For me the most underrated arc was punk hazard

it was so good, however caesar clown wasn’t the best of villains and I thought vergo/monet were much better.

it really cemented law as one of my favorite one piece characters with moments like law vs vergo and law vs smoker something about an island that was half on fire and half frozen was so cool to me

For most overrated,it would have to be alabasta

don’t get me wrong there were Great moments like ace introduction and Crocodile, who was such a great villain and luffy vs Crocodile is still one of my favorite fights

but man I felt like I had to force myself to get through most of it especially when they were just walking through the desert that was so boring to me also vivi really annoyed me the whole arc

overrated WAS wano, but fans are finally seeing its faults and not praying or ranking as higher so my pick now is Reverie for overrated.

for underrated I say punk hazard, it sets up tons of stuff with vegapunk and the weapons underground dealings.

yes it take luffy one punch to beat ceasar but technically cesear did beat him once and there were ton of great fights like law vs smoker or law and smoker vs vergo etc.

it gets hated on more cause it seems like there running alot but I don't think there running that much and the pacing is just as bad most post timeskip arcs.

The most overrated arc currently is Skypiea which is funny because I didn't think I'd say that a year ago.

I also think that Drum Island is the most underrated. Chopper's backstory is so good yet barely brought up.

For me most underrated has to be Amazon lily, I genuinely love that arc it’s so much fun, and then I think because of how great marineford is, I think impel down is also underrated.

Just realised I didn’t say over overrated hahah for me, it would be dressrosa, I still really like it, but I don’t think it’s close to being one of the best in the show.

Overrated - Fishman Island. It's my second least favorite arc in One Piece but it's still not bad

underrated gotta be amazon lily that arc was so fun. overrated is definitely dressrosa though. i dropped one piece for like 6 months because of how kind numbingly slow the arc moved and how long it was. what happened in a single day took me like 9 months to finish. the animation was poor even in some of the scenes it should have been great and the general dialogue and direction felt off. one of the main reasons i dropped one piece to an 8 honestly.

Underated: Skypiea

Liked Enel, extremly funny and iconic scenes, really important to the story (inclduing Jera with Bellamys, Doflamingos and Blackbirds inteoduction and the topic of dreams getting more and more important).

Overhyped: Dressrosa

Only good thing about it were Doffy and Corazon in my opinion, other than that it just felt like a lackluster repeat off Alabasta with some really good scenes like Usopps (I absolutely love everything of One Piece so by no means I think Dressrosa was bad). Also the pacing in the Anime was horrible during that time.

In my opinion

Underrated Arc: Drum Island

Overrated Arc: Sabaody Archipelago

Chopper’s backstory was amazing and Wapol isn’t the best villain but still solid and serves his purpose. We also get introduced to DA CHOP.

I’ve seen a lot of people say Sabaody was S tier when I first read One Piece and then I got to it and it was really underwhelming. The rest of Paramount War was peak but Sabaody just wasn’t it for me. It’s still good but not amazing. It did introduce Bepo though who is my favourite post time skip character besides villains.

Underrated was Amazon lily. Amazon lily just isn’t talked as much as other arcs but it deserves way more love. It was a really fun arc. You had luffy literally rizzing up all the girls in the island and also the introduction of boa hancock who I thought was a pretty good character with her backstory. Not to also mention the first time we clearly see luffy using conqueror’s. This is also where you first got to see how luffy will do without his crew and how much he really needs them. I love the mentions of them during this arc.

Okay I know this will be controversial to say but overrated is marineford. As much as I like marineford, it didn’t live to my expectations to what people were hyping up as number one arc. I thought the fighting was gonna go insane. The fighting was basically a bunch of clashes and the fights just weren’t that fleshed out as I wanted it to be. But it’s understandable cause I’m pretty sure oda wanted to save how some of the characters fought for later. But even now we are still getting offscreen fights and it still sucks. I really hope the final war makes the fights more fleshed out.

Underrated I personally don't know but overrated (not bad, it's a fantastic arc) Water 7/Enies Lobby.

I have seen a lot of times how fans hype this arc/Saga up when new people are close to it and then the expectations are too high for new fans/people to reach.

So it's not exactly that Water 7/Enies Lobby are really overrated but they get overrated by fans who hype this two arcs too much.

Arlong park overrated as hell thats fosho but drum island underrated??? One of the worst villains in the series and and bad pacing. Couldnt even get sad for the doctor hiriloko or whatever he forgettable. Also introducing the worst charactar in the straw hats. Worst arc in alabasta saga.

Saw someone say saboady underwhelming too?? Yall got the most atrocious takes. Top 3 arc right there

I disagree with your point about Law's backstory. Every single backstory in Dressrosa was so good that there they could've been single entities of their own manga. I do think Dressrosa is a bit overrated but for a different reason. I found the tourney to be boring and the Tonttatas to be annoying except that one dude. I agree that Fishman Island is criminally underrated.

Fishman Island is underrated. So many people seem to outright hate it although I still liked it more than Punk Hazard. Skypiea is underrated too but that's a whole other can of worms.

Probably the most overrated arc is Skypia, people try so hard to defend it but it was just to long and not the best written. My personal must underrated arc has got to be Mock Town it was just done really good, and even know it was such a short arc I think it was really fun and perfectly paced.

For underrated I’d say skypeia but I don’t even think it is underrated by people anymore. For overrated I’d say marineford and dressrosa. Marineford felt too contrived and like Luffy had too much plot armour, all the enemies that could easily kill him would just take one swing then let him get away. Dressrosa I thought was just too long and introduced too many characters and plotlines that I just don’t like

First off , I really don’t get how ppl are saying alabasta is overrated, I thought it was truly amazing especially for that time (besides the explosion with pell, that was only that way because of 9/11 at the time)

For me underrated- sabaody/impel down, both get completely overshadowed by marineford but I think both arcs are just as good if not better.
Overrated- Enies lobby, hot take I know. I still have it as an S tier arc but definitely not the best arc of the series as many people have touted it to be.

Under rated - Fishman Island, I found the story it self and themes that it explored to be some of the most fascinating lore one piece has. The world building and setting were interesting as well as was the whole backstory of fisher tiger and otome. The whole theme of descriminatation and how the fish race really fit into the world of one piece as a race with different circumstances, ideal's and goals.

Overrated - By far ennies lobby, I honestly have no idea why this arc is praised so highly, it is about as generic as you can get to a shonen troppy arc in the story. Literlaly 80% of the arc consists of just generic 1v1 action scenes. Alabasta was more interesting because the stakes were a bit higher and crocodile's ambition held more weight. The only saving grace I think with it is the robins back story but that isn't enough to rate it as being the greatest arc in one piece. I guess it boils down to preferences to, im more of a lore/mystery world building fan then I am an action junkie, so I like things like Amazon Lilly, Saobody, Zoa and of course Marinford because it had the best of both worlds.

Deffinitvely speaking though if I had to select one arc in one piece that is the best in the entire series in terms of execution, plot details and over all pacing, drama and "set piece moments" that embody some of the greatest aspects of heroism and tragedy in the story would have to be marinford. But I don't know, the current on in the manga might eclypse it.

i heard alot of good things about dressrosa and im about to wrap it up and so far i gotta say its not as good as i expected tbh I also believe Little Garden is the most underrated arc tbh i absolutely loved it it was so silly especially especially the giants but i absolutely loved how it was a great introduction to the comedy and dynamic of the original 4:))

Skypeia is mad underrated. Had one of the best just plain evil villains in the show with one of the coolest abilities. It was a fun adventure that felt like something entirely new. Some people find it slow but I thought the story was intriguing.

Whole cake is overrated. I still love it and it has some very high highs but the anime butchered. Some episodes felt like nothing happened and it’s because half chapters were being adapted. Dressrosa and Wano have the same issue but whole cake just felt way worse. Hearing big mom scream wedding cake for the twentieth episode in a row and then see 2 minutes of luffy vs katakuri just got a little old. It’s a good thing that arc still has the second best fight in the series.
