About to start this 1000 chapter long manga. What should I keep in mind while reading it?
One Piece
It's a manga for elementary kids so dont expect much.
I’m at Skypiea. It is so slow. But my coworkers told me to get to Water 7 so I have to keep reading
If you don't like it by the end of arlong park just drop it.
I was mildly entertained by it as a kid, I didn't fall in love with it until the Alabasta arc climaxed and I had gotten a bit older to appreciate it.
Drop it at the timeskip, it all goes downhill from there, sadly. Just pretend it has a bad ending and move on.
It gets much better after the timeskip
this always comes as a surprise for the people that don´t watch it and wants to get into it, One Piece is NOT about battles.
if you liked as a kid you are going to like it even more now.
One Piece is about battles, they're dogshit though.
This
Just read it for the cute girls
Honestly, I think the anime is better than the manga in first few hundred chapters. The voice acting the music elevate the experience so much.
The anime is actually good until the time skip and then you switch to the manga
Skypiea is the best arc.
Keep in mind that the point of One Piece is to have a long and fun journey. Don't think about the destination until we get there in 6 years. Enjoy the art style and the character design and don't get involved with power-level faggotry.
Ignore the anime.
I know that someone's going to type every major spoiler here just to spite you starting your journey.
Don't rush yourself. Also early you will either hate or love the early chapters.
A thread condemning power level faggotry. I love this thread.
Read the colored version.
based trips never lie
The pacing is pretty awful so once you catch up wait 5 years to get more content you don't want to be reading this weekly.
But if he rates One Piece like that he'll think it's shit
OMG IT'S WHITEBEARD, I KNOW HIM! WAIT, IS THAT ROGER?! I KNOW HIM TOO! AND NOW THEY CLASH, OMG GODA GODA GODA
Watch the anime up to enies lobby, then read the manga.

do you think Kiku would get flustered if you teased her about her flat chest?
Probably not as bullying her giant dick.
Drop it after marineford
not
This. Also, hopefully you haven't fucked things up already but don't look up what happens next or read into the later stuff in the series because the manga falls apart when you read the older stuff knowing how every mystery turned out. Try to actually have an adventure with it and be as in the dark as the characters. The manga is full of plotholes when you've read it before and go for a re-read.
old meme old
Drop it after chapter 973!
Yeah, that was the chapter where I stopped reading too.
Got to the point where Kuma arrives in Thriller Bark, it surprised me that his voice is so soft
Also he really gives an ominous feeling
He is best boy.
This. Lots of girls have small breasts. None have dicks.
Is he? I mean, he got enslaved (i dont know the details, but being a slave isnt really good)
Yeah, I guess WG was tired of his shenanigans. Poor guy.
What meme?
This. Until Sabaody or maybe even Marinefort the anime is good and with the music it is defenitly a great experience(muffled Overtaken in the distance).
The anime also has G8 so that is a plus aswell.
That Luffy likes his meat
the Marineford meme and hype
>Marineford
No. Marineford was shit in anime. The pacing is horrible and everybody looked like complete useless faggots standing in one place for minutes. And the usual Toei bullshit about making people suffer. For example WB got punched by Teach while in the manga WB completely fodderized BB.
I didn't say that marineford was the best arc, I implied that everything after that is shit. Learn to read.
>I implied that everything after that is shit
I respect your opinion, but I think it is false.
Did the chapter got translated on friday?
yes
Read the SBS. It's mostly dick jokes and Japanese puns but occasionally it's important
Also this
There's a 150 chapter section (Skypiea>Water 7>Inies Lobby>) that's one of the greatest hot streaks in manga.
>shit for 10 years now
>still here
retard
Oh I'm sorry, I'm not allowed criticize a series I like???
I stopped reading weekly at dressrosa. I just binge the arcs now when they're out (haven't read Wano yet). Only arc I thought was actually good was the reverie.
Sunk cost fallacy. I still want to see how the story goes and when the story actually moves it's exciting, but the arcs themselves are shit and dragged as FUCK.
le Enies Lobby meme
I hate your kind
you didn't criticize it, you simply said it has been shit for 10 years now
The guy who answered you was a different user, my answer is this
Who's memeing? Only started One Piece last year and it was one of my favourite arcs; well pace, genuine stakes, and everyone got a chance to shine
Please share the link
Water 7 was the last time one piece was any good. Just drop it after they get to thriller bark.
I can't believe people would say things like this. Impel Down is top-tier One Piece and isn't even placed on the wrong side of the "le time-skip is bad" meme.
>drop it once they arrive at Thriller Bark
BINKUSU
NO
SAKE
Impel down is okay but not really worth reading as all its build-up is just wasted on a massive shitshow
