User blog comment:Neowitch/Worst Story Arc/@comment-3986064-20120607105901

I loved them all, I can only make a top of best arcs in OP, but of worst arcs, I'm not gonna do that... SIMPLY BECAUSE NONE DESERVES TO BE WORST!

Also, why so much hate on the Fishman Island arc Neo? It had awesome fights, Poseidon, IT HAD JINBE. Otohime, Tiger, Arlong, seeing him in the past, getting beat up by Kizaru was really nice and all his hate was finally shown where it came from. Not to mention that I finally saw for the first time, just what the SH are capable of after the TS. Elephant Gattling... Red Hawk... pretty much seeing a mountain getting beaten up. Yeah, Sanji and Jinbe are insane. And most importantly, the thing that shocked me the freaking most... Hody's reason for his hate towards the humans... that was simply...mind blowing...

And at Skypiea, you could always think about the best parts of it. I mean the dials. The dials seem to be... something totally epic, their use in the real world could be undescribable. The clouds were also really awesome (loves the clouds.. so fluffy). Then there was ENEL! When I first saw the power that Enel had... it scared me... that huge ray of light falling down from the sky...damn freaking scary...yeah, there's also Enel and his freaking INCREDIBLY EPIC FACE FAULT!!! not to mention the freaking epic battle that he had with Luffy! And Enel, I mean Enel... he was the strongest character whose powers were fully shown before reaching Marineford which was way later and it was one of the most full of fight arcs...

Just because of Enel and the introduction of haki I'd rate it higher than what you said Neo, the priests seemed overrated, but they were damn strong. The fight for survival was also awesome! A game out of the life of 300 and more people! Enel's prediction too! Wiper... damn bastard was incredibely strong. Then there was the arc maxim, powered by electricity and able to... yes.. TO FLY! >_> How many flying ships exist?

This arc... Shiki's ship...<_<... I think that's about it. Then the freaking final moment of skypiea... that is beyond criticism... in my opinion it beats the endings of all other arcs until now... that bell, the hopes of 2 entire races put their hopes onto one single man. And that man defeated even God and rang that bell... then he even showed down on earth a message that IT WAS IN THE SKY ALL ALONG! Truly the most emotional moment from the whole series.. Ringing of the shandian bell...

Should I start with the other 3 arcs that you mentioned Neo as well? =_= You're too pesimistic. Since for the storyline to follow a logic pattern and to include all points, to make all freaking character remarked and to get us attached to all of them, Oda has to write a lot of what you'd call "meaningless" things. But those boring moments are what make One Piece unique, the casual moments always lead up to the great fights and great events and to the accumulation of powerful feelings that allow us to freaking enjoy One Piece!!!
