What part of One Piece had you hooked?

[Void]

I've seen next to nothing of this series yet we have a whole section for it. What part of this series had you completely hooked?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Got into the series as a kid only about 2-3 years after I was introduced to DB, so I can't say for sure. Looking back in retrospect, I'd probably say the Alabasta Arc was where it showed it's quality enough to hook most people up until the timeskip.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

I didn't really need to get hooked, because when you are young and the anime-block is on you watch all the series on (that you like anyway and I liked One-Piece from the beginning so no problem), but when it got really, really interesting, like can't wait for the next episode level, either Arlong-Park or Alabasta (especially the latter).

I remember when I first read it I really enjoyed the Don Krieg fight for some reason, so I guess that.

Arlong Park.

Maybe the Mihawk fight before that to a certain extent.

Luffy fighting against Usopp and then crying over his defeated comrade, saying "it's tough" got me kind of touched... Zoro enduring all of Luffy's pain and saying "nothing has happened" afterwards got me excited as well back in the time I was waching it. Ace + Whitebeard's death got me back in the time as well, as well as Luffy and Doflamingo's fight as I was a huge Doflamingo's fan.

Nowadays, nothing seems to entertain me though, and those scenes don't hold that much of a rewatch/reread value to me.

Kuro. Seemed as good as DBZ by then.

Syrup Village was when I was probably hooked. But I do think at times I felt like it was dragging and was getting tired of the series. I don't think I was really invested until Eneis Lobby.

Walk to Arlong Park my guy.
