That's not an One Piece specific issue lol
It literally is. No other manga is bloated by fodder like one piss is.
Look at new JJK spinoff Modulo
It's only in its 22 chapters or something but it managed to tell far more bigger story than oda's bum ass did in 600 chapters after timeskip started.
Not only does it have far more coherent and deeper story, but it also has far more fights, coherent power system and amazing art.
You don't see the author there trying to gaslight the reader that some fodder is strong.
An actual strong person comes in and wipes everyone out because that's LOGICALLY how it would play out without dumbing down characters and making the idiot of the reader.
But even the art fell off a massive cliff. Pacing is objectively worse, which means bloat is objectively worse. The least he could do is atleast draw one good highlight panel in 20 chapters...he can't even give his readers that much.
Oda's paneling always has been boring, even in preTS it was just the most basic ass paneling possible, postTS oda just can't even do basic paneling anymore because he has to cram irrelevent fodder reactions.
Look at Togashi, he's older than Oda yet he's a real artist who knows how paneling works, he's not restricting to basic squares or rectangles, his characters pop out because he understands space.
And art being shit compared to preTS is just him being lazy and not improving throughout the series unlike other mangaka
Pacing is worse because he doesn't know what to write about, he knows his readers are only here and reading it because he's blue balling them, as soon as he reveals (the most underwhelming) mysteries, everyone will stop caring about this slop.
Better to write some dumb arc like Elbaf where nothing happens, insert some retarded mural so that sheep think it's some deep shit or something and make them believe it's some deep mystery.

The whole concept of the new world crew revolves around numbers. It only took 2/500 Gifters to take down Sanji so yes, kaido's crew had what it took to beat any one group
Classic NPC trying to defend oda as if oda himself did not try to pretend that sanji was stuck in a web and then still kicked those fodders when webbed up
Who are you trying to fool here by claiming they are a threat? Me?
Because you are only making yourself look like retard.
But sure, since 2 gifters = Sanji then that means 2 gifters =zoro which means 4 gifters can easily beat king and scar kaido
