Couldn't have said it better myself! Nicely done PX! Though I do have one thing to say - I doubt Ivankov is on par with Kuma, it just doesn't seem right. I believe Kuma is a great deal stronger than Ivankov, at least fruit wise.

This blog made me realize, One Piece has so much more in it than just the main storyline. It's really like a whole world which we receive information on bit by bit, what I can't really say about too many other animes. It puts everything in place, makes me wanna see the whole picture, makes me anxious until the next episode/chapter comes out. Also, unlike many other animes (with DBZ on top), the power hierarchy (of individuals and groups) is sort of known, it prevents the possibility of creating overpowered characters out of the blue, which is a good thing.
