When I think of good arcs I think of Water 7, Jaya, Baratie, Little garden, Skypia
When I think of bad arcs I think of Wano, Egghea- now that I think about it, I might as well add Elbaf to this list too
OMG YES, Jaya was fucking great too! I used to love Little Garden (even though I had to go back and re-read it as those self righteous assholes at 4Kids cut out the entire arc and Laboon from their OP dub and I got into One Piece from seeing their dub on TV) but after a certain recent chapter, I now can't stand reading that arc and well seeing Dorry and Broggy in general. But then again, seeing Dorry and Broggy get fucked up a lot and trolled by Gangster Galdino/Chaddino is catharthic as hell in hindsight ironically.
So many arcs post TS are fucking terrible with great moments thrown in at best. Dressrosa, Wano and WCI have the the most good/best moments and storylines post TS but its like finding bits of gold in literal gigantic piles of trash at best.
Lololol definitely add Elbaf pre-emptively! Just wait until Oda does away with his usual amazing arc setups and goes straight into his shitty outdated, cliche, repetitive as hell formula that really slows down the story and stagnates it with all the stalling, offscreening, stupid gag moments, unlike pre TS where it was constantly funny and not trying so hard and out of touch and we get both the villains and strawhats dumbed down, the SHs get sidelined for side characters nobody likes and will be irrelevant after the arc and Oda will make some absolutely reprehensible characters who are meant to be "good" and heroic look absolutely like villains/evil when they are meant to be tragic, the actual victims and such.
Given how much Vicky the Viking and thus vikings means to Oda as well as god knows how much Norse/Scandinavian mythology and culture does and Fables and giants, I'ms scared to see if Elbaf will just be another Wano or Dressrosa at least, as in overbloated and way too stretched out (pun intended).
Egghead wasn't even 2 years long and a large chunk of the arc was spent outside of it at least but during Egghead itself it felt far longer and like Dressrosa, it felt twice the length and Wano had the same problem and Wano was 4 years long...so yeah......that was Hell ofc. Big Mom chasing the SHs at end of WCI went on for 25ish chapters I think too, that shit dragged on forever too.
I wonder what the inevitable timebomb will be for Elbaf too? Akainu erupting and destroying the place? A sort of Film Z type storyline but more personal/direct on his part with his devil fruit? Akainu does a Surtur and brings Ragnarok?...

In before AI ends up finishing the story before Oda, because he won't at this rate regardless!
The way it was worded screams trolling, but in case it isn't then:
LMFAO, perfect response! This dude could be a typical One Piece character with this as his gag too! The Reverse Vegapunk?!
