Controversial Worst writing in the manga

#41
Well some moments that come to my mind is:
1) kizaru not head-shotting luffy at marineford but decides to destroy the key indeed.
2) Crocodile loosing to luffy.
3) Moria not knowing haki while every non fodder character in the new world has it.
4) Ennies lobby(one of the 3 main navy facilities) being protected by basically no one. Impel down had magellan, Marineford had fleet admiral and admirals. Who the heck was protecting Ennies Lobby?
5) Mihawk not being able to dominate vista. If someone is hyped as yonko equal in strength, should be mighty enough to destroy a yc in no more than a few minutes.
6) Not exactly bad writing but a strong marine should have died in marineford. Pirates lost whitebeard and ace. Who did marines lost? A very one sided war if you actually think about it.
7) dressrosa hole cake and wano should have been much shorter. Especially the first 2.
8) wano should have been much darker as an arc. More deaths more bad moments. Instead we saw a circus of idiotic looking zoan devil fruit users, fodder numbers and no op samurai villain.
9) shanks loosing his arm and pell not dying. Ok those are the obvious ones.
10) yamato probably having awakening. How is it possible someone who has barely used her devil fruit, being in sea stoned handcuffs almost all her life, using awakening?
11) zoro using adv coc out of nowhere.
12) And last, how it it possible whitebeard and roger pirates were equal. Newgate's only really strong crewmembers were rookie marco, oden and vista. Thats it. Roger had rayleigh and gaban. Oden handled gaban but who the heck was strong enough to match rayleigh? Doesnt make sense. Only rational answer is whitebeard being much stronger than roger but he was never despicted that way. Same applies to big mom pirates. She was the only strong nember of her crew back in the day. Roger pirates should have dominated both with ease.

that guy hit the all points :) but i cannot agree 6 , marine or world goverment never win anything during 25 years :) always losing all arcs :)
also you forget , imu can destroy island can teleport all elders probably fought against joyboy and his all friends and won but he could not kill mere sabo and wapol inside room :)

There are good things and was a huge potential for good in One Piece with Big Mom, her backstory and goal are interesting, she actually rules like an emperor and do criminal things like a mob boss, her territory and crew are the most interesting of all Emperors (in my opinion) and she had some crazy potential with her personality, powers (titanic strength, durability, resilience + great haki power + one of the most powerful and versatile devil fruits she uses creatively + super scream).

The problem is that Oda's execution and treatment of her was absolutely horrible, no doubt in large part due to his sexism, and him visibly having no idea on what to do with Big Mom.

That is my point. Instead of writing 3 4 years wano arc and consuming so much time with orochi , 9 bla bla , momo , he can split 2 and 2 years for each emperor with the alighment of just strawhats.
which kind of emperor can go into cake crisis , can be stopped with delicious cake , still non make sense to lose law and kid :)
luffy g5 power (most powerful awakening btw) + coc coating barely beat the kaido bounry 4.6 b . law and kid without any advanced type haki knowledge beat 4.3 b monster who knows all type of haki , and his devil fruit op than law and kidd. then oda made kaido say
devil fruit does not conqueror sea , haki can :)
who gives a shit that sentence after big mom treatment :)

-Rogue who manages to keep baby Ace in her belly for months and months waaay after 9 months,thats just non-sense

-The Tontattas should have just been scrapped. Useless

-Shamrock the evil twin
I find Rouge's situation poetic and actually one of the few weird elements that make OP a better story.

As for the Tontattas, I do not care for them, nor do I find the evil twin storyline a good addition.

Yes they usually lose but imagine how much more epic marineford would be if aokiji got killed for example. War is about loss and marines had none significant one.
Of course if we elaborate more on this, we can find many more examples of bad writing in a 30 years old manga but some were more apparent than others for sure.

I dont know,it just seemed like a way for Oda to adjust the fact that Ace otherwise could have not be Roger's son,because the dates didnt coincide,so he added this completely unrealistic element (because its not humanly possible to keep the baby for so long!) and didnt even try to explain it with some powers. Maybe he could have added a fruit power to Rogue where she could have changed the shape of her body,or something similar.
(Unless..she had the Nika fruit before Luffy?? Interesting possibility!) But so far,it has not explanation so it can be categorized as trash writing.

The Tontattas were first planned by Oda to be an arc on their own,then he decided to put them in Dressrosa. But they just contributed to make Dressrosa even longer

And Shamrock,well..i even find him cool,but,as some people said in the past weeks,the "evil twin" is usually a plot twist used in soap opera parodies,not even real soap opera lol

Most of my first thoughts have already been mentioned so I'll add something else to the pile: Hancock and her sisters forgetting they could just tattoo/brand something else over their CD marks instead of living in such desperate fear of anyone seeing the marks that they'd kill innocent people over it

The issue with Katakuri's mouth looks ridiculous when you remember that there are other Charlotte children and BMP with stranger traits than his fanged mouth, that his closest siblings perfectly accepted it, and that his younger sister Poire has a fanged mouth as well and yet doesn't hide it at all.
Yes but only katakuri was seen as "perfect". And a perfect man has no flaws.
