1) Chapter 1000, as a Luffy fan this was too good to be true an absolute love letter to this character and his fans.
2) Chapter 1031, simply the best Sanji chapter in the series and dare i say one of the best chapters overall, cementing Sanji as a top3 characters in the story easily.
3) Chapter 1010, similar to chapter 1000 this was just too perfect if you're a Luffy fan but a Zoro fan as well, the reveal coating was great, and Zoro scarring Kaidou is on probably the most hype Zoro moment oat.
4) Chapter 1021, this was for every Robin fan that believed for the entirety of post timeskip, i was saying that Robin's time was coming, and boy in general what an arc has been for her, this is her best fight which may not mean much but it is confortably top 1 1vs1 fight in Onigashima still along with Sanji vs Queen and Zoro vs King and overall top 10 best fights in One Piece, also the peak of her progression as a character with her willing to become a demon to protect her crew, and Demonio Fleur is top 2 best forms in the series second only to Gear 4th.
5) Chapter 1033, simply put the best Zoro chapter in the series since Nothing Happened, i loved his little flashback snd how it recontextulizes a couple of things from Zoro's past, like who made the two swords Mihawk broke after he defeated Zoro, it gives us more insight on the philosophy of a swordsman, and Zoro's dialogue at the end is peak fiction.
6) Chapter 1035, an amazing conclusion to Sanji's character arc from WCI saving the rats he couldn't from Germa simbolizing that his kindness was his strenght all along and that Judge was just too short sighted, and as for the rest an amazing conclusion to the Zoro vs King fight, probably the best coreographed fight so far in the raid, the final attack is probably one the dopest in the series, and King's backstory was very intresting and gives me more hype and curiousity to know about Kaidou and about the lunarians.
7) Chapter 1020; along the lines of Chapter 1021, so i won't say much more other than i fucking love Robin sooo much.
8) Chapter 1034, the best Sanji fight in the series easily and one of the best fights overall, and him having to overcome metaphorically Germa in Queen was great, and like Zoro's attack Beef Burst is dope af.
9)Chapter 1001, it's Roof Piece idk what else to say other than that, one of the most legendary stretches os chapters in the series, and the fact that there aren't more chapters of roof piece in this top 10 and this one is this low speaks volumes on how good this year of One Piece was.
10) Chapter 1009, one of the best years for Zoro that is all i got to say about that, the team work between Supernovas was amazing too.
Honorable mentions, every other Roof piece chapter not on the list, Chapter 1022, Chapter 1023, Chapter 1005, Chapter 1007, Chapter 1008, Chapter chapter 1015 (yes even though Kin is alive), chapter 1029, 1017 and 1018. Qe were blessed this year as One Piece fans that is all i got to say.
thats fake hype and offscreened battle really left bad impression to me
