The story structure of "One Piece" with a clear theme is actually closed, and the opening chapter explains the ultimate goal of the adventure: Luffy wants to become One Piece.
Therefore, even if there are more than 600 words in the plot, it is still a story that can be clearly told in one sentence.

but Oda has built a very open world, a world surrounded by the sea and full of small islands.
Under this structure, "One Piece" is like a road movie, and it can play freely in each story unit.
This approach circumvents a fatal flaw in most serialized hot-blooded comics: once the original set of content is completed, the world view has to be expanded, and there is a huge contrast between the early story and the later story.
Some writers can structure the worldview well, while others are fine-tuned in storytelling. Oda is rare in that he is good at both.

The richness of the characters' characters doesn't need to be said much. Readers of different personalities can find characters that resonate. This is a very important first-level resonance. The team spirit of the Straw Hat Pirates, readers have a second layer of resonance when facing life.
Luffy is a great manager:
(1) He knows how to provide a vision. Everyone on the team has a different vision, but they have to do the same thing to get there, so they are in the same boat. That's enough, it's more respectful and freer than trying to set everyone the same goal.
(2) He knows how to promote team growth. Although he is the strongest on the team, he is leaning on the team rather than doing everything himself, a style that is more evident two years later.

aside from the arrogance and magnificence of the comic itself, this is a frank comic and a growing comic.
The plot is growing, the readers are growing, and the author is also growing—this is the most important point. Oda is projecting his own experiences and thoughts, so it has been serialized for several years or decades, and there is no gap between the three parties. Being able to do this, to establish such a graceful atmosphere with readers, adds to the literary achievements of "One Piece".
