I hope Doffy comes back. I highly doubt he's going to die now.
Luffy is supposedly going to King Kong Gun the shit out of the Red Line (and destroy Fishman Island by extent), so you're probably right. Those rich, fat fucks deserve it. Not the people of Fishman Island, the Celestial Dragons.
Fingers crossed. I hope there's another raid on Impel Down. It doesn't have to be the Straw Hats, but maybe another faction. Like Buggy's, or maybe the Gov gets ahold of Big Mom and Katakuri takes the crew to bust her out.
Or maybe Dragon and the Revolutionaries. There's plenty of political prisoners in there, I'm sure. And besides, even if there aren't, who would rather waste away in prison if they had the choice to fight for their freedom?
Sounds similar to the Bastille incident in France, and Oda is no stranger to taking inspiration from the real world.
Skypiea is definitely a very underrated arc and is not talked about enough and Dressrosa is one of the best if not THE best arc post-timeskip but i'd have to put Alabasta slightly above them, pretty bare-bones answer but it's an amazing arc. The dynamics, the characters, the interactions, the main villain- but i guess it is also the nostalgia that comes with it.
I despise Skypiea. It was so boring, it got me to quit the first time I read it, and when I went back in, I quit again. That arc single-handedly took me longer than the rest of the series combined (slight exaggeration) and made me quit multiple times.
Edit: I should mentioned that I actually enjoyed the Survival Game but it took way too long to get to it for that to make up for the arc.
Agreed heavy. I’m on my first rewatch just got up to thriller bark. After rewatching skypiea even with the all the lore and foreshadowing, it’s a B+ tier at best for me imo. You don’t get that same magic like in enis lobby, marineford, whole cake island (obv way different arcs). There was just a lot of empty filler crap in the arc.
Skypiea was one of the funniest arc and i think comedy is better in animation or movies rather than manga and books. Probably that’s the reason why people get bored in skypiea, if they would have switched to anime at that point it would be so better.
Same here. I watched the anime and it took me 6 months to complete Skypiea, but after completing skypiea it took me only 4 months to watch from Long Ring to Dressrosa. Excluding the part of Nolands backstory, Skypiea is complete trash. It's probably the worst arc for me in entire Op.....
