Story hasn't moved at all. Kuma is in the exact same position as last chapter. We still don't know anything about Kuma's backstory. Bonney doing nothing but saying the same things to Vegapunk "why did you do that to Kuma blah blah". Lucci still not defeated, like why do you need Stussy to defeat him instead of just letting Luffy do it two chapters ago and save yourself multiple pages of content. Stussy was just introduced a few chapters ago and now we are supposed to act shocked that she is a double agent who is a clone from the "rocks pirates". Oda knows all he needs to do to hype up the fanbase is to mention "rocks" and the fanbase will eat it up. I hate Rocks subplot more than I do Oden.
And this whole sci-fi subplot of souls and grams and memories is so lame lmfao. Oda doesn't explain things, as he always keeps everything so vague and yet for him to dive into this sci-fi nonsense only shows how much he has completely lost the plot. Isn't the plot supposed to be finding the One Piece? What does this sci-fi nonsense have anything to do with that. Just creating random vague new ideas to the story doesn't make it good.
