Yeah, he enjoys longtime form story telling. What's the problem? He also explained why he thinks Wano is gonna be so long and it makes perfect sense.
He said that in the East Blue we didn't have sagas, just arcs. Every arc was focused on a villain and had a "villain of the week" type of feel. There wasn't any built up story over the East Blue "saga.
Then the story got bigger after getting into the Grandline and Oda changed structures. He went from having one-off arcs, to start creating sagas, building up stories over a few arcs to form one single story. The Alabasta Saga being the first one. And he even explains how most people comparing the arcs from the start of the Grandline to the arcs in the East Blue could think the arcs were weaker, just because they didn't have the same build up as the one-off arcs from the East Blue, since those stories could be built and dealt with entirely. Until Alabasta started and finished, many people could say the arcs from the start of the Grandline felt worse than East Blue, but they needed to see the end of the saga to understand it complete. He also points to how much bigger Alabasta as a whole became, compared to the early One Piece arcs. The same happens to all other sagas in the rest of the Pre-TS.
Then we get into the Post-TS and Morj argues that Oda is doing a new structure now, an even bigger one, saying it's a "super saga". Where Oda uses many sagas (composed of many arcs) to tell one story. Because of that, Wano would also be even bigger than the sagas we are used to, because that's what happened when Oda changed from simple arcs to sagas.
This makes 100% a lot of sense. Since it feels like the entire Post-TS has been a slow build up of 3 sagas, to create this massive saga about the Yonko and taking them down here.
