Controversial Other than a characters strength what about one piece do you think is most overrated

The first that comes to mind for me is

Marineford, now I personally never liked big war arcs in the first place, the entire arc was just a flex off a way to show off skills and powers, but I like my arcs to have suspense, and build up before getting to the big fight, now many people would say the arcs previous to Marineford was the build up arcs but that to me just says Marineford can't stand on its own

Another aspect I think is a bit overrated logia fruits, now don't get me wrong logia fruits are cool as fuck but are they really the strongest fruit type? When there's paramecia out there that are beyond broken

Bonney, Kuma, sugars, whitebeard, big moms, Laws etc etc all of those fruit are way stronger and more dangerous than logia fruits and don't even get me started on Mythical Zoan's Marco's Luffys, Kaido's, Orochi's all of the Mythical zoan fruits seem way stronger, more versatile and much more difficult to deal with

Oda has never been very good with wars as a whole, even Marineford has lots of issues with it feeling like most of the most powerful characters such as the admirals, Whitebeard, Sengoku, Mihawk being nerfed or held back, us not seeing real tactics or teamwork from either side, just multiple one vs one fights, and the warlords not doing much and even being more of a thorn in the marines' side with Jinbei, Blackbeard and Boa Hancock's open betrayals (it's total bs that Hancock was kept as a warlord and didn't suffer any retribution for her actions).

Also save for the Straw Hats occasionally, and Enraged Army against Luffy, there is a real lack of teamwork in the manga.

Logias are the strongest because on average they tend to be better than the paramecias. Fruits like Law’s, Kuma’s and Luffy’s are the exception to the rule

also most pirates do not have haki. Like imagine you’re in bumfuck west blue and you run into Pika Pika no mi. You’re pretty much negging the entire sea

Devil fruits are scaled around the probability of you actually getting a strong ability. Devil fruits also have pretty much endless possibilities, just because we haven't seen certain fruits yet it doesn't mean they don't exist in universe, like for example a Cat Cat: Model Black Panther Fruit.
Since Paramecia fruits can give you literally ANYTHING, you could get either something really shitty or something really broken.
Zoans are better, because they all give you a physical boost, however you can still get any kind of animal, and apparently that includes sea life as well...imagine getting a Whale Whale or Fish Fish fruit...
Logia are by far the best ones since they all make you intangible (Except the Darkness fruit ig) and on average most of them are way more than decent.
So, what would you prefer, getting the Smoke Smoke fruit or eating a paramecia fruit that could grant you virtually ANYTHING, ranging from making your cum taste like oreos, or just maybe also grant you some reality bending power.

I will say something underrated, the style, both one puece and dragon ball styles are extremely unique, you can tell them apart very easily from other series,

100% a Paramecia

World building.

There exists no world building or plot until straw hats arrive.

Everything is too static, like they're frozen in time. Nothing moves until luffy moves.
Are you reading the same manga? The opposite is the case, everything moves in the background but we only get to know about it once the SHs do

Swordsmanship.

It is under explored and overrated. I fell there was a lot of missed opportunity in Wano for Zoro. There could have been a strong swordsman there for him to fight. There should have been some mention of Mihawk as well.

I feel like Zoros goal of being the WSM isn’t as relevant as it could be because he’s never fought anyone else who seems to be gunning for the title. Ryuma was the closest thing we’ve seen and that was a shadow of the previous greatest.

Merch 😅

On a serious note, its length right now plays against it's favour. What's good in being one of the world's longest running series if every arc ends up in readers having the arc fatigue? If I were offered to start reading OP now, I probably wouldn't have started it, seeing that 'it's over 1k chapters and ongoing'. So for all those "yay we celebrate 25th, 30th, 50th, whateverth anniversary of OP, I'd rather have a more concise and streamlined story.
