Part of the reason I shelved this. I was enjoying it, but it started to meander terribly and characters I didn't give a shit about kept getting introduced. It wasn't -nearly- as bad as Bleach, but like a month into Desserosa I decided that I just wasn't as attached. Had the manga effectively ended when Luffy gets injured after Ace dies, and then a couple of OVAs were produced that tied up existing storylines without going overboard like the post-timeskip story has done, I think I would have cared more. But 3+ years and effectively nothing has happened was just too much for me. At least Naruto "ended" (except for the upcoming manga where it hasn't!) and the story actually moved forward in a consistent, albeit meandering manner. One Piece is meandering but not moving forward =|
