Sabo is so much cooler than Ace.

I am loving Chopper! 🙂

That's like saying Sabo is cooler than an empty box painted on gray.

The fact that Ace is a low bar does not take away from it. 😛

Fujitora is pretty cool.

One Piece has so much better pacing than Bleach. Look at all that happened in this chapter compared to the snails pace of Bleach's.

So is any of the stuff happening interesting? Because I kind of stopped caring about Dresrosa.

Sabo vs Fujitora happened and is going on. Law's backstory is being revealed. Basically nothing interesting has happened since the last break Oda took.

I miss the good ol days when the Straw Hats were getting stuff to do.

Take this quiz!

Actually rather liked it.

I got the Shock Shock fruit, 100% match.

Sand Sand followed by Liquid Liquid fruits. 🙂

DDM is Eminem. Who knew.

Edit: Also as there is no canon Liquid fruit or Rock fruit, we'll just call those Caribou's and Pica's respectively.

I got the friggin Munch Munch fruit followed by the Bomb Bomb fruit.

Wakkawakkawakka is the sound Pac-Man makes. And he's the munchiest guy around.

He looks like a despotic ruler.

Also all of you who haven't taken the test need to so that I may learn. Mostly addressing Egyptian goddesses and possible robots with listing capabilities.

Hey, AuraAngel, convince me to start reading One Piece, again. I left off around chapter 72. Right when they start the new arc after the floating restaurant arc.

Just say "Nephthys and Q99, take this test and give I, AuraAngel, the attention I crave" you pussy.

The arc you stopped at is my favorite of the early arcs(though most people will prefer the one directly after the restaurant arc called Arlong Park). It is also an arc where one of the most important characters, Mihawk, will appear and reveal the greatest aspect of OP. Namely the sprawling world waiting for exploration. The world of One Piece is flat out more fleshed out than either Naruto or Bleach. In addition to each arc having its own purpose the overarching power dynamics of famous pirates, the Marines, and the World Government is a treat.

And no lie it is really hard to imagine someone just hating the Straw Hat crew. You like it when the heroes stomp the shit out of the bad guys? Well look no further. Luffy doesn't face his first defeat for a while and the heroes get plenty of kickass moments. There are also a lot of moments that can tug at your heart strings. Some characters have backstories that are just downright heart breaking.

Now Q99 likes OP and Fairy Tail, which you read. And from what I can gather is that the pacing is night and day. OP is very slow but it is deliberate to make the world feel much bigger. Also a lot of time is spent working out how to get from point A to point B where in, say, Naruto the journey is secondary compared to the task. In One Piece if the journey isn't fun then there is no purpose.

Now you've read the early stages of OP and to be fair early arcs in manga tend to need a little more slack. Keep in mind Naruto's first arc doesn't strictly set the stage for the epic, quasi-religious struggle between two clans that it later becomes. OP really starts to shine at this point in my opinion but definitely gets there once Alabasta hits.

Mind you this is all my personal opinion. I enjoy the series quite a lot even while acknowledging the problems. Little less than Naruto but quite a lot more than Bleach frankly. Maybe what I like won't strike the right chords with you but I think you could really enjoy the series.
