You should use One Pace instead, it’s a community re-edit of One Piece that removes the padding/filler and non-canon material present in the Toei anime, they also redo the subtitles to be more accurate as well as remove censorship/bad localizations. They have a watch guide on their discord.
Stick with it. I have to admit I would be tempted to watch the OG version if I had more time. You have to give us novices a non-spoiler review of the experience if you are done.
I considered watching One Piece but even if I do a cut together version like One Pace Im not gonna do it anytime Soon. … Might read it though one day. I watched like first 100 episodes or so as a Teenager ages ago.
One Piece is really good as a manga. Many of the arcs are self-contained and the pacing is really good. It’s only the Toei anime that ruined One Piece’s reputation by having such a terrible adaptation (some episodes go as low as half a chapter per episode, complete with redundant flashbacks and extended reaction shots).
There’s a definitive edition full color manga that uses the highest quality scans with redone translations. It covers the first two major sagas (23 manga volumes).
Its not that I’m not interested in watching it, it’s just that I don’t really want to spend a whole year of my life watching an anime (even if it’s a legitimately good one). Especially the fact that, as you said, the OG anime has a ton of filler and pacing issues makes me kind of nope out. Plus even the fast One Pace version would take me probably over half a year of watching…
Like, I’d rather watch 10 really good shows that are long, like JoJo or Adventure Time, than just One Piece in the same time.

At this point my brain won’t allow me to switch

Yeah reading it seems MUCH more likely for me.
