I really don't get the Skypeia hate tbh. I guess in retrospect in comparison to later arcs it's not all the crazy, but I really enjoyed it in the Anime at least. *MAJOR SPOILERS TC*. I think it gives a good sense of scale for the overall world given that he fights someone who claims to be and acts like a god only to later on realize how small scale Eneru/Enel is in the grand scheme. First introduction to Haki, some interesting fights, the start of the Merry's end, and some cool/funny moments (Ussop accidentally popping out right in front of Enel, apologizing, and shutting the door is such a small but weirdly hilarious standout moment to me, even as far in as I am now.)

IDK, I liked it. I'm almost done with Whole Cake rn, and as of now I'd probably rank the major arcs:
From Best to Worst IMO:
Impel Down/Marineford
Albasta
Dressrosa
Whole Cake
East Blue
Thriller Bark
Water 7/Enis Lobby
Skypeia
Zou
Fishman Island

Sure, Skypeia is technically in my bottom 3, but honestly the only arc I think is legit not good is Fishman Island. Fishman is a fucking slog, but every other arc is pretty damn solid IMO.

The standout is Luffy's song in Skypiea. Probably the major reason to watch it. Its so freaking funny.

The anime chose the perfect music for that scene

Knowing how to use the body the way he does, the gomu gomu no mi is definitely one of the fruits that you really need the mindset for. His ingenuity is what makes the power dangerous on higher levels. Without his guts and ingenuity, Luffy wouldn't have been able to beat Croc.

If hes so weak hows he a warlord

The Grand Line scales. The further you go in, the stronger people get and because of how wild and dangerous it is, you end up getting phased out by the stronger pirates and marines.(and environments). Crocodile basically went and stuck himself in a weaker environment. Its like a lack of exercise...

he basically relied too heavily on his devil fruit because most of his opponents weren't strong enough to worry about. Its not like another Warlord level character was going to come and dominate him and most people don't want the hassle from a warlord.
