So Sanji's bounty IS going to increase by a lot .... but for wrong reasons :s

I think that's true. Oda chose another route though and sadly this one isn't really flattering for her.

Maybe she looks threatening for you, that's fine, to many many others she simply doesn't and I just pointed out why. I even pointed out the difference in knowing that she is a beast (which we do) compared to the simply subpar threat level she represents in the manga. Each new time she closes the...

It's not about her portrayal on the outside ("cool looks"). We know that she should be an absolute beast. It's about all those situations where she's in. No sense of danger at all. Everytime Oda wants to think that the situation is "desperate", he immediately follows it up with some comedic...

Oh I see, you didn't like the words I used. That's fair. Let's just say I heavily disliked the last 20 chapters or so and that I think Oda has put out some really underwhelming writing during this stretch. I agree that my wording might have been a bit harsh in the first place and I understand it...

Just to ease your worries: I own every single volume (sans the newest one).

Great post! Especially the last paragraph sums up what some don't want to understand.

To point out something I actually like about this chapter: The Zeus-Nami storyline is repetitive, but if she really ends up with him as a new asset, I would welcome it. Let's face it, Nami is still useless when it come to battles against enemies that have no direct weather-weaknesses. A massive...

Well Zehahaha, to be quite honest, I think there was a lot to critizise about those arcs, too. If you ask me, OP simply has been lacking something since the timeskip (outside of the Zou arc, which was simply amazing in my book). I think the pacing and handling of the power structures between...

So you simply chose to ignore and leave out the entire main part of my post, where I respectfully explain some of my thoughts (especially the point about plot conveniences)? You have your way of thinking about the story, think you are completely and utterly right and think you're smarter than...

Basically everything you just wrote here can be summed up in three sentences: "This arc has some conveniences, I know ... but how dare you critizise Oda now, when it has always been this way. You simply don't understand the concept of a manga! I can't deal with harsher criticism of OP, when it...

That's what's part of the problem though. It's only natural that the protagonists of a shonen manga have incredible luck. That has to be expected and accepted, if you follow the manga. It becomes bs though, when said luck and conveniences get completely out of hand and basically drive an entire...

It's really just identifying those last 20 chapters for what they are: A huge pile of shit covered up by a layer of whipped cream. Identifying the unprecedented bs nerfing of BM and her crew as creativity and great effort is ... alternative thinking to say the least. Only because it's OP and...

Maybe you try to accept criticism and start to think about why there has been so much criticism and hating lately. Might have to do something with he fact that the last twenty chapters or so have indeed been horrible.

Yep, and I don't care one bit.
