If we have to be fair, it's also because o the Nature of one piece.
They go to a island defeat a guy and go to another.
There's not a overarching villain that is a issue constantly for the strawhat through long arcs.
Aizen, Madara, DIO, Cell, Frieza.
These characters have long build up...
Maybe because the villains are more fallible?
When people mention Madara, Aizen, Cell, Frieza it's because they extremely composed, and quite frankly absurd. Right until their defeat
1) i have ths plan and this backup up plans and everything you did was my plan
Or
2) you thought you defeated...
Elbalf will be another ancient kingdom lore.
I don't see any other use for it, BB ain't going there, Shanks too, Buggy wouldn't go for OP in conventional way.
What is there left for Luffy to get than more lore?
I will not buy stock of the sneak merchant, he remains throughly unworthy of being a extreme fight for Zoro.
At best he will be a train for Zoro to get a new epower and defeat him
Doflamingo and Law interestingly enough, Boa Hancock also don't but she and Mihawk aren't really pirates, its just that the story has to call them that,
Weevil I guess too.
Way wayyyyy over stretched than it needed to be, if you cut the trash fillers it's a good arc.
The side plots carry it though.
The eternal VG speech and Gorosei back and forth is absolutely trash to read weekly.
I suppose that reading it in one go make the arc better
I don't think any author can deal with 10 characters shining every arc, the best I seen is Jojo sticking with a band of characters rotating the spotlight.
However Oda uses Luffy to solve everything too much, theres no variety like JOjo for others too shine.
A enemy appears? Luffy can handle it...
The ideal narrative outcome would be for the CG and the red hair to fuse, but Oda ain't doing that after trading buggy for so long.
I don't know Mihawk, but buggy is going to laugh tale and it's obvious
Love to see Kuzan there, lot of people wouldn't dare to put him that high, but my man has his goals
BB is not the end of his character, and Oda shows it
One way or another WG has to fall, I just don't see how BB can do it without the weapons which he need One Piece which he narratively can't get from Luffy.
But I will give in somewhat, Devon got Saturn appearance for something very very important.
WB told us that BB is not the person Roger is waiting, I stand firm that he is no getting past Laugh tale.
The WG had 500 years to get the one piece, come on.
