I'm worried about the amount of a power growth in the SHs Post time skip. Based on the War we are transitioning into that DBZ phase of power ups. (or already have been). I just want Oda to avoid the Majin Buu/GT brand of power ups =/
But oda does deserve the break. In all the time of me reading OP i have never heard of him taking a break longer than a week. And he often takes that time to research.
So its well deserved. But i think mainly he wants to take that time to work out all of the plot holes. I don't think he has the New World as figured out as he did with the first half of OP.
