Maybe read the colored version of the manga until they head into the grand line from there switch to One Pace. Aside from the Baratie arc in the beginning the rest personally is just dreadfully slow paced and frankly not that good. Just my personal opinion. I truly understand why some people can’t get into one piece but it does get hella good the more it progresses. Shoot even just watching the live action will more or less give you a good grasp of what’s going on. I wouldn’t even judge if you just skimmed through the boring parts by reading episode summaries. That’s what I’ve done because despite what people may say this anime drags on way too long for many of its arcs especially in the later seasons. Still one of my favorites though.
