There's no huge spoilers, so, if you want reasons to watch One Piece, i'm gonna describe how this masterpiece is the mangá of my life with some few points about that.

➲ Introduction ▌﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋

❦I made this review right after I read the chapter 1000, so, if you are from future, keep that in mind.1000 chapters... are 1000 chapters, can you believe? There are >>>1000<<< chapters, and you're part of that, you're one of the luckiest people in history just because you exist and accompany One Piece, this masterpiece. If you accompanied One Piece up here, this mangá changed your life, 1000% sure.Just imagine if you didn't decided to start the rubber pirate show... Obviously you would have more time to spend, but would you prefer that? Would you prefer that to cry with a boat? Would you prefer that to see GOD SOGEKING in action? Or Buggy-sama? Would you prefer that to see the expectations that you have in Shanks becoming true? In Dragon? Would you prefer that to the mistery that is around Bonney? Around Teach? Around fucking IM-SAMA????? Yes, i knew it, so, let's go to the review.

➲ The narrative and the world-building ▌﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋

❦By far, the best point of One Piece is the world-building and the story (with all the misteries and the plots). I never seen a mangá so well built like One Piece, the world-building is above the masterpiece, and it's not like Bleach or Naruto that has a amazing world to explore but they just don't do it, One Piece explore every piece of that, and you need to pay attention in every detail, cause Oda just take one piece ("hahah") that he left in chapter, for example, 77, and connect to the event that happened in chapter 720, and there's a lot of this, like when they mentioned Jinbe in the Arlong Park and apresented to us only in Impel Down, or the freezing giants in Punk Hazard that seemed like it was nothing, but is apresented and explained in the most recent chapters, in Wano.And about the story itself, there's no loose end, and if you think there is, you just need to wait Oda to return to that loose end in some future point.Maybe you think some arcs are too tiring, but every arc has some part that is just phenomenal, and the importance to the story is a lot in every one of them, they always reveal something huge.The comedy is very funny when it comes, with the certain comic plot for each character, the fights are good, and the sad scenes, the sad scenes... One Piece is by far the anime that most made me cry, seriously, i recommend see the anime too in this type of scenes, they do very well, oh, and about the anime, i think it's very good, but you need to know that is an anime that started in 1999, so the image is bad in the start if you compare to now, and the fillers is only between the arcs and last a few episodes, and for me they don't bored that much (but you can jump with no concerns). The anime started to get tiring after Dressrosa (but is when i started the mangá, so maybe is just my anxiety), specially Zou (and is when the animation becomes "different"), cause i think Toei made like 20 episodes that could be done in 5, and i understand that in that time the anime was getting close to the mangá, but now, in Wano, PLEASE, i can't take anymore the Udon' prison cenary, it was a whole episode from ****** saying "OSHIRUKO OSHIRUKO OSHIRUKO AAAAAAAAAAAA". The animation in Wano is awesome btw.My only issue with the story is that Oda don't kill anyone, even the secundary of secundary characters he don't kill, and if you think someone is dead, you need to confirm the body cause maybe he returns alive in the end haha.I forgot to tell about the messages that One Piece brings, that englobes racism, corrupt government, transgender issues, all in a simples and geniously, very nice.And Eniess Lobby is just the best arc of a battle shonen mangá, just perfect.`10/10`

➲ The characters ▌﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋

❦I never read a manga like One Piece almost every important character (not only the strawhats) is well written and developed, they all has motivation, past, something that explains their acts, it's awesome, even a secondary character like Señor Pink, in Dressrosa, has an amazing past haha, i was really touched by his story and development of person, and plus the fight with Franky, mannn, what a character. Sometimes have a little protagonism with, principally before the timeskip, or more specifically in Alabasta haha, but in the majority time they show the growing of Luffy, Zoro and the rest of the crewmates, and the powers is well explained too and logical, nothing like Asta and Yuno cof cof.Oh, and the character design of Oda is just the best haha, every character has a really unique design, you'll never gonna see that vast majority of character styles in any other mangá.(Spoiler from Whole Cake) One thing that I found incredible was the fight between Luffy and Katakuri, the personality's development of Katakuri in the middle of the battle and the evolution of Luffy's observation Haki was incredible, cause Katakuri was underestimating Luffy in the beginning of the battle, but in the end he realized that Luffy was a respectiful opponent. And about the evolving of Luffy, it's nice that show how he is different of Zoro, cause Zoro evolves training, for example, his Armament Haki evolved more in the training with Mihawk in timeskip while Luffy learned just the basics of all three Haki in timeskip, and got better and better in Dressrosa and Wano.`10/10`

➲ The art ▌﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋

❦The art is nothing too much, but still has a very nice and unique trait, if you read from the beginning, you can see the evolution and it's incredible, in the first chapters you maybe don't like the art if you are boring, but you can wait that this is gonna become really really goodThe battle scenes is very well done, is not short, and is not too long, it's just perfect, the sad scenes, the plot scenes, the inspiring scenes, is all perfect.`10/10`

➲ Conclusion and my thoughts ▌﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋

❦One Piece is a masterpiece, undoubtedly, is the manga/anime of my life, i started watching when i was 8 years, ten years ago, and now im just love more and more. If everyone read One Piece the world would be better, the criminality would go to 0, the health and education would evolve much more, the cars would be flying by now, the teleportation would be real already, Santos FC would be ten times world champion, resuming, the utopia would arrive in Earth.But seriously now, is the definition of 10/10, every aspect is masterpiece, maybe not the anime, but the mangá is just the best thing that someone did in times. Proud to be accompany this journey, and hopefully it will last many years!
