Loda managed to suck out all of the little enjoyment this series used to provide:risiup:
Ironically if Oda was getting the succ more often, we might get much better writing. Although goda knows MOST of the fanbase already verbally sucks him off and would do it literally if they could!

Only 15 pages, RIP. Not surprising though. I like this chapter so far but the pacing is awful too. Oda cut away from Luffy and Loki as expected too sadly.

:milaugh::lusalty:
 
The whole Lego plot could have been a break, what was even the point? Seriously, why did he even write this and waste weeks on something that doesn't move the plot in the final saga?
I think it's clear that the whole Lego world thing was supposed to be a lot longer originally, but that he did in fact cut it down heavily.

It's the only way it makes sense to me when I look at the part where Nami steals the map, memorizes it by heart (which we're supposed to find cool and impressive), just for the straw hats to run in a literal straight path for a couple hundred meters and get out. The way it was written is extremely odd.

This was me in 2018-2020 writing rants about OP.

I slowly moved away from OP and started reading series like JJK, ToG, Chainsaw man, Sakamoto Days and some others.

I have read all of what you wrote.
This reminded me of a smiliar story:

Candy-maker Willy Wonka hid five Golden Tickets amongst his famous "Wonka Bars". The finders of these special tickets would be given a full tour of his tightly guarded candy factory as well as a lifetime supply of chocolate. The contest set off a global craze, with everyone desperately seeking the tickets.


We, readers, will love to get the chocolates (ending of OP). But we have to find golden tickets, which will likely take half a century :milaugh:

Oda is not selling the manga, story, art, or anything else you can name. He is selling the "craze" that he initially created and it depends on sustaining the "desperstion" of readers/fans. He throws the candies here and there to please the fans, but not the golden tickets :myman:
Think of Oda as a business man, and it is his strategy. But I hope he does not inspire others to do the same, for obvious reasons.
Ah yes, Oda, the master of suffering through suspense. I mean, Willy Wonka gave out five golden tickets. Oda? He gave us one, and then burned the map to find it. At this point, the real One Piece is just Oda sitting in his office cackling, thinking, “How much longer can I keep these clowns theorizing?”

And let’s talk about that candy analogy. Oda’s not throwing candies—he’s tossing crumbs and watching us fight over them like pigeons in a park. He’ll drop something about Shanks, reveal half a Poneglyph, or tease Joy Boy in a flashback, and we act like we’ve been fed a gourmet meal. Meanwhile, the actual “golden ticket” is locked in his vault, probably unfinished because he’s still figuring out what the hell the One Piece even is.

There's a popular theory that he might hide the last chapter in real life? Oh, it’s so on brand for him. I can totally see Oda making us scour the globe for clues, only to find the final page taped to the underside of a random bench in some rural Japanese town, written in ancient kanji, and requiring three other “chapters” to decode. And the kicker? He wouldn’t even tell us it exists. He’d just sit back and let the fanbase go feral.

Let’s not kid ourselves: Oda doesn’t just create a story—he creates a grind. Every chapter is another level in his never-ending MMO of pain. And somehow, we’re all subscribed, maxing out our theorist stats, and waiting for that sweet endgame loot that might just turn out to be a sign that says, “The real One Piece was the friends you made along the way. Also, buy the merch.”

Anyway, I totally get where you’re coming from with Oda selling the craze. He’s made One Piece an experience, not just a story. Let’s just hope he doesn’t inspire others to take “milking” a fanbase to this level, because honestly, we’re all clowns out here holding our golden tickets. 😂

Tyvm for reading all of that and responding too btw ofc!

@Kizaruber Eats Oh, you mean this discussion being only 15 pages :milaugh:

That's what happens when we get nothing. If Oda would just stop using silhouettes we could at least speculate what <new character> would be doing. :(

Remember when he made fucking Kawamatsu into a Silhouette? Oda's using more silhouettes on his characters than freaking Case Closed on the murderers. :suresure:
Honestly at least it's justified with the murderers ofc, in assuming they're silhouetted when the murderer is shown? Not seen CC in many years.
The opposite approach of Ace Attorney which actually shows the killers lol.

The worst part is, Oda hyped up Rootbeer in that cell for AGES! he kept doing dramatic panels showing angry eyes in the darkness and said it was a legendary prisoner I think?
Only for it to be AYYYY KAPPA MEME LMAO!
