Bad Pacing - the overall narrative of the story has moved more in the past 50 chapters than in the past 500.

Mediocre Lore Reveals - the devil fruits come from people's dreams, the Gorosei are demons, Nefertaris are D. clan members, Shanks' father is the leader of a team of OP Celestial Dragons, the last ancient weapon, the Ancient Kingdom was futuristic, the Void Century was a great flood and it's happening again

Mediocre characterisation - Kuma, Bonney, Vegapunk, Saturn, Sentomaru, Stussy and yes, Kizaru

Underwhelming antagonists - 5 awakened zoan gorosei trying to steal nuclear weapons to destroy the planet, one of which tortured Kuma and Bonney all their lives

None of this is compelling to you? Imo this arc has been more compelling than the series has been in like 10 years.
100% agreed. The only problem of this arc is the many breaks taken by Oda. But story-wise its great.
 
Oda retconning his story by chapter 154. Impressive lmao
Much sooner than that given Sanji read all about devil fruits but somehow didn't know they make you sink to the bottom of the ocean so there were plot holes, retcons much earlier

Wait, so Oda made this retcon of roger name before introducing Rayleigh and Gaban?
Oda doesn't think ahead, thank you for acknowledging which is why lore is always underwhelming

What you said doesnt make sense

How oda will retcon something that he didnt introduced?
 
you mean that picture or the manga?

That panel is the last page of chapter 34 in which big brother is fighting younger brother to the death using spiritual energy (kind of magic cool shit).

Kagura bachi is driven by vengence kishiro is out there hunting an organisation that killed his father (there is much more but that is the core so far of the story)

Bad pacing =/= slow pacing, the pacing in this arc isn’t slow buts it unbalanced and atrocious.

Mediocre Lore Reveals - the devil fruits come from people's dreams, the Gorosei are demons, Nefertaris are D. clan members, Shanks' father is the leader of a team of OP Celestial Dragons, the last ancient weapon, the Ancient Kingdom was futuristic, the Void Century was a great flood and it's happening again
Half of this was predictable.

Kuma was just misery fetishization, Bonney is pedophile bait, Vegapunk is your average fictional genius that acts like a retard, Saturn has no characterization besides “muh insect,” no one gives a shit about Sentomaru and Stussy, Kizaru’s characterization will be average at best if this is it, etc.

Underwhelming antagonists - 5 awakened zoan gorosei trying to steal nuclear weapons to destroy the planet, one of which tortured Kuma and Bonney all their lives.
And it’s crazy that despite that it’s till underwhelming. Again you’re just listing stuff without execution, instead of saying “5 MYTHICAL DEMONS WOOOOO” why not mention that half the Gorosei look like children’s Disney animals?
 
100% agreed. The only problem of this arc is the many breaks taken by Oda. But story-wise its great.
I have some gripes with quality of the art in a few places, I thought Kizaru round 1 was underwhelming and I didn't like the Kuma flashback skipping over all the RA stuff. But the anime is of such a high quality right now that the first two are going to be a non-issue anyway.

I think once Dragon leaves his desk and we get a full dragon flash back that's when we'll see fully flushed out revolutionary army flashback

I meant the story, thanks.

Only 34 chapters so far? I'll wait some time before giving it a try.
