“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like there's nobody listening, And live like it's heaven on earth.” ― William W. Purkey

One Piece is about chasing after grand treasures while going up against the status quo, and it handles this differently compared to other series like Naruto, Bleach, Tokyo Ghoul, Attack on Titan, etc. The biggest notable difference is that it does this through "laughter in the face of danger". In most other series, our characters just can't have comedy right in the middle of a fight against an antagonist because it'd ruin the tension and not fit within the gritty world/theme it wants to portray. One Piece manages to do both comedy and gritty tension, and this is what allows Oda to draw unique and interesting movements that surprise the reader and makes them laugh. If you're a confident person, you can handle jokes and have some self humility, but if you're un-confident, you smite down all attempts. A king sits on the throne with his back against the wall, with guards on either sides of him, because there he can't be stabbed. In truth, he holds a fixed image of himself that refuses to be vulnerable. The fool on the other hand, can play any role and is at the center of vulnerability.

In One Piece, our characters try to HAVE FUN along the way towards accomplishing their goals, which can be off putting to some because it seems like they're not taking it seriously, which is just not true because if you aren't having fun, you'll end up quitting, which is why our main characters ARE having fun, because it leads them to not want to quit. Their goals aren't an obligation to do for the greater good, not to get external validation, but to satisfy their internal ones. "The real world is not fun and games", is the point of view that gets pushed down to our characters and while other series has their characters trying to adapt to a cruel world, One Piece responds with, I don't care.

One Piece is just a blast to read, I couldn't stop flipping the pages when I was little because it just constantly had things moving as much as possible. Oda is immensely creative in surprising me and I'm just going to fanboy my thoughts to convey what i mean, so:

!!!SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

When Luffy got hypnotized by django and their plan backfired rofl.
When Luffy was fighting Crocodile, and nothing worked because all the punches went through him, and it just seemed like an impossible up hill battle, aojfagja0e9g, like HOW IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO WIN? I was on the edge of my seat(same with katakuri).
When Nami was fighting DoubleFinger, your weapon is fricken terrible lolol!
Sanjis wanted poster is a drawing of an actual person

...I really don't want to spoil more, so please find out for yourselves!

Overall One Piece is a fun comedic journey across a giant world with lots of inventive places and characters that are a joy to follow.
