User blog comment:Gourd Roger/Dressrosa Arc - Candidate for... The Longest Arc Ever?/@comment-1595565-20140821160110

The lengths of arcs on average have been getting longer since the series began. And considering the kind of people it involves, yeah, this is going to take a while. You're acting like this is a bad thing. I can understand your comparison to Skypiea. That arc dragged a fair bit. But this arc hasn't dragged at all in my opinion. Every chapter served a purpose and wasn't there to just fill space. It might be long, but it's by no means boring.
