Why it's so boring and slow? Should I continue?

drop after enies lobby atleast, also use one pace

To answer your question more definitively without spoilers. One piece is seperated into 3 major phases. The first phase is considered the straw hats journey into the world as they are introduced to many locations and warlords of the sea. You also get the introductory saga were you learn the backstories of the main characters. However this phase is often the most episodic for that reason because its primarly just focused on the straw hats journey across the grandline.

The 2nd phase how ever you start to see the larger world of OP open up, there is MANY more moving pieces and characters that evolve and return creating a larger multifaceted narative that keeps things fresh and interesting but ever evolving.

The final phase is where years of preparation and build up of lore, mythologies and world building start to form an apex where everything seemingly connects into a grand finale where all the plot threads combine to create the climax of the 25+ year long journey. Every journey every place you have encounterd will all tie into that ending in some way. We are now currently in that final phase in the manga.

Well I can understand that the series at its core is an adventure series and oda often at time stretched out specific arcs, especially in the anime with its added padding, if you do stick with it how ever you will notice a dramatic shift in the plot progression. In most case scenerio though if you have watched 200 ep and still don't find it to your liking then one piece may not be for you.

i literally can’t understand why people say this. do people forget Crocodile, Bon Clay, and Daz Bones being majorly important later on? or Arlong’s ties to Fishman Island? or Ace chasing Blackbeard, who gets revealed along with Doffy, Kuma, and the World Govt in Jaya?

how tf are those NOT connected to the story as a whole? 💀
