I... Okay. So, you stopped reading. I'll give you that. Nami, Sanji, Zoro, and Ace <--- But this statement is so untrue, I.. I don't even know where to begin. These characters are so important [Sanji and Zoro alone being 2/3 of the main fighting force HEAVILY featured in every single major battle with the exception of Impel Down/Marineford] and so very featured. Robin and Franky were the new guys- yeah, they had arcs that fleshed them out. Just like every other crew member. And then it evened out again. Hell, Robin and Franky's backstory arguably takes place in the same story arc!

It just seems weird and pissy to quit a series because your favorite characters weren't ALWAYS the focus of a manga with an enormous cast. I tend to think you are just hugely misinterpreting the secondhand information you've encountered- I mean Ace himself was always a minor character until Impel Down. He's in a few chapters, and some cover pages. The anime extended his participation with crappy desert filler, but he really kind of just came and went in the manga.

A sincere whatever- I just think you quit a damn good series for imaginary reasons.

Okay, I was apparently drunk with One Piece!Rage when I wrote that. I don't know. You get the gist, I'm sure.

Being part of the main fighting force doesn't mean the character is getting to do something worthwhile. Their stories weren't being advanced in any way I saw, so I gave up. They were bashing baddies and that was it.

When did I ever say I wanted those four to be the focus all the time? I said I quit because Oda seemed to stop paying attention to them altogether unless he needed an enemy's balls to get bashed in.

*shrug* I think I gave up on a series that was turning out to not be my cup of tea. And fans like you are just another reason I'm glad I left.
