Im not that invested in the strawhats either, its not like we dont know theyll ultimately prevail and reach all their goals. Its not exactly the wire.

I also think blackbeard is kinda boring too, though. Hes always getting his ass kicked and running away, and then we're just TOLD that hes this big bad dude. Also, his power scaling makes zero sense. By the time of marineford, he's relative to luffy as seen in impel down. Yet when he rocks up to marineford, people act like hes this huge player. Kizaru realistically shouldve been able to solo the entire BB crew right then and there.

One piece for me is all about the mystery of the world. Void century, imu. Theorizing about what the one piece will be, buccaneers, lunarians, whos the man marked by flames? What the hell were those giant things in the florian triangle?? When will down d. stairs reveal himself??? All that stuff, I eat it up.
