Its not cheap at all. Its a massive glow up from the previously stilted Oda specific designs. Like, the jump in quality from JJK season 1 which was solid, to season 2, which blew the first season out of the park aesthetically. And I think it more than carries the spirit of Oda's designs while being infinitely more fun and bubbly, which is a skill Oda has lost with his art as the series has gone on. And you can say that Oda's shift in art reflects the seriousness of the story, but considering how goofy Oda gets with character designs, I don't think his shift away from a more bubbly and fun art style was necessarily intentional.
I'd disagree considering that shift happened pre ts. There are still wacky looking characters being introduced into every arc so I'm not really seeing your point either way. Basically after skypiea the story's art got a little more serious. Especially the designs. At least imo.
Here's my issue. You haven't explained why it's better. Youre only saying that it is better than the previous manga accurate designs that we've come to love. Even tho that's the source material. The very thing that created the fans.
Another issue I have is you trying to say odas own choices in his manga aren't intentional with absolutely nothing to back it up. Just your own bs that you're pulling out of thin air.
How do you know all this? How does this bs equate to the new art being better?

The character designs always remained silly. There was a never a point where Oda's character designs became serious or anything. Thats not to say there were not characters who were serious looking, but thats always been the case. Oda as an artist just became more angular and his linework a bit rougher, and I think you could very much put it down to both him evolving his style as an artist, but also the schedule forcing that evolution as he got older. Its not a secret that Oda jams a lot of stuff into chapters among the fact that Oda has shown that he is a naturally more sketchy artist(it probably works easier for the work flow to have a more sketchy final product as well).
There are a few reasons why its better. The art style optimises line work, allowing the characters to be more animated and visually interesting. More detailed designs with greater shading or linework can look fine but they are more difficult to animate in motion. For a series like One Piece where a massive appeal of the characters is their massive personalities and exaggerated expressions, having the ability to more easily animate the characters works wonderfully in capturing the type of human and characterization that is necessary to make the characters look fun on screen. Character acting animation is something that I think One Piece would definitely benefit from and the new sleaker character designs seem set to making character acting animation more attractive.
And it also helps when it comes to other types of things like action scenes.
I think I am making pretty reasonable assumptions about some things here in terms of how Oda has evolved as an artist. His current art style is probably not necessarily intentional as much as it is "how his art has evolved given the circumstances he is in".
Again, this is somewhat opinion, but I think I've backed up what I've said with the reasoning stated above.
