Only a matter of minutes pass per chapter (on average) and only 1 chapter comes out each week (and sometimes less), therefore, the story timeline is uncomparable with the time it takes for it to come out. (I know this wasn't the subject of the comment, just a side note and some sort of intro to my reply).

Anyways, on to topic. Yes, time moves very slowly in One Piece indeed. As you probably already know, One Piece is one of the longest mangas and animes out there, therefore, there is more time and space to insert every little piece of information. It also allows the insertion of long pauses even at rather insignificant times and without too many skips of any sort (mostly short, yet still important). There's certainly a bright side to all this - the story is more comprehensible and full of details. However, on the other hand, it might also become slightly boring and frustrating or rather disappointing as you have to wait at least a week or so to see just another single chapter (or in other words, on most occasions, just a couple more minutes through the storyline) which might not contain enough for many opinions.

P.S. Congrats on the 100th comment ;)
