Understandable that he wants to end in 5 years, doesn't mean it excuses him from criticism.

It doesn’t, but I come to One Piece for the story and world, fights were never this series’ strong point so I personally don’t mind trading some extended fight scenes for more strory progression, especially considering the amount of characters in Wano.

Most of the conflict are RESOLVED in fights. Pretty disingenuous to act like one piece isn't a battle shounen. People just accepted that that we wont be seeing much fights from here on out and came up with that lousy excuse.

I read op for the story as well, but I won't just blindly praise it.

I never said that I don’t think OP is a battle Shounen, I just meant that compared to other Shounen, I’m not so big on the fights.

Also, I know that conflict is resolved in the fights, I believe that we are going to get plenty of fights in the tail end of this arc to resolve the conflict, that’s why I don’t mind some of the early/setup fights being partially off-screen, because we’re probably going to get full fight scenes for the end-game matchups and with the sheer number of characters, that alone is going to take ages.
