"Damn, Wano was so fucking long, time for a quick lore heavy arc with no stakes before we switch to the next big arc"

The small arc: 😭😭😭😭

It's honestly insane how lore dense this arc is while also being very long

I mean, more or less every chapter has been a bombshell

i think oda very concretely decided he going to start gearing towards the end of one piece from the end of wano. that was our last big "okay let's introduce a bunch of new interesting shit!" arc of the series. it's probably why he 180 backtracked on having people like yamato or carrot join the crew. because he felt like he would've be able to give them enough screen time to do the character justice AND wrap up everything in the time frame he was comfortable with.

everything since then has been clean up duty. every loose end gets tied up. lore bombshells we've been alluding to for the last 20+ years. we're just getting banger after banger after banger now because oda's, for lack of a better word, no longer holding back. this is the END GAME.

And when it isn't a more bombshell it's an emotional bombshell like this one

This was me and suddenly there was a summoning circle and a demon spider monster appeared, exploding the head of one of its "allies" because it looked at it

It has never been mentioned that Egghead will be a small arc. Shorter than Wano for sure, but still…

It was never stated by any official sources but most of us just assumed for whatever reasons

Egghead brought Wano's waterfalls

And Oda skipped a whole storyline in this arc (defeating the clones)
