One Piece...so who read? :D

[sdnoob]

IIRC, Rave Master which is by the same author/artist as Fairy Tail came out at more or less the same time as One Piece.

I know Wikipedia isn't the most credible source, but oh wells.
One Piece ran since 1997 while Rave Master ran from 1999 to 2005, that doesn't mean it wasn't made beforehand, but just a bit of info.

And according to this site: http://www.mangaupdates.com/authors.html?id=750

QUOTEHis artwork and Eiichiro Oda's are greatly similar, but that is due to both of them being influenced largely by Akira Toriyama's work growing up.

So I had some wrong information in my previous post.
