Controversial Creator's pets in One Piece

[Buusatan94]

A Creator's Pet is a trope used to call characters that the writer(s) have grown too attached to for whatever and favor and put too much focus on at the detriment of other characters and of the story in general.

What are examples of this in One Piece ? What are some characters that Oda loves too much and gives too much focus to ?

Oden. The character shilling and the worship he received, even though he was nowhere near as great as people said he was and an irresponsible moron who did some extremely stupid things and made disastrous decision for his family and people, is frankly nauseating.

 

[Chrono]

Shanks and Oden.

 

[L57]

Goofy

 

[shadowdancer]

Nika

Ace. Oda even managed to bring him back after killing him.

Shanks

and I love my guy Law but there’s some clear favoritism towards him compared to other supernova. I mean Oda has like multiple figurines of Law in his working room. Dude is a fan lol

That's really awesome

Shanks, Law, Rayleigh, Katakuri. The way he meticulously writes their characters, gives them a lot of respect, and how insignificant their “flaws” tend to be

 

[Xione]

Usopp, too many panels wasted on him.

People mentioning characters who don't even have a chapter worth of content for them is crazy.

 

[soupongo]

It's not Shanks, he hasn't got much focus until pretty recently. He had like, 4 appearances pre time skip, and nothing from FMI to WCi

 

[ShinichiMugi]

Wano samurai totally were this,even more than Oden itself. And other "island characters" in general,especially after the timeskip.

Coby
Buggy
Vivi

Oda hates him

Coby
Buggy
Vivi

Coby and vivi?
How?
There's no big panels(side from Rocky port) celebrating how great coby's character is and oda literally wrote vivi out of the story for 15 years cause he didn't want to write more for an original joke villain.

 

[MonsterKaido]

Shanks , luffy , oden etc
