I'm meaning that the hunt for One Piece and the conflict between the Revolutionary Army and the World Government are two plot points that aren't.... I guess you could say local.

Hunting for the treasure is a bit more than just a single island's problems, and the Army vs Government thing is similar in that regard. Both of these issues or goals seem to be the "big picture" of the world they live in.

From what I remember it seems that most of the issues plaguing the various islands have to do with someone in the World Government being a jerk or the balance of power being messed with, and to me tearing out the roots would be more interesting than just trimming the weeds.

I guess we are diametrically opposed to one another in regards to what makes One Piece great or exhausting which is good, otherwise the world would be incredibly boring.
