Doesn't surprise me at all. Theres a lot of depth to One Piece. Those that say the art is horrible haven't seen "Crayon Shin Chan" nor seen some of the BEAUTIFUL colour spreads and other treats Oda throws out. If one considers 85% of the manga is "crap" artstyle, then the final 15% makes up for it in boat loads. In comparison, many other artists have a good average art style, but cannot detail as much as that 15%. Oda's style is loose when it needs to be but tight and "wow" when it has to be.
