there they took back his character development an worse they tried to pass it off as character development. 3. The crew also trained during the 2 years and yet while initially they seemed like they had character development, they've either reverted back to their original non developed self or in Zoros case regressed even further back, in the beginning none of the crew was really the type to just stand around an wait or watch luffy fight an though they might have let luffy do luffy, if he seemed to be having trouble they would step up. Jump to years later and all they do his basically stand aside and let luffy take all the risk (passed off as trusting in their captain) but they didn't train for 2 years to trust him now did they, they trained to be able to stand by him and protect him because they already trusted him. Bottom line the show was always more luffy than the others but now it's pretty much pure luffy, luffy luffy luffy and it's as if the rest only exist when Oda wants to throw them a little side fight. One can try to argue luffy is different than other pirate captains but they can't argue the straw hats function just like other pirates such as the white beard pirates for example, simply because white beard didn't feel the need to fight every battle and his subordinates/crew members often went off to fight other pirate captains. Oh one last rant, the fight with that guy under the see (yeah sue me I don't remember the specific names etc) when they were crossing to the new world was ridiculous, Oda had a chance to give Zoro some shine but instead he sucker punched Zoro and pulled some crap with a devil fruit user beating a fish man in a water fight.

Yea. Why you still watch it... Sometimes i don't understand why there are so many people complain. Just sit down and relax and enjoy the story. Else be another Oda or some great animator before you all rant....
