No matter how one loves, there are always different aims. Love can take a great many forms, whatever the era.
yeah I don't really like his art and I especially don't think it's a very good fit for One Piece

It’s about time, I don’t think they’ve gotten a fight yet since Luffy and Zoro have been bogarting that poo poo since the New World started.

thinking about it, was it that overfocused pre-skip? Like actual fights and not offscreen slaughters like Zoro vs Drum Kingdom? I feel like Luffy and Zoro got more but usually not that much more than the rest of the crew once Nami got her Clima Tact.

He really is!
Usopp fights are my favourites. IMO we haven't had a good one since Usopp vs. Perona, back in Thriller Bark.

I can't remember Nami having a proper fight since Kalifa in Enies Lobby. It feels like ever since then she's been relegated to crowd control/support roles.

Page One and Ulti vs Nami and Usopp will be interesting as the former seem to be all about close combat and their Dino strength as far as we've seen while the latter two are the ones who're best at fighting indirectly.

I'm really hoping we get the fight at all. I'm crossing my fingers that we've mostly gotten clashes and one-hit defeats is because Oda is trying to rush things along because of something super special going on with Chapter 1,000.

One of the downsides of his hyper-detailed art is that it makes his ultra-stylised female character designs look even creepier.

His fight against Sugar was slightly unconventional, but really really good. It was a good sniper battle- just one shot- but the stakes were incredibly high (she just needed to touch Luffy and basically everything would be over), and the shot he had to make was elaborate enough to be impressive as it unfolded. And the climax was amazing.

Yeah, same. It's different, but I actually quite like the feeling of seeing the One Piece world in a completely different way.

Oda wants to get to 1000 by the end of the year and we have exactly 12 Sundays left in 2020. This week was 991, so that's 9 chapters. That gives him one break week a month, and I'm assuming the magazine's gonna be off for Christmas/New Year's for one of those weeks.

To be clear, I don't hate this art style. It's not bad. It just makes me uncomfortable at times.

It's kind of crazy how manga release schedules work. Seems like it would be much better to have seasons or something.

Honestly this kind of rumor mongering doesn't really help anybody, nor is it productive. In the end, Oda wasn't feeling well, so he and the staff decided to let him get a couple of weeks rest to get better. Which is fine by me, given that he's slowly killing himself from overworking as a mangaka and could use some downtime here and there.
