Yep. It's not even a competition.
One Piece went downhill with the second part of WCI when Big Mom got reduced from a terrifying Yonko to a gigantic crying retard who consistently shouts at a wedding cake and got clowned by weak trio and Jimbei. After that, everything just went completely terrible.
Oda clearly needs new editors or a long, long, long break 1.) to focus on his health 2.) sharpening his writing skills again because let's be honest, Oda's writing is complete trash rn and if it was a newbie mangaka, it wouldn't even win the first competition against other mangas.
Sure, people can also just say "Fuck that shit, Oda doesn't have to care about his haters", yes, he doesn't have to listen to randoms. It's perfectly reasonable. However, it's worrisome if more and more people start to criticize each chapter in which the writing went off. He can give no fucks to 100 or 1000 people - but what if it starts reaching 6 digits of complainers?
