When i was young and i saw in One Piece that they burned the area that the homeless people were living just to make the place better due to a high noble visit, i thought this only happens in television. Now i know.

    The Olympics have this every time. Summits for the elite too if it's needed. What's a bit new here is how shamelessly it's advertised.

    It's been happening in the real world for a long time.

    There's all sorts of anti-homeless architecture out there such as changing benches to make sleeping on them uncomfortable, or adding spikes anywhere on the ground someone might seek shelter. We waste so much money and time attempting to make these poor peoples lives more miserable when all of that could have gone towards simply removing the issue of homelessness.

    The One Piece take on powerful people has turned out to be scarily prescient.

    Look up One Pace, they cut most of the filler out so that it turns 1k+ into like 600. Highly highly recommend, One Piece is the most rewarding piece of media for sticking with it that I've ever watched.

    it's a big ask for anyone so I'd recommend, if they're open to it, reading the manga up until at least the end of the Arlong Park arc. I'd make the argument that's the earliest point to determine whether OP is for you and continue the huge read/watch ahead.

    If it is, I'd encourage you to read in sections based on arcs and revisit your personal favourite arcs in the anime. The thing with the anime is it's mostly been weekly (limited budget and fluffing) so until the Wano arc (which has happened recently in it's over 20 years syndication), the animation isn't quite consistent.

    I have more to say but wouldn't want to overwhelm you but essentially it's small steps and you'll see what the fuss is about, especially since we're nearing the endgame.
