This week is WSJ itself on break. Two weeks ago was One Piece specifically. ...If anything that makes it worse, really.

From Sabody 1.0 to Punk Hazzard still feels like the weirdest gap in One Piece to me. The Ace rescue arc felt like every character there was going through the motions at best except Akainu, Whitebead, Hancock, and Luffy. Everyone's strength were so loving random and bizarre. There were definitely characters that should have had more intense fights, especially people who were considered major players in the crew belonging to the strongest human in the world or the highest level marines. Then again almost all of White Beard's crew were singly handedly defeated off-panel by Weevil so maybe there could have just been a huge gap in power between even Katakuri and Marco but White Beard was legitimately the single strongest entity for the longest time that nobody just wanted to upset him.

I dunno maybe it was a combination of reading it all at once and I can sort of imagine other fights going on but it felt like whenever I was feeling like I hadn't seen a character in a while, they would show up in a big moment, Like everyone jumping in front of Mihawk to keep him off Luffy or Buggy being in the right place where he's forced to help. Throw in Blackbeard showing up and I felt sold that there was so much going on that even a guy who could kick at the speed of light couldn't clean this up no problem. Add in surprising scenes of Akoiji having a tough time with guys like Joz and reveals that Kuma has lost his humanity and was once a Revolutionary or Coby and Helmeppo freaking out, and the pacing really worked for me

There were definitely characters that should have had more intense fights, especially people who were considered major players in the crew belonging to the strongest human in the world or the highest level marines. I agree that power levels for Impel Down and Marineford were somewhat inconsistent, but I think most of it can be explained. Luffy was performing above par, not just because of the regular strength that comes from desperation, but also because his desperation was intermittently unlocking his Haki for short bursts, and because of Ivankov’s doping. Also note that Luffy’s powers are oriented towards surviving non-cutting attacks; he took a lot of hits from people way above him, but he didn’t do much damage to people way above him. Doflamingo, Mihawk, and Kizaru seemed to be going through the motions because they were. Mihawk just didn’t care, Doflamingo was probably OK with the WG being weakened as long as it wasn’t outright overthrown immediately, and Kizaru seems to be basically incapable of taking things seriously. Crocodile got back in shape while in Impel Down. He probably restored himself to the level he was at before Whitebeard crushed his confidence. Jozu and Vista are probably weaker than Marco by a fairly small but clear margin, and Marco is strong enough to stall an Admiral for quite a while but not strong enough to win against one. The gap between Jozu/Vista and Ace is somewhat larger, and the power level of Whitebeard division commanders probably drops off steeply after that.

everyone was treating it mostly as a game right up until the actual critical bit of the marines plan being put into action. i don't really have a problem with all 3 admirals being individually stronger than every captain of whitebeards fleet and they were very effective at neutralising whitebeard himself would love another flashback chapter of whitebeard in his prime fighting someone though

(squardo, the ice platform to trap ships, and one more plan i think the early execution) when all of those failed and the direct assault began that's what made the marines stop messing around.

wasnt a huge point of the arc to basically end the pirate era and, by extension, be a complete show of power with limited casualties on the marine side

I feel like there is almost certainly gonna be an extended 40-years-ago flashback when we got to the bottom of the Rox mystery, could be a convenient way to explain the backstories of so many characters in one swoop kinda like the Fisher Tiger story did during Fishman Island

Oh I have no doubt that whatever happened during the Void Century is extremely damning to the WG as otherwise they wouldn't have gone to such lengths to prevent people from interpreting the poneglyphs. Once it's revealed I expect almost an entire mini-arc devoted to covering it.

I definitely recommend picking up a few of your favourite volumes physically. Some pages (especially spreads) have an entirely different feel on a page vs. on a phone/monitor. It’s worth it.

The One Piece world is a horrible fascist nightmare where the further in the boonies and away from the government you are the better as long as you aren't targeted by some random pirates. To the point where they essentially wiped out an entire island just for trying to research said lost age. Hell, there are several world leaders in the series that would agree that Luffy and the Straw Hats have done more good for them in the span of a few days than the WG has in years (in fact, the government actually created a fair number of those problems). It's going to be interesting to see what happens once everything is out in the open (I'm guessing a full scale war that would put Marineford to shame where a good chunk of the world rallies around the new Pirate King against the WG).
