General & Others Make One Piece great again

#27
Get rid of DBF arc, shorten the Dressrosa countdown, the 2nd half of WCI...
Kill Spandam and Pound... Carrot dies instead of Pedro...
Yubashiri gets destroyed during the Zombie Ryuma battle instead of a random rust...
Give Chopper and Robin more badass battles...
Give the SHs outside Luffy and ZSJ 1 Haki each before New World...
Fujitora has cover story...

For me, I would include the "Kaido torturing Oden asking him about Laugh tale" before execution because it was hinted in Zou that this is why Kaido is after them

I would change Revolutionary commanders design/abilities

I would pay less screentime on fodders giving their opinion, their laughs, their stupid comments, their shocked faces and comments cause they are a waste if time and space for panels that can be used for something else

And if Oda wants to explain something THROUGH those fodders, I would rather have the other prominant characters have a dialog inside their head instead explaining things... much better than listening to irrelevant characters

I wish Oda could break off from the post-skip trend of storytelling that is more sales-contingent than passion-driven, to write a story with the aim to universally move an audience instead of oftentimes making writing choices catering only to the popular components.

I wish Oda would stop the clumsy transitions between places as a means of conveniently off-paneling events.

I wish Oda could develop the story by developing existing characters instead of constantly creating new ones, and to lessen the over-focus on short-lived side characters.

I wish Oda could take a step back and reflect upon what actually made audiences fall in love with One Piece during the early days and establish this manga as one of the giants, the heart of his story - the Strawhats and their personal goals of achieving their dreams. That he would reinstate their integrity and place in the story and give them their due attention and weight to drive the storytelling in an impactful manner with their individual strength shining through, and not be relegated to side-characters often helplessly observing the whims of their captain.

Even though it's a shonen story, I wish Oda would realize that his fanbase is getting older, not younger.

many argue that this manga is not all about fight yes but if the fight is under 1 percent then major readers will have a problem especially those who cant understand why epic battles are skipped

The drop of the sales shows that we have long ago warned that now OP has fallen
MHA or OPM have focussed on epic moments while Oda has skipped these possible epic moments for Pound, Rebecca, Pudding, running from point a to b ,from b to c and from c to d while gaining nothing

OP is failing to deliver epic moments for years its just about 1 percent the rest is trash

now in Onigashima we have more epic panels then whole Punk Hazard and Fishman Island together

The new trend is good it should be darker for example Luffy should have a lot of hardship in the prison not that goofy prison if he would have more hard time the emotions and drama would be higher to defeat Kaido then now for example Kid tragedy is heart breaking where he could deliver drama he doesnt do it where he shouldnt do it he is doing it Rebecca

haki was a mistake.

touching logia and sensing intent is ok. anything beyond that is ridiculous.
It was a mistake to make it invisible in MF imo

Oda lost quite an opportunity

Maybe he just wanted the best to come last but I disagree in that case

It looks like that happened offscreen. There was a point where Oden and the scabbards were imprisoned. It would have happened at that point logically speaking.

I'll wait till the end of the arc, its possible Oda revisits this and didn't want to spoil that moment yet about asking about it

Awesome reply. I wish Oda would give a touch of seinen and maturity to the main characters, instead of making them even more of a reckless band of brats. I wish Luffy to be more serious and considerate of the situation, i wish for him to be strategizing in fights and wars using his abilities to the fullest to circumvent the tide of battles. I wish the Strawhat team interaction to be awesome again like Water 7 and Enies Lobby arc. I wish for peaceful moments full of bliss and breathers in the days of the Strawhats.

I wish for the characters to reflect and develop from their past tragedies. I wish for powerful pay-offs for plot and powerlevel elements with a proper build-up instead of retcons here and there. I wish for more real emotion and consequence in war, just like i wish for the victories to be true instead of asspulls, empty hypes and plot armors.
