Questions & Mysteries Is one piece at its peak currently? and when where the other peaks?

#1
With wano anime coming to an end. even if most fans in worstgen don't like it, surprisingly regular fans seem to enjoy it and the current manga has had multiple back-to-back chapter for 6 months straight that most fans loved. And recently one piece had a successful live action (the first ever successful LA series). Do you think one piece is at its peak? and when where the other times you think one piece was at it peak

Yup. Currently we are living in the golden age of One Piece.
I never felt like BM and Kaido were "filler" (i absolutely love Doffy and Katakuri as villains too), but it always did feel like they were all means to a very LONG end.

Outside of Doflamingo, the others were not introduced preTS. And it always felt like, at least in preTS that were were supposed to deal with Admirals, Blackbeard, Shanks and the WG. But then we went on a very long (and imo enjoyable) tangent for 10 years.

We are only "now" continuing what Marineford set up (literally every character that was there is now the focus of the final arcs), which is nuts

Wano was trash worst arc to date i don't think anything can beat it.
No, Wano was excellent.
I'd say that this golden started with Zou, and slowly builded up with Whole cake and the beginning of Wano. We had four high points that really shook up the fanbase, 956, 1044, 1079 and the last two week with the live action. I think we will have more and this golden age is not only not finished but not even close to be at its peak.

First peak was Alabasta. Next was Water 7/Ennies Lobby, then the overall peak is Marineford.

Unfortunately, there haven’t been any since then, although some came close like Reverie. Egghead is another example, but it may just be because we’re coming out of one of the poorer arcs in Wano.

Wano would’ve been peak if it wasn’t unnecessarily long, egg head is much better. I think next peak will be the final war

In regards to the pacing, I do hope the second half of the anime gets reanimated one day but shorter

Nope. The peaks are long behind One Piss beside the amount of hype it gets every chapter regardless of quality. The highest peak Postskip was during Dressrosa, and Zou isolated from context of the rest of the story since it's naturally an arc that hinged on the quality of Wano, which left more to be desired to say the least.

It would be interesting to see the overall money gain considering also other material like gadgets and of course what he get from the live action and confront it with peak manga moments like Enies libby or Marineford. The manga after Wano had some good moments, also variety jumping from Shanks vs Kidd, BB vs Law and BB pirates vs Garp but of course Marineford and Enies lobby are still way better than this (even because these are small bursts compared to arcs). Yet if the LA really is popular and managed to get to new audience then great, it can be another small golden age of OP.

I am not talking about story wise. I am talking about how people view one piece as a whole. manga, anime, etc.

Storytelling wise: Yes
World Development/building wise: Yes
Fighting wise: Yes, Kaido vs Luffy clears any other fight.
Character Design wise: Debatable dependent on the characters
Main crew development wise: No, since they're all essentially developed outside of few remain things.
In terms of sales: No
In terms of popularity: Yes
In terms of overall money making: Yes

Anybody trying to convince or state that the MF arc is peak One Piece, despite being the most PIS arc in the manga, is just living off of nostalgia and just not liking the events not going down as they had hoped post-TS, imo.
