Also, no guys. There is no "poor writing" right now. Oda is still doing amazingly (he just ended one of his best flashback EVER). So....
Chill and enjoy the story, the only reason you are not right now, is not because of poor storytelling descision, but because you are letting your expectation get the best of you guys.
And if you are not enjoying anything at all anymore, take a break.
