This 2 year blip for OP has become utter trash and now Oda is just adding in any random flashback to rationalize / justify any and everything that doesnt make sense from the cannon storyline.
The worst parts of TS One Piece for me:
-Crew feels less alive, they interact less with each other
-paneling got exponentially worse
-He wastes too much time in certain arcs (did we really need a dozen chapters, possibly more, fighting cracker in the magical forest at WCI?) and rushes other things that shouldn't be rushed
But he has really a lot at hand rn.
