I love One Piece. The manga follows the law that manga are better than the anime so I switched over half way into the CP9 arc. I had caught up to the point where the straw hat pirates are with the mermaids and battling arlongs friend, the fisher guy I think (havent read it in a couple of months, dont remember the names). I think the show works on many levels though it can be childish. Sanji is my favorite character and I love odas art more than any other manga artist
