General & Others Most Under appreciated thing about One Piece

This is more of an appreciation questionaire for OP, we all love to nitpick on what is bad and what needs improvement, but im changing the script. What do you think is the most under appreciated aspect of One Piece?

For me it's the artwork in the manga, especially how Wano was drawn, Ringo, Flower Captial ETC

SBS and the easter eggs associated. That you can find Yamato at the execution, or Pandaman, or a connection between characters from a place never seen like the North Blue, references beyond any other creator's well of inspiration, even knowing how Zoro's swords would look if personified or how antagonists would look if gender swapped, favorite foods and birthdays for almost anyone, Rayleigh appearing at the very beginning of the series... it goes on and on.

I will never forget the revelation that Luffy's crude drawing looked exactly like Franky.

The fascinating world building and the geopolitics. I have a lot of respect for those who build a world from the ground up for their stories.

Since the beginning, One Piece world was built to be very large, complex, and carefully made. The geography itself is already interesting and incredibly well constructed. It feels like a genuine world on its own. The series has continued to add layers to the world. Originally we thought it was just a Pirate vs Navy conflict. Then you find out there are secret organizations, revolutionaries, actual islands and countries with their own kind of culture and warriors.

The issues presented in One Piece world politics are also diverse. Most of them even correspond with real world issue, such as racial discrimination, inequality, corrupt government, civil war, underworld smugglers and slavery.
