>>1849404have you even read the manga? i notice you're shitting on the anime and its shitty pacing, just read the manga; they've finished the arc and now they're at Zou.
>2-3 episodes TOPSthey cant do that, the show will catch up to the manga way too fast then they'll have to make some bullshit fillers that nobody wants
>THIS PACING TERRIBLEthis i can see you're point, i've caught up to the manga and watch the show and ti can see why you're saying its slow, but you have to realize that the animators for one piece need to be a certain distance from the manga in order to have good pacing. If they're far away, yea they can fit as much information as they can into the 30 time slot. but if they're too close, (such as in this situation) they need to fill the 30 minute time slot with jokes, gags, and 20 seconds of back and fourth close-ups of face expressions.
Right now, they're so close that they can catch up withing a couple months with the pacing you want; and with Toei's lack on detail in their animation it would be even faster.
Oda only has 1-2 days off a month, and with the show catching up i'm sure hes under a lot of stress because his fans want more one piece.
>"Devil fruit awakening"i was reffering to Dofflamingo when he /sploiler/ turned buildings into string and used it against Luffy. Luffy hasn't awakened his devil fruit yet
