Pre-TS piece: 10/10
Post-TS piece: 8/10
Wano piece: 6/10
Post-1043 Juan's chosen piss: 0/10, literally reading for no other reason than blind hope that oda takes back what he did and saves the story + sunk cost
Restoring the soul of one piece in time for the final lap. Adventure. Character development and meaningful character moments. Freedom. Inherited will. Dreams. Lessons that transcend the pages and wisdom for a life lived 10 times over. Beautiful panels and logical pacing. Stakes and tension.

Luffy has no idea who nika/joy boy is. Luffy doesn't even know he exists. And the story is going to make him inherit his will by literally becoming him. Do you not see the problem here?
Lets use an example. Sanji wants to find the all blue, as he took inspiration from zeff. However, he was bred by judge to be a perfect soldier. Luffy wants to be a pirate like shanks even though garp wanted him to be a marine.
Your lineage never defined who you are, it was either someone the...
It was foreshadowed, but that doesn't make it not bad. For example, if Oda wanted he can foreshadow zoro getting bored of trying to be WSS and deciding to leave the crew 100 chapters in advance but it would still be incongruent with the early story and be shit for the story going forward...
Because Oda lied about planning out OP from the start. Beautiful and profound moments at the start of the series like roger's speech or shanks passing on the hat just feel so hollow after the joy boy revelation. There's just no way they belong in the same series.
Inherited will is based off tangible impact and impressions that characters have on the actions of others. This is part of why OP used to be the best manga ever written.
Now we are inheriting will by magically eating someones fruit and becoming their reincarnation or some shit. Super realistic man.
Imagine writing 1k chapters about inherited will, chasing your personal dreams, and freedom but then ur MC is a slave to fate and the prophesized reincarnation of an alien god king. Giving Snk a run for its money in terms of jumping the shark.
Robin. Post TS she doesn't have a very strong personality and mostly is there to give exposition dumps. Also her design post TS is shit. Should have stuck to something more similar to pre TS anime design.
The only real reason to claim that yonkeks > chadmirals is thematics. Feats wise chadmirals easily outclass any yonkek besides whitebeard and shanks, who they are about on par with.
If you're up to date with OP its pretty obvious the Oda does not give a fuck about the themes of his own story...
1. Inherited will
A repeated theme of the series is that blood ties do not define whose will we inherit. This is instead defined by impact and connection. Sanji inherits will from zeff instead of judge. Luffy is inspired to adventure by Shanks, not Garp (or Dragon). Sabo takes after dragon, not...
