In addendum:
Why the fuck would Shanks just take a random fruit that gives you Rubber powers from "pirates"?
That makes no sense. It also doesn't make sense that the pirates he randomly decided to pillage would just happen to have a fucking rubber fruit of all things too.
It was clearly special from the beginning, we just couldn't see it until now.
They used to sell DFs if found... Buggys was to be sold too, a lot of them do that. And shanks stole it from CP... This info was also given in wano only just before revealing the nika stuff. And if it was something already planned there would be atleast one hint or some doubt ehi h author would have raised earlier in the story somewhere... And odas words itself from SBS.... He liked that luffy has a simple DF like rubber and likes to think of ways to use it to defeat other stronger fruits.

Least Pirates(everyone).
Not making use of Big Mom at all.
No proper focus on the story telling/characters, for example take tama.. She felt like she would be someone who will be give much higher importance in the arc, but focus kept switching and many characters were just introduced as important and then ditched.
