This arc is definitely going to drag. No arc is complete without a shit-ton of backstory, and there's so many we haven't seen yet.

Law's history with Doflamingo (and whoever this "Cora" person is)

Doflamingo's and his crew's origin

Dressrosa takeover (Donquixote's perspective, such as Diamante shooting Scarlet)

How Kyros met, and started conspring with the Tontatta

Maybe even more. But overall I think it's going to shape into a pretty nice arc overall. So many new characters, and new powers, and basically just a much deeper plot. Not to mention everyone's so much stronger and the stakes are so much higher, I'm getting goosebumps thinking of these fights. Of course Luffy's gonna probably take Doffy now that he's made his promise to Rebecca, but what of the execs? Cant wait.
