To be frank, the fact that Doffy managed to dig such an important position for himself in the world's balance of power politics thanks to his knowledge and mastery over the blackmarket is badass in and of itself.
Dude had pretty much every big faction on the globe in his pockets from the WG...
Tbh am not even convinced Kuzan needs to be defeated at some point. As far as we know, his hidden agenda could very well put him on the "right side" by the time of the final conflict.
I just don't really buy the idea that the narrative Oda is going for is that Kuzan has completely lost his way...
I think the very first "plan" you pointed out kinda reveals how Teach approaches things. Dude was pretty much willing to let fate decide if he would pursue his goal are just give up on it entirely. If the Yami didn't come to him, he seemingly would have just continued sailing with the WB pirates...
Law and Kid vs BM was lame. The only sections that Oda bothered to draw were simple and repetitive. The whole thing was so segmented that it never managed to feel like the huge climatic showdown the very last scene tried to sell it as.
Zoro vs King was disappointing in terms of action (art...
I don't remember any recent spread having color work/shading this good. Makes the art stand out in a odly, slightly realistic style you don't really expect from One Piece. Pretty great work
I think what makes it notable is that the time it takes Garp to handle the fodder and commanders would have been spent keeping up the pressure on Kuzan in more neutral circumstances.
Basically, the situation they were in forced Garp to give up on potential follow up attacks each time he...
Bruh am beyond hyped for Kuzan. He's probably got the most ambigious position among the characters featured in the spread and this confirms that whatever his move will be most definitely will impact the course of the war in a big way
Don't mess it up Oda!
Probably any relevant swordfighter, destructive logias like Sabo, Kizaru, Akainu, paramecias like Fujitora and Teach and all those guys who generate long distance blasts like Garp, Koby, Elizabelo and am gonna assume Burgess.

Also Luffy (big punch), Kaido (Boro Breath) and BM (homies...
Think the problem is more so that Kid was never a very compelling character in the first place. He wasn't given the focus and achievements necessary to feel like a somewhat decent rival to Luffy despite that dynamic being forced all throughout the series since his introduction and being the only...
Kuzan also has the potential to be a great vehicle to explore some of One Piece's most complex themes. Looking forward to seeing the rest of his storyline.
Mentioned already but yeah gotta hand it to Fisher Tiger.
Could have easily been a pretty straight forward freedom fighter with good morals type of character but Oda did a good job fleshing him out far beyond that. His death has to be one of the most powerful moments in the manga with how it...
I really don't see what's so surprising here. Kizaru is a well liked character and people wanted his action scenes to be more interesting and fully realized. The disappointment here is not about power level expectations or agendas, it's about visual variety and cool and unique combat...
Cool of them to give Kid at least some shine by going all out in portraying the level of destruction his attack would have left. Seeing it in so much detail also gives some extra weight to Shanks being that pissed.
Think it was nicely executed all in all.
Weirdest inconsistency with Luffy right now has to be his G5 endurance in Wano compared to Egghead. He's been consistently needing to replenish himself here when he somehow managed to power through his exhausted state with nothing but sheer will power in the Kaido fight while being in a much...
