It seems like you're literally agreeing that the Straw Hats have no agency and just let Oda carry them around until things happen to them. Like I said, they're just planks of wood. The slightest hint of interest in the location of the last poneglyph would be nice to see, yes. A conversation before Egghead saying "it's hard to find" is not really good enough.
They going explore things at there own pace because there is no reason to rush .
Once again you have given no reason why they should panic or rush for info etc etc .
All you saying is the world ending so they should rush when there no hard time limit.
If i ask you how many weeks or months the world has left you won't have answer since we did not get one and no one in the world knows not even VP that gave the message.
The SH will show interested in last poneglyph when the time comes after they check out a island they have been dreaming to see for years and meet up with people they know and help them .
