Why is One Piece not as good as it once was? Does Oda have writer's

The Zou arc was a good start

You can't expect every arc to be Oda at his peak

I'm gonna bet that you never read ennies lobby or alabasta one week at a time.

No, but I didn't read Fishman Island and Punk Hazard one week at a time either, and they were fucking bad. Dressrosa was an improvement but still nowhere as good as even Skypiea.

Eneis Lobby is the most overrated arc. Drum, Alabasta, Jaya, Skypeia, Water 7, Sabaody, Impel Down, Marineford, and Zou were all better.

How the hell did we get something good and go straight into shit

What's wrong with the current arc?

It may be years before best cat is back

Haki is a bit too prevalent, and its just endless arc after the next. There was no break after Fishman's long arc, it was right into Punk which led right into Dress and now we are right into a Yonko arc where the cast is split into two and likely will fail both tries.

I definitely think he has a block on figuring out how to progress Luffy's abilities. Like Doffy's Awakened devil fruit let him use the environment and turn it into string, but Luffy's seems less useful in comparison.

We don't even know what awakening is. We know what Doffy's can do, but not how it applies with other Paramicia.
