One Piece: Did The Wano Arc Live Up To Expectations?
One Piece began its Wano Country arc way back in 2018 and it has since then continued to become the longest-running arc in the series, surpassing even Dressrosa. The arc sees Luffy and his alliance enter Wano Country in an attempt to take down Yonko Kaido and free the land from his clutches of tyranny. With powerful allies at his back, the heroes of the story challenge the supremacy of the Yonko in a life and death battle. As such, this arc was the biggest step that any of them had taken in their pirate careers and was, thus, hugely significant.
The majority of the Wano Country arc is now over, with the Straw Hat Pirates and their allies having triumphed over both Kaido and Big Mom. The Yonko have fallen and Wano has been liberated. While the arc isn't completely over, the biggest plot threads surrounding its story have wrapped up, meaning fans can now judge it for good. So, how good was the Wano Country arc?

The story was properly set into motion during the Zou arc which mentioned Kozuki Oden's story.

The tale of Wano is one filled with despair, loyalty, and hope for a better future.
