This story doesn't require a time-skip to keep your attention, and doesn't force any reason to have one.
AGOG I want to know…can your heart take what may very well happened within two chapters of each-other? A timeskip and Perona being nowhere in sight when Zoro reunites with the crew?
You'll be out of the forum as well, that's three heartbreaks in a row. And all the gloating I'm going to do will make it extra hard. I hope you're steeling yourself for this.
The development doesn't ask for assistance from a time-skip, nor is there any real reason for the author to instrument one at this stage in time.
World development, overcoming current power limitations, Luffy better readying himself to protect the crew, cleanly and clearly splitting the first part of the story with the second and better cementing it with passage of time allowing new arising factors to become embedded.
Time-skips are as monumental as any other "story devices" that are used by a talented individuals– believe it or not, many MANY uses of these have failed.
List them then.
One Piece, prior to judgment, is highly likely to fall into the "failure" department due to the pace that the story upheld throughout the whole entire series.
What the hell do you know about pace?
You're completely illiterate to story devices and structure. I'm not flaunting my schooling either, because so much of this is common sense gained from just reading alot. You seem to come from literary Mars.
The pace right now is absolutely perfect. We've reached the end of a segment of story, physically, structurally, and thematically.
The pacing you're talking about is what even?
The island to island adventuring?
Call me nuts but…well..gee, wasn't that pacing already thrown off??
My god it was! Since Kuma dispersed the crew we've been having a very different pace.
And this is fine. Why? Because this was the climax of the first half of the Grand Line. A story doesn't maintain the same exact pacing from start to finish.
This part of the story is over basically. When the adventuring resumes. Things will have begun again, there has not been continous normal OP events since Vol. 52. Tell me then what the timeskip interrupts.
Of course, there is "chance" in which it could turn out to be well-done, some way or some how. However, the coherence will start to weaken because the character's personality MIGHT have to change and his motives might be changed with them– something that usually ruins consistent, good stories such as this one.
There is absolutely nothing suggesting any of these things.
There is literally zero reason to assume these would happened.
