Having to boil down any lapse in logic down to plot. Yes, I get certain characters can't die or that Oda wants characters in a certain location, but it's the author's job to make it believable. And I feel One Piece fails at believably getting our characters out of a jam or putting them in place for a plotpoint. It's a lot worse post timeskip, when Oda insist on making things harder for the protagonists, yet none of them suffer any real repercussions, or their escapes are far too convenient at times.

The most egregious example of plot convenience would be the Birdcage, which was just an excuse to prevent any of the other able bodied combatants from helping Luffy against Doflamingo, so that the fight could be more dramatic. Or how recently in Wano, Oda has characters teleport all over the map at inconsistent intervals just to set them in place for the next plot point. It's artificial and lazy story telling.

movies ... all of them are stupid ... Z was fine tbh

- villains are beaten too easy
- only Luffy shine and no other man
- the plot of almost all movies are the same
- there is so few canon info from them
- side characters are useless


they can make an story about

- Rocks War
- Shanks and Mihawk duels
- Young Admirals
- Young Garp and Sengoku
- Young Roger
- Golden Era fights
- Ryuma backstory

but no ... fuck all of this great canon stories that can do exist without hurting manga .... since Luffy is not in it ... it shouldn't be made
problem is ... THEY CAN MAKE A STORY ABOUT THIS AND STILL USE STRAW HATS AS MAIN CHARACTERS
they just need a better storytelling and plot ...

it that too much to ask for?

Portryal of Woman in one piece.

I wish oda stops treating woman as a tool for pubert teemager godamn it there are female reader and adults who will find it distasteful personally fan echiness should stop at some point. Make your female character badass.

while I agree ...

Oda made Big Mom a strong women who is not hot

sure he play with her a lot ... but a not good looking badass woman is something west rarely used and never this good as far as I know

he made Big Mom a strong female character without people point their finger and call that out ...

doing such thing cause of doing it and not agenda is an achievement

What are some stupid things in One Piece according to you?
It can be actions, decisions, aspects or anything related to a character, story line in One piece.

For ex - I think decision of Whitebeard going on an all out war against Marines was somehow stupid. It was very certain that they would lose few of their major crewmates still he went ahead. Yes, Ace life was important but saving him was almost impossible without heavy casualties.
We didn't see admirals, Garp, Sengoku, Mihawk etc. going all out. If they got serious they could have done something much worse.

Share your thoughts :)​
For one the fact that Zoro seems to be the only person in one piece that wants to be the worlds strongest swordsman. We literally don’t have anyone else in the story even mention this. Yet we have people left and right declaring they wanting to be pirate king.

Perfect post, I couldn't have said it any better.

It's basically what I've been trying to say the whole time, when I said that Oda's storywriting is fine for a shonen, but simply not even close to the level of Togashi & Co.

The fact that Doflamingo was able of escaping Marie-Geoise Alice and of blackmailling the Celestial Dragons despite all the guards in Marie-Geoise and the CP0 at their disposal.

The fact that Homing & the Donquixote family were allowed to leave at all with knowledge of a secret that Doflamingo could eventually blackmail them with is worse. Even if you won't kill them, at least lock them up in Mariejois.

Prometheus not being here to intercept King or to prevent BM from falling during the waterfall scene and Napoleon not saying and doing anything during BM's amnesia.
