Okay - so the current storyline should end up with them getting the ship upgraded but what happened to all the abandoned storylines

I.E.

"Dragon"
"Black Beard Pirates"
"The Pirates Meeting"
"New 7th Sea being named by world government."
"Buggy Pirates"
"Shanks meeting Whitebeard"

Etc. etc. etc.

I think there is going to be some sort of storyline involving a huge pirate meeting/tournament, but the Author keeps dropping hints then not doing anything about it...

Anybody else have any comments?
