Actually I find the humor quite vulgar, much different from Dragon Ball, who didnt go over the top.
I know I have different tastes, but I just wanted to express my opinion.
I do watch/read Bleach and Naruto, and I find them more entertaining than One piece.
Actually here is my ranking
Bleach (and I know ppl compare it to DBZ, but One piece has more than DBZ and Bleach more than saint seiya)
Naruto
Fairy tail
Kenichi
One piece
Im sorry but I dont see what you see in One piece, like I said before the only reason Im still continuing is for the haki (a real power up at last) and for Usopp
I have watched, read it....and it doesnt do much for me. I mean I do find it entertaining but not as magnificence as Dragon Ball was. Or any other manga.
Ppl said is more constant than Bleach and others.
I do accept that Naruto and Bleach had had their ups and downs....but their ups have been awsome.
While for me One piece, beginning was boring as hell.
It was until later that it seem power ups where going to start that it caught my interest.
I must say, that although Im a woman, I prefer action mangas, I mean blood, fighting, evilness, bipolar disorders in the character (death note, Bleach) and power ups.
And one piece hasnt much of that.
It is too tame for my taste.
Like I said, I just wanted to express myself, and I think Im free to do so, just like you are free to tell me, that you disagree, or you think my opinion is not good.
I mean everytime I read "Bleach is boring", I wanted to also being able to express myself, I envy that some guys could express their negative emotions. And I have done so, so Im satisfied, thank you for taking your time in reading me.
Have a nice day, everyone. 😀

i also agree with you because when i first started reading one piece when it started in shounen jump i really thought it was retarded and then stopped reading it then i started watching on Saturdays and was really dumbfounded about what they did to it (DESTROYED IT!!!) so i thought whatever some years down the road got bored started reading it and got engrossed on it about the time i finished
the crocodile arc i was hooked

The best thing about one piece is that it keeps getting better. I was also hesitant to pick it up at first, I found the art style to be a little weird, but eventually it grew on me and now its one of my all time favorites. Oda is a genius.

Doing nothing is very hard to do. You never know when you're done.

Clip really long post

Again, sorry for clipping your post, but it does seem that you're looking for something different than one piece in a manga. You're exactly the kind of person who'd love Dragon Ball and Bleach, since you like incredibly long, epic, over the top battles and monumental power ups, while One Piece spends much less time in action sequences, and the fights go a lot quicker. People have said the basis for why One Piece is enjoyed, and that's the "Oda never forgets" factor, the variety of characters, and the (crazy) world that seems filled to the brim with wild adventures and strange people. It's an adventure manga more than a fighting manga.

You shouldn't get too hung up on why people seem to enjoy One Piece so much, as this seems like it's just a simple matter of different tastes. You like what you like, and it's not quite One Piece.

so what's the question?
i don't see any question..
if you wanna say that you like Bleach than One Piece, no one will blame you.
For me, it's the opposite.
Yes, One Piece definitely has its own drawing style, but if you've already drawn into it... OMG, it's really good.
One of the example:
Oda's characters are strong, well developed personality, their background, their purpose.. you can see that sometimes a minor character actually have influence towards the progress of the story..
I darely say a complete opposite of Bleach. Which also have bunch of characters...

if it's only drawing matter... lots of series has good art but failed in story.

Air gear and Tenjo Tenge come to mind. Terrible story but amazing art. (Un)fortunately Kubo is no Oh great. 🤣

I still read Air Gear but only for the over the top nonsense and sweet drawing. Bleach can't or won't do that.
