** Cross himself. Where some people praise the fact that he has to rely on his foreknowledge of the world and tactical thinking to get by instead of getting some overpowered abilities (to the point of inspiring a FandomSpecificPlot, as seen below), others see him as an arrogant anarchist who does not care about how the chaos he sows will affect the lives of common citizens or the future of the storyline [[spoiler: pointing out his speech at the beginning of Marineford Misery where he outright tells Sengoku that he'd rather see the world in ashes than support the World Government's "carcass of order" (although Cross was experiencing an emotional breakdown during this part)]]. Though Chapter 1095: A World where You're Better Off Dead, where this sentiment is echoed, makes this sentiment a lot HarsherInHindsight. But the overall consensus among his detractors seems to be that, while he is correct regarding the WG's corruption and less than ethical methods being necessary to tear it down, he sometimes come across as a self-righteous KnightTemplar who never sees the wide-ranging consequences of his actions and seems to get way too cocky at times. Not to mention how he seems to have no regard to how he is messing up a chunk of the challenges meant for the Straw Hats journey as he keeps flipping the script to make it arguably too easy for them and reliant on his meta knowledge. But it can be argued how it's countered with the ripples that he inadvertently creates, but due to how much of them are happening at once, Kuma literally had to send Cross to somewhere to get strong enough to face the problems his actions have created without burdening Luffy.

* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Cross himself. So far, Cross/Robin, Cross/Conis, Cross/Nami, Cross/Vivi, and even Cross/Soundbite have been paired together by fans, with varying degrees of seriousness, despite the fact that the Cross-Brain has said that there won't be any pairings in ''This Bites!''

** The TDWS themselves are this too, as their existence in the story has been perceived as an overall mixed bag. Some people enjoy their presence and how they have helped the Straw Hats in several instances and had some legitimately good moments, such as Boss's fight against Fukuro. However others feel they are extremely forced in, and don't really have much necessity to be in the story beyond keeping up the animal companion trend. Which is also starting to become overrused, but the TWDS embody it the most, since while those like Su, Funkfreed and Karoo are acceptable given they are not only canon but are suitable to each character they tag along with. While it's clear their existence is inspired by the TMNT and especially the Dugong pirate crew seen in the Breed filler mini arc, the detractors still feel they are unnecessary additions.

* BrokenBase: Within the ''Manga/OnePiece'' community as a whole. Despite its flaws, many still think of the fic as one of the very best {{Self Insert Fic}}s ever written, and praise the way in which the authors manage to make even minor characters or filler arcs interesting. Others have criticized it for coming across as too moralistic, too long, or inconsistent in its logic (the SBS being a frequent example, with many believing that the Five Elder Stars or the World Nobles would have immediately sent Cypher Pol [=Aegis0=] after the first broadcast, considering he just indirectly caused [[spoiler: Alabasta to secede from the World Government and that Vivi (who is part of a family the World Nobles have grudge against) has joined their crew.]]
** [=CPAegis0=] not going after them is later justified because of Charloss, who (somehow) became a SBS fanboy, and he, as a result, is actively blocking [=CPAegis0's=] deployment on that task.

** The TDWS themselves are this too, as their existence in the story has been perceived as an overall mixed bag. Some people enjoy their presence and how they have helped the Straw Hats in several instances and had some legitimately good moments, such as Boss’s fight against Fukuro. However others feel they are extremely forced in, and don’t really have much necessity to be in the story beyond keeping up the animal companion trend. Which is also starting to become overrused, but the TWDS embody it the most, since while those like Su, Funkfreed and Karoo are acceptable given they are not only canon but are suitable to each character they tag along with. Unlike the TWDS who while have made contributions to the crew, have stolen the thunder in battles like Sanji’s fight against Nero. While it’s clear their existence is inspired by the TMNT and especially the Dugong pirate crew seen in the Breed filler mini arc, the detractors still feel they are unnecessary additions.

** For Cross's detractors, the HeroicBSOD at the end of chapter 82 was seen as long-coming HumblePie for his arrogant attitude. Though it’s debatable if what occured will fully humble Cross and stop being so cocky in his journey.
