One Piece - I'm Gonna Be the Pirate King!

my least favorite arc is whole cake island oddly enough. it has its good parts for sure like the final fight and some of the in between things but other than that i found it to be boring.

i also dont see why people would dislike thriller bark. it has some of the best longest lasting effects on the crew and brook joins as well.

which as far as the hate for brook is concerned those people need to realize brook was alone drifting in the sea for ages. so i always took his interest in panties as childish humor but also a result of him not being around anyone for ages. like how sanji worked to control his nose bleeds until he saw mermaids for the first time.

BTW, they cast a Russian to play Nico Robin. One Piece fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It's weird that I didn't really consider POST-TS good until Whole Cake. I thought it was just kind of a lackluster rehash of earlier arcs with worse designs (I'm looking at you franky!). Whole Cake was the first arc that I found relatively interesting and not a straight rehash of something PRE-TS. Dressrosa I thought was a slog to get through even when I was reading it all at once and Fishman Island was a pretty boring re-introduction to the cast.

I also liked Wano, granted I started reading the manga at the start of Egghead so if there was horrible pacing issues with Wano, they don't stick out.

Brave and stunning of them to go through with it. And she's gorgeous, too.

Her near skinhead look from some of her work is a bit too heroin-chic for me but the photos outside of that makes me think that in the live action she's going to be the one causing early onset puberty unless Nami's actress has some dramatic changes in the near future. Which in fairness would line up with the source material.

All the Post-TS arcs are a retelling of the Pre-TS arcs.

Fishman Island = East Blue (introduction and Shark Fishman Final Boss). Punk Hazard = Arabasta (hot and cold dichotomy and Logia Final Boss that runs the island in secret). Dressrosa = Skypeia (false Paradise run by a false god). Totto Land = Water 7 (weird island intoduction, move into a weirder island due to a kidnapped member that came willingly to protect the crew, incompetent ruler, Second-in-Command Final Boss). Wano = Thriller Bark (moving island, weird geology, chimeric monsters for mooks, trapped population, enemy team-up, Depressed, Horned Monster Final Boss,). Egghead = Sabaoby (amusement park-esque location, Kizaru fight, Kuma return, undefeatable for now Boss Rush, crew is seperated).

It is like poetry, it rhymes.

Wouldn't arabaster have more in common with dressrosa, since their both about one of the warlords abusing their power to take over a small kingdom? It even has the straw hats rescuing the rightful princess and the straw hats and Marines teaming up.

Katakuri is a Top Tier Villain.

Luffy slowly earning his respect and shattering the "Cool Invincible Katakuri" that Katakuri had built up (for really good reasons) was great, If not for some minor tidbits in the Kaido fight I would call Katakuri the best Villian, but I think there are some thematic bits to how the Kaido fight went down that are important.

Depends? Punk Hazard had a temporary crewmate, a very hot and a very cold place, monster pet with Devil Fruit, a team-up with Smoker and artificial weather conditions as well as the stuff I mentioned before. Like Arabasta. Then we have Dressrosa. False god deposes kind ruler, an oppressed population in a situation forced upon them, guerilla fighters that fight with hit-and-run tactics, the villain 's apparent death in the middle of the arc and a really big punch at speed. Like Skypeia. You are NOT wrong but that is more Oda keeping the thematic narrative. Arabasta and Skypeia had a lot of things in common.
 
Thinking about it, we kind of needed to see Dressrosa.

In Sadabody we saw what you get when the World Government Directly Rules a Place
Dressrosa we see what happens under a Warlord with Government backing
Wano and Tot Land we see what happens with Amoral Pirates in charge.

You think this is intentional? IIRC, Oda said that he wanted the final war after One Piece is found by Luffy to be a bigger and better and more on a massively grand scale version of Marineford.

Don’t forget Sabaody showed us the Celestial Dragons, and the full scale of how they’re above the law. Honestly, I think they might be the ones that started all the discourse over how Oda is trying to do some commentary.

It is Oda. He planned it. At this point, if you have to ask that, he propably planned it. Do not underestimate him. Unless he has god-tier skill in resolving loose ends.

Moderate commentary and creating unsympathetic villains is perfectly normal for a work of fiction.

I was including them as part of the World Government.

And yet YouTubers and Twitter users will say this means One Piece sympathizes with the likes of libertarians, monarchists, trans rights, or #FreePalestine.

We all know that Oda is really saying he loves Dear Sneeder, Ohara is Kiwi Farms.

One Piece sympathises with reasonable freedom seekers, good people in power, good queers and is more than willing to acknowledge that both sides can be both wrong and right at the same time. Leftists see what they want to see. Right wing extremists are the same.
