Yeah, wait, what's wrong with that page? It's pure energy. You can clearly tell what's going on, but you can't make out fine details because holy poo poo that punch.

Viewing it out of context and four years after the fact I don't know what the thing at the point of impact is. Is it an energy blob? Someone's face? Equipment shattering?

e: it's a dust ring! Oh. Well, I'm leaving my guesses up because I went through all those and more before realizing what it was.

I've read some of the older arcs but otherwise I started watching a couple years back during Dressrosa and only started reading when I (eventually) caught up to the release schedule of the anime

I keep up to date on the manga and have since mid-Dressrosa. I've just only seen, and haven't read, most of the manga from Enies Lobby through the first half of Dressrosa. Haven't seen the anime since I caught up.

Seriously, read the manga from the beginning and you'll understand why that initial comment wasn't hyperbole.

they were barely used though. like all the rest of it that felt really slow reading in real time isn't an issue at all but the bird cage is.

the other really big problem with it is that it made dressrosa seem really small. This is supposed to be an island with multiple towns on it but it never looks like that

It's a shame the birdcage is a really lovely plot contrivance, because there's so much in Dressrosa that's amazing. Now that it's all been released in colour, I would really recommend reading it again, it's super long, but it's still excellent One Piece.

i always thought birdcage was fine if only it was limited to a faradays cage and didn't move. it could be explained by doffy living there for so long that he kept storing his string powers or w/e into that island to do that ala tsunade's forehead mark. but then it started moving in and the strongest fuckers couldn't do poo poo against it. that was just bad!
