In before it is something that seems silly as shit before we see it in combat.

If it has godlike power (enough at least to be confused for a god) then it will be impressive. My bet is that it will be based on Ultgard-Loki's power over illusions. For those who do not know, he was strong enough to fend off Thor.

He's a dumbass with a bottomless pit for a stomach like Luffy. Giant-Sanji chained him to the tree to keep him from raiding the fridge at night; all tension and negative feelings coming from him are because Loki is being pissy at being denied a literal boatload of semla or whatever his equivalent of meat happens to be.

Hákarl. He was denied for a reason.

Riku, Punch King Man,Ox Man and Neptune all show up to the Ruins of Marejoia

"Whelp I guess we are the last 4 kings in existence."

Wapol enters

"I am a King too can I join"

"NO WE ALL FUCKING HATE YOU DIE!"
 
This reverie predictably is just people patting themselves saying the same things oda didn't put that much thought in as the deepest thing they've seen(like deaths and the symbols behind them and how deaths are totally the biggest issue to complain at), Getting giddy over how wano and egghead are just perfect and how all the creators are so smart and eloquent and non-problematic they all act.

God that sounds insufferable. How many times did they clone Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons?

He probably has an impressive DF considering it was worth killing his father over.

i think whatever the power is it has to be something strong enough that a giant would consider it an actual threat. my guess is that he has a fruit that lets whatever he says become true and thats why he is so set on saying he is the sun god. because he has to believe the things he says himself for them to actually work.

The drawk son is just saying of how the one of the (safest) problems with egghead was the buster call and not showing the affected civilians from it. That's a medium issue of tens of how egghead just felt like nothing mattered, let's get of it and move to another story.

Every time some disaster happens in fiction, it seems we get a bunch of people upset over the fact we don’t see a bunch of NPCs dealing with the aftermath.

My only thing I’d complain about was how Vegapunk’s message was interrupted in a way where it seemed like Oda was panicking over the fact it seemed like readers would figure out the endgame and how everything is connected before he wants them to (he only wants people to figure it out when Luffy learns about it, even if it doesn’t click for Luffy because of how dense he is. That or he doesn’t give a shit.)

People act like this is a bad thing, but it’s core to creating any kind of story-driven media. The goal isn’t so much that the reader discovers the mystery before the reveal, but as a consequence of all the details coming together. If realizing mid-stroke he was underestimating his audience and course correcting as a result is the worst to come out of a quarter-century of writing, then that’s not too bad. It’s a benefit of a serialized release.
Ultimately Oda understands that One Piece will be a completed work for much longer than it will be serialized, and is still empassioned enough to put out the best work he can.

I guess. I guess I just sighed and rolled my eyes when I realized what was going on.

I know Oda is doing his best, But considering Oda said he would change the ending if somebody could predict the ending, it seemed really clear what was going on. So as a result, we just have all these loose ends flailing around, and Oda basically guarding the secret to how they tie together like an attack dog.

Kind of funny how we had Roger saying he was too early to use The One Piece to do whatever what was meant to be done with it, and now I’m looking at Oda making moves to make sure the mystery isn’t solved too early.

I don't know, we're probably still a year away from One Piece's ending (past the five year mark stated) but I'm so burned out from this trend of fucking over the audience just to "subvert expectations", and that extended to My Hero Academia, that Hori was so intent on not making things "predictable" that he actively sabotaged the whole work and made it all the more worse to the point that by the end it wasn't how Deku became the greatest hero and he reverts to being powerless.

I know Oda probably has an idea of how One Piece will end but I doubt it was that well-planned. I mentioned this before but the World Government didn't really act truly hostile until Water 7/Enies Lobby. Sure, the Marines were antagonists but everything indicated that most of them were generally neutral, with people like Nezumi and "Axe-Hand" Morgan being corrupt bastards, and it's not until the Water 7/Enies Lobby arc when the World Government is a genocidal, hideously corrupt "guilty until proven innocent" entity complete with an intelligence agency packed with murderous sociopaths...and my suspicion that there was some sort of change of view in Oda's personal politics that may have personally influenced this.

At this point in my personal following of One Piece, I'm up to Sabaody Archipelago Arc and I'm going to be pissed if Oda drops the ball at this point.

Also, they just can't help themselves. Here's one of the writers for Netflix's One Piece with a very original and creative take on Wapol.

This dumbass has clearly not been paying attention to the redemption(?) arc Wapol has been going through.

@Xarpho's Return Honestly, my main analysis of the WG is that a lot of it is Oda showing how bad they really are, with each action showing more of the badness, leading to how in the end, the whole thing will be reset from zero. And how it has to be some massive force to do it. And that’s where Luffy with the treasure comes in.

Well it’s a good thing that everything Netflix does has to be approved by Oda now, isn’t it?

Also, anybody else find it weird that there’s no reason given for the sudden break?

Yeah but there's also the question of how they apprehended Roger, who apparently we learn knew everything, including being able to read the Poneglyphs given that he left a message in Skypiea in the same language. On the Poneglyphs and the ancient kingdom alone the WG went through great lengths to destroy Ohara and to capture/torture/kill Robin.

Also, at the point of the story I'm currently in (I have some general knowledge of the direction of the main story but not specifics), Luffy and his friends aren't explicitly anti-government, he only got his original bounty after the Arlong Park from a corrupt official, and his opposition to the WG only came about because of what they wanted to do to Robin. In the Post-Enies Lobby Arc, we learn of the existence of Dragon, who actively opposes the WG.
