Current Events 37 chapters covering Egghead island so far

Many of the chapters haven't even been about Egghead's island itself. You have many arcs to complain about pacing, but Egghead isn't one of them; I mean, we're actually seeing things happen instead of a newspaper saying that Kid and Law were defeated or that Garp is missing. Again, what's your complaint?
When people are young, they take their health for granted and sometimes work their bodies beyond their limit. As you get closer to 50 it begins to take its toll, and you can't help but be aware of it. Oda is now aware of the need to maintain his health, he know what we don't - how much plot remains to the end of the story, and even if we've seen him in past taking his time, I'm sure he'll try at least to plan things so he will finish it within his lifetime, hopefully within the lifetime of the main characters' voice actors too.

It wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have an overwhelming amount of breaks tbf.
37 chapters would usually be about 123 months roughly, without the extra unplanned breaks but with Odas usual monthly/every 4 chapters breaks and another month long break this year too. (And thus a years worth of chapters including breaks and a bit more)
But then again it has been 13 months since Egghead started too right? 14 max?
I still laugh at people thinking Egghead would be 10-15 chapters only or had that much early on, even before the traitor reveal I think lol.
I'm sure Egghead will end by late next year but I'm genuinely dreading how long Elbaf is gonna be too. I really cannot deal with another Wano length arc but given the sheer amount of characters, plot lines, mysteries, new locations and whatever else Oda has to wrote, show, resolve, whatever I'm terrified for future arcs now especially with Oda's health issues, the increase in breaks and possibility of yet more month long breaks if he's gonna be just as involved with Season 2 of the live action and even more seasons of they happen too.
I do feel the LA shouldn't have happened until after OP was done but Oda said this was his last chance to show OP to the world, to give it true global saturation I mean fame, especially with his "remaining lifespan" as he said too.
Given the LA has been worked on for 6-7 years at least (he even rejected Disneys proposal to do one ages ago apparently, Strawhats of the Caribbean anyone?), I can understand his sentiments too.
Oda needs to stop introducing so many new mysteries, plotlines, distractions, stalling, characters, plot twists (especially traitor stuff now although @Mr. Reloaded loves it ofc) and just streamline the story to the end, prioritise what matters but he keeps adding so many new things that could gave been saved for a sequel series instead of something imo.
Some things are being brutally neglected by Oda and it's very frustrating or in the case of Wano and Vegapunk, things we waited such an extremely long time for, were massively overhyped and an extreme letdown and betrayal (dammit again Mr Reloaded!, just utterly disappointing and inconclusive too.
If Egghead turns into another Dressrosa at least too, I'll scream and seethe too genuinely lol.
I can't believe how Pluton still hasn't been revealed, we've yet to still see Logia awakenings, Oda wasted so many plot lines at Wano but dropped some insane, game changing, unexpected twists at Wano when it was fucking over and just moved on without caring or elaborating (like that knew dumbass gigachad meme), we've still not had a dedicated arc for Shanks and Blackbeard, Weevil got offscreened by Green Bull after all that, Mihawk is now chilling in a circus with Buggy and Crocodile, we dont know who Shanks "snitched on" yet, Urouge has vanished into the abyss, Uranus and the egg on Rogers ship are still complete mysteries, Dragon is still inert and so on.
Also Smoker and Fujitora have legit just vanished for many years now too lol. Oda did Tashigi fans and Bogard hypers so dirty at Hachinosu/Fullalead/Beehive/Whatever too lol.
It's sad that the best parts of Egghead, like Wano are outside of the arc/island/main storyline itself too.
