Man, I really don't know WTF Oda is doing recently. The writing has been quite poor, compared to the past.They were idiots for not sending admirals and their new weapons after the Shichibukai right off the bat. Why send a fleet after each of them with just fodder? Crocodile alone was enough to decimate the fleet sent after Buggy.
The bounties chapter was the only one which truly excited me in many months.
How TF are we supposed to feel any form of threat or danger or hype from the marines/govt, who are supposedly the final boss (maybe three way along with BB) of the series, when we have:
- all Shichibukai so far escaping with no consequences
- Sabo and a bunch of clowns out-maneuvering the admirals, CP0, Kong etc
- Gorosei's sudden retardation and abysmal incompetence
- Greenbull's reaction to Shanks
- admiral portrayal in film red
Adding to this, Coby (the only dude apart from admirals still having any form of hype/buildup) getting an L in current chapter too?
Man, I hope Imu is really worth it.
Cause his underlings' credibility and hype is in the damn gutter.
