Oda is lost. He was already said to have a weakness making characters likable and believable in the past. Now he's old, famous and nobody will ever bother to stand up to him when this weakness shows. The old bastard even complained about younger staff not telling him his character acted unnatural and not being able to yell at them because they're were fans since they were children. He is just like every other old japan video game developer that leads a franchise/company to it doom because none of the younger staff would dare speak against them.

He jumping all over the place in an unplanned way and not concluding his ideas. He dragging out events too long. He is noticably bending the whole story to PR marketing whims but in a way that hurts in the long run. I bet netflix is twisting his arms for their own agenda like they did with resident evil so they could fail with Leon Kendeny's netflix show.

One more gear 5 episode to go. This is what we've been waiting one whole year for.... This is suppose to be "peak". 3 more weeks.
 
Oda actually already finished the manga when he wrote Skypiea. But then he repeated his story again writing ripoff arcs that culminate in ripoff Skypiea, because money milking
That's not how it works...
Although Oda does have repeated stories...
Skypiea isn't one of these things.
Skypiea is best arc.
Skypiea has almost everything.
Adventure , mystery , Romance of the sea , fights and gags.

Oda definitely at least had his initial ending written down by the time Skypeia was written. This is why Skypeia and Alabasta are two of the best arcs. They were back when oda had arcs that constantly connected to the lore of the OP world and grew the world as well as the characters.
 
What're you guy's theories about the Lulusia eraser beam weapon?

Seems it doesn't disintegrate the affected area, but rather puts up a barrier like thing in the hole it creates. And probably teleports the targeted area.

If it merely disintegrated the target, obviously the hole wouldn't be there for but a super short time. It would fill up with water.

And it's implied that the water levels rising around the world is a direct consequence of this weapon use. If it disintegrated the island and the water around it all the way to the bottom, the water levels should be decreasing.

But since it increased, I think that what the weapon does is, teleport/erase the target, and then replace it with an invisible barrier that holds the shape of a gigantic hole in the middle of the ocean.



So, we might actually get to see Lulusia back someday. And whatever was inside Enies lobby too, as well as any other usage of that weapon we don't know of.
