Gladly:
 * 1) The artwork sucks. Like, I can't even make it through a chapter without my eyes wanting to bleed.
 * 2) The story... wasn't it originally about Luffy seeking the One Piece? Exactly what happened to that? I mean, even Naruto's original ambition to become Hokage and save Sasuke has been forever present and within sight.
 * 3) The characters annoy the absolute hell out of me. I hate that Luffy refers to his collective group as "the Nakama". Yes, I realize that is the Japanese word for comrade or friend, but One Piece has officially made me hate that word. Now everytime I hear "nakama", I get a bad taste in my mouth. I mean, honestly, you people call Naruto and his so-called "talk-no-jutsu" annoying? Please.
 * 4) The story is endless. Just last year Oda said he was only halfway through with One Piece. You have to be ****ing kidding me. The story has lost its original goal, is just as massive as series like Naruto and Bleach, both of whom are coming to an end, and he's only half way through? Shoot me now please.
 * 5) Timeskip. Naruto did it first (probably not the first shonen manga, but the first of the so-called "big three"). Bleach followed the formula. One Piece did it too. Not really a big deal, but it made me seethe.
 * 6) Did I mention how consistently terrible the artwork is?
 * 7) The fanbase. Not all fans, mind you, but a good majority of them. They're borderline cult fanatic about One Piece for reasons I will never understand. The major manga sites all are made up of staff members that literally suck Oda's **** all day long and then lament Naruto and Bleach, giving preference to One Piece whenever possible, and again, I can't explain why. Nothing, and I mean nothing about that series is worth their attention, but whatever, to each their own.

Bleach isn't much better, but I could at least read the first half of the series with mild enjoyment.
