Controversial What do you think one piece is missing?

A lot things for me. I favour character psychology over world building. It’s mainly missing complexity for me. I like Water 7 because it had a conflict within the crew. The more characters you add, the less you can zoom in on them. I’d like to see less crowded panels, more intimate interactions, more genuine interpersonal drama (which doesn’t have to take away from the light-hearted, adventurous feel). More character-driven conflict. I appreciate Oda’s creativity, but sometimes it doesn’t feel like it brings anything meaningful.

Luffy and the Straw Hats facing the consequences for their actions, and paying the price for their hot-headness, recklessness and stupidity and learning their lesson.

Real conflicts and tensions between the Straw Hats, and with their allies. This is one of the reasons why Water Seven was fresh air and the best arc storywise of One Piece, with there actually being tensions within the Straw Hats with Luffy and Usopp's argument and fight over Merry.
