A little background: naruto was my first manga and the only one I read for probably 5 years. I branched off into bleach and fairy tail which I really enjoy and I read a few others that ended. Once naruto ended I was getting tired of only having one updated chapter to read each week. Anyways one piece always seemed too hard to catch up on but I started reading a few months ago and I just finished the last chapter. I really enjoy it and there seems to be a very distinct pattern where there is a long arc and then you get a little background on luffys family. I thought the arc around aces execution was one of the best I've read in any manga
