I honestly prefer the story until after Impel Down arc. It felt like Smoker was making the difference that he wanted, but its hard to say that now. With most of the characters and places in the New World having been decimated by Blackbeard, with most characters and their homes being dead or destroyed, it feels like if he had done nothing the world would be fine. It doesn’t help that little was shown of what he did during the timeskip, so all I can say for certain is that the world is worse off having had him in it, which kind of makes the story and his goals feel worthless. Sure not everything is worse, but most of that is before Impel Down. I do wish I could give the story more, but honestly after the recent chapter where the Roger, Redhair, and Whitebeard pirates as well as the Mink Tribe all die for basically nothing, I can’t rate it higher.
