If you're not enjoying it sometimes it's better to drop it and move on. I've done just that more times that I can count. But to become a notorious forum user whose sole mission is to shit on a manga you don't even like it's just sad. You won't see me on a MHA forum shitting on it nonstop even though I think it's hot garbage. Criticism is all fine and dandy, but when you become someone who hates a manga unconditionally then I don't even see the point for you to even keep reading it. Unless you're just someone who gets off on hating and riling people up on a manga forum. That's when it just becomes sad.

Lee seems to stuck on this point for the past two years which shocking to mee because of how plainly retarded it is the only similarities these 3 have with each other lost civilizations which vanished.
Here is a list of lost cities from mythology are all these authors copying each other despite living centuries and thousand miles away from each other.

- Agartha, in the Hollow Earth.
- Atlantis, Plato's utopian paradise.
- Avalon, the mythical lost land or island in Arthurian, Cornish and Welsh legend.
- Buyan, an island with the ability to appear and disappear in Slavic mythology.
- Cantre'r Gwaelod, in Welsh legend, the ancient sunken realm said to have occupied a tract of fertile land lying between Ramsey Island and Bardsey Island in what is now Cardigan Bay to the west of Wales.
- Iram of the Pillars, a reference to a lost city, country or area mentioned in the Qur'an.
- Jomsborg and Vineta, legendary cities on the south coast of the Baltic Sea supposed to have been submerged in the Middle Ages.
- Kitezh, a legendary underwater city located in Russia, populated by spiritual people.
- Kumari Kandam, a mythical lost continent with an ancient Tamil civilization in the Indian Ocean
- Lemuria, a mythical lost continent in the Indian or the Pacific Ocean.
- Llys Helig Welsh legends regarding the local rock formations conceal the palace of Prince Helig ap Glanawg, said to be part of a larger drowned kingdom near Penmaenmawr, Wales.
- Lyonesse in Arthurian literature: it was the home of Tristan and is usually associated with the Isles of Scilly, Cornwall (an area inundated by the sea c.2500BC)[citation needed]. The tale parallels the Welsh and particularly Breton legendary lost lands.[citation needed]
- Mu, a mythical lost continent in the Pacific Ocean

- El Dorado, mythic city of gold.

Taking inspirations and aesthetics from cultures and stories around the globe and sprinkling them throughout a story isn't plagiarism or ripping off.
If you can find me some story that goes "There once was a cerebrally challenged teenager that wanted to become the King of the Criminals. To do this he had to fight 7 Battlelords, 4 Monarchs, a false diety, 3 High Law Enforcers, the Supreme Law Enforcer and the super secret Master of the World plus his 5 Lord Judges" then you might have a point.
Even then though, as long as Oda has reimagined it enough to be fairly different then it still passes. Case in point, Seven Samurai getting reimagined into a western called The Magnificent Seven. Nobody is mad at that film being a genre change for a Japanese story.
Going on about stuff like Oda taking some mythological Finnish wind knot and putting that into a big arse story seems pretty silly. By this logic, are all fantasy writers that have a race of short, stout, blacksmithing humanoids obligated to pay royalties to Scandinavian countries for cultural appropriation of ancient mythologies? Lol.

It isn't about only taking a single idea. It is the fact, that he continues to take multiple ideas. Every arc, he needs to google other peoples work and add it into his. Almost everything relevant in One Piece was a work of someone else that he took from. Joy Boy was taken from Carribean story. G5 is Tom and Jerry. Wano ending was Plato's Atlantis. All these are major plot points of One Piece, where all of them were ideas that he took. At some point, your ideas can't continue to be from other's work.
No one praises the authors of The Magnificent Seven to be the greatest of all time so that example doesn't fit here. No one even knows who The Magnificent Seven writers were.
