This is probably the most "0 to 100" arc ever since Sabaody.

Started with us hanging out at Vegapunk's island, having fun with the technology and such. A little under 40 chapters later, Luffy is face to face with all 5 Gorosei.

The best part is it doesn’t feel like it was rushed. Other series do shit like this out of nowhere and throw pacing out of the window but this insane escalation feels completely organic to me

That's a great point despite how quickly things have escalated it has never felt like it escalated because that's what Oda wanted but rather it makes sense for Saturn to go "This shit needs to stop, I'll summon the rest to get this over with". And that is just great and I love it

Yeah the pacing of this arc is incredible. Big reason why this is currently an S-tier arc for me.

I think what really makes the escalation feel so natural is that every new thing that happens almost is incidental to Luffy. The story never feels like oh NEW VILLAIN TO JUMP THE HERO.
CPO and Luffy were here to kill Vegapunk but then got captured triggering
Saturn and Kizaru to come, then Kuma being here is the result of Bonny. With Bonny revealing the failsafe in the Pacifistas setting off Saturn. Which led to Vega's dead man switch triggering. Putting the Gorosei on a time limit forcing the rest to join in.
Luffy and Co being here is almost incidental but their presence keeps the WG from accomplishing their mission hence the escalation of reveals that complicate their mission. All while Luffy's goal of stall and gtfo has remained shockingly simple.
This situation is a product of years of in-universe events not Oda throwing curve balls for the sake of shock. In fact the only domino he needed to set to cue everything else happening is have Saturn be present.

Oda generally doesn’t like to rush, not that anyone does but he takes his time. End of Wano was the only time I remember him rushing & I guess he felt he was writing the arc too long as it had been 4 years, could have used an extra year tbh…

I’m glad Oda’s back to not rushing though
