One Piece Manga

I got the first three volumes of the English language manga of One Piece in order to help me translate the Taiwanese versions that I have.  It's been a fun read so far, but it is a bit of a mystery how it got so popular because, at least for me, a lot of the attraction to the series is the quite literally the color art, which the manga does not have (except for the cover art and various posters). The manga was hugely popular in Japan before the anime.
