Controversial Which antagonist group was handled the worst in One Piece ?

#1
Of the many antagonist groups who faced and opposed the Straw Hats, WG-affiliated or not, which one(s) do you think was/were handled in the worst way by Oda, either failing to make them interesting or destroying their credibility as an antagonist group and threat or both?

You mean only SHs matchups or antagonists in general?

CP0 in Egghead was so underwhelming

Hody Jones Pirates were trash

Donqueixote Pirates in general besides Vergo and Doffy were pretty boring

I can be wrong in the future, but for now Holy/God Knights are so boring

Beast Pirates because at least the BMP looked like an actual force in an arc. The Beast pirates have been clowned ever since Zou
The Beast Pirates were so handicaped and nerfed, and they are so neglected and underdeveloped as a crew and characters with their history, from their formation to how and why they came to Wano to how they became a Yonko Crew, to how they made the deal with Doflamingo and developed that Smiles users army being so obscure; as well as the relations and dynamics between the crew members, even between Kaido and the Calamities being so underwritten, and more informations on their empire and their islands and forces and allies outside of Wano would have been great to read about.

I agree. However i think Oda kinda destroyed their credibility after what he did in Wano except with Perospero.

Characters like Smoothie, Cracker, Snack, Oven and Daifuku had so much potential
Along with their mother as well. A titanic body with one of the most powerful and versatile devil fruits she uses creatively, plus a super scream, plus very strong haki, plus an interesting goal and dream and backstory; Big Mom had some insane potential both as a character and as a fighter.

Yet Oda ruined all of that, with some of his very worst writing in the entire manga.

There are also the non-Charlotte Big Mom Pirates such as Tamago who seemed to have lots of influence and respect within the crew and has one of the most unique devil fruits in the manga, Bobbin who was shot right after revealing his power, which surely had lots of potential (imagine all the possibilities with a sleep df) and seemed to have a particularly close relation with Big Mom, or Streusen who is Big Mom's father figure and surely the closest thing to King of Hearts for her as well and was said to be powerful and whose df has lots of potential as well, who were severaly underdevelopped and neglected. And there was that huge mess with Pekoms.

Basically every group introduced post timeskip.

Even the Gorosei, like why did Oda feel the need for Luffy to fight 4 of them? The strawhats in the end left the arc unharmed in what should've been their most dangerous situation since sabaondy.

They stayed in that fucking boat like they couldn't go up after BM and Kaido made the alliance.
It just would have been too much for the alliance which brings the question: why did Oda bring BM to Wano except for getting rid of her and move on faster with the story?

I dont know why people are harping about warlords after 20 years
Smoker, who is the "good" marine in the story, told 20 years ago that the system is shit and you cant trust a pirate

Its not like it was ever presented as a system that worked well, thats also why they got replaced, and not bunch of marines or wg agents, with the SSG

The warlords are IN STORY written t be a shit system

I don't think that Oda had a fucking clue about what to do with Big Mom.
