Why is there such a huge lack of tension in one piece? It's because Lolda keeps clowning on all the bad guy antagonists just for cheap fanservice hype for the popular goody goody characters. People thought Oda shitted on greenbull because he hates marines, yet oda was more than happy to glorify Garp, ThE LegEnDarY HeRo. What's the difference? Because garp is a nice guy and greenbull is not. Imagine clowning a final war antagonist just for fanservice. But Lolda didn't stop there. He has now clowned on luffy's rival too. Antagonists and rivals in the dirt. "BBBUT MARINES AREN'T THE REAL ANTAGONIST ANYWAY, REAL VILLAINS ARE GOROSEI AND IMU ALL ABOVE ADMIRALS". This just shows how desperate the fandom actually is for tension and intimidating villains. Op fans literally have to HEADCANON THEIR OWN TENSION INTO THE STORY because deep down they know if things stay the way they are, we are going to get some boring micky mouse final war. Fans have no choice to but to pretend that oda is secretly storing all this tension in the form of 5 ugly old men. Some people are even hoping shanks has actually been a villain the whole time even if that means creating the most garbage nonsensical plot twist in manga history. That's how desperate people are
Even Blackbeard looks like a clown. Choking boa and running from old Rayleigh is not good enough hype for an endgame antagonist. But blackbeards crew is even worse. They have absolutely 0 hype so far. However, now Oda has a chance with the situation at Hachinosu. There are 3 choices Oda can make
Option 1: Shiryu/pizzaro/vasco kill or capture garp. (hypes up the blackbeard pirates as a powerfull, dangerous force and creates excitement for the future prospect of strawhats vs blackbeard pirates. Also creates some drama and emotion due to garps loss)
Option 2: Garp wins. (makes blackbeard's crew look like the biggest weakling clowns to the point that even after getting new devil fruits, they still cant beat an old man that just uses big punches)
Option 3: Trollda somehow inserts some interruption and avoids the conflict entirely and wastes all of our time
Hopefully Oda makes the right choice. Praying on Garp's downfall rn
