Surprisingly no, in terms of scale when it comes to One Piece the Marineford arc is still the power sealing of the series and that arc was several years ago.

Like what One Piece does instead of introducing a brand new powerful villain after each new arc, it will instead take time to set that villain up several arc prior, even if it takes years for Luffy to finally go up against that villain.

Hell some times Oda will throw us a curve ball and have a pretty weak villain power wise compare to the Straw Hats.

 

I find that pretty appealing honestly. It's cool how side characters, especially villains, remain viable for so long after they leave the story. Sir Crocodile is a great example, Luffy beats him like 100 chapters in, and 400 chapters later he's one of the most powerful players in the Marineford War with no apparent power-up. I much prefer fights being situational than being built around some arbitrary number.

The world building is the real appeal of the series though. 

For me the world building is half of the appeal, the other half being the Straw Hats themselves.

While there are some I like more then others, I still love each member of the crew as characters
