Break Week When the manga ends people will realize side characters werent worth it

water 7 & EL needed the entirety of frankie family began the rift within SH crew & aided them throughout the entirety from W7 to escaping, franky & iceburg were the second main storyline.... EL is just a continuation where they all came together to rescue Franky & Robin lets not forget Paulie & Galley La were main components in W7 prior to CP reveal... yawn.

Arlong Park was literally the entirety of the Cocoyasi to save nami after all the sacrifices she had made to save them...

lmfao Alabasta are you serious rn? SMOKER, VIVI, Robin literally joined the crew afterwards - she was a side character... koza, pell, boroque works, we got introdued to BON CLAY & Mr3... hmm should I keep going, Laboon, Little Garden was a main component and Dory & Broggy were introduced, introduced to Chopper and Hiluluk and guess what another side character joined the crew...

alabasta was the 4th longest arc not even saga, arc just until recently.

try again.


will you stop responding again? still waiting on your response from king v zoro.....
Franky is part of the straw hats he isnt a side character, Paulie and Gallie were gag characters hardly relevant, who tf is cocoyasi? The ones who saved Nami were the straw hats while everyone just watched

And King isnt a swordsman, he fought long distance, swordsman arent long distance fighters

Vada Pavs are heaven on earth.
Readers are talking about their fav chars and having fun, or whatever it is they've gained be it a lesson, friends, or anything in more than 20 years.

It's already more than worth it whatever the end is.
Well said man, very profound. I really like that.

I guess in a way the one piece really was the friends we made along the way lmao.

I'm sure that's what Oda intended to express too. The journey > the destination.
 
Sad but somewhat true on the antagonist side, Oda does all this work creating these cool side characters and all he does is shit on them the first chance there given to glaze the same 10 or so characters over and over.

Oda can't have the main villians of the story Blackbeard pirates, Marines, or World Government ever look competent or threatening.

The closest we have gotten to that recently was ciper pol in water 7 and guess what that was one of the best arcs in series so far. Each antagonist wasn't a joke (minus blueno as he was meant to showcase gear 2) and each strawhat had to become stronger in order to defeat them.

A story is only as good as its conflict and if the conflict isn't engaging the story can become boring quickly. I know people will look at the Garling moment and say "aura" or some shit. However, I think It's bad to make 1 of main 5 antagonists look bad (Blackbeard, Akainu, Imu, Garling, Shamrock) as they are the main drivers of the conflict. You make the conflict look pointless and stupid, if the reader thinks the antagonists are pointless or stupid.

Instead of the Strawhats being the focus of the story, some side character has to bail the strawhats out. Marco (big mom pirates), Shanks (greenbull), Gaban (holy knights), Giants/Emeth ( Egghead), etc. And I am tired of it because it makes both the antagonists and strawhats look incompetent compared to some side character.

I actually like the post timeskip, but one point of it was that the strawhats could handle their threats on their own now. One of the best recent chapters was when robin was fighting sommers and trying to beat him by outsmarting him. It gave both Sommers and Robin agency. Which is better than gaban coming out of nowhere and one shotting the antagonist that's supposed to create tension.
 
The 100 chapter long flashbacks for Kuma, Oden, Fisher Tiger, Shirahoshi and every irrelevant side character there is will have a price and that will be the straw hats. Their story is coming to an end and all their dreams are dogshit.

Zoro hasnt defeated a single living swordsman

Sanji hasnt talked about all blue, its not even his dream anymore

The story will just end with no dreams being achieved except for Luffy's
Community carries in this regard, even with agendas etc it's just entertaining
