General & Others Do you miss Strawhats in the old day?

[serkeara]

In the old day, we see crew members joke around, fight with team effort, have some dramas, have their dedicate panels and story.

Now, the crew are so isolated (except Nami & Usopp) and were poorly treated by Oda. Tama, scabbards, Oden, Momo, worst gens, some fodders are more important than them at this point.
The story is just focus on Luffy and new characters no one care about.
Luffy also becomes a religious figure, followed and entrusted by everyone.

I don't feel any bond among this crews. What do you think?

I don't think Nami and Usopp can be considered friends, Oda just uses him to hype her up the same way he used Sanji to hype up villains

Nah. Current strawhats are better. Just look at Luffy, he is now a god, you just gotta be like Luffy, smile and let it go

I'm happy for Fights and Action but in the same breath the crew interaction etc was also the Soul of One Piece. Oda threw that away for vapid fleeting moments and overused and obnoxious gags that don't have a place anymore.

I miss that rookie freshness and first hand interactions being laid out by the author
