When do the graphics get better in One Piece?
Honestly, if you're in it for the graphics, just stick through the first couple hundred episodes (I know, I know, but really). Things start to look a lot cleaner and crisper by the time you hit the Water 7 arc. But let me tell you, the story before that? Chef's kiss. Don't skip.

207. Water 7. That's it.
Just to add, besides the Water 7 arc, another significant bump in quality happens around episode 517, starting the Return to Sabaody arc, post-time skip. The character designs and animation get even better, making it a feast for the eyes!
Oh, the glow-up is real! One Piece starts showing significant improvement in graphics around episode 207, which kicks off the Water 7 arc. That's when you'll notice the animation gets smoother and the overall quality takes a leap. Before that, it's a bit of a vintage charm, but hang in there, the upgrade is worth it!
Graphics? One Piece is all about the story and characters, man. But if you gotta know, yeah, it does get visually better around the Water 7 saga. Still, the early art has its charm!
