BMP >>>>>> any yonko crew for character and personality. This has always been true
Even Big Mom herself stands out :

- dozens of husbands and children

- wants to have all races in her kingdoom

- obsessed with sweets

- hunger pangs that change her personality and how she behaves

- unique devil fruit with unique homies

WCI is my second favorite arc after Dressrosa.

Yeah, the Big Mom Pirates are the most interesting Emperor crew in terms of designs, themes, characters, dynamics and personality with their twisted family dynamic, with some genuine care and love beneath the toxicity and ruthlessness, their diversity in designs, races and powers, their colorful appearances, and that they are the only Emperor crew that feels both like a criminal and military empire.

While WCI arc had its share of issues, it still had the best old gen Yonko crew. Even with tons and tons of characters, they still felt distinct, the dysfunctional family dynamic fit them very well, and I am honestly genuinely interested to see what became of them now. Is Perospero now the reigning king of Tottoland? Are they trying to rescue Pudding? Is the empire still holding without BM and her fruit? I am still wondering! While with Kaido's crew they were just there, and I don't care what became of the roppos and thousands of smile DF users. Queen apparently found his way to neo Mads, and King is a free agent, and these are the only two remotely interesting characters.

he just doesn't do enough for me to care or be entertained by him
same for hawkins
Probably the one thing I'd probably give Toriyama over Oda as a writer is how his shoehorned characters would change the course of the story. Whether he didn't need them or want them, he understood an obligation to use them.

With not only the supernovas but even Straw Hat plot lines, you can tell when Oda is just done with it

This is my problem with him and his crew

the early characterisation portrayed him and the Rocks pirates as baddies and « evil »

And yet Oda went an extra mile to soften the blow and portrayed them in a lighter way than expected

I wasn’t a fan of that. I don’t mind at all Xebec not being an evil monster, and I even liked that but I think Oda went a bit too far in the « hero » thing

Oda did tell that he cleansed towns after towns


Problem is anything bad he did was mostly off screened and anything good he did was highlighted more and more.


Oda won't have good guys that wouldn't think twice about harming children ( Loki).

He's evil but not that evil compared to WG


But with his relatively small crew he was already destroying countries and doing cleansing, God knows how much damage he could do if he had massive weapons and armies of WG.


I'm still conflicted about Rocks. I was indifferent, then liked him but then dislike him.


His man management in particular is bad. None really respected him in the crew, none think twice to ditch him once things get hard.

None really cared why he become Domi Reversi . They all had collective amnesia about Rocks existence afterwards



The main thing about Rocks is his "Echo".
He singlehandedly started the chain to destabilize 800 y.o strong world order and it's eventually downfall in just roughly around 50 years+.

it's weird since blackbeard's crew is shaping up to be everything xebec's crew should've been
they have vasco who's a proud rapist and drunkard, devon who's a perverted killer that keeps the heads of beautiful women (can't imagine what she does to those heads after..), shiryu is weak, burgess destroys public property and actively tries to kill random civilians, etc.
