General & Others 5 Non-Strawhat Flashbacks, Which ones the best?

[Roronoa-sama]

Noland

Law’s FB felt the most personal so it’s easily him imo
Noland was good but it felt like reading a fairy tale or something. I had to look it up to refresh my memory
Senor Pink was short and effective, incredible way to make a character memorable
Tiger’s FB was also good, Oden’s FB is alright. People are too critical of it, but it’s understandable since he was forced into a lot of the legends’ story. Like why did Oden have to be that important kind of shit, I can see why people would hate him. I think he wouldn’t get that much backlash if his story didn’t involve Roger/WB.

Or if he didn’t get so much praise despite making some of the dumbest decisions of any flashback character while also neglecting those he should’ve protected.

I believe part of the reason it didn’t work well for many is because the conflict feels so forced because it could have been easily solved at multiple points. Most other flashbacks don’t have such a caveat.
