Is One Piece Live Action moving way too slow?

Hi All - Wanted to hear your thoughts on the question.

I'm enjoying the first 2 seasons a lot, but I feel both disappointed and concerned about the pace.

In my view, Season 1 covered a good amount, although I think it should have gone all the way to Loguetown. I then expected Season 2 to wrap the Alabasta arc.

I appreciate the show makers covering less critical parts of the story, and definitely love having a dedicated episode to introduce a new crew member, but who wanted that many episodes focused on Drum Kingdom if it meant waiting another year to cover Alabasta?

At this rate, the show will require a lot more than the 10-12 seasons the producers have discussed, OR they will need to skip whole arcs, OR they will stop before covering the entire manga.

It feels to me like the current pace would be appropriate if we were getting 12-14 episodes per season, not the canonical 8.

Obviously, the above makes abstraction of the realities of production costs. But actors ageing, and likely getting more expensive as their notoriety grows, is another real consideration.

Curious if others feel the same.
