General & Others Straw Hat centric arc vs the Alliance arc

[Lightbolt]

Examples of Straw hat centric arc : Alabasta‚ Skypeia‚ Enies Lobby‚ Thriller Bark and Fishman Island

Examples of the alliance arc ( where it is not just the straw hats there to face the enemy‚ even if not all of them ) : Sabaody‚ Impel Down‚ Marineford‚ Punk Hazard‚ Dresserosa‚ WCI and Wano

It is obvious there would be more and better world building in the alliance arc‚ and not making it as if the straw hats are the only people that exist who can overcome these difficulties.

The non alliance arc is better at developing the strawhats individually and focusing on them interacting with each other or showing their inner arguments or powerups like Enies Lobby.

By this point of the story‚ would you agree for a Straw hat Centric arc still ? As in breaking the alliance with Law after Wano with no other alliance member showing. Just the Straw Hat having an entire arc for themselves Thriller Bark style or is it too late in the story for that ?

Sorry man but I’m pretty sure Law ain’t going anywhere lol

I would say Skypiea is an alliance arc of sorts based on the amount of story moved by the others

Elbaf will presumably be one of the latest SHs centric arcs the manga will feature I guess.

The thing is not about Strawhat centric arc or not. The thing is about characters we care about or not.

What are the fights we like in One Piece that are not from Strawhats?
The ones I remember are:

Ace x Teach
WB x Akainu
Law x Smoker
Smoker x Vergo
Law x Vergo
Law x Doffy + Fujitora
Sabo x Burgess
Sabo x Fujitora
Oden x Kaido

I tried to put the "good" guys in each fight on the left (<<) so we can easily see how important those people are to One Piece lore as a whole. Luffy's brothers, WSM, Luffy's Marine Rival, Greatest Samurai we ever seen alive.

Dressrosa was not good to give Grand Fleet enough charisma. Not even
Bartolomeu fight was good since the guy went from OP to a joke because of his sick love towards Luffy and Strawhats. That guy who sleeps and becoming a serial killer but was easily stopped by Robin... There is nothing exciting about those captains of Grand Fleet. I could say Sai is somewhat interesting, overcoming Don Chinjao was pretty impressive to me and getting Baby Five as his wife too(betrayal actually haha).
