Wano is an arc that has to be carried by the action at this point if its gonna be Great. Zou (8) - Tons of exposition which is good, wish there's more personality to the minks aside from selective few though, skypiea arc: 5 (i'm sorry... it did have good moments though), amazon lily arc: 8 (i love boa hancock a lot), kuma did not "attack" on sabaody, he was pretending to attack but was actually saving them from kizaru.

Alabasta (8) - Ace's appearance is probably the best start of an arc ever, as it's not only cool, but deepens Luffy's story and our understanding of the pirate world.
