This interview right here is very revealing as to the motives and intentions Oda has for his One Piece storyline
Have a gander folks. Oda says he was originally approaching One Piece with the intended goal to make this story about overcoming the strongest pirates , the “Yonkou”. This is the overarching narrative that defined One Piece from the start, which means he is most likely staying true to the original concept, adding certain concepts and content here and there but continue with his original inspiration.
If you are a Zoro fan and don’t like the way Mihawk has been portrayed, and you just can’t seem to make heads and tails about it, you have your answer right here. He is not close to being a MC.
Why? Oda literally says he came up with the Schichibukais later as an afterthought. The warlords are just an add-on to the overarching storyline of Luffy vs Great Pirates, just to add some sense of “coolness” (Oda’s words).
It’s the same way with admirals fans, if you are arguing for Admiral supremacy, even if you convince yourself with “logic” that they are superior to yonkos, don’t you feel you are just shooting yourself in the foot and setting yourself up for failure when you are going against the storyline that Oda started with.
What are your thoughts? Is this too much Black Pill at once, or can you handle that you’ve been living in a haze all this time as to what you think Oda’s motives have been about his own story? A story about the strongest pirates at the end of the day, but you insisted on trying to sneak in Zoro, Mihawk or admirals in there where there really was no vacant place for them to begin with.
I say this because I don’t want people to go down a path that’s doomed to fail and be of no use.
