Everything after that was kinda slow until after Crocodile. I totally forgot about him. But I believe the Crocodile arc was after Sky Island so my assessment that things get better Sky Island is right I think. | ||

Arcs went something like East Blue (highlighted by the Arlong Arc)->Baroque Works (Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, Drum, Alabasta)->Skypeia->Davy Back->Water 7, and so on (not gonna list them all). Usopp's arc in the beginning is a bit dull, Sanji's too, but Arlong and Loguetown were good. The entire Baroque Works arc was good. Skypeia was good although dragged a bit in the middle. loldavy back. Water 7 and onwards are all good. | ||

where theres a young girl who is protected by a massive hulking warrior guardian and they potentially go on a journey (through wilderness, jungle) i have some vague (to say the least) recollection of a cartoon or maybe it was an irl series where this happened (probably the guardian warrior didnt speak much, and there was possibly another character involved). but an anime like that would be cool too vampire princess miyu might be like that but idk i havent seen it basically young girl & her warrior guardian questing | ||

Otherwise it'd turn into a Bleach/Fairy Tail where you have so many characters but don't really give two shits except your favorite one. But I do admit they were dull also.  I just tell people I recommended One Piece to wait until after the Crocodile Arc for them to either keep going or drop it (by then they usually just go on after having watched 200+ eps). | ||

Character development is good. Its just, unfortunately the intro story concerning Usopp isn't very compelling. Sanji's has parts that is okay, parts that dragged, its been a while, IDK. But telling people to wait until after Baroque Works is a long time/alot to watch for someone to give it a try. If someone doesn't like One Piece after they watch the Arlong Arc, then thats when you can start dismissing their opinion imo. Because everything that happens after the Arlong Arc is good. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://c.mfcdn.net/store/manga/8742/050.0/compressed/unise050_008.jpg) Talk about sending mixed signals lol Not too much happened but yeah, nice little chapter.

Hopefully the new arc will be good  If you liked Naruto and Bleach, I personally can't stand them :"), you will absolutely love HxH and One Piece. If not, you have no taste :p I'm not a big fan of HxH. I really don't see the appeal. | ||

I have to agree, I started OP when I already like 250+ shows and I had to struggle through till Arlong but Loguetown onward did the trick.. | ||

I loved HxH up until Greed Island, which is OK, but afterward it just jumps the shark Kept going because my unending love for Yu Yu Hakusho, then Togashi made it easy for me | ||

Well people have their own opinion on things, I though the Arlong Arc was okay at best and the crocodile arc was above average and the sky island arc would be above average too if it didnt get dragged on like you said. Either way, there is no doubt that One Piece had a slow start compare to the other big 3 before it start getting good. Some where after Crocodile arc or during, it started picking up and got really good. Just wanted to give the person who going to watch a heads up that he should be putting down the series too much in the beginning and give it a real try so he can experience the best shonen :D | ||
