What arc did you NOT like?

[SingingThroughTheStorm]

I am going to have to agree, adventure beats action.
I mainly WatchOP for the lazier scenes, and the adventure ones.
I am hoping after the War we will get some scenes of Luffy and Usopp trying to
fish from inside the bubble.

Why didn't you like the Arlong Arc?

[trappedolphin]

How are they poor characters? Marco has the only devil fruit of his type, rarer than logia, protected luffy, and would die for Whitebeard. Same with Jozu, his devil fruit is also very special because its very different from other logias.

Although I like Marco, I don't think having a cool devil fruit makes you a good character. I think the dislike toward Marco is partially due to him getting handcuffed so easily in the war. It made him look rather pathetic, although I barely realised that until I came here. XD

I want to see this. Shouldn't Zoro do it too, though? Since he likes fishing.

pffffffffffftttt... If there were no Yonkous, Marco would be the strongest, now that rayleigh is too old to fight.. he is at admiral level... Marco is above admiral level, but it is hard to hurt eachother cause they both have logias

Also.. Yes.. i wanna see Luffy laughing and goofing off in the bubble with the others .. question though.. Usually 1 chapter = 1 episode right? So how many episodes will the war be..

devil fruits are overrated and overused. remember east blue, when they were a rarity and pirates fought with their STRENGTH alone?

Protected luffy, as opposed to flying over and saving ace. didn't protect luffy from akainu, who SCARRED him, didn't protect him from the damage he took from the admirals and other powerful marines....

no no no, frickin' SQUARD would die for whitebeard....just about everyone in one piece would die for SOMETHING. doesn't make him a unique or even good character.

[Devil Fruit Tree]

I didn't care much for Impel Down, especially in the anime. It felt drawn out and I didn't really like the characters. The Buggy/Mr.3 filler in the anime was especially painful.

Those were pirates who wanted nothing but treasure. Whitebeard's kids shall i say, are unique. They all would die for one another. Also remember when Whitebeard said don't let Luffy die? He didn't say don't let luffy get hurt. Plus, Akainu is scary in general lol. HE IS UNIQUE. I mean common, so what if he could save Ace at anytime? He had to follow Whitebeard's plan no matter what it led too. Also he had to fight himself as well. No matter how strong he is, he can't ignore a admiral face to face with him and just go save Ace. (Also don't you think Sengoku would have attacked him if he flew over?)

[SingingThroughTheStorm]

East Blue was great. Arlong and his crew fought with strength. Gin would be amazing if he had the CP9 speed technique. Gin showed he had plenty of strength. He had very good control over those weapons, and they had to be extremely heavy. I really want Gin to be in the new world. One second he will be in front of you, next moment you have a crushed skull.

[trappedolphin]

Sorry, what do you mean?

I recently got a friend of mine to start reading One Piece. He felt that the Baratie arc was too long - probably the fight scenes. I never felt that way but I suppose the different opponents popping up did protract the arc.

[Silvers Rayleigh]

Sorry, what do you mean?

Oh lol, sorry. I mean his is unique, (referring to Marco) then.. said Come on to you.

[GumGumBattleAxe]

marco had a lot against him, true...but the whitebeards are not the first pirates in one piece that were loyal and friendly...and i suggest you reread east blue. not every pirate they fought were simply after treasure...

marco and jozu and the rest weren't given any kind of exposition; with the exception of volume 45, marineford is the only time you see them, and they're only fighting. no real connection with the reader.

thats true, and i completely agree with you. When watching anime (i don't think it's like this in manga, im new to manga).. When an arc ends i love the friendship, the sailing, and everything but you guys have to understand they ARE cool characters. Also in eastblue most pirates were after treasure, name one pirate that wasn't. For example: Gin was after treasure, he just happened to be in a bad position and ended up being helped.
Example: Shanks was a flash back so it doesn't count :D.

PROBLEM #1: being new to the manga. don't expect the best thing about one piece (the story) to be presented at its best both in pace and in art in the anime.

Arlong was about screwing everything that wasn't fish-man (hurting, not screwing...lol poor choice of words), Kuro was after 'peace of mind,' and Krieg wanted to be the pirate King...Buggy may have wanted simply treasure and I'm sure the others did too. But their goals were deeper.

[Crossword]

Thriller Bark. I didn't like how poorly it portrayed some of the Straw Hats, the Oars fight was dragged out and it ending with a Nightmare Luffy curbstomp wasn't cool either. And I find Brook to be rather obnoxious a good portion of the time.

Marineford felt so disjointed. I mean, I understand that there's no way to fully cover the huge cast there, but when you have characters randomly appearing and disappearing at the convenience of the plot with little justification, it's a little frustrating and feels sloppy. As someone else said, there was no chemistry. Around the time Whitebeard finally joined the fray I realized that I no longer cared about what was going to happen. I knew Luffy would get Ace off of the scaffold, I knew that Whitebeard was going to go under, but I just didn't care. I really missed the Straw Hats and their interactions and the humor and everything else. Didn't help that Luffy was stuck on repeat for the entire thing.

Oh yes, and that key asspull. Oda's better than that. You can bet that in 2060 when my grandkids find my One Piece volumes in the attic and ask me about them, I'll going to wave my cane and go ''I remember that in Vol. 57 that Chinese woman pulled a key out of her rectum for that Luffy kid with nary an explanation. It's been fifty years, and I've never forgotten the feelings of disappointment and anger I felt on that day.''

Whiskey Peak.

Only things I really liked was Luffy VS Zoro and the fact that it was the last time Nami was seen heavily drinking.

[Silvers Rayleigh]

Seems Davy Fight back and Thriller bark are tied up.

[Mantisk]

I can vote for Arlong and Loguetown, but not for Morgan, Buggy, Kuro or the Baratie?

And if most of the connected stories are even separated in single parts (like Laboon? What?!), why can't I vote for the Flying Fish Raiders arc?

There should exist the option NONE.

Sure, some arcs are far better than others, but nothing really bad, let alone hateable.

This.

[RPGJay]

I still don't see why anyone can hate the Davy Back Fight arc.

[GumGumBattleAxe]

I still don't see why anyone can hate the Davy Back Fight arc.

remember its not a question of hating it, just NOT liking it.

[SingingThroughTheStorm]

I have to agree with GumGum.
Not everyone was after treasure. I don't think we will see Kuro in the New World because he didn't like being a pirate.

I think the DBF was unpopular because it kept going.
It kept going due to how many rounds each competition had.

again, 3 rounds in the manga. read it, don't watch the anime there.
