Unfortunately that heyday for the One Piece crew was around the Alabaster era. It's that middle ground where the most fun is to be had. The sweet spot for characters with such a power creep is similar to an RPG at the low levels they can't do much, and the high levels they are so strong they can just spam their strongest attacks.
This is more of a showcase for as many characters as possible getting their 15 seconds of screen time before the unsurprising climax. They're saying that thing that makes them sound cool (Zoro), or doing that attack that makes them look badass (Luffy), or trying to do both and failing because that what makes them an endearing loser (Buggy).Īt this point in the canon everyone is so OP that that the villain has no choice but to be equally overpowered although One Piece can do smart villain plots, they work better as a slow burn over a long story arc. Most of the movie seems to be little bits of fan service stitched together, rather than a satisfying story.
