One Piece is obviously inspired by Dragon Ball and honestly is BIG IMPROVEMENT in many respects. A better more held together plot, better character development, better adventure theme, way more meaning, less plot holes, every character is useful, etc. As a shonen, and even just as a manga in general One Piece is different from most manga out there. Odas planning is unmatched and so are his ideas. A rubber boy has not been done before and honestly who would think that up? You wouldn't assume such a character to be inspiring or serious but alas he is. And that is a big change from the hero stereotype
The flashback was definitely rushed but you say it a bad thing -.-. How is this even breaking from the structure. Really nobles are one dimensional? When Sabo was hit, most of them were worried (you may argue for the celestial dragons sanity but there was definitely a hint of compassion for Sabo). Now you have a DB profile pic and you seem to be insulting Oda for these 1D nobles. Really? Now i'm going to go into royalty here: Iceberg, Cobra/Vivi, Sabo, Gan Fall, and somethings slipping my mind but i think theres one or two more. Most nobles didn't seem to even know what was going on when everything burned too
