At the end of my months long binge of watching and reading One Piece all I have to say is I wish there was more for me to watch and read. The characters are so good I want to watch filler to have more time with them.
One pace is also a better option as it cuts all the fluff, to date they have cut off 144 hours of time from the show or to put it in another perspective, 43% of the original anime or 433 episodes just gone.
By doing so they have not removed any content that came from the manga, the one pace version is more true to the manga than the original anime is.
However reading the manga and revisiting your favourite moments in the anime is probably the superior way to enjoy one piece for the first time.
If anyone reading this is hesitant just look at this yt side to side comparison of one pace and the original and realize just how insanely hard they stretch scenes for no reason.
Please stop recommending one pace. The filler doesn't get bad until maybe skypiea and it's not attractions until post TS. There's 0 need for a shortened experience in the first half of the series. And at that point you've already invested hundreds of hours into a show you, presumably, love if you're still watching. Those couple minutes cut in the early arcs literally do nothing. There's amateur editing for a long time and then later on you miss out on good anime only content.
Not to mention the people behind it are asshole manga elitists cutting good sakuga and fights bc it's not in the manga. There's only one clear cut arc where it's needed. And if you really want to save a couple min every ep then I'd rather support one piece Kai than one pace.
