I am just going to come out and say it but this fight has ruined Elbaf which started out as a charming arc full of great set ups.We are back to Wano levels of dogshit where every week Imu, Loki or Luffy goes >This isn't even my final formThen does a big punch and the chapter ends on a "cliffhanger" where we are supposed to believe that whoever got hit is defeated only for next chapter to be 95% pages of side characters talking about how big that punch was and how CRAZY it is that the person survived it only for the last page to be another Big punch>RINSE AND REPEAT Also this shit goes on break every 2 weeks and I don't know what Oda does during his breaks, Usually when a mangaka goes on break, They come back like Togashi or Miura and the next chapter is jam packed with action or plot forwarding scenes, however for Oda, it seems that now he MUST use these break weeks to tweak his AI Prompts, chainsmoke and scratch his ass because Oda seems to be doing some personal experiment to make the most cluttered and sterile lined manga panels physically possible.
>>290300148ok but boruto is a piece of dog shit so theres no other manga to read oda has been drawing manga for 40 years and now he's tired. can you blame him for using chatpgt to write the story???? That's why he put Imu in here so imu can be defeated and the story can end faster
>Elbaf is now worse than Wanodude, at least Elbaph is fairly well paced, we spend some 10 chapters on luffy getting to the roof in Wano, it's nowhere near as bad
>>290300148>final boss>Blackbeard, Shanks, Koby, Akainu exist
>>290300148Its not the final fight
>>290300148It's underwhelming the past few weeks but you are mentally disabled if you think it's somehow worse than WanoElbaph is still easily the hightlight of post-ts One Piece while Wano is the absolute low point of the entire manga. For example we still literally have no clue how this arc ends while in Wano it was obvious from the start that Luffy beats up Kaido, who is a generic garbage villain, and this shit still took several years
>>290303355It is spelled ElbafAgreed though
>>290300148>Elbaf which started out as a charming arc full of great set ups.Elbaf was so boring I dropped just like I did Wano.
