Lack of character development? Are you kidding me? That's what One Piece would be the best at from all of these big shot mangas. The best current example is Brownbeard, from a simple pirate that we all hated before the TS, with all the beating from CC and his betrayal, you really feel something for that poor bastard with his miserable life. Throughout the series there are examples of these things. Another great one would be Hannyabal who fights for justice until the end, even if he's facing our damn protagonist Luffy head on. In each cover story of One Piece, the character which the story follows is one of the former antagonists henchmen/crewmates/friends etc and we already start seeing them in other lights. Croc who tried to kill Luffy 3 times, saves him at Marineford. Seriously, lack of character development? Maybe lack of that since One Piece's dialogue which contains sometimes casual stuff is one of the damn reasons for character development. Different laughing styles for characters XD. That's how Oda preoccupies himself with EACH character.
