The reason why I believe series should progress logically, is because if they aren't confined by a set of rules, then they just get out of hand eventually. This is one of the problems I have with DBZ. It is always possible to create a new set of enemies more powerful than ever before. It really takes the fun out of seeing all their hard work and effort when the writer can just decide one sunny day to create a being with powers beyond measure.

This is what I also like about One Piece, it is generally known who are the elite and most fearsome warriors in the world. It was introduced to us rather early in the series. We know that the top tier fighters consist mainly of the Yonko, Shichibukai and Admirals. We were also given the general power measures throughout the world - East Blue < Other Blues < Paradise < New World. That way, we have an indicator which shows how far our heroes are from the top tier fighters, give or take. Of course Oda could create some elite fighters "out of the blue" and give reasonable explanations, he just shouldn't overuse it.

For example, when the story is finally over, and Luffy probably becomes Pirate King, he will start returning to his home town in East Blue (or at least Laboon). When he travels to all of those weaker seas, finding an opponent powerful enough to even make him even break a sweat would be very unlikely. I'm really looking forward to Luffy beating the crap out of weaklings (compared to him of course) towards the end of the series with very little effort. That's what I want to see, progression! What did he train for in the past two years if a crappy cannon ball from a marine ship is still of any minor threat to him?
