I’ll give you that was actually impressive, and pumba is carrying the gorosei so far, but that doesn’t erase that the explosions would’ve killed him without his regen too.

Again if you think these guys are some final villains go ahead, but there’s plenty of reasons for others to think they aren’t t
Thats the thing though they have their regen lol, its like saying without their logia admirals can be hit without haki. Like yeah no shit.

Also again, they dont bother protecting themselves with Haki because they are immortal lol.
 
OP editors have stopped filtering Oda since at least WCI, if not during Dressrosa. Oda has been given free reign and the result is similar to wrestling with an unfiltered Vince Russo.
 
Plot armor and plot induced stupidity favoring the Straw Hats and their allies were up to a nauseating degree during WCI and even more during Wano, with a total absence of sense of danger and stakes and real epicness.

It was clear that the Straw Hats and their allies weren't the underdogs at all, with the plot being stacked so heavily in their favor and against the BMP and BP. It's part of why I dropped One Piece for a while in the second half of WCI and in the third act of Wano.
I don’t even consider it plot convenience because Oda didn’t have to bring Smoothie or any of the other characters who weren’t going to fight to Wano. That was a prime example of bad writing. Big Mom could have came with just Perospero Kaido wouldn’t be able to deal with her and the straw hats anyway his crew would get wrecked.
 
My forgot about Brook blitzing BM, Jimbei throwing her off the ship and Chopper blocking her palm on the ship lol.
Plot does crazy things
Kizaru literally missed a headshot on Buggy when he could snipe a key out of Luffy's hand from a distance
Akainu missed a punch on Buggy
And let's not forget Oda conveniently choosing the Admiral that wouldn't instantly one shot kill the SHs in Sabaody.
Also stuff like Kinemon surviving Kaido raping him raw in the castle
 
I seriously cannot take Oda anymore. He actually started the arc beautifully, drew good panels, had good pacing, had good lore that got us interested. But no, he had to clog the story, spread 1 second of universe time to 25 chapters at the end didn’t he?! He should either move to biweekly/monthly manga or let someone else draw for him. He introduces unnecessary amount of characters, he always says this and that and …, his only humour in the last 15 years is shitting on Sanji and drawing bad wanted posters for Franky. F*cking FT finished an entire manga, started a new one and finished like 10 arcs with the power of friendship and also full comedic empty chapters before this guy could finish even one arc. I am fine with him showing reactions, saying Clover is a D., Roger is a D. etc. but, just move the story forward already and if you can’t, leave it to someone that can!
 
Looking back all the Yonko have been actively nerfed either by plot or by Lolda himself except for Golden Boy Snitch

Whitebeard: world-destroying OP, moves oceans, splits MF in half, top tier Haki, AP to two-shot an Admiral, but heart attack >>>>>>

BM: controls the weather, Giant Sun Prometheus, lightning attacks with huge AoE and AP, regen, unblockable lasers, ACoC, but CoA punches >>>>>>>>

Kaido: complete fighter, only below Roger and Primebeard, but gauntlet, carrying a whole island, not dodging Bajrang Gun >>>>>>>>

Goofy: Jesus fruit, ACoC, can restart heart, future sight, but being a retard who forgot ACoC and needing food every 10 seconds >>>>>>>>>

It only makes sense Goofy is hit with the same PIS and comes out looking weaker than he ought to be.
 
Literally nothing.

All they do is nod and cry on queue.
Holy shit, hes basically unchecked with unlimited power now. No wonder the story has gone to shit lol. Oda is amazing, he has an amazing imagination but hes not like George RR Martin where they know the story from to B hes more of a gardener type of writer where he grows his story as things progress while having a sekeleton story to write around it.

And this unchecked imagination is showing lol, the dude is introducing anything that goes through his head lol.

It's obvious that Oda didn't even had a clue on what to do with Big Mom and Smoothie and other members of the BMP not named Katakuri or Perospero (and even they were mishandled in many ways). And when he makes Kishimoto's handling of Sakura looks good it says a lot about how badly he screwed her and her crew up.
 
Egghead will mostly be remembered for the outside chapters tho
Sure that be part of it and the kuma flashback and even some elder hype imo.
Yes the pacing slow down since the VP talk but the break effect the pacing much more than the in manga pacing .
The pace is still find like it took one chapter for atlas to get to the sunny to help it out and then blow up her self.
It the VP part that kinda has the pacing slow .

And when they get defeated; it’s because their regen hax is going to be exposed and useless.

and that’s just your headcanon that they’re going to completely change their fighting style once their regen gets exposed.
 
She could have become this indeed, she had an interesting crazy mob boss character combined with terrifying strength and durability, Elbaf techniques, extremely powerful Coc and one of the most powerful and versatile devil fruits whose only limits are the powers of your imagination.
The fact that she's this powerful mafia figure with a vast network of info and influence made her truly terrifying on paper, and Germa not only implied that they could have Big Mom put a hit out on Zeff or have him assassinated, she could've just as easily threatened to do the same to the home islands of each of the straw hats for daring to cross her. But that fact that just gets forgotten about along with any notion of a Germa alliance or any relevance for Big Mom or her association with Elbaf. She just gets brushed away as a dud and becomes Big Meme.
But Oda and strong female characters don't go along well, and it's obvious that Oda had no clue on what to do with Big Mom once he realized that she was too powerful for the Straw Hats and their allies in WCI and for the Supernovas in Wano, the result was the shitshow and hot burning garbage that we saw in both WCI and Wano.
Just LOda things.

Its not my headcanon, their fucking Haki was higlighted multiple times holy shit lol. What do you think they do with that insane haki lol.

Saturn literally said that he wouldve dodged if he thought this would hurt him when Bonney attacked him.

With Katakuri, the man created one of the most ambitious and popular new villains to come from the timeskip, and having his fight with Luffy end with the implication that he let Luffy win was the perfect setup for a rematch, which again felt like the Straw Hats and BM would cross paths again with proper fights against the whole crew, but instead... well you already know.
