General & Others What's a criticism of One Piece that's often overlooked?

Also, the humor in OP is very hit and miss. I said it before (I think in the OP unpopular opinions thread), but a good chunk of the comedy is just characters repeating the punchline of jokes that even a toddler would've already understood. It feels extremely redundant and sucks all the life out of these jokes since there's always some dumb fodder character going "hurr durr that's hypocritical for sanji to call absalom a creep when he peeps on women in showers!!!" as if that's not painfully obvious.
I don't even get why he always has some designated peanut gallery characters just standing by waiting to make idiotic comments.

The Straw Hats, mainly Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji, don't want to teach the others abilities that could be beneficial to them in the long run. For example, Usopp unlocked coo Haki but has no idea how to use it.
Back then Usopp help Nami become stronger by making the clima tact.
Now we know brook has a great ability that zoro can learn but he won't because it doesn't fit his style.

Silhouette piece.
Silhouettes are nice... once in a while. Oda spams them.
Another one is Kishimoto once commented that Oda's style of writing is repetitive due to the geography of the planet. Go to an island, defeat the bad guy, move on to the next island. Boring and uncreative.
It mirrors a tower ascension theme where it just goes up to the next level each time. It may as well be a Mortal Kombat ladder in that sense.

The art. Oda clearly has been deteriorating in this department and should've gotten someone else to draw the manga while he focuses on story and writing. It would also be better for his health.
This is something I used to see criticism of but not lately, likely because we just got used to scribble piece.

Unsaid criticism: Kid should've had more plot.
Law had a ton of plot. He, like Kid, were introduced as the equivalent captains of Luffy. It's pretty disappointing that Shanks dogged him.
In fact, Kid was portrayed in the middle wasn't he? That should've indicated he was a force.
Did... Luffy twist his head around in this video the same way he did in G5? That's weird (54 seconds in).
Compare what happens at like 47 seconds and compare it to what just happened at 54 seconds in the last video. It's the same shit, guys.
