One Piece went to shit right here...

One Piece went to shit right here. Oda wasted 10 years on a gay ass ninja side quest that had no barring on Luffy's adventures.

Straw Hats could've skipped Punk Hazard straight to Dressrosa and nothing would change.

>that had no barring on Luffy's adventures
Said "ninja side quest" concerned with both Big Mom and Kaido, two people who possess Poneglyphs needed to reach the final island. Additionally, the New World is carved out between the Four Emperors. It's not like in Paradise where you can just journey from island to island, here you WILL rub up against one of the four major factions and either be forced to join one or fight them.

They had to defeat Big Cum and Kaidoo. Also need the poneglyph.

Luffy was literally already planning on taking both of them down with or without the samurai and with or without Law.

They fought a warlord, two emperors, obtained three road poneglyphs, acquired a crewmate in the process, awakened Luffys devil fruit and found Pluton in the process of assisting Kinemon.

I understand the gripes some fans have with Wano but calling the past 400 chapters of the series a side quest is ludicrous, the next stop after Wano is the finale

What part of any of that required Kin'emon?

based

baring* ESL
And objectively you're incorrect. Luffy unlocked Gear 5 at Wano, became an actual Yonkou, the Straw Hats got real battles, Pluton was discovered to be at Wano, 2 Yonkou were defeated forever bringing down the old era, Roger flashback, etc etc.

>baring
BEARING* you double nigger.

>Found 3 road poneglyphs
>Found an ancient weapon
>Became an emperor
>No barring on Luffy's adventure
Are you retarded?

What part of that required the samurai?

What part of his adventures required shandians, and giants and egyptians?

The part where the one of those poneglyphs is in a samurai nation while another is in an affiliate one, and the ancient weapon is also buried underneath the nation and he used a samurai army to beat the emperor.

How many arcs were shandians, giants, and egyptians around for again? How much of Luffy's adventure did they dictate?
And? You act like Luffy wasn't going to Wano to deal with Kaido anyway, why did we need all this Oden and scabbard garbage?

I wouldnt say defeating two yonkos were optional. But the way it was executed was a complete waste of time. Having the new world focused on mostly Wano was an awful idea. WCI was the only arc that sort of resembled Pre-TS kino because it had nothing to do with Wano but with the end goal which was Sanji and the Ponyglyph.

But that's the issue, the Yonkou system was established way back in W7 (with hints of it even earlier), the focus should have been on them and them alone. There is a reason why WCI was generally considered a good arc, while Wano isn't. Kaidou as a villain fell completely flat, and the huge build up that Big Mom had was completely wasted to give Kidd and Law something to do. The conflict needed to be far more personal, the back stories of both of them far more detailed, their characters far more developed. All the background crap that nobody gives a shit about, the scabbards and Oden and all that stuff, that time needed to be used to further establish these villains in relation to Luffy and his quest. Instead, it was used basically as an info-dump creating more plot holes than actual revelations.

Kinemon was unironically the best scabbard
He should have been the Vivi of the arc
But instead he had 8 drag alongs to wreck his purpose

If he was such a wild child, how the fuck did they get him to sit still and learn Poneglyphs?

>Luffy unlocked Gear 5 at Wano, became an actual Yonkou

he's still going to be weaker than shanks and akainu

just watch

luffy's biggest issue is that he has always lacked durability

SAD and alliance to take down Kaido.
Saving Kin and Momo who is crucial to winning the war.

kek true, one piece was so good and varied before this, then ever since it's been dumb as fuck.

Now tell the people why this took 3 fucking years to finish
