Re: Spoilers for One Piece

Oooh. Actually I can really see why that theory would gain traction. So basically it's that Crocodile is a trans guy who went to Iva to be turned into a genetic male? I do find it kind of strange that Iva would know his "secret" (whatever it is) given that Iva is kind of a one-note character and most of their stuff seems to do with sex change stuff.

I'm like pretty positive this is probably not what Oda intended, simply because I don't have faith in Oda imagining a trans guy as being a bad-ass grizzled character like Crocodile, he seems to be pretty fond of "men are men, women are women, and people who act outside of gendered norms are comic relief" ideals, but this would be a super cool plot twist.

Time skip? What did they skip to and why did it all go downhill? (See what I mean? Intense canon! When people mention "time skips" I just want to curl into a ball. I already get enough confusion in Mortal Kombat fandom with that shit. x___X)

As the last arc before the time skip concluded, the Strawhat crew was scattered around the world, each kind of feeling like they're not ready for the second half of the Grand Line. Luffy had, for the first time, failed in saving someone he'd set out to protect. He got the message out to his crew that they would meet up again after two years, and continue their journey. The timeskip skipped those two years, which each crew member spent honing their skills and becoming stronger.

As for how it's gone downhill, many of the Strawhats' personalities seem oversimplified since the timeskip. Sanji is practically a walking lech/no homo gag. Zoro barely ever laughs anymore. Robin doesn't really get to do anything interesting a lot of the time. In my opinion the plot has gotten a lot more boring, too.
New female characters who are central to an arc suffer from Nami face (look up Shirahoshi and Rebecca) and tend to end up needing to be saved. The amount of fanservice has increased, and some of it is really iffy: for instance, there was a bodyswap plot wherein Sanji ended up in Nami's body and promptly took advantage of the fact to fondle Nami's boobs. Smoker ended up in Tashigi's body and unbuttoned her shirt despite Tashigi's objections because he apparently can't not wear an open shirt.
