Breh think about what you just said. You counting blocking an attack and then trying and failing to run away as a crew member contributing. Yeah I know his eyebrow switched over showing he was using his germa powers but they didn’t go anywhere with it.

With the crew members we are always waiting. The payoff never comes until the finale of fighting a lackey. They are steady stalling and running away. It’s old.

Coulda let Sanji boss up and get a couple hits in on Kizaru while saving Bonney. Nope that’s for Luffy. Everything is for Luffy.

Thinking back on it WCI was probably one of the better arcs. Splitting the crew in half allowed them to get more shine.

Wano really showed how bloated one piece could be and characters still not having their moment. Looks at Zoro.

Spoilers for Chapter 1109 via Reddit

Confirmed by redon : Spoilers 1.109
  • New Cover Story in Wano : We see Onigashima sinking into the sea like the Titanic.
  • The chapter starts with Vegapunk's pre-recorded message to the world. Vegapunk tells people that they have a few minutes to prepare their video Den Den Mushi to watch the message.
  • We see people from all over the world getting ready to watch the message, including Morgans, Vivi or Wapol.
  • The Gorosei wonders where the message is being broadcast from.
  • In Egghead, Kizaru attacks Luffy in multiple ways but Luffy dodges them.
  • Luffy wonders why Saturn takes no damage from his attacks. He then flattens Saturn and Kizaru like pancakes and throws them away.
  • Saturn still takes no damage and returns to fight Luffy while the Gorosei are pestering him.
  • In the end, it looks like Saturn summons the rest of the Gorosei.
  • There is a break next week.

I agree with you. But Oda has also worked on One Piece for nearly 30 years and if you haven't been paying attention, dude is almost at his end. One Piece also happen to be massive, which encompasses over dozens and hundreds of characters, hundreds of years of lore and history. He's had eye surgery, his art is considerably worse than it used to be. I agree that's a flaw but I've been reading since 2004. I'm beyond invested and willing to excuse flaws like this. To say it's more of the same though, is flat out ducktales. Show me a Dragon Ball arc with the storytelling quality of Egg Head. I'll wait. Matter of fact, show me any shounen with the storytelling of Egghead, especially near its end. One Piece is nearly 30 years old and almost every chapter is a fukking banger. What more do you want? Naruto went to complete shyt near its end. One Piece does what other shounen series aren't doing but at the end of the day it's still a shounen.

Many of your complaints may have to do with the fact it's not even done yet. Nami can't complete her dream the first go around because, for one, there's multiple entry ways into the New World. They started in East Blue and haven't been to North, South, or West Blue. In order to complete her dream it has to be after Luffy becomes Pirate King. Even then, Nami is my favorite characte not Luffy and she has had tremendous growth in WCI and Wano. She's been MVP in many recent stories. So far, All Blue hasn't been found yet, and a common theory is that it will be made when the Red Line is destroyed. Robin is working on her dream and is crucial to the end of the story so much so the villaiins still want to kidnap her. Usopp and Chopper are the only characters who have had a regress. You talk of Sanji when he has had an entire damn arc dedicated to him and his development even though it's not related to All Blue. You sound like you're picking nits. Especially given the fact that One Piece is a slow burn story. It took Oda over a decade to build up that Kuma story and we just got it a few weeks ago.

How long have you been reading One Piece?

Talking about,"what about this and what about this?" in a story when Vegapunk is going to reveal the Void Century, something that has had decades of build up in the next damn chapter. Matter of fact, Vegapunk's very existence was built up for decades and here he is now. Talking about,"what about this? and what about that?" in this long running, slow burn story. Dumb dumb nitpick shyt.

:martin:

Got people complaining about "what about this?" and "Why is Luffy always taking on villains?" when the Void Century is going to be revealed in the next damn chapter as if any of us give a single fukk. You clearly can't please some people.

If you thought Oda was going to reveal ANYTHING even remotely close to when it was mentioned then i have to ask you, how long have you been reading One Piece. :mjlol:

No way in hell that transmission is being shown this or even next chapter. Id honestly be shocked if its even DIRECTLY shown this arc.


Long rant aside, im glad you initially stated this is an issue, and its probably due to Oda's health and just getting tired of the series after so long. What people wanted out of this series is for the crew to actually feel like a crew that were contributing, maybe not equally, but make it feel like they are essential to Luffy. Used to be if you were a fan of a character you had something to discuss each arc on how they improved, contributed to the success of the arc, etc.... Now though, unless you a fan of Luffy or Zoro, your favorite character spends most of the arc running. Dont act like you never heard the terms Run Piece and now Nika Piece.

This is why the coli is undefeated when it comes to conversations about Manga because if this was you posting this shyt here, you’d get a 1st class trip on the neg train.


I'll just paste what I wrote in that thread.

I remember ten years ago when lgbtq people said that One Piece was transphobic because of Okama Island and its portrayal of trans women being manly. It's weird to see people say it's pushing a queer agenda or others to say it celebrates lgbtq people considering the discussions that were had. People criticized One Piece for turning lgbtq people into a giant joke. Now they say One Piece celebrates these same people. Odd.

Now I'll say what I didn't say in that thread:

fukk those alphabet fakkits thinking OP is a queer positive story. Everything ain't about you and Oda makes a mockery of you and your lifestyle and literally makes it seem abnormal and odd.
