Then I suggest you to read the manga from the old chapters... maybe at the beginning the art was not so amazing, but seriously if you download some HQ scan sagas like Skypiea are amazing and you can appreciate the art of a good landscape view more in the manga then in the anime. So you can start at the beginning of the BW saga or at the beginning of the Skypea saga or even later... you should read at least the chapter that the anime already covered.
