General & Others One Piece Lore Is As Unoriginal As It Gets

It is, the idea was created 20 years ago...and people will probably not enjoy it as much as it was thought to be in the start... Though I think it's because of the formula oda is using with his storytelling instead. Even if it's basic, with good storytelling it could be made interesting(Take KnY, Ousama Ranking), by giving priority to the main plot more than immediate arcs. For me the main issue is that oda spends too much time on the arcs...when they are not at all important...like spending time on characters/plot who/which don't matter or lead to much. And the main one-piece plot is just shown as a one-liner mystery... Just used for hyping...and I know this hype won't hold up in the end. Skypeia was actually a good arc, it had good arc-related progress but also progressed the main one-piece plot too giving good info and lore for readers to think about.
It is definitely unoriginal. Dozens of stories have already told what Oda did and all Oda does is rip them off. Wano and Skypeia backstory were basically a copy and paste of "Plato's, Atlantis".
"Esteban, Child of the Sun" is also a similar story of One Piece. WCI theme was basically "Alice in Wonderland". Ancient weapons are based off Greek mythology stories. Imu spelled backwords in Mu which is another term to refer to Plato's Atlantis. Many examples like this.
People use the excuse "Oda uses those for inspiration and adds them to his story" which is fine if he only uses a few but your entire story can't be constantly looking for other stories for "inspiration". There is a fine line between "inspiration" and "ripping off".

Treasure in the Bible can refer to material goods or possessions12, or to the spiritual riches of the kingdom of heaven and knowing Jesus Christ34. Several verses in the Bible teach that where one's treasure is, there one's heart will be also, and that one should sell what one has and give to the poor to have treasure in heaven35. The Bible also invites one to start a treasure hunt into its pages to find wisdom, promises, joy, peace, and fellowship with God4.
