Welcome to light.
On serious note, I too droped it after latest chapter,will pick it up at the end of year now,and read it in bulk. What's more hilarious is that it's fan don't question the illogical things at all,and consider it the most popular series,which is naruto in reality,based on sales. Lol they forget these thread are made by people outside japan,where it's like a dirt in terms of sales(45 million/345 million {by nov. 2013}) compared to naruto(188 million/314 million {by feb. 2013}). Learn and accept the reality~ "One piece shits on Naruto in JAPAN,and well Naruto shits on One piece OUTSIDE JAPAN".
Those are bullshit figures, you can't even compare the US market to the Japanese market. It's not even a fraction of the sales. Besides the European market is the second biggest manga market (and France is leading there) And there One Piece is also the biggest. The third biggest market are the other Asian countries like China and Indonesia, where surprisingly, One Piece is also the biggest.
Look at this chart of
ALL TIME !! sales, so those are sales from every copy ever sold. Even the precious Dragon ball that also was so 'huge' in the US. And see how One Piece passed that point in 2011 already by a mile. Naruto doesn't even have half of the sales

(NOTE: One Piece breached the 350M sales end of 2013, so it's still going strong)
So if you like Naruto better personally then just state your opinion. Don't state it like a fact that OP isn't the biggest outside Japan, because it DWARVES Naruto on every level in terms of sales and popularity.
EDIT: Also found this, sales of manga in the US (In 2010) couldn't find more recent ones but this will do.
