The
One Piece decline is real.
There are parts of this arc I am enjoying but I can understand why people feel underwhelmed or and fed up too.
Oda cutting away from Law vs BB hasn't helped at all, another Sabo "death" and Imu nuking an island out of existence without explanation and just carrying on the story like it never happened ironically, I mean aren't the Revs worried about what happened to Sabo atm? Why communications have cut off suddenly and what he was saying about the not so empty throne and Imu?
Also splitting up and sidelining the SHs hasn't helped either plus adding more characters, that feel mostly pointless yet again too honestly.
I'm just dreading on how Oda is gonna handle this group of CP0 and if he's gonna clown these certain 2 well loved characters like many others he has done lately now too.
I love Egghead's design/theme and thus the concept of it. The clones are a great concept too but Oda isn't doing much with them so far and with main/original Vegapunk now in the picture, they feel even less relevant/important. Would have loved to see more of their individual personalities and how they embody their different associated aspects but I might be asking for too much I guess? Lilith really makes me curious especially with her "Evil" designation too. Plus being named Lilith specifically of all things.
I wish Oda would actually get on with explaining DFs too already, I'm so desperate to know, especially with the renowed DF expert/experimenter himself in the show now FINALLY!:
This was after Thriller Bark I think too?^ Maybe 14 years or something?
