So obviously this is very forced, because there was 0 stakes in this arc
Even though 5 gorosei and an admiral were involved
So Oda had to kill off a nobody character, since the strawhats are invincible
I don't primarily read this manga for the story, so I don't care to criticize it
The people reading for the story will probably either lap this up, and cry literal tears over Atlas
Or continually trash the story, but they should have got the idea of what they're reading by now
Either way I'll just enjoy reading for the agenda
