Can we all accept how bad written arabasta arc was?
Seriously, crocodile's charismatic personality carried it, without him, it would easily be the worst arc ever. Here are some examples of how bad written it was:
1) luffy was saved by his own waterbullet. I mean come on!
2) suna suna no mi's blood weakness. So according to this, every single being in the world(except brook) can counter crocodile with their blood. Well thats a huge weakness.
3) Pell and Chaka the two greatest warriors couldnt use basic haki.
4) nami defeating miss double finger didnt make any sense at all considering how weak she was back then.
5) crocodile decides for no reason to not use his suna powers in the third battle and attacked luffy head to head although he is obviously a range fighter.
6) Pell's infamous fake death.
7) Even oda himself stated that he introduced crocodile too early in the story.
8) Since vivi is the princess of arabasta and a public face how come no one in baroque works didnt notice who she was? And if crocodile actually knew who she was, why did he wait so long to order her execution?
