For me, the pacing is much slower than expected. The introduction of Vegapunks took multiple chapters for no reason. Oda still giving incomplete info, which leads nowhere. As of now, nothing new which will let readers think about stuff has been shown. Reveals as of now are nothing special or specific. It's still teasing. I expected this arc to be very small and new good information flowing in every chapter, like say in reverie. Though reverie did not really reveal much, its pacing was good(it was not an arc though the content did not feel like wasted panels). Here we can get a lot of content, but I feel like we still only wasting panels instead of giving info.
