Funny Story, I got into One Piece because I assumed that it was just an enjoyable Comedy Gag Series.

 

I was never thrown off the Art style or Animation because I always thought that was it's own flair for it's comedy/light-heartedness.

 

However, The more I watched it, the more I realised how deep and compelling the story/characrters were (this realisation became apparent to me by Along Park arc). The more followed the series, I began to understand that this was a work of Genius. 

 

I didn't even know One Piece was a shonen (after reading about 300 chapters) until someone told me .....that's why I think OP is really Unique compared to other shonen.

I think the only other shounen that can rival One Piece in its weirdness is Gintama.

All I can say to newcomers is: Give One Piece a chance to at least the Alabastia Arc. Last summer, I started rereading One Piece from the start. Kind of weird to see One Piece's beginning again after, what?, ten years when I've first seen it on TV. It didn't really get interesting to me until Sanji's Intro which is around Ch.40 I believe. Even though I've seen the episodes already, reading the arcs in manga form was so entertaining (and I'll prefer to stick with that tbh). It's hard to put it down once it gets exciting.

I mean, whenever I talk to others, people always say that Naruto has better art... BS, if you ask me XD I was never a big fan of Kishimoto's drawing style in all honesty. I sincerely love the art to One Piece- it suits the atmosphere of this manga.

With that being said, I'm looking forward to catching up with this manga this summer.

Who in here has reread One Piece from the start? Or how did you guys catch up with One Piece?

Are you reading OP, trang?

I'm on a Hiatus right now. Catching up with One Piece can be a drag when you get to a slow arc. It's hard for me to stay consistently on a manga for weeks when I'm in college. Right now, I'm on Ch.309 right now- I read the majority of them over the summer last year. Some kind of pirate competition b/w Luffy and someone else that I'm not really interested is going on right now in Ch.309.

I get the feeling I know what and I feel like the next arc is a major one. Great one in fact. The moment that told me, "This is great writing........"

Yeah, I'm aware of the fact that Water 7 and Enie's Lobby are the next big arcs. If I'm not mistaken, I've watched both of them years ago... The German dub back then, stopped airing One Piece on the regular channel with the end of the Enie's Lobby Arc. And yeah, that's how I kind of forgot about One Piece for years, until I've decided to pick up One Piece last year again to have something to read after the end of Naruto (little did I know about the kitten ending expecting us).

I'm not completely oblivious to what is going on in One Piece. My little brother tells me things here and there. I sometimes watch clips on youtube from the Dressrosa arc or the Marineford Arc out of boredom.

I personally enjoyed cause it was hilarious like hell and its short enough. It gives one great Luffy nami moment.

Any time Ace gets panel time you're supposed to be like unless he was snuffing it, then isn't nearly expressive enough.

Nah it's not the end.
He will rise and kick doffy ass in the next chapter or 2.

[TouKen4Life3g]

I assume spoilers are out there? If so, I wonder what's the drawback of Gear Fourth.

at least it wasn't one way fight.

I don't see spoilers but yes, you're right.

Well, I don't know what spoilers Luffy saw, but I Naruto, lol saw spoilers where Doffy kick Luffy's ass with his ultimate move, but Luffy nails Doffy with another move above Gear 4.
