One Piece is good. Has some mediocre arcs but the adventurous feel is very enjoyable throughout.
The older arcs actually get better the longer the series goes as the later events were foreshadowed in the previous arcs and make connections to them. Everything feels interconnected. Only Oda is able to pull this off. And One Piece has maybe the greatest foreshadowing in the entire manga genre, your respect will grow a lot as soon as you find it out. Sadly, too many people only "read" the manga to get from one page to another and will miss the majority of greatly built foreshadowing in OP. While character development isn't a focus on it, it's still there, the strength of One Piece lies in world building, myster creation and unpredictability.
Yeah, Oda is very skilled at foreshadowing. But IMO while Sorachi doesn't do it as much, his foreshadowing are Oda's level, if not better.
