Keep on reading then.
Luffy does develop from a dumb-ignorant character into a much more interesting character.
He's not the strongest at all - he lost a lot of battles.
IMO One piece is much better drawn than Naruto, well, except for the first couple of chapters from Naruto - they were nicely done. Now they just look rushed...
Mhm, on topic I wouldn't mind seeing more pirate-like quests - however I'd much rather have some Ninja/Assassin-esque quests ^_^
Well since you said it nice unlike some people *cough, cough, GrimWhim* I think I will give One Piece a chance.
True about Naruto drawing.
They got really bad. -.-

Because it would be boring as hell if the main character always needed someone to save him. But for your information, Luffy has lost a couple of battles and some have been draws. That's much more than I can say for most.
It wouldn't need to happen all the time.

Naruto isn't funny at all. He's an annoying child with no personality. His English counterpart is ten times as worse.
And Luffy isn't funny also.

He doesn't talk about them "every second of [his] bloody life". Yes, he mentions them frequently but more often than not it's because he's always fighting for them or fighting to save them.
That's nice, but could he learn how to shut his mouth up since he is just repeating the same thing over and over again.

3rd grade emotional moments? What the hell are you smoking? I'm not going to go through and list every emotional bit of the story thus far but there's more in there that are more powerful than anything I've come across and I've watched some pretty emotional stuff before.
Well, I think that we should stop our argument on this part since I am not that emotional.
Arguing with me on that topic is like arguing with colorblind person about colors.

And how is he not unique? Does he shoot giant lasers out of his hands? No. Does he do retarded hand gesture and throw **** at people? No. Does he have guns? No. He uses his fists, legs, body and often times the environment to defeat his enemies. He may appear to be dumb but he's actually very clever and intelligent when the moment calls for it. When he gets angry he's much more intimidating than any other anime character I've seen.
Erm, he look like a retarded and unwanted child of Mr. Fantastic and Jack Sparrow.
Nothing new there.

How many episodes have you watched? Yeah, it's a tad slow in the beginning but you can't honestly expect them to throw everything at you at once, can you? That drawing style is unique to One Piece and it happens to be way, way better than the crap I've seen elsewhere. Most people just draw in the same way as the next guy with a minor edit here or there. The style is unique and new and happens to very refreshing after watching the same crap over and over again with a plot that seems to remain the same in each one.
I've watched to the point where he won his battle (witch he actually lost) against Don Krieg.
Only because something is unique it doesn't mean it's good.
A dead seal with a duck stuck up his ass, painted in lime green and than hanged on top of the bell-tower of a church and shoot a firework at it is quite unique, but is still dumb.
Hunting for treasure is not some unique story also, but still, I haven't seen an execution of that idea to the end so I won't say much.
