One Piece: slowest pacing ever?

The slow pacing helps make for a better story in the long run, why do you think one piece keeps getting better?

Yeah, but there's a limit before it just becomes too much. Did we really need so many pointless chapters dedicated to how Luffy, Usopp, and Sanji reunited with the rest of the crew after they became separated in the the Skypaeia arc?

Or for that matter, did any one really care about the history behind the giant golden bell and the two men who became best friends 400 years ago?

I did. The only thing that made the entire arc worthwhile.

You don't count.

NO U.

And my GOD Alabasta took forever! Maybe If they hadn't had a story arc dedicated to every little island, it would have been bearable.

Well, I found Sky-Island to be long winded in the long run. But, cydains history was important to the story, the only thing I hate about One Piece is the Flashbacks before fights and Vivi.
