The editors' input was essential for his early success and he knows it, he also said years ago that he doesn't like editors telling him what to do, now he is so successful that he can do whatever he wants and fans will still buy it and even if they don't Oda doesn't care because he's already a millionaire and wants this series to end before he dies. Maybe he wants to weed out the bandwagoners until only the true original fans are still around. Perhaps he skipped Zoro's plot in Wano intentionally to get rid of the extreme Zoro fans who are at this point writing their own manga in their heads.
