Fair enough I kinda agree
Outside of the Onigashima fights, the Oden flashback, and a few key moments here and there I think this arc is terrible
Way too long, way too much plot convenience and nonsense, unlikeable cast of characters (the scabbards are struggling to crack top 50 in the polls), the strawhats outside of a key few have done pretty much nothing, subplots that either go nowhere or have unsatisfying ends, etc
