ITT: Post your unpopular opinions
The Seven Warlords were better antagonists than the Yonko.

Not really. We've only seen 2 of the emperors in full force and both Kaido and Big Mom are better than Doffy. Blackbeard is still the best antagonist but he's an overlap between warlord and emperorhood but he's been active far more as an emperor so I'm counting him as one of the Yonko.
Owen Sanders
If you mention Yamato or Carrot you get a automatic range ban of 8 hours. Doubled every time repeats the same mistake.
We had a couple of good threads a couple of days ago that are slow and comfy because the fucking avatarfag was not around.
About the manga? I think Oda was forced to add Yamato and the Nika bullshit by the editors. Both are added without proper foreshadowing and seem made out to gather views or reads instead of adding to the story. The manga version of clickbait.
Evan Jenkins
Doffy, Moira, and Kuma were great. The rest are glorified allies (Kuma too but he had great threatening moments). Blackbeard is both yonko and warlord so he doesn't count.

Yeah fuckin' right. Croc was a dumbass who fell for Sanji's shitty trick because he couldn't recognize the voice of his own subordinate and then he kept letting Luffy live until it cost him everything. Moria was an asspulling machine, constantly getting new and convoluted powers to artificially suspend the tension. Doffy does the same shit as Moria too, completely overpowered to the point of not making any sense. How do you stitch together internal injuries without x-ray vision? How do you control the actions of hundreds of people without even looking at them by using strings when you've only got two hands? How come no one tries to burn the strings? How come no one can cut them but Luffy can snap them through brute force? Have you ever seen fiber where pulling it apart is more effective than just cutting it? Hancock sucked too, her whole arc was so predictable. The coolest shichibukai are the ones that don't get to do jack shit like Mihawk or Kuma where they show up for a little bit, flex, and then walk back out for a few more years.
Here's the real unpopular opinion: Ace sucks. He was cool at first, but he came off so pathetic after you learn that he was the son of Roger and he gave up trying to be king so he can work under his dad's old rival and couldn't make him king either before he jobbed to a tubby guy who was just coming to grips with his devil fruit power because Ace is a glass cannon and he's never heard of busoshoku haki or kenbunshoku haki in his life, apparently, even though he's a big time pirate who works out of the New World. He's also dumb enough to fall for an obvious taunt and then take a hit from Akainu instead of just reaching over with his devil fruit power to move Luffy out of the way or hit Akainu when he had his back turned. No one tried to restrain Ace or knock him out cold so they could just forcibly carry him off the battlefield and his death felt like dramatic convenience.
Oliver Cooper
Seven crew members was enough.
Parker Cook
Yamato will never join. Oda never wrote her as a new nakama.
Asher Parker

Blake Morris
I don't think gear 5/joyboy was an asspull, and I also think it was well implemented.
Ethan Thomas
Franky is great. Usopp doesn't exist anymore. Oda left Robin in Enies Lobby. Chopper sells goodies. Brook has a cool moment every 5 years and Jinbei is a waste of space.
It's all about Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Sanji really.
Julian Cruz
Marineford sucks
Leo Williams
Oda doenst know how the fuck to manage 10 crew members to add another one
Kayden Long
>then he kept letting Luffy live until it cost him everything
Early villains had the excuse of not knowing who Luffy was. Kaido and Big Mom still letting Luffy live after having captured him is just retarded
Parker Gomez
Jinbe will never be a real Straw Hat. His character has nowhere to grow and change and he has probably already peaked in terms of power. We have watched all the Straw Hats grow stronger and change as people, except for Jinbe - he's just an overleveled character that joins your party in the last act of the game. His character would've been way more memorable if he had sacrificed himself for Luffy at some point.
David Harris
Based
Evan Baker
What do you mean "sacrificed"? You mean like literally get himself killed for Luffy? he's done plenty of suicidal things before, but he won't die because he's just too tough. He pretty much has to be an exemplary physical specimen to compensate for the fact that he has no devil fruit power and doesn't use any weapons. If it weren't for Jinbei, every fishman would be a jobber. He is the only exception.
Liam Perez
Honestly, Law feels more like the 10th Straw hat than Jinbei
Asher Wilson
I don't know if this is unpopular, but Chopper has never gelled with me solely due to the fact that he is a reindeer. When I think of pirates, I think of tropical settings or, at the very least, temperate, and yet here is an animal normally associated with polar regions. Maybe if Oda had taken the opportunity to weave in more of that viking aesthetic he loves so much into Chopper's design, then he wouldn't feel so out of place. Chopper wasn't even that cute when he was first introduced. It took a while for him to stop looking so frumpy.
Y'know what I would rather have as an animal companion? A parrot. Where are all the parrots in this pirate manga? We've got two guys with monkeys, but no parrots?
James Nguyen
Blackbeard peaked as a Warlord (Banaro, Impel Down, Marineford)
He still hasn't done anything as a Yonko yet.
Jonathan Bell
Post-timeskip is, sum of its parts, better than pre-timeskip. Individually, on a case-by-case, arc-by-arc basis, it is worse but as a total work it is stronger.

What sense does that make.
Logan Young
op said unpopular opinions, not incoherent ones
Logan Fisher
in the case of big mom wasnt she going to execute him anyway?
and kaido made it a focus to try and break his spirit to recruit him because its literally his favorite thing to do
Adam Davis
With Kaido you can excuse it because he's the kind of guy to beat the shit out of people, then offer them a job.
With Big Mom it's inexcusable though.
Juan Green
Series would've been better off without Sanji, if a Straw Hat ever has to die in this series it should be him
Noah Smith
I feel like Yamato doesn't really work as a Straw Hat.
Instead of being introduced to the audience organically, she was thrust onto us in the middle of the Raid.
Her backstory's nowhere near as tragic as something like Brook's, Robin's, or Chopper's, so we have way less attachment to her.
Her entire personality revolves around wanting to be someone else. Instead of having an actual personality but still being similar to whoever they inherited the will of like Luffy, Yamato's personality is nothing but her will.
She's a Mythical Zoan? Luffy has those too.
She has ice powers? We already have Brook.
Jaxon Ramirez
The series would lose more if Sanji died than if Zoro died.
Anyway.
Nami is the one that should die.
Daniel Thomas
We'll never get a crew this kino again.
Blake Wood
>What sense does that make.
kinda true,
highest highs, and lowest lows.
doffy was more threatening than Kaidou and G5 is an anticlimax in contrast to G4
Mason Howard
A real drawback of One Piece’s scope is that these characters were all deeply integral to Luffy’s life for like two and a half years of published story only to basically never be thought about again
Oliver Sullivan
It's a big ocean. But Bon Clay will be the bonus final crewmate.
Joshua Perez
Magellan is Yonko tier.
Jayden Fisher
Buggy will be important soon and be claimed as as a threat on the same level as the Yonkos.
Trust the plan.

You are okay user.
Parker Scott
Franky's Post TS design is good and makes sense in the context of the story.
Kevin Hall
Akainu is a fun character and I enjoy seeing him doing things
Mason Sanchez
>kaido and big mom better than doffy
yeah maybe in regards to strength level for powerfags but his character writing is far far better than big meme or toondo
Grayson Nelson
Thriller Bark is one of the top 5 best arcs of the series
Adam Martin
Sanjisister where is our girl getting Conqueror’s?!
Hunter Adams
Sengoku is based
Alexander Powell
Will they become deadbeat fathers like Shanks?
Xavier Kelly
Nah
Daniel Richardson
>Luffy
Yeah because he'll die before his kid can even walk
>Kidd
No idea; he'll either be one of those edgelords who turn out to be super doting dads or be single for the rest of his life.
>Law
Nope, Law will likely be the best dad of the group. He can always just settle down somewhere and become a doctor with a family.
>Zoro
Dude's dick will get lost on his way to the pussy and he'll never knock up whatever girl he hooks up with.
>Killer
No idea
Robert Mitchell
Punk Hazard is by far the worst post time skip arc.
>Final boss is a joke, knocks out luffy with a bs move and immediately eats it once luffy gets back to him.
>Fire and ice island except its pretty much all on the ice side
>Dumb gimmicks like the Freaky Friday shit lost its charm fast.
>Things that feel like they should be cool like Zoro killing that dragon just kind of come and go.
>Characters get introduced and fucking die like bird bitch or Virgo, which is really fucking weird for one piece in general.
>Caesar clown is such a monster for experimenting on children and getting his men killed, but he does us a few solids in the next few arcs so we just kind of let him go after whole cake lol.
>Pretty much all just buildup for payoffs later.
People harp on fishman island but at least it has something to call its own. Remove the stuff that isn't just setup for the next three arcs and theirs practically nothing.
Grayson Wright
>didn't teach Luffy advanced CoA
>didn't teach Luffy about advanced CoC
>didn't teach Luffy about Awakening
>just barely mentioned advanced CoO
In retrospect, he really half-assed his job as a teacher.
Luis Peterson
So we know that Ushimaru isn’t Zoro’s father, but he’s definitely still related to him in someway, right? Unless this is a Kuina and Tashigi situation.
Jace Jones
You forgot
>Didn't even train him for the full two years, says "he taught him everything" and just kind of leaves.
Ryan Cook
He taught him the basics of haki and went to fuck Shakky. Can't blame him for wanting to go back and hit that a few more times.
Oliver Miller
This will never not feel wrong.
Juan Jenkins

What did you want the Straw Hats to do, call the marines?

the timeline doesn't add up
there's only one person who was there at the right time and it's the chad incarnated himself
Parker Bailey
Foe some reason i can't see jinbei as a strawhat but he fits perfectly in the impel down crew, this is still the best crew of the series btw
Luke Rogers
Gear 5 makes Luffy all white so he looks like a cartoon from the 30s but this is how he would look without that filter, because Nika was a lunarian.
Prove me wrong.
John Gomez
nami should have been aryan
Levi Moore
Bonney is the exception
Gabriel Hughes
white pilled nika angered the CDs, which led to the lunarian genocide.
Isaac Turner
Is she an elf?
Nolan Hernandez
Is camie a strawhat? Luffy said her and hachi we're his nakama before punching the celestial dragon
Tyler Thompson

Hudson Perez
I don't understand how Luffy gets stronger. Other shounen have the characters actually train and get better between arcs but Luffy just goes from barely fighting Katakuri, to getting one shot by Kaido, then getting 5 shot by Kaido, then fighting Kaido equally. How did he get strong when all he was doing was getting beat up?
Bentley Adams
haki blooms in the heat of difficult battles.
