kuja island i can see but marineford is absolutely wrong. it was a highlight of the series. shabondy through to the timeskip was the longest period of nonstop good chapters

If you actually want me to answer your questions then talk to me like a person. marineford contained well designed characters, emotional high (low) points that felt genuine and earned, a worldspanning conflict which felt like some sort of payoff, hints towards the final end of the story. in this sense it is one of if not the best arc in the series, tied probably with water 7->enies lobby which contaiend similar emotional highs/cool fights, but more internal motivations than external

You can dislike it definitely. For me, I thought that the two characters the arc revolved around, being whitebeard and luffy, were the most interesting in te story. Whitebeard at leat manages to be a sense character story, with cool Motivations and powers and it was also cool that he was like a legendary figure. So moment with otherwise tertiary chars like Squardo had a lot of impact, because we saw what made him a great man within like the first dozen chapters he was in, which is in contrast to other characters (say kyros or Rebecca) who receive more chapters and come out still feeling hollow. Additionally the entire mega arc was "luffys arc" and showed his motivations a lot more clearly than they had been shown before. Like I got that he liked his nakama", and stuff like drum island and arlong park definitely showed that, but he was always relatively easily winning at those stages. The whitebeard war mega arc has him lose three times over and makes luffy a lot more interesting than generic shonen "I like my friends" leads, and really showcases the relationships he has in a cool light from the crew, to allies like Bon clay, to ace. Finally I like that arc a lot because unlike in many others, the stakes felt really high throughout. In the water seven big arc the stakes were high internally, between crew members and I genuinely could believe that someone from the crew might/could leave. In whitebeard war they were high because I thought anyone could die, btwn sengoku, maybe garp, ace, whitebeard, jinbei, ivankov. That levity made week to week implicitly more interesting than dress rosa necessarily because you pretty much know everyone including law and Bellamy are gonna be ok.

If you didn't like the part where Whitebeard, riddled with bullets and having only half a head, made sure to bellow out that One Piece does exist, I do think you're a madman. as well his epilogue owned

One thing I do wish is that the payoff for the series big secrets like will of d, void century, joyboy, etc was a bit more paced throughout. I get it's mostly end game stuff but it'd be really cool to definitively learn things in the build up!

zoro is on par with luffy and has been through most of the series. thats why he has to be handicapped if he isnt fighting luffy level opps.

I'm pretty sure "jack" is gonna be Morgan but with a kaidou fruit, this way when he fights the navy he gives them a rough time to show how strong kaidous army and fruits can make otherwise weak chars

Darth Walrus posted:Sakazuki's been getting an increasing number of humanising moments, even if he's still a giant rear end in a top hat. He'll get a beatdown, sure, but there's a vague possibility of redemption afterwards. On the other hand, I can see Borsalino going off the deep end like an Olympic diver. That guy is just not right. wait where has he gotten humanizing moments

Silver2195 posted:He didn't kill Aokiji, at least. (He didn't kill Bonney either, but in that case he probably had explicit orders to capture her alive.) There was also the bit where Sengoku suggested that Akainu would probably take back his order to kick Fujitora out of Marine bases if Fujitora apologized, suggesting that while Akainu is quick to anger, he doesn't necessarily hold long grudges. oh yeah idk if id call those humanizing, he's still kind of a huge rear end but it's more than he has his rigid code of justice and follows it in its entirety while giving some respect to strength and camaraderie (i.e. leaving kuzan alive, willing to forgive fujitora) things im interested in: 1. kaidou war and his backstory 2. akainu backstory and final fight 3. will we ever get to see kong fight

if the end of the devil fruit "story" is just that 'nearby fruits become the devil fruit if someone dies' then thats just another disappointing story beat in the post timeskip one piece

Advice posted:Can I ask you a question, tbp? What happened when Smiley ate the candy, exploded, and a nearby piece of fruit in a basket appeared to turn into a devil fruit? I mean I think it happened exactly the way it looked, a nearby fruit presumably of the same kind (like banana to banana or whatever) becomes the devil fruit. I'm holding out a sliver of hope that isn't necessarily the case because I think that's an insanely bad storytelling idea, and while it doesn't outright conflict with anything we know of the fruits currently it seems to me absolutely silly that it would be some grand mystery about how they get reproduced in the world yet nobody except like three ppl ever has realized that it's just "yeah another close fruit lol"

man pretty much every single chapter since the end of dressrosa has been really really good. since then i feel less like there is a lot of competing storylines which each are kinda eh on their own, to now where theres a multitude and i wish i could see more right away. weirdly the thing im most excited for is weevil, his design is both like completely funny but also a bit intimidating, i wanna see that power in action

And they need to do something with the Revolutionaries as well, but that'll probably be part of the Blackbeard arc. i agree with those ideas definitely, weeble in particular feels like he'll be attached to a storyline. i hope he comes back in soon, interesting character
