or he getting captured in almost every important arc, saving his crew members after leaving them (nami, robin, sanji), sacificing his life expectancy etc... but i gotta admit the adventure feelings when the crew embark on a new island, or the background/upbringing of several characters revealed in one single flashback as a mean for development n information (poneglyph, Void Century, this give the whole story a history that didnt need a prequel to tell) not just empathy before death. It's not completely predictable if u dont think about fighting patterns or the path of a story arc since most story have the same compsition of intro,climax, n resolution. OP story can b outdated but given how old it is, like DB, it still enjoyable

I agree with how bad the art n how boring it is, up until now I couldnt believe how I handled the 1900s' animation, but honestly sticking with it until Water 7 when the politics kick in is kinda nice is it not? it makes u pay more attention to what happening in the background outside of the MC perspective, n yes OP did follow n resuse a lot of fighting patterns, like Luffy being defeated once before making a comeback,
