This arc is top five AS IT IS NOW. And we're 13 chapters into it.:
- Introduced Fujitora fully (like Kizaru on Sabaody ; another very good arc)
- Added another race/species on which are based upon Usopps lies (epic forshadowing and writing)
- Whoever wins the Mera Mera No Mi is one of the most significant turning points in the series
- More stuff about Garp and Doflamingo
- A plan comes together and the start of a build up to taking down a YONKOU
- Toys are epic
- Three clear candidates for strawhat members (I think Monet is still alive so technically four. Don't believe me?

, some is out of date but my point still stands)
-Introduction of CP0 (could be very important)
-We learn more about the One Piece hierarchy
-Mystery of Doflamingo and his status ; makes us WANT to keep reading because we WANT to find out/figure out what his status is (possible ties to the Gorosei whom are also very important)
-Leaks information about another admiral
-We see Akainu again with Brannew promoted(potential EOS Admiral candidate)
-Staging point for Wano (possibly which has been forshadowed proving great importance in future)
-Mystery of Kyros
-Chinjao family adds increasing depth to the story and could be linked to Kaidou as you will see

-Introduction to another super rookie
-Ties into Noland (and Skypiea , is it possible the Tontottans are Shandorians relatives? What about Eneru? Has he returned?)
As you can see if Oda strings things together well he will have created possibly THE BEST arc in the history of all the HST
