First of all sorry for bad english this is not my home language

I know One Piece for like 10 years, thinking it was something like Naruto or Bleach level of comics (comics that are kind of meh to me). I just finish the pre timeskip without almost any spoiler (just knowing all the strawhat crew and that luffy father is alive), reading the manga and seeing the epic scenes in youtube and i can almost be certain that this is one of my favourite fictions of all time...
One Piece is emotional rollercoaster definition in dictionary. in almost 600 chapters i laughed a lot, be amazed at some panels, cried of sadness, cried of joy and not gonna lie being bored at sometimes, but all in all without a doubt loving this manga a lot.


Story 8.5/10

Almost 600 chapters without knowing almost nothing about the main plot can be a symptom of the series being dragged on, but One Piece is not the case because is not about finding the One Piece, is about the adventure... One Piece story is a summary of sagas, from east blue to summit war (at least the one i just finish) that gives hints about the main plot.
In each arc there is a main plot, now the problem with this is there are arcs that for me are better than other ones, but at least all (maybe except thriller bark) are good at their own thing. The problem with the story is that is very visible that this is a shonen manga more in the side of kids with childish humour and some battles, instead for example Hunter x Hunter that is more in the side of adults, so for people that are searching for complex and detailed series this is not your cup of tea.
I give it an 8.5 because while one piece give me some of my favourites sagas of all time like Summit War or Water 7, it also gave me sagas that i didn't like very much like Thriller Bark.


Art 8.5/10

I don't read manga a lot, but i had read JoJo part 7 that is my 10 in art, so judging by that base and the base that this is a weekly manga that is going on for 20 years and counting the art is really good, the draws are very good and the epic or emotional panels really gives emotions, the only problem i see in the art is that some battles are kind of confusing in black and white (i had to see them in colour to understand them)


Characters 10/10

One piece has the best cast of characters i ever saw, almost all of them are extremely charismatic in their own way, from Shanks and his crew to the fighters of Marineford all of them has their charm... is a fact that in this manga there isn't almost character growth because like i said earlier this series lacks complexity, but really anyone cares about character development when you have a cast like this one? Franky is my favourite strawhat and Ace or Shirohige or Kizaru or Hancock or Kurohige or Bon Clay or Doflamingo or... i can't decide one at the moment... is that good.


Enjoyment 11/10

The most emotional anime/manga series i witnessed. I laughed a lot by their humour (but sometimes don't like gags that are really too childish, but that's a problem of my age not a problem of the series), cried of sadness, cried of joy, cried AT AN OPENING, being amazed at plot twist, being amazed at epic scenes or fights, being amazed at nothing because nothing happened at that time. sometimes i didn't like some things like the giants arc or the beginning of skypea but is like 1/25 of the chapters i read that i didn't like... One piece is pure enjoyment if this is you cup of tea.


Overall 9/10

Is mindblowing that people compare this with Naruto or Bleach... i understand that this is not a series for anyone (like every other series) but this is to put the very least a very great manga until this point and a serious contender to Hunter x Hunter for being the best shonen. Hunter x Hunter is the goat serious shonen... this is the goat heartful shonen.

One Piece goes with JoJo Part 7 and Hunter x Hunter as my favourites anime/manga

EDIT: in the day with the manga, 900 chapters with lots of emotion, hype, unsolved history, worldbuilding, interesting and charimastic characters, humour, sad and joyful moments, epic battles, epic speeches... yup as a whole this is the best shonen history bar none, the funny thing is that according to oda the last past of the series are going to be the best one and make marineford look like a filler. I really dont know how he are going to do this but if i learned something with 4 months reading one piece is believe in oda, one piece exist... and is a god tier manga
