Episodes 1-516 (pre-timeskip) are absolutely worth it. If you think it starts out slow, reach Arlong Park arc (episode 31). It has everything that makes One Piece great. If you still don't like it, drop it. Episodes 517 and onwards (post-timeskip), despite having high highs, reach previously unimagined lows, so if you're willing to push on, prepare for dissapointment. It's a mixed bag. You can switch to manga to skim through the terribleness, or just drop the whole thing when things get way too retarded to stomache.
