Your complaints about One Piece are all very valid. But the problem is simply that One Piece was never made to appeal to people with your tastes. It is a very unique type of manga in which you get your basic adventure placed right into the middle of a huge world with multiple facets, both silly and extremely serious, going on around it. But the focus is always going to be on the adventure, and how the events of the world affect it and vice versa. You seem to simply be interested in the world building aspect sans the adventure, and I'm sorry but that part of the story is never going to be the main focus. You are simply not the kind of person One Piece is targeting since its story will never align with your tastes.

1)  I will reveal Uranus. I'm looking forward to seeing the final ancient weapon, but it needs to come at a sensical point in the story.

2)  I will Introduce Luffy to his father, and give them an intelligent conversation. How come? Luffy has never held great interest in his father, the man simply never raised him and left him in Garp's care (which, despite Garp's unorthodox training methods, was simply a normal childhood to Luffy.) He couldn't even match Dragon's face to his name until this current arc. Your priorities are not Luffy's priorities.

3)  I will stop reusing the 'peacful kingdom under an evil tyrant'  story model (Dressrosa / Alabasta) That's like...two story arcs out of 29. Maybe three if you lump Totto Land in there. But it's simply a common trope. Tropes are tools, they are neither good nor bad. Alabasta and Dressrosa are two different arcs, with completely different plotlines that have a few similarities here and there. They're not the same arc at all.

4)  I will stop dressing Nami like a playboy cover I'd say her current outfit has been pretty good so far.

5)  I will stop treating adult characters like children Have you even read this year's OP releases? Have you paid any attention to the drama that has gone down between Luffy and Sanji?

6)  I will stop torturing children, when it is not necessary, to convey my point. Uhhhh, what are you talking about? Sanji? He would not be who he is today had his brothers not abused him for being human.

7)  I will marry Sabo and Koala No

8)  I will reveal some of what happened to Robin during the two year gap. All in due time. The Revolutionaries aren't even relevant to the plot right now.

9)  I will cut down on exposition Like...what? Yes, we got exposition, because surprise, we began a new arc last year. Now is when we're starting to get the payoff.
