There exist multiple One Piece communities dispersed on the internet, in no way this is a complete list of these, just the shard I became aware of over time:

• worstgen forum https://worstgen.alwaysdata.net/forum/
  • yes, there is a Cesar clown fanclub in there
• arlong park forums https://forums.arlongpark.net/
• oro jackson http://orojackson.com/ forum once existed 2011, but was erased from history. Internet archieve still preserves it though.
• thriller bark seems to be orojacksons child https://thrillerbark.com/
• then there are individual creators out there
  • https://thelibraryofohara.com/
  • what is this madness https://birdsofherme.wordpress.com/2023/11/29/one-piece-11th-theory-the-man-marked-by-the-flames-who-keeps-the-last-road-poneglyph-was-a-former-war

I've been watching One Piece with my kid for a long time now and we've bonded over it. So far, no other Anime has captured their attention and love like it. But we're episode 700-something and this shit will not end.

I enjoyed most of the show up until now.

1. The storytelling has become straight garbage. There's more drama and ridiculous backstory than actual story. We spent 30% of the episodes watching depressing backstory (or old clips) that ultimately just serves as filler. It's just an absolutely ridiculous world where nothing makes sense even within its own rules.
2. Each episode drags and drags and drags. There's no resolution to most of the fights until 12+ episodes after they began.
3. Devil fruit powers seem to just be reality warping in whatever way the writer decides. No limits, do whatever you want and it just is. I can understand some of it, but it just becomes too much in this arc.
4. All the characters are stupid. They behave stupidly and make the dumbest decisio
