Vent: My friend Mark told me to skip the first 20 episodes of One Piece and I should have listened

I started watching One Piece last month and was dead set on watching every single episode from the beginning. My buddy Mark said to just start at episode 21 because the early stuff is filler and slow. I told him no way, I wanted the full experience. After 15 episodes of boring pirate antics I finally skipped ahead and he was totally right. I wasted like 6 hours on episodes that didn't matter at all. Has anyone else had a friend give you skip advice that you wish you took?

So you watched 15 episodes before giving in? Which ones made you finally break? I bet it was the episode with the weird clown pirate guy, wasn't it. I tell people to start at Arlong Park because that's where the show actually gets good. But a lot of folks get defensive and insist on watching everything from the jump. It's like they think skipping is cheating or something. What was Mark's reaction when you finally admitted he was right?

Skip straight to Arlong Park, you're missing half the setup.
