Even though Oda certainly is a very good story-teller, I find that his lines are sometimes lacking and repetitive. In some chapters, half of the lines are the characters shouting each others names and things like "WAAAAAH!!!", "OOOOOOH", "huh?" and "nh?". That's not very interesting to read and even less to translate (I have much fun translating One Piece into my own language) without it being very monotonous.
"Kurosaki-kuuuuun" …. Point made, off to bed I go woosh.
