User blog comment:Gourd Roger/Dressrosa Arc - Candidate for... The Longest Arc Ever?/@comment-1595565-20140821160110/@comment-10543621-20140822070411

I see no indication from the blogpost which suggests that he's making it seem like a bad thing that the arc is long.

Anyway, I do agree, this arc has been pretty exciting, and I think it serves very well as a gauge for the strawhats in terms how they are going to fair as an influential pirate crew in the new world. No complains whatsoever about the length, and with all the numerous unresolved stuff mentioned by AWC below, it doesn't seem like the arc is ANYWHERE close to ending.
