Not the best but I like to draw anyway

There exist multiple One Piece communities dispersed on the internet, in no way this is a complete list of these, just the shard I became aware of over time:

• worstgen forum https://worstgen.alwaysdata.net/forum/
  • yes, there is a Cesar clown fanclub in there
• arlong park forums https://forums.arlongpark.net/
• oro jackson http://orojackson.com/ forum once existed 2011, but was erased from history. Internet archieve still preserves it though.
• thriller bark seems to be orojacksons child https://thrillerbark.com/
• then there are individual creators out there
  • https://thelibraryofohara.com/
  • what is this madness https://birdsofherme.wordpress.com/2023/11/29/one-piece-11th-theory-the-man-marked-by-the-flames-who-keeps-the-last-road-poneglyph-was-a-former-warlord-contains-spoilers/#more-2679
• one piece reddit / discord
  • the reddit community is filled with cosplays of Nami/Boa/Yamato and more (Buggy cosplays are best though /s)
  • discord has some smart mods who debate on Powerlevels
• one piece communities on lemmy or the fediverse, like this one
• many youtube-channels also have their own discord groups.
• neocities corners exist as well, perhaps many more: https://parkaction.neocities.org/onepiece

The variation in community size, interests and topics discussed is astonishing. Once these forums become to big, they transition in content: from fanart to long elaborate fanclub post to theories to power scaling to posts (perhaps sometimes devoid of meaning).

I wanted to show you there exist multiple decentralized community islands outside of reddit r/onepiece monopoly 🌴🏴‍☠️🏝⛵. If you know of any other such forums, or want to share criticism of these, you can reply in the comments. #onepiece #onepiecefandom #analysis

I've been watching One Piece with my kid for a long time now and we've bonded over it. So far, no other Anime has captured their attention and love like it. But we're episode 700-something and this shit will not end.

I enjoyed most of the show up until now.

1. The storytelling has become straight garbage. There's more drama and ridiculous backstory than actual story. We spent 30% of the episodes watching depressing backstory (or old clips) that ultimately just serves as filler. It's just an absolutely ridiculous world where nothing makes sense even within its own rules.

2. Each episode drags and drags and drags. There's no resolution to most of the fights until 12+ episodes after they began.

3. Devil fruit powers seem to just be reality warping in whatever way the writer decides. No limits, do whatever you want and it just is. I can understand some of it, but it just becomes too much in this arc.

4. All the characters are stupid. They behave stupidly and make the dumbest decisions. If it was entertaining, that would be something. It's just egregiously painful to watch it unfold.

Does it get better? Because this whole arc is an exercise in bad storytelling and terrible Anime.
