The thing I appreciate about the arc is the massive scope of it. We have just about every major group we know in the series represented in some form: Marines, Shichibukai, Revolutionaries, 3/4 Yonko, Cipher Pol, and even Kuzan (mentioned only).

In terms of actual progress, there's not much weekly, but there never is with One Piece. But I don't get the feeling that "every other chapter is a waste". Only a few have left me feeling that, most obviously the one that's all about Hajrudin.
