A   particular story inDragon Ball GTthat takes space on planet Imecka , while not the respectable by any means , exposes some major fault inOne Piece’sArlong Park arc .

The two stories really partake many similarity . And although never confirmed , bang thatGTdid in fact amount out three years beforeOne Pieceeven started is interesting and makes it worth search the two of them . drop the many failures ofGT , these comparisons uncover that Arlong Park would have do good from better and fewer villains and just a healthy dose of cutting .

Genevieve O’Reilly as Mon Mothma looks back on Chandrila during Leida’s wedding reception, edited with circular imagery.

Both series essentially detail a mathematical group of heroic adventurer in search of a enceinte gem , and by the sentence the Imecka and Arlong Park electric arc arrive along , their respective journeys are sidetracked ,   casting them into the throes of a despot who is exploiting people for money . However , One Piecetakes the atrocitiesGT ’s baddie   Don Kee commits to the next level . Don just kicks the good - for - nothing freeloader who ca n’t afford their snag into the streets ( while having his droids literally tear aside their evacuated homes ) . InOne Piece ’s display case , in addition   to really flipping the dwelling of his irresponsible victims upside - down , Arlong in reality kills those who dare make a charade of him .

Arlong Park ’s major problems   are that it has a large cast of absurd villains and that it ’s much longer than it needed to be . Although the former is a staple ofOne Piece , there are many readers who would prefer having more than just a few antagonists without over - the - top personalities who express mirth every other second . Arlong , and all of his henchmen , are just as absurd as the last , cause it difficult for readers who involve some seriousness to really wantLuffy and his bunch to defeat them . This is despite the fact that Arlong has perpetrated atrocious routine against others , which should compel reader to ache for his obliteration . Therefore , the electric discharge should have put more of a focus on his crime   like Nami ’s account with him   rather than the current events run up to the final battles . If   this had take place , then the discharge would have been much shorter — and more effectual as a event .

GTexposed these job by telling the same precise narration much more quickly ( it correspond to nine chapters if it were ever made into a manga as play off toOne Piece’s29 installments ) and by choosing a much more interesting baddie in Ledgic . Ledgic by equivalence is even more compelling in coitus to Arlongand most scoundrel inOne Piece — as he ’s stoic and fairly unemotional . And for those who feel as though he ’s too much like Pikkon , his battle against Goku lasts less than an episode . One Pieceis undoubtedly one of the greatest stories ever told in manga just by how vast its globe is and how unambiguously each part of this world is explored . But that history would be much more efficacious if the villains were not as pathetic and if it were n’t elongated unnecessarily as it ’s already quite massive . Although challenging , Dragon Ball GT ’s Imecka discharge is n’t better than Arlong Park ’s plot line , nor does the integral spin - off series come close toOne part . It just provesOne Pieceis far from perfect .
