My first experience with One Piece was the 4Kids dub, almost dropped it completely, then one day at a big name book store, I picked up the first volume and read it on a whim. Bought it and kept buying them, eventually I jumped ahead and started reading the scans while buying volumes, DVDs (once Funimation took over) and haven't turned back since.

I agree the anime is the inferior version if you are going for the story but yeah, it starts slow and is more humor based but grows into a monster and worthy of its massive success.

I was also first exposed to One Piece through the 4kids dub...and I also dropped it pretty early.  Dear god...the lollipops and name changes and no death ever. It was almost like a comic relief of how never to dub anime. I honestly don't know what they were thinking picking that up for a children's TV block in the first place.

I didn't attempt the manga until only a few years ago, and I'm glad I did. LIke you said, it definitely deserves its success.
