How are the rest of you feeling about this arc now that it's just about finished up?
Some of my thoughts... (positives and negatives)
Positives:
+ Donflamingo. We get to see his crew in action, we finally find out who he is and what he does after being built up for years :ohh:
Plus, he's by far the best villain they've gone up against since the timeskip, way better that cornballs like Hody Jones
+ Law's backstory and past with Corazon, Corazon's tragic death, and the origin of Law's vendetta against Donflamingo
+ The Return of Sabo, which confirmed the theory that he had joined up with the revolutionaries
+ Franky vs. Senor Pink Their fight should have been longer
+Gear 4th, and Luffy's final battle with Donflamingo
Negatives:
-too long and drawn out overall. The arc feels like it was overly bloated with way too many subplots going on at once. Some of these stories would have been better had they been saved for a future arc.
-too many random tertiary characters and all these other lames stayed getting way more shine than most of the Strawhats in this arc.
at Robin STILL not getting a fight. And what happened to Chopper, Nami, Sanji, and Brook? We haven't seen them in more than a year
