User blog comment:Luffydumbpoopmonkey/TOP 5 BEST ARCS AND TOP 5 WORST ARCS/@comment-3507581-20140320204422

I don't see your point on the 'worst arcs ever', but let me enlighten you because I read the manga.

1. Punk Hazard: Being the first island the SH encounter in the New World, don't expect getting inmediately excited before seting the foundations for this second half of the plot. The introduction of some characters like Caesar Clown, who despite all the flames he gets directed at him, he's an example of how science can corrupt people as shown with his arrogance and twisted intelligence, and Vergo, who can show to the audience how a supposed hero can be cruel and a two-face. Also, the reintroduction of old ones like Law -the most popular supernova barring Luffy and Zoro-, who has shown a startling connection to Doflamingo and being a rightful figure on most of the PTS-plot, and Kuzan -likewise, the most popular marine before the timeskip. Let's not forget the undeniable revelations like the location of Aokiji and Akainu's duel, Doflamingo being a broker, and the 'worst generation' new status of infamy in the new world, without counting Zoro and Sanji's mastery of Haki. Ah! And Kin'emon and Momonosuke, whose apperances can foreshadow Zou and Wano!

2. Fishman Island: I can concede about Hody, but this arc basically shows the SH's progress in order to survive the New World. But more importantly, Shirahoshi being the Ancient Weapon Posseidon -as seen on a Poneglyph on Skypiea-, the story concerning the Sun Pirates, the introduction of Big Mom, foreshadowing a climatic battle of the future, Jinbe being offered a spot on Luffy's crew, Akainu and Blackbeard's new status, and Luffy believed to destroy Fishman Island. All of this can tell us about the future with enough detail.

3. Dressrosa: Doflamingo is insane, but you can see he needed some explanation and fleshing-out about being the King of Dressrosa, and his unholy ways of taking over and ruling an entire country through lies, as well as being  the captain of his own crew whose members have style and insane powers. Also, Sabo couldn't stay out of the scenes and was finally introduced, ending with all the myths about his identity, similarly to Koala. Also, the Dwarves finally have a proper introduction and Viola and Rebecca are sad, and perfect females -also being so sultry! Let's not forget Law's foreshadowed past and Issho, one of the 'Greatest Military Powers' in the New World.

4. Syrup Village (Kuro for you): Now this one is strange: one of the first arcs in the entirety of One Piece? Come on! You should already know about Usopp and the Going Merry, as well as Jango! And the equally undeniable fact about the 'myth' of One Piece, which was confirmed in Marineford by Whitebeard.

5. Baratie (Don Krieg): Similar to the previous one: strange how one of the first arc can be set aside despite the impact such as Sanji's introduction, and Mihawk's one, which doubles as a wham chapter since he showed us about the dangerous people in the Grand Line, and Zoro learned it the hard way.

If you don't share my arguments, it's okay, but at least don't criticize every arc just with one or two lines. Remember how Odacchi has to work in order to shape the One Piece we all know and love.
