First Time Watching the OG One Piece: The East Blue Saga

Thoughts on the original first season of One Piece: The East Blue Saga. I was familiar with the series as a kid thanks to 4Kids (lol), but never watched the original Japanese version. I was excited to start watching the original from the beginning. I wanted to make a sort of love letter, expressing how I enjoyed the season. Hope you enjoy.
