General & Others Best and worst One Piece arcs in your opinion?

[The Shaman King]

Best: Probably Dressesrosa simply because Doflamingo was a great villain which helped make the arc fun to read

Worst:Fishman Island the arc minus the fisher tiger flashback felt like Oda was trying to write Aquaman

 

[Kung-Fu Dugong]

Best: Water 7. It's the peak of One Piece story-wise IMO. The strawhats face their first major crisis with the departure of 2 crewmembers, then we have THE greatest villain reveal of the series (CP9). The follow-up (Enies Lobby) also had great story moments and probably the most intense battles of OP.

Worst: Wano. An incredible mess from start to end. Almost everything was disappointing: the main villain (just another mindless bully), the flashback (Oden's idiotic story), the side characters, the Nika retcon. It's an irrefutable proof that Oda simply can't write about large-scale conflicts.

 

[Luffy is the mc]

Best: Skypiea or W7/Enies Lobby
Worst: Egghead

 

[MonsterKaido]

Best - Ennies lobby/Marineford
Worst - Fishmen island by far.

Until Marco showed up, I thought it was on track to be the best. Unfortunately there were so many bad things that retroactively damaged even some of the good work. Like the raid suit nonsense later made its initial use and the foreshadowing involved look worse. Watching that Raizo fight go down like shit, idk if I love that legendary moment in Zou as much now

 

[Longleg Larry]

Long Ring Long Land

 

[Dettles]

Best Water Seven
Worst Dressrosa it was just too long and messy it was the first arc that showed the issues that continued into WCI and Wano.

 

[Logiko]

 

[Kung-Fu Dugong]

I like to see every arc as a standalone part of the story, I don't think it's fair to downgrade them due to future events/retcons. Saul being alive, for example, had potential to make Robin's EL flashback lesser to some extent for me, but I like to remember how it was when I first read it. The Nika retcon also makes Luffy's past fights (the moments he shows his resolve) lesser, including the Rob Lucci's fight, due to the zoan's regen ability (which is even more broken with the Nika's DF), but I still see them as 'true grit' demonstrations.

Zou is still a great arc for me. Btw, the post-skip short arcs are all pretty good.

 

[JackieDaytona3019]

Best: Water 7 & Enies Lobby
I don’t think this needs explanation.

Worst: Long Ring Long Land(Davy Back) Arc
I know the information about the Dave back fights are probably important, but this feels like an anime filler arc.
