I love One Piece!! I really do. The characters are all quirky and engaging and sympathetic and I love them so.
Of course, the people writing the anime series have NO idea about dramatic timing or pacing or even really the concept of the passage of time. Which puts me off somewhat. There have been a couple instance where I have literally been *bored to sleep* while watching an episode, especially in the Little Garden arc. It always gets on my nerves when they say things like "if so-and-so doesn't do such-and-such in 30 seconds/three minutes/whatever than this person is going to die!" and then blatantly run roughshod over their self-imposed time limit.
I love One Piece. I do. But for an action series there is a weird dearth of actual action and a strange propensity for having the characters stand around and yak.
But anyway. Yes, One Piece rocks. You should write fic for it. Definately. ^_~
