I never said they weren't neccesary for the story. I'm saying the Straw Hats got neglected in the process. The pacing. Lack of proper development for the Straw Hats outside of Sanji.

Nah One Piece is ending sooner. Elbaf is clearly wrapping up things to set up for the final Act of the story. We're already at the point where he's fighting IMU. Oda introducing too many side characters is a very real criticism. That choice has limited SH interaction exponentially, which was...

Joyboy is dead, not sure how Luffy would talk to him at all lol.

Oda set up it being a Zoan using Gear 4. But i genuinely wish it was just a special paramecia or something lol.

Remember Luffy ate a bunch of food prior to fighting. Awakened Zoans have quicker recovery and Luffy knows how to use Life Return.

I agree. While I think post Wano has been an improvement overall, I think I've reached a point where I've outgrown this manga. I only read to see how it ends. Maybe one day when this is all over I'll give One Piece as a whole a reread, but for I want this to be done lol. Post Timeskip has had a...

You see, this is foolishness lol. Why would I compare a battle Shonen author to Shakespeare or Christopher Nolan? Oda is a good author. Good authors dont only write media those two make lol.

Nah I don't think so. Sanji has had great development and pay off from pre timeskip to current lol. I think Oda is struggling balancing the way he wants to write Luffy and the way he needs to be written, if that makes sense.

Ah, so this is what y'all mean. Eh imo I think this is no fault of the author and y'all got long running manga fatigue. This weekly format with all these breaks Oda has to take in recent times is harrowing. It slows up the pacing dramatically. I'm sure we would've already been in the actual...

I wouldnt say so. After he unlocked Gear 2, Gear 3 and Gear 4 he pretty much took fights more seriously (outside of a few exceptions of course) until Gear 5 came around and he threw caution to the wind. Nobody was complaining about how goofy Luffy was fighting before he awakened his fruit lol.

Bruh lol

Oda is building up to the payoff and you're complaining about not getting one lol?

He's a good author. Luffy was simply never a serious MC even when he is being serious.

Nope. Remember Luffy restarted his heart when G5 ran out during the Kaido fight.

OPM's author does it by making the big bad be stronger than the side characters. Then Saitama comes and one shots them. Its a Parody manga. Other authors do for characters like Superman for example, but focusing on like politics or other themes. The problem is, One Piece is a battle Shonen...
