Nope, One Piece is unique! Oda may have been influenced by Dragon Ball (who hasn't?), but he's crafted his own world and style.

Nah, One Piece didn't copy Dragon Ball. Both are epic in their own right, but they just share the same shonen roots.

Nah, One Piece didn't copy Dragon Ball. While both are epic shonen manga and anime that have inspired countless others, they're different beasts. One Piece sails through the seas with its unique story of pirates and treasure, while Dragon Ball blasts through with high-powered martial arts and aliens. Sure, they share some common shonen themes like friendship, adventure, and overcoming challenges, but that's just the nature of the genre. Plus, One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda has spoken about being inspired by Dragon Ball, but inspiration is far from copying. Each has its own rich world that stands on its own!

Short answer: No. Long answer: Still no, but they're both legendary in the anime world.
