Creative ways to get your friends to watch One Piece.

[Drake]

So, i've run dry out of ideas on how to get my friend group into One Piece. After several years of coercing my friends to watch it, I've only succeeded twice.
My recent ploy is that I'm offering $100 to the first person who can watch/read all of One Piece (to date), and can honestly say One Piece isn't the best anime/manga they've ever seen/read.
Even with that offer, only three people have taken me up on it.

SO! Please help me out my fellow One Piece brethren.

Well, One Piece isn't for everyone lol. Why do you want to coerce them into watching it? My friends just got into it 6 years after the fact cause I started showing AMVs then they sorta got themselves hooked. Sometimes you just need to let it happen naturally lol.

Oh boy!

• Slip on headphones of One Piece's music while they sleep so they can have beautiful dreams of ~ADVENTURE~.
• "Accidentally" watch some of the more action-y / interesting parts in front of them and when they ask what series it is, say, "Oh, it's One Piece, but only people who are caught up are allowed entry past this point… Sorry" then close your laptop shut.
• Do the "courage" trick from Nisemonogatari. Don't make it in their face though. Simply say subtle stuff like, "Well, not everyone has the courage to get into a series like One Piece, haha. But for the cool cats out there who DO... I salute them. They are vastly rewarded for their efforts." or "People are afraid of their true potential, so they're afraid of how awesome One Piece will make their life, haha" or "Well, some people don't have the courage to see past appearances, so One Piece may not be for them. But for people who DO..." etc.

This one will probably work. Get them to watch some movie or whatever that has to do with themes similar to One Piece, oppressive government that is taken down, etc. If they LIKE it, you win. All you have to do to clench it is say, "Oh, you liked that? Well, One Piece is like that but 100x better."

Refuse their refusal.

For boys, point at all the massive cleavages they'll get to witness. For girls, just make them pretend that Vic Mignogna sings all of the male openings and endings.

Ask the question on Waffles' avatar, and say, if you like one piece, I'll give you waffles.

Ahem: For the girls, point out characters like Smoker, Law, Shanks, Benn, Zoro, Drake and other bishies.

Subliminal messages. Just hide notes saying "watch one piece" all over the place. No where they'd directly see it but places it'll catch the corner of their eye.

Damn straight. I also like the hundreds of notes around the house.
