The Egghead Island arc of One Piece was phenomenal from start to finish, and although not a major arc similar to the likes of Wano Country or the Paramount War, this arc gave fans more than they had expected. Fans had expected a rather slow-paced arc, given that it was the beginning of the Final Saga, and they were utterly surprised when Oda chose to raise the stakes through the roof and delivered a nerve-wracking arc from the start.
