I tried it after seeing the pirate flag thing being used in Nepal Gen Z Protests and I thought it must be a cool story if its so popular, so I tried watching it... and I got bored so quickly. I mean, it just feels very weird to me, doesn't "click" for me, oh well, I guess my brain is just different.

    Or ypu know you aren’t the actual target audience for One Piece which is children.

    Tbf, Avatar: The Last Airbender was also made for kids, but I quite enjoyed it as a young adult (even though it does have "cringy" moments). I guess One Piece just doesn't have a "deep" overarching story like a world war, propaganda (talking about the fire nation), and genocide.

    I assure you, One Piece is very much not child friendly later on. The first like 700 episodes build up to a specific story arc (Wano). The current (anime) arc has a major back story of a characters life which includes him begging to be allowed to die as a child.

    That and the anime pacing is terrible.

    If you're actually interested you can just try the Netflix show. It's a watered down version but it's decent enough to give an idea of what makes it have so many fans. The Anime is just weekly television that's been running for decades - it was never meant to be binge watched.
