Of course One Piece is too long, but isn't that the problem for every manga (I mean a short manga is often short because it is not that good). Even Monster as 18 volumes, for me the good length is less than 10 volumes like Akira or Nausicaa. But that is mostly my french point of view used to reading BD, with the length Manga completely changes the link we have with the characters and their evolution (beside Gaimon chapter it is hard to suppress something to one piece :-) But really sometimes it was shorter, once I decided to only buy a serie when it is finished, with the manga I'm a bit screwed...
