Questions & Mysteries What was the most pointless plot point in One Piede
- Thread starter Donquixote Shivercalero
- Start date
the thing i hate about this is that oda always makes it so someone else does it because the other character needs to be taught a lesson to not just attack people due to wanting revenge for someone, but the motive is always revenge no matter what
for example, carrot couldn't defeat perospero because "it's bad to just attack blindly based off revenge" but nekomamushi could defeat him for the exact same fucking reason that carrot wanted to kill him?
same for jack too. these fights were clearly framed as revenge for how badly perospero and jack treated the minks, and it's clear that oda only favors nekomamushi defeating perospero and inuarashi defeating jack over carrot and wanda defeating perospero because he can't fathom the idea of a female character actually doing something noteworthy.
i don't hate oda's writing completely, but god he frustrates me. especially since them defeating perospero would be the PERFECT REASON FOR HER TO BE NOMINATED AS THE NEW QUEEN OF ZOU!!!! WHY IS A TEENAGE GIRL WHO DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THE QUEEN??? SHE DIDN'T EVEN KILL THE MAN WHO TOOK OUT PEDRO!!

Tashigi's goal to take all named swords away from the evildoers. Unless Zoro decides to help her (read: do it for her) after he's done with his own goal, she is not taking any swords from anyone worth mentioning. She could have been for Zoro what Koby is for Luffy. Instead, she is just a glorified damsel in distress.
So far, Nami's magical navigator powers don't seem to be paying off. They have a needle that literally points in the direction you're supposed to go and Bartolomew navigates the grand line using his grandmother through a denden mushi.
I think Oda agrees, that's why he gave her weather abilities instead.

Idk if it counts as plot .....
Hawkins predicting there's one person who has
1% chance to survive during Onigashima battle.
It is believed either the major key players like Law, Kidd or one of the Strawhat is that "person".
Many theorize these part and was huge thing back then.
Turns out its Hawkins himself, like are you trolling me?
And Orochi multiple fake death plot just so Hiyori can have a closure with him and still in the end Denjiro need to come and save her ass.....one of the most useless and flop execution plot ever.
