I came with an unpopular opinion in east blue saga which was that arlong park was overrated and was just as good as syrup village, if you think that was too much then I have many more opinions here about alabasta saga

1. REVERSE MOUNTAIN - the worst one piece Arc so far, the only thing I found intresting was that straw hat finally entered grand line everything else was boring, really really boring

2. WHISKEY PEAK - a strong 8/10 it was great from start to end, majority of arc consist of Zoro vs bounty hunters which was great,vivy being a princess was great plot twist and this Arc ended with a bang with introduction of Robin. I don't get why people don't like this I liked it more every Arc in east blue except baratie, only bad thing about this is luffy vs Zoro which was nonsense

3. LITTLE GARDEN - started really great,I was really intrested in the island but after those bounty hunters invaded island, I lost intrest i don't know why. Mid arc

4. DRUM ISLAND - this is the arc which actually hooked me to one piece, backstory of chopper and the crying panel really made me feel something, i think this is what most people felt during arlong park also luffy saving the flag was iconic

5. ALABASTA - best Arc of one piece ( so far ) no doubt, changed one piece from 7/10 to 8/10 for me, it had best story,characters, villains out of all arcs yet great from very start since the intro of ace,sanji vs no. 2,luffy vs crocodile,war Between rebel and kingdom,usopp and chopper vs no.4 and so many others moments were amazing the climax ( last 20 or something chapters) were spectacular

I didn't know anyone hated Whiskey Peak. it's always brought up as one of Zoro's best scenes on youtube and I liked the zoro vs Luffy fight there because it couldn't even have that flimsy of an excuse for them to fight after that point. also luffy wins too easily after Alabasta anyway.

everything else sounds about the same for me.

Bruh, what's with the Arlong Park slandering!?
It's one of the best arcs in East Blue! S TIER
And what do you mean it's good as Syrup Village
Syrup Village It's one of the weakest arcs, it's not equally good as any arc, it's just weak, so as the pacing of it!

That's one piece for you some arcs will drop in quality but the next one will be a 10/10 but you never know peoples taste so some might even like arcs which most people don't like

For me the Alabasta Saga as a whole was a 9/10
and I enjoyed a lot of it

Actually I don't find anything that you said this time to be "unpopular opinions" - not that such things have ANY value whatsoever if they aren't substantiated by valid reasons as well (i.e. beyond how some random internet stranger FELT while watching/reading it). Anyway, from what I've seen online over the years regarding these arcs you've rated just now, the vast majority of One Piece fans (except maybe blindly fanatic Oda worshippers) feel the exact same way about them as you do lol.

But regarding you saying Arlong Park was on the same level as boring, pointlessly drawn out shit like Syrup Village - I hope you realise that noone's gonna give you a cookie or medal for seeming like an obviously attention-seeking contrarian lol. It just comes off as "trying too hard to be different/special/smarter than everyone else" (this new post was mostly an improvement though, closer to being a decent review - except the first paragraph which was cringey AF).

News flash - all art is subjective; name ANY work which YOU consider as your favourite, or even a universally acclaimed masterpiece that has stood the test of time; I can guarantee you that there are MANY idiots out there who smugly consider themselves 'different & special' just because they had the 'shockingly unpopular opinion' that "Berserk is on the same level as Sword Art Online" or something lmfao. So yeah, take this as constructive criticism, man: skip the VERY pretentious sounding "Wait till you hear what shockingly unpopular & 'different' thoughts I have THIS TIME๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ˜Œ" bit next time. Or not. I'm not gonna bring this up again either way๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝ‍โ™‚๏ธ

Btw if you thought Arabasta was good (which it is), just wait till you get to the GREAT parts of One Piece ๐Ÿ˜‰ THOSE 700+ episodes from Ep 225 or so onwards, till current one - except Thriller Bark & Punk Hazard - are the reason why One Piece is considered a one-of-a-kind, G.O.A.T tier epic. NOONE, not even One Piece fans, used to think so highly of it during East Blue saga lol. Or even most of pre-Arabasta stuff (like you said).

Anyway, hope you're watching the One PACE fanedit version of the anime wherever available - it's almost fully done from Ep 200 onwards, but unfortunately not so much for the couple of arcs that lie ahead of you. Still try it out - just Google 'One Pace' - for the Jaya arc that comes next : much closer to the manga experience, as they remove even filler MOMENTS from within each episode even๐Ÿ”ฅ. I'd say that especially from Ep 500 or so onwards, the pacing of the original anime is SO artificially slow (because Toei started to adapt just 1 chapter per episode, instead of 2) , One PACE should be the ONLY way one watches One Piece imo - or just read the manga in color.

Outside of the random Arlong Park slander I agree with everything. As a whiskey peak fan I’ve had conversations with big one piece fans who don’t even remember the arc. Yet for me it’s really good and I don’t know why it doesn’t get its recognition.

The real unpopular opinion is that Alabasta is overrated. It's a 6/10 for me. It started good and it's ending was good as well, but in the middle it felt too "stretched" for no reason, most of the fights too, and Vivi was way too annoying.

Up until water 7, only drum island can be rationally considered a good arc.

If Reverse Mountain is the worst One Piece arc so far for the reason that you gave, then it really wasn't that bad was it? Once again, Luffy takes the spotlight with his sheer stupidity but also his emotional intelligence by being able to bond with Laboon by making him a rival. Crocus' scenes with the chair when there is absolute chaos going on always got me laughing can't lie. But other than that, it really was just a setup arc. Not sure why you think Arlong Park is overrated and as good as Syrup Village but I definitely disagree.
