After this week's chapter folks are complaining about nepotism being a major factor in the story, it most certainly helps, but it isn't everything.

>Luffy
Sure he is the son of Dragon and Grandson of Garp, but Garp didn't teach him about haki battleship bags/etc..... He was rather behind the other supernova's when he got to sabaody..

>Momo and Hiyori
Hiyori isn't shit wholesale, and Momo has no training with the adult body. Also their grandfather was was good craftsman, but didn't have much battle prowess nor did he educate anyone on the craft.

>Katakuri
None of Big Mom's kids are really that out there aside from maybe Katakuri and Cracker.

>Law
His parents were normal doctors, he climbed up on his own, and fell because he didn't have man power.

>Same with Kidd
Got pretty far, but he didn't have man power and fell flat.

>Caribou
he ain't shit, even with a good logia

Nepotism isn't as big of a deal as folks are making it out to be.

stop acting white, it's rather interestingly designed, and has the oddest worldbuilding in ages.

Go read Toriko if you actually want some "odd" worldbuilding.

Two years.

Only two years I will wait and give Oda chance to explain "Kurozomi was born to burn" after decades of speeches about how greatness and ugliness is made, not born into. Gomu-gomu fruit turned out to be this god mode fruit was bad enough to be the first strike and I will not stand for the second.

>Ace
Didn't get shit handed to him, Garp did a shit ass job of training him as well. No one taught him the haki basics before setting out in the world. He didn't even learn swordsmanship.

>Kurohige
lived on Whitebeard's ship for years, didn't get any special trainning and got a shitty glove instead. Had to scheme and plot to get everything. Honestly he could have begged thatch for the fruit, but still.

I only saw one, he didn't get shit. Should have at least had the haki basics before setting out.

Irrelevant. When that kind of words were said in the end of an arc, after the villain and their ideal was defeated, then it means it was the ideal that won the day and thus, the ideal that good guys fought for.

The only reasoning (cope) I'm willing to take is that the straw hats were not there when Hiyori said it and so they couldn't give the appropriate rebuttal. Plausibe fanfic, but fanfic nonetheless.

Has Garp been ghosting Sengoku since Ace's death? We never see them hang out anymore despite supposedly being best friends despite Sengoku's attempts to bait Garp in with new cracker flavors.
It wouldn't be weird if he holds Ace's death against Sengoku.

If wanting to engage to discussion means being redditor, you need to talk to more people and not someone from your bubble. Or worse, your own imagination of people should be like. It'll be my last (you) unless you have something to add.

Nepotism doesn't mean "good genetics" in the first place, and like you said most of them worked on their talents on their own at least at the start.

It makes sense if you're not low IQ. One Piece, since pre time skip, established that the show was about passing down your will to a new generation. The ones with the greatest wills of their generation would naturally be high achievers and people who accomplished a lot in their time.

Passing down your will has never been tied to genetics in One Piece though, and that still holds true in post-TS. Blackbeard and Momonosuke are probably the only sons who carry the will of their fathers, atleast off my memory.
