General & Others Worst One Piece time skip arc (poll)

Fishman Island, just like a few bad post TS arc such as Punk Hazard, Dressrosa, WCI, Zou and Wano, has:
- a lot of unnecessary explanation and paneling. For example, just look how many info can be omitted from franky and toy kyros chat panels.
- repeated scenes that conveyed no new info
- introduction of many tertiary characters with one-time use and no narrative impact
In short, those arcs can be compressed to around 50% of the normal length and nothing value will be lost. Imagine if we use the free chapters length for important stuff like Revolutionary, Devil Fruit/Vegapunk, Ancient Weapon, Yonko clash with the same length as Big Mom and Kaido, OR, you know, actual adventure...

- Shit tier villains. Both of Hody Jones and Van Der Decken were really so bad that people don't want to discuss them anymore. It's as if people automatically cropped Hody and Van Der Decken out of their memory because of how shitty they are.
- Not interesting secondary characters / villagers. Fukaboshi and his 2 brothers, Neptune, Shirahoshi, Madam Shirley etc, nobody cares about them.
- Oda completely skipped Fishman Karate Dojo which is already mentioned since pre timeskip.
- Fishman Island is the home of all fishmen yet their design in their homeland are all not good. Up until now, the best designed fishman is still Arlong, which is already introduced since East Blue saga.
Actually, reverse it. Replace every other arc's villain with Hody Jones and the arc will be worst arc ever.

But that is my point though, that people hate FMI because of Hody Jones. They overlook the actual lore reveals that we got and the emotional moment between Fishmen and Nami, Jinbei etc. Also, it was only 50 chapters. When was the last time we got a main arc that had less than 75 chapters? Wano is 150+ chapters.
