... If I wasn't so stressed I'd probably burst out in laughter. Marine Ford Arc, the one arc so many people consider the best thing ever, felt like a side trip to him? Sounds to me like Oda is suffering from the same phenomenon many creative people do:
 * You produce something you think is absolutely awesome, no one even looks at it
 * You produce something you think is so-so but people are all over it
