One piece is a better manga/anime than Naruto

Please note that I am solely lining out my arguments in this round and will not be rebutting. (in future i will make first round the acceptance round) My first point of contention is storyline. Although One Piece and Naruto are similar in fashion and develop quite nicely, One Piece has several more grand story arcs that contain less filler chapters/episodes than Naruto. The inserting of minor story arcs such as the foxy pirates mini arc provides a basis to add depth and interconnected plot to the world of one piece. As an example, although Haki (an important power in the world of one piece) was not fully named and explained until around the 600'th chapter it appears in the very first chapter/episode of One Piece and makes appearances in some form in every other arc. Mini arcs such as Nico Robin's (a female protagonist in One Piece), Luffys (the male protagonist) and Zoro's (another male protagonist) contain background stories which provide depth and drive to the characters of One Piece. The main character of One Piece all have big dreams in One Piece and background stories. Characters such as Nico Robin, Zoro, Luffy, Ussop (male protagonist), Sanji (male protagonist and chef) and Nami (female protagonist. .. you get the picture i will only be talking about protagonists) all have backgroundstories that provide reasons for their drive in life. This drive comes in the form of dreams, Nami has always felt enclosed and trapped by pirates that stole her for her map making talents and killed her (adoptive) mother. This emotive tale explains to use that when Nami is freed by Luffy she wishes to help him and follow her dreams of making maps of the world (because her mother always complemented her maps). Sanji wishes to find the 'all blue' a sea filled with all the different fish of the world. He does this because his backstory is that he was once stranded with a pirate on an island, he finds out that he was the only one with food and both man and boy are dying of starvation. After they are saved Sanji vows to find the all blue to help cook the best meals in the world so that people can experience the pleasure of food. There are more developments for each of the characters but I will stick to these for time constraints. Although Naruto has character development for their main character Naruto it tends to lack in underlying plotlines for characters that are not as important including enemies. One Piece provides background to some (not-recurring) enemies such as Arlong the pirate (he was pushed around and people were racist to him because he's a fishman) and if no backstory is provided the character is usually utilized to further the plot. e. g a pirate named Krieg gives an explanation to how terrifying the Grand Line is, a sea the characters must travel to. As my second point I will expand on the themes of One Piece. One Piece is a narrative that has many intricate themes within it. One Piece often uses respect, anger, vengeance, comradeship and even hatred. These themes often contribute to plot schemes within the manga. Anger at the government often leads to rebellion within a city and puts the country depicted in jeopardy. Respect is another theme which adds to the plot as some story arcs have respect as a sole motive for reason or as a means of saving the protagonists life. As an example I will reference a time when an enemy defeated the main protagonist Luffy and his friends. After this beating all were lying unconscious but before the enemy could kill Luffy, Zoro comes and despite his wounds asks to take in all the pain his friends have suffered (as the transferral of pain is a characteristic of this enemy) and he asks this despite being heavily wounded himself, fully expecting to die. This act of respect shows the depth that underlying themes can add to One Piece. As for the third point, characters in One Piece. One Piece has a wide variety of characters that differ in every arc as to their motives and powers, much like Naruto. Unlike Naruto which I find predictable as either somebody starts losing and makes a comeback, another person interferes in the fight or the person that is no longer central to the plot is killed/beaten One Piece has a wide variety of plot twists that are fully utilized through characters personalities. When the previously mentioned pirate Don Krieg is about to be introduced he is followed by a pirate by the name of Gin. Gin initially appears to be a minor character and is starving, nice and respectful of the crew. Gin eventually betrays the protagonist Sanji and attacks him providing an unpredictability I do not see in Naruto. As a further unpredictability the fight is later interrupted by an even stronger man that is passing by and who nearly kills Zoro. (I know I mentioned people interfering as a cliche in Naruto but I mention this as it does not happen often in One Piece). Thanks for reading, I look forward to your reply :)
