Naval Battles

[SSJ2]

Would you like to see Naval combat expanded upon in One Piece? There is a lot of potential imo, although given the disparity between ship sizes, I fail to see a way to make it work. Take the following scan for example:

Spoiler

It’s hard to tell, but the SHC’s ship is the size of one of the tiny ships. In what possible way could they defeat Big Mom’s shi oictured behind? I can’t see it.. and I don’t like how Oda thought that through. If Luffy is to become Pirate King then he should be above any foe, but on the sea they would get raped.

This post has had little direction, but essentially while I’d like to see naval combat expanded on, don’t see it being possible.

I'd be more excited to see naval battles than any of the typical brawls the series has consisted of for a good while. It would highlight the story's theme of being pirate based, something that's been lacking for a good while beyond mere aesthetics, and would offer far more of a strategic mindset when it comes to fighting due to the risk for Devil Fruit users.
Despite that, I don't see it happening due to the power creep within the series as all it'd take would be a direct hit from a full power attack from a high or top tier to wreck almost any ship in the series, Kaidou's recent fight with Big Mom enforcing the idea of how brief and anticlimactic most naval battles would be. It would've been possible if Oda stuck with his initial plan of having the series go on for around 5 years, but with how inflated the power of the top tiers is now, it's not really an option.
