Honestly, this isn't even the worst he gets up to where I've seen in Dresrossa. Punk Hazzard is. And that's what you're going to see next. It's so fucking obnoxious and is almost painful to sit through. Literally painful. Like, it was the first time I felt embarrassed watching One Piece. It was already metaphorically painful.

That's fair. And if anyone is following where they're at currently in the Anime, I feel like Oda really threw it in and just pulled out a pair of really cliche Shonen Tropes when he wrote himself into a corner during Luffy's fight with Kaido. It was like Goku going Super Sayian for the first time. Except back when DBZ was first in the States, every Shonen didn't seem to inevitably do that.

I haven't looked closely at it, but I'd also say the Anime is trying to pad runtime, because the New World does end up getting more filler than the Pre-Time Skip stuff, I think they were trying to lessen the danger of catching up so they didn't have to go to super extremes with filler (see Bleach, aka, the one that actually threw a filler arc in the middle of a fight), and they were already doing a chapter an episode before that.
