There is, and his name is Blackbeard. And I don't think Blackbeard is a giant floating island. And neither is Fujitora, for that matter. | ||

If you dislike all those characters, maybe you should choose a different manga. Additionally, not only are you not a true fan of One Piece due to those dislikes, but I'm pretty sure disliking Franky makes you a bad person as well. Yeah, in general if you like everything about something you're not being objective and are in a make-believe world instead of seeing things how they are, there's no perfect manga / anime / book or anything. One Piece has its flaws as well and ignoring them in my opinion isn't something a true fan should do. As an easy example Punk Hazard arc was mostly terrible. I also don't really know why disliking Franky would make me a terrible person, just have never thought he really adds anything and he's mostly annoying. I also personally dislike the entire concept of mechas and things like that in the one piece world but that's another thing. Nami I dislike mostly because she is violent to all the others for no reason and generally acts like a spoiled brat. To be honest, I actually really liked her early on but she's just been getting worse and worse. Also is greatly favored by the author, in my opinion unfairly towards the other characters. Nico Robin was my favorite character and still is good but the post-timeskip direction still hasn't been the best. Luffy's somehow become a tiny person, almost a midget who everyone is taller of when early on he was a very very tall boy. That doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to me. Still, I really like him as a character, he in fact is pretty much the only big shounen main character who I really like, perhaps because he seems to have been designed a bit more tongue-in-cheek. I think it's actually disappointing that the comedy elements have become repetitive and just not as good, for example it was hilarious when the strawhats were bullying Carue and it was a joy to follow those more comedyish "filler" episodes but lately you're mostly waiting for the main story to develop because I at least don't find most of the interaction between the crew members that funny, interesting or "fresh" anymore. That sounds pretty negative but of course I love the whole marine and pirate and void century and poneglyph and blackbeard and doflamingo-type things and in my opinion the overall plot is extremely interesting and promising in general. In fact, that's the main reason for me to watch the show and I don't regret it, it's still my favorite manga(ToG I prefer over it though). If I was following it just for the characters... Hm, there's actually not that much competition, One Piece is head and shoulders above every long-running shounen manga/anime that I can think of. Something like Grisaia no Kajitsu still beats it handily in that department, though, and I really shouldn't need to pretend that the OP characters are better than they are just because I like the show. | ||

There is such a thing as "Very good", "Not as good but still good", "okay", "average" etc. Trying to imply that the only way to be a "true fan" is to be in the negative spectrum on different aspects of something's quality is just asinine.Yeah, in general if you like everything about something you're not being objective and are in a make-believe world instead of seeing things how they are, there's no perfect manga / anime / book or anything.

But Shiki can only make things float that he touches, so even though he can make that huge rock float, I cannot see how he could levitate the ship. | ||

Yeah seems a bit like Vivi. But I have a feeling we'll see him fight as a toy, get wrecked some more, then suddenly he'll get un-toyed and wreck face. Like. Wreck. Face. Well I can hope. The more I'm reading the setup, the more it feels like Doflamingo isn't going to be a 1v1 with Luffy. Already thought he'd partner with Law anyway, but probably gonna be some critical interference by Soldier-san. | ||
