The fights in fishman island are not interesting at all. It's the lore that saves the arc.
Yeah definitely. FMI was extremely underwhelming for the Post TS showcase/1st arc.
Lore/world building was great but fights we're def underwhelming except maybe Usopp, Robin, Jinbei and Sanji.
Punk Hazard didn't give us much either, mostly a Luffy show and was unnecessarily awful for Sanji too, sigh.
Stampede gave us Sanji vs Lucci briefly, so I hope Sanji gets to fight him this arc too. Sanji vs CP0 would be dope but he's not gonna fight Stussy regardless ofc.
I don't think we're gonna get long fights this arc though too, especially in the manga. Might need Toei to stretch them out again like Wano.
