Alabasta was huge and they had no quick way of traversing so yeah the too long part is valid, but I don't really remember any "you thought I died" scenes except Pell, which they don't learn until later.
There was no scenes for that. It’s just that it looked like so many people died in that arc, but they didn’t! 😭🙏
Here’s my list that causes no controversy whatsoever (I put WCI in D+ because I found it boring and I hate Sanji)
L ranking just off that
Agreeable it is a very stupid ranking
WHY LONG RING LONG LAND THATS SUCH A GOOD ARC. syrup village really.
L ranking. YOU PUT CAKE ISLAND AND WHISKEY PEAK UNDER THRILLER PARK
Even little garden why that's literally the most important key for usopps character arc
My guy
JAYA IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE FOR THE STRAWHATS TO GO TO SKYPIEA. IT INTRODUCED BLACKBEARD AND NOLAN (THE LIER. XDD
reverie is a mid arc
But I guess that's your opinion there's no changing it
I thought Whiskey Peak was mid, but if you say that the canon filler that only has Aokiji's introduction as a goodish part called Long Ring Long Land is good. Personally, I kind of liked thriller bark because zombies. Reverie was pretty good just short and it was a good break from Mid Cake Island (I REALLY hate Sanji) Little Garden was boring and Jaya, I didn't like it either
Aight
Honestly, I love Thriller Bark!- it introduces Kuma, Has an epic Usopp moment, ANIMATION SUDDENLY GOT GOOD, and Perona showed up.. 😭🙏
I’m not on thriller bark yet since I’m almost finishing Water 7
What do you think?
