One Piece is all about story. That's what separates it from other shounen crap where every fight is just a fight because we need a fight because people like fights. In One Piece, fights are mostly used for plot extension and character development on top of being fights. Comparing One Piece to other shounen is silly sense it has completely different goals; One Piece is a pre-planned story that continuously unwraps as you go through it, other shounen like Naruto or Fairy Tail are made up on the fly to appeal to people who just want action. If you want action, don't read or watch One Piece, though it has action-packed moments, it is not about the fights and never has been.
