Are the Straw Hats really going to use the log pose for the first time since fishman island? I doubt it. If the path Luffy chose is South East then it means that he's not going to be making any progress going forward towards the end of the grand line. Seeing as how we're in the home stretch, I'd say something is going to interfere and force them to go another direction. It's either that or there's gonna be a series of montages to cover the next few islands which are essentially beginner zones while the Straw Hats are already at max level.

Dude it doesn't matter. You're thinking too logically here. It's oda we're talking about. This guy will have zoro survive 43 admiral encounter. Just watch for the mysteries he laid out 10 years ago.

Well here's the thing, who exactly is going to be the new antagonist? The past few arcs dealt with the Yonko but they're gone now, so I guess it's either gonna be the marines or blackbeard. I suppose weevil might show up but can he really do anything against the Straw Hats at this point? If the straw hats go to some random island or to elbaf, it's gonna be an incredibly boring arc since there's no real conflict. That's why I'm leaning towards a montage or perhaps some off screen adventuring while we change focus for a little while to other characters like Buggy, Coby, Sabo, Vivi, etc...

Hard disagree. The exploration is the fun part, battles get boring fast. After a 100 chapter "raid" I can do with 2-3 islands of pure adventure and world building. Plus, our crew are Yonkos now, shouldn't we get to see some goomba-stomping like the old east blue days and the return to Sabody arc?

There literally is time to "waste" because we need the 4th poneglyph, and it would be silly for them to find it on the next island by luck.

Oda wants a lot of things, I give One Piece another fuckin 8 years minimum, two for Elbaf and then another six for the final arc. If theres a third arc bump it to 10 years minimum, lol.

you keep talking about manga sales as if its an important metric in judging whether one piece is good or not. one piece is almost 30 years old. do you actually expect one piece to retain the #1 position forever?

It's sad because he's rushing the ending rather than actually fleshing out all the mysteries and plots he laid out. Why did we even have to get so much chapters on characters running around and timeless time bombs? It almost seemed like Oda purposely did this because he wanted to procrastinate on this. It's like why should we get 50 chapters of bird cage when we can get 50 chapters of BB/SHANKS/Vegapunk in exchange? Like what's the point of that seriously? It just affects the manga and points out Oda as being a flawed mangaka. You can't deny you actually enjoy bird cage and Big mom's wedding cake to be 50 chapter worthy and a good replacement for what we could've gotten right? It's like saying I want my meal to be 90% brocolli and 10% steak. Why not 90% steak and 10% brocolli like everyone wants?

what are you blabbing on about? your post is riddled with contradictions and you dont make any sense.
you claim one piece's quality has turned to shit because oda is rushing the ending, but you then provide examples of scenes that had a high number of chapters invested into it for not much plot progression. you also say oda seems to be procrastinating. none of this is "rushing".
pacing problems in the manga post timeskip have been criticised a lot even in this thread, and it was exactly because we thought oda was going too slow rather than too fast. no idea how you ended up at the conclusion that oda is rushing the ending after all this.
and in this thread at the very least, the consensus seems to be that oda is definitely not going to finish one piece in 3 years. i dont know how you can accuse oda of not fleshing out details when the manga isnt finished and the explanations literally havent happened yet. in the next few years i expect oda will actually get around to elaborating on important plot points and we can decide whether the explanations were sufficient then. to me it seems like youre just on a mission to hate oda and one piece now and will find any excuse to do so. remarkably similar behaviour to far left/right nutcases.

you also conveniently dodged the point i raised about what sales metrics has anything to do with one piece quality.

Yonko Buggy just get more amusing the more time passes ngl


It's probably even gonna take like another 10 years to finish possibly lol

Manga as a medium take alot of time to fleshout chapters.
