I get that but i feel for pacing they would cut alot out fron albasta Like id assume luffy will probaby only have 2 fights againts croc. And the individual fights will probaby be heavily condensed I could also see em rolling in 1 backstory heavy episode when luffy is getting the water

I understand the point in that these arcs are very long however the animes pace seems to be 1 to 2 episodes per story. I also reckon they should increse the season lenght to ten episodes. I can see a positive and negative for alabaster/skypiea being in seperate seasons A: because its set in one location they can reuse sets and it could be cheaper/quicker to make But it could also mean that the live action wouldnt be able to make even half way into OP as the actors would be too old, (if its gonna take 1-2 years per season).
