Well it's dumb but like it's as db as it's always been
Do you remember the circumstances around how they saved alabasta from the bomb and how luffy found Crocodile? Or do you remember the entire buster call business and how stupid the villains were?
One piece has always been this dumb. It's just that people expect it to be more serious now but it's not. Same old shit.
I'm one of the people who expect it to be more serious but I recognise this is the same shit that's always been happening since East blue
I remember all of them; and yes, they were as shitty as now. Pell surviving that nuke was absolutely unreasonable and was not relevant at all.
STILL, it does not excuse the amount of the current PIS in Wano, it's utterly a mess.
You are one of these people who do not push their expectations that high, it's okay - I'll do it as well now.
On the other hand, you talk about the incompetence of the BMP when in fact, it is Oda's own incompetence to portray them like that, to let them do totally irritated stuff for no damn reason when the same crew is known for its 1.) huge intels, 2.) versatility in DF and 3.) for characters being sharp and cunning (Perospero), they are not dumb; I mean, they defended their territories for decades, dude.
It's sure as hell that Oda pulled out too many characters and factors on this arc - and now he does not know how to deal with it. And the war has not even started yet!
Honestly, if it was Fairy Tail, people would bash it AS HELL but since it's OP, people come up with "It was always like that!" posts like that...
I think that's enough rant for now...
