I'm 100 chapters in. So far it's been nothing but "fine" tier. When are my socks going to get blown off?
>>282534010Arabasta
>>282534010fuck off we're full
>>282534010Alabasta, then Enies Lobby, then everything after will not be as good as before.
>>282534156Yeah, full of shit
>>282534010It's like a pack of beer. The deeper you get the more you'll like it. Trust
>>282534552They said that about Naruto too
>>282534010>he didn't like arlong arcare you gay or something?
>>282535646It was fine. Just...fine.

100 chapters is way more than required to see if you'll like a series or not. People usually say the Arlong arc is where you'll either fall in love with the series or not. People need to stop trying to force themselves to like something they don't.
>>282537060What if I read Arlong Park and neither loved or hated it?
>>282534010BTS:little garden, jaya, impel downATS:dress rosa, whole cake island, egghead
there's like 3 brands of arcsarabasta is the earliest big dramatic flavorskypeia is the earliest big adventure flavorparamount war is the powerscaler faggot flavorif you're a powerscaler faggot then you have to get like halfway through the series to get what those people like
One Piece goes from good to excellent exactly at this page
>>282534010It is what it is. Read something else.
>>282534010my rule of thumb is that if you don't like it by chapter 100 then you will never like it>>282537685you'll think the rest of the manga is fine at best, nothing more. continue if you want, but if you drop it you ain't missing much
>>282534010>When are my socks going to get blown off?When you realize you wasted your time on a dogshit shonenslop
>>282537913I just finished little garden. Wasn't even as good as Arlong.
>>282534010"The good", is 'soon'. You're still in the largely tame starting, very generic. By the end of alabasta, you've seen what the series is, going to repeat, time and time again. Like it, or run.
>>282534010I can't stand Wan Piss, but I’ll admit Skypiea was pretty great. Honestly I'd tell any reader to just stop there and treat it as the series finale.If you reframe it like this, the story feels complete.>Jaya = Lodestar>Skypiea = Mariejois>Upper Yard = Laughtale>Noland = Joy Boy>Calgara = Davy Jones>Wyper = Kid>Conis = Vivi (who visited the Holy Land as a child and acts as a guide)>Golden Bell and the City of Gold = The One Piece>Enel = Imu>God’s Army = God’s Knights>Gan Fall = Rayleigh>Snake = Red Line>Blackbeard = Just a random dreamer who pushes Luffy to chase the One PieceAnd that's it. The perfect ending. I seriously doubt the actual final arc or battle will top Skypiea anyway.
>>282537685If you didn't get excited as hell when Luffy destroyed Arlong Park and claimed Nami as his mate, I doubt you'll love the rest because those kinds of moments are what make One Piece great in my opinion. Arabasta, the next big arc, is full of that kind of stuff.
>>282534010bro... haven't you watched le epic Gear 5 in Wano arc? the flashy seizure inducing sakuga? the tiktok edits?
>>282537060>People need to stop trying to force themselves to like something they don't.b-but how am i going to fit in if I'm not consuming hype anime/manga like One Piece, Solo Leveling and Demon Slayer?
>>282542252The thing about One Piece is that you NEED to connect with the characters in order to truly enjoy it. It's not like other series that you can read or watch just for the cool-looking fight scenes or the “aura” moments. If you don't really like the characters, you're not going to like the series either.
>>282542805how can I connect with anybody if they aren't farming aura 24/7?
How long does it take to start caring if Luffy lives or dies
