Finally, readers are realizing that Marineford is when the things started to go wrong in One Piece.
While everybody loved Marineford, I did not. I don't hate it as much as post TS arcs, but MF was something that gave confidence to Oda. Confidence that he can hold back his characters, not make them go all out, offscreen fights, cut off fights for some stupid reasons (Mihawk vs Vista, Garp vs Akainu, making WB sick to the point he could not even fight). And so on.
Back when I was crazy for One Piece and watching Drizzit livestream.
I said Oda has made One Piece like an ever growing tree, there are countless branches and leaves, but fruits are not in equal propotion.
OP has become like a weed in wild, that keeps on growing, while it has some benefits, but it is not as good as a mango tree which gives sweet and delicious fruits once a year.
I don't want to get into this again (One Piece rants). I have been reading OP since 2012 or 2014, dont remember exactly.
I think now I have right to say what I feel about the One Piece story as a whole.
