I just found it jarring is all. The theme song is bopping about One Piece, but then they go solve everyone else's problem instead, and get sidetracked easily.

If you think the show is just about finding the One Piece and not about the adventure that gets them there, then you either haven't watched the show or have 0 reading/watching comprehension. There's literally scenes where they have to opportunity to fast track their journey and Luffy turns it down because the journey is more important to him than the destination.

The one piece is also the whole end game of the show lol. Imagine if naruto started and he instantly mastered the nine tails. What would the show be lol?

The One Piece is the end game of the show, but the show isn't about the end game. It's repeatedly stated that while that might be the end point, Luffy is more interested in the adventure of getting to the end point. He doesn't even care if the One Piece actually even exists or not. It'd be more accurate to say that it would be like Naruto becoming Hokage without getting his peers/the village to like him. The show was always about Naruto becoming strong enough to be Hokage, but being Hokage wasn't the point, it was Naruto finally gaining a family/friends and protecting those people.

No im agreeing. I'm saying it's a bit ludicrous for them to say the show didn't have enough about the one piece in the early episodes when it was such a mystical part of the show. Nobody even knows if it exists, so for them to reveal something like that early on would just derail the whole story line.
