You should start at the beginning, if you absolutely can't than start at either Loguetown, Arabasta or Water 7

But if you do that without the intention of later watching what you skipped you shouldn't really get into it

But I highly recommend starting at the beginning because even if you find it slow it will affect how you see later arcs

If you want to only get into the big battles that would be like skipping lotr till the battle of the pellenor fields which would lose most of its significance if you skip the story

PS one piece is imo (which is shared by many ppl who read all 3) best of the big 3

There is one thing you could do though, try watching the post marineford arc flashback about luffy and his childhood before you watch marineford, it will make the war much more emotional

you should start from the beginning as their wouldnt be much point in reading it if you started from a certain point after the beginning also you may enjoy the beginning and if you skip it you will miss out

also people who have seen dbz without watching dragon ball really should as its all the same universe, plus db>>>>>>>>>>>>>>dbz

I did not like One Piece at all. Or Dragon Ball, for that matter. Let me tell you, I've received my fair share of neg reps for stating this, so let us keep this between me and you, 'kay?

Who would neg rep you for saying your opinion!? This forum is full of BAKAs!!!!

Start from episode 1 or chapter 1. When you get past the Marineford war arc watch / read episode / chapter 0

A little sidenote for the OP: chapter 0 is called chapter 565.5 on some sites.

I'd recommend u start from the beginning, might be time confusing but it's worth it, you'd be getting confused later on if u skip some chaps or episodes. So yeah from the beginning

Don't watch the anime read the manga. The anime is dragged out way to much.

The manga would be quicker for you to catch up with.
