Most Disappointing Thing in One Piece

There is Cavendish !

I meant lately (so on the grand line), and Don Chinjao isn't a pirate anymore.
Well, anyone with a bounty over 100 Million who didn't obtain that bounty at the New World is technically a Supernova.
And if they are strong enough, then chances are that they would become allied to an Emperor anyway. Whitebeard, for example, had 40 of them.

That doesn't make much sense. So Shanks, Kaidou etc.are supernova?

Supernovas are just rookies with bounties over 100M, they don't necessarily have to earn those bounties outside the NW.

If by the time they were rookies, they got a bounty of over 100 Million, then yes.

Well, if at rookie level, you were unable to obtain such a bounty, then you're not really going to become a serious threat.
That or you became a Warlord, like Crocodile or Hancock.

Blackbeard didn't have a bounty even after decades of pirating.
It can be done.
Not everybody wants a massive bounty on their head, for various reasons.

That he did, after a eh fair amount of time without a bounty yet at the same time scarring future yonkos.
And he became an Emperor too. :ninja:
The thing is, if you are currently a strong pirate in the New World, then chances are that at some point, you were either a Supernova, a Warlord, or were involved in an alliance with an Emperor. The average NW pirate is not that strong, and considering that the ones who have been doing serious shit in the NW during the timeskip were the Worst Generation, then I guess a strong pirate who remained his own boss, but started his/her career slow is a rare thing, even rarer than strong bounty hunters.

I would most certainly agree with those statements, wholeheartedly.
I was just disputing your definition of a supernova is all.

I always wondered why the most powerful people are either Marines or Pirates (or revolutionaries). Anyone can stumble upon a powerful fruit, anyone can have the potential to reach the power of an Admiral. Yet every strong character is connected to a faction.
Fujitora being a civilian who just happens to be extremely strong doesn't seem weird to me, it's Oda finally touching the issue. Of course he too is now labeled a Marine, but now we know that there are a few people in the world who are up there, but simply didn't take sides so far. He is basically a retired Rayleigh - minus the big history. It could be that Fujitora's past is explained or hinted at in the future, but personally I don't need an explanation when we consider the character he is based on. Being pulled out of thin air is his thing, he was an unconspicious gambler prior to the conscription.
His reputation as a monster could easily stem from the 2 year timeskip.
I know you're probably refering mainly to "top-tiers", but there are tons of far-above-average fighters not aligned with either of those 3. The Ryuguu princes, Dalton, Chaka and Pell, Galley-La, Kinemon, the non-pirate and non-revo Colosseum fighters. . .I know they can't even dream to duke it out with the top-tiers, but these are dime a dozen, honestly.
-
exactly, ton of differen't characters, all who are strong in their own right. Tons in the dressrosa arc…Rebecca, Kyros, King Riku, Blue Gilly, the king punch king,(king punch lived up to its hype)..just the show's main focus is a pirate who wants to be the king of pirates..so its gonna focus more on pirates and marines..we still know very little about revolutionaries.

Yeah those are good examples in general, but none of them has the power to affect the worldorder. Enel is the closest we have seen so far, but can't be considered for obvious reasons…
And I say it again, Oda doesn't have to explain why specifically Fujitora is such a powerhouse. He is an old, blind gambler who is also secretely a master of the sword (with an overpowered devil fruit on top). He is Zatoichi drenched in One Piece juice. There is no need to reveal how he became that strong, the secret is part of the character. "Why is this blind bastard so strong? Where the hell is he coming from??" is exactly the impression he should give you.
-
Well I don't doubt Fujitora's strength because, when I first saw him I figured he was a retired marine from waaaaaaaaay back, maybe a former admiral, who decided to enlist again due to the terrible state the world has been plunged in.
But nope, he's a completely new recruit to the marines and even then has managed to land himself the position of Admiral. In like, only 2 years, or maybe even less than that. With Sakazuki as Fleet Admiral, I doubt that would have happened if he wasn't really strong or skilled.

Or they don't have anyone who could fit the job and he's one the best they could find.

I doubt that's the case. Sakazuki initiated a worldwide draft I think. I'm not sure if a guy like that would arbitrarily stick Fuji to that position just cause no one else could fit the bill. He trusted Fujitora's abilities enough to send him to Dressrosa in order to take out Straw Hat and Law, after all, otherwise he would have sent someone else. Doffy referred to him and Green Bull as "monsters on the battlefield" or something, which shows that at least they've built up enough reputation from fighting that others have commented on their strength.
Why would Oda even bother to have someone be an admiral if they weren't pretty strong in the first place?

If you do a world draft and you can't find better you take what you can. You aren't going to throw away 2 8's because you wanted 2 10's and your VA hardly make a 6. When you HAVE to increase your strenght you take the best you find rather than stay stagnant out of stupid pride.

Why wouldn't he be able to find strong people out of a world draft, though? Are you saying the only really powerful people who can exist in One Piece's universe are people we've already seen, or people we already confirm to exist?
Again, as I said earlier, why would Oda do that? What would be the point, from a story perspective, of having an Admiral who just wasn't up to snuff? The Marines are supposed to have gotten stronger and more of a threat since the timeskip, which Jinbe implied when he talked to Luffy about the changes that had taken place. Getting an Admiral that's not as good as the previous ones, just because "there isn't anyone better" goes against this idea. From a story perspective, it wouldn't make sense either. Admirals have a clear role in the story due to the inherent weight, authority, and danger that comes from their position in the first place. Also, I just want to point out, Fujitora's shown plenty of his strength so far. The dude's plenty tough.

Is he?
Or is it just your minds playing tricks?
Fujitora's greatest victim thus far were Zoro's sun glasses.
And even if Fujitora's strong, what does it matter? He isn't strong enough to make a difference.

I always got the impression that's more due to his choices and his character. Guy summons down meteors and takes a blow from Doffy like it's nothing. Oda hasn't allowed him to go all out yet, because whenever the guy has a chance to battle it always gets cut off or cut away by something else happening. We aren't even seeing his fight with Sabo right now.
Sooner or later Oda will have to show us a full, proper fight with Fujitora instead of dancing around a proper fight scene. It's been like that for everyone this arc, but I expect it's just cause Oda's setting up the pieces for the final plays of the arc. Once all the players are in position, I expect to get the full length fight scenes and Fujitora's as well.

I don't, honestly. I can't neither say I've been impressed by his powers, especially with how useless his meteors are (leave it to Oda to make cataclysmic event feel underwhelming).
Any fight of Fujitora would at best consist of him trading blows with Sabo, with neither getting significant advantage. It's more probable he will just be written off until the arcs ends.
The moment Fuji gets a proper fight is the moment Fuji is made irrelevant. Because proper fight would not end with him winning. And, obviously, if someone was beaten once, he can be beaten again, so he carries a much less threat.
-
For me, it's the entire East Blue arc. I know that sounds blasphemous but hear me out.
It's hard to recommend One Piece to my friends because it's a series that has improved over time. I love this about One Piece, but in order to get to some of the better arcs, you have to read through volumes of content. It all ends up being worth it in the end, but now that I'm out of school and most of my friends are working, they'd rather allocate their time to something with less investment and equal pay off. Again though, this is a personal thing for me and there's obviously no way that this could be fixed.

Strong? Sure( not sure at what level you consider someone strong but sure). As strong as Akainu while being from outside force of the 3 powers? I think the doubt is permitted. Especially when you see the level of the VA who are also categorized as top ranked fighters.
Them getting stronger doesn't mean the admirals are stronger( it is possible) It simply mean they made for the lack for the lost of three of their most precious force and more.
I'm simply saying Fuji doesn't have to be as strong as Akainu or Kizaru, not that he isn't.

Oh wow. I am so, so sorry. I completely misread all of your posts. For some reason I thought you were trying to dismiss Fujitora's strength altogether, but yeah I also agree that he doesn't have to be as powerful as Akainu or Kizaru.

Well if he got the admiral job I already consider him to be way stronger than the VA and he's strong enough to face the runnaway hype/baddass Sabo took for his visit on Dressrosa. So yeah when I see the VA( Bastille I see you) I consider him admiral-worthy.

The fact that Rebecca didn't actually get to fight, and instead just sat there all like "Weeeeeh save me". :|

Saying something you want to do, but not being able to do it is a quite common thing. Are you gonna call Robin disappointing once Luffy gets hurt again? She vowed that they won't hurt him after all.
-

The equivalent of that would be Robin giving up on fighting and pleading with the enemy not to hurt Luffy.
Right now Robin is actually fighting and trying to to what she said.
-
@God:

Yeah, kinda failed at that one, if I recall correctly.
She should have asked Piccolo for lessons…
-
Am I the only one who isn't that disappointed by Rebecca fleeing from Diamante? Her original intention was to get powers from the Mera Mera Fruit and use them to beat Doflamingo. Then Sabo eats the fruit in front of her eyes, and Luffy promises that in exchange for destroying her goal, he'll kick Doflamingo's ass for her. Rebecca now knows that she'll never gain her desired power, and that she has much more powerful allies surrounding her. Furthermore, she already fought Diamante in the finals and realized that he was way out of her league.
To me, it makes perfect sense that she isn't so keen on fighting anymore. I'm with you on not liking her character much and especially not the way the plot has treated her, but I cannot be that angry over what she did in this chapter.
-
Yeah, I saw nothing wrong with Rebecca's meltdown either.
Some people panic when push comes to shove, regardless of what they said before.
It's a natural (though unfortunate) occurence.For me, it's the entire East Blue arc.
Which is curious, because I thought East Blue was awesome in its own right and it hooked me in with no problems. XD
-
@MDL:

Again, it's just a personal thing. East Blue doesn't have the same weight that the series does after it. It's more of your average shonen adventure. I don't think it's bad, but it's definitely not as interesting as most of the later parts.

Three most disappointing things I can remember for manga
1. Was the talking Going Merry ship. It's a shounen with all supernatural stuff, but ship talking made me feel like I was a kid of 8 reading this kid's comic I remember how I disliked the moment.
2. Pell and the bomb which made me realize that dying in OP is pretty damn hard and that Oda really meant it when he said that he does not like to kill his characters but rather takes away their dreams. Aka defeating the villain isnt killing him but taking away his dreams and what not.
It is not that I like deaths of characters or something, it is about the general fear I believe I should feel when protagonists go into fight and what not. It is one of if not the most important aspect of why Game of Thrones is so popular, but this being shounen naturally changes that. Still even for shounen the way it has been dealt with in OP is not really to my liking and thus one of the most disappointing things in OP3. And last but not least was the moment when Usopp defeated the toy girl. Again I felt like an 8 year old reading the comic telling to myself: "You got to be kidding me right?" For me one of those "lame plot - Oda you can do much better moments"
So to sum it alll up. I love OP story I like the fact that it is light material I take it as such but on some occassions to me it feels as if Oda is targeting those really young readers too much. As OP was in the making majority of it's readership grew up and the story hardly did and on some occassions I do say to myself that maybe I am too old for this stuff and therefor the plot is not as great as it could have been idk 10 years back for me. Now I see some of the obvious flaws I could have not 10 years ago, now I dont laugh at some jokes which I definitely would have 10 years ago, but at the same time I am starting to appreciate some other moments, some other heavier topics and subtle detail which I did not 10 years ago.
All and all sometimes OP feels a bit too childish and those I guess are the scenes where I get disappointed
-

It gave a sense of representation to the sentimental value of our treasures. Maybe it reminded me of my old stuffed animals as a child and how I used wonder how they would think if they could.
I agree with you on Pell, he really should have died, just because really, how could he have survived? Also, I think that the whole scene with him soaring into the sky would have been much,much more powerful had he not lived. But hey,I love myself a good tragedy so I suppose there could be a little bias in there.

I wish Oda would go into Sanji's honor(?) of feeding anyone starving at sea. It was an interesting part of his character that was only used in his introduction, I mean there are more sides to Sanji's character than just his perversion XD

Eh it doesn't have the same impact as Gin though. But I guess you're right.
The next scene with Sanji giving food to the marines too might be more along those lines since they're technically enemies. But like what if the marines kinda walked away thinking that there would be no way pirates would give them food, but Sanji invites them over anyways? Instead of the one panel gag of 'ceasefire, give us food'

Since I feel like OP's gender-related issues are a moot point by now, I'm instead going to focus on the sameyness of each arc's structure:
-Luffy and crew arrive at an island/city where they spend some time taking in the bizarre sights.
-They encounter a pretty lady or an old man, who is probably a member of royalty, and learn about how he or she has suffered at the hands of Powerful Jerk and his appropriately numbered cronies.
-Powerful Jerk appears and does something evil.
-Aforementioned lady/old man gushes tears and snot as they beg for assistance. Luffy and crew agree to help.
-Crew 1v1s are slowly set up.
-Luffy punches Powerful Jerk.
-Crew 1v1s quickly end.
-Luffy yells really loudly and KOs Powerful Jerk.
-Celebration.
-Someone else goes for the tears & snot combo, and has a 50/50 chance of joining the crew.

The entire war saga averted this (very vague) structure.
And most of the time, there's a twist that changes everything, like Amazon Lily having the pretty lady and powerful jerk being the same character.

It's definitely not every arc, Punk Hazard is another notable exception (although Kinemon and the children sort of fill the imperiled resident role), as was Impel Down, but it's still a bit too frequent.
And Amazon Lilly was, in my opinion, hands down the worst arc in the series. As awesome as having a pretty lady powerful jerk was, the fact that she was defeated by love instead of the thorough ass-kicking she deserved brings us back to that super negative thing I said would be a waste of time to discuss.

Can't think of an arc that follows this vague structure since probably Alabasta.

Honestly, I still dislike Doflamingo's string clone ability. It from the very beginning when Doffy got his head cut off. It was a pretty lame cliffhanger, as it was pretty obvious the main villain of the arc would survive something like that, so everyone was wondering how on earth he could get out of this one.
There were plenty of crack and serious theories about this, and honestly I would preferred it now if it was Pica's stone clone. Not that that was a good idea either, but the whole thing should have happened in the first place, so I believed the Pica idea would have lead to it being forgotten and everyone moving on from this.
But then it turns out Doffy has some string clone ability straight out of nardo, and now here people are, thinking that maybe it wasn't the real Doffy that was Red Hawk'ed. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure people disliked the clone in naruto because it would lead to a quick write out of cliffhangers, like damage done to characters and so on.
And the whole idea doesn't even make sense. How can Doflamingo control his string remotely, to the extent of talking to Luffy from hundreds of metres away. Is he a string Logia? Is it haki? Is he calling upon the same haxness of the birdcage? Will Doflamingo start unraveling himself and twist himself into a Möbius strip to defeat Fujitora's inside-out gravity?
It's a pretty nonsense super power, and a pretty big stretch to imagine that Doffy has that high of strength. A bit like Birdcage, I guess.
And what was the point to all this? To have a cool cliffhanger? You could have pretty much avoided all of this nonsense.

And the whole idea doesn't even make sense. How can Doflamingo control his string remotely, to the extent of talking to Luffy from hundreds of metres away. Is he a string Logia? Is it haki? Is he calling upon the same haxness of the birdcage? Will Doflamingo start unraveling himself and twist himself into a Möbius strip to defeat Fujitora's inside-out gravity?
It's a pretty nonsense super power, and a pretty big stretch to imagine that Doffy has that high of strength. A bit like Birdcage, I guess.
And what was the point to all this? To have a cool cliffhanger? You could have pretty much avoided all of this nonsense.
Many people expected it to be a puppet of sorts, which ended up being the case.
The move simply fits with Doula Mongo's theme and ability.
Also, remember Ikaros Much's ink clone?
Same shit.
