Looks like one of those clickbait thumbnails of Luffy betraying Ace lol

Specifically a video from Ohara about the Straw Hats being evil it seems
:kobeha:
The funniest part is that Ace would probably never get caught lacking like this because we literally see him train his Observation Haki in his 100 duels with Whitebeard for stuff like this
 
Ngl Toriyama and Mirua had me concerned for Oda, and this isn't helping :
One PIece might have been over by now and Oda would be able to chill if he didn't have this habit of introducing and focusing on 150 irrelevant side characters every arc.
I will stand my ground that Dressrosa had no business being 100 chapters long when it was just another arc of Luffy beating a warlord and we never needed to have NINE scabbards.
It's really telling when you compare Dressrosa, Wano and WCI to past arcs. It's like if Thriller Bark had instead focused mostly on Lola and each of her most notable individual crewmates fighting Moria's forces rather than the Straw Hats themselves, with Oars being beaten by Luffy and Lola's crew rather than the straw hats who are instead too busy fighting random zombie fodder.

I think Oda may be growing tired of the straw hats sadly. He hasn't even done any Straw Hat theaters or omakes of them in ages.
Furthermore, all these new shitload of characters that Oda keeps shoving into the story may be his way of introducing characters from all the cancelled manga projects he wanted to do but couldn't because he dedicated too much time on One Piece. The Vegapunk satellites in particular feel like they might've been characters from the giant robot manga he never got a chance to make, and Oden and his story feel like something that could've been from a completely unrelated manga if not for the Whitebeard and Roger affiliation.

Its kinda sad really, especially when Sabaody and maybe that brief trip between Zou and WCI feel like the last time the straw hats acted like an actual family unit rather than flanderized depictions of themselves like we got post-Wano as an example.

Been thinking this for ages
