One Piece and Naruto have some of the biggest fandoms in the entire industry, and often fans engage in trolling the other side, Naruto was one of the best anime that was made but it had a major issue for which it was trolled heavily by One Piece fans. However, the time has taken a full circle and now One Piece fans find themselves in the same dilemma for which they trolled Naruto.
One Piece and Naruto are the biggest names in the industry and have a fanbase that consists of millions, trolling between these two sides has been going on as long as these titles themselves, however, One Piece fans used to highlight the fact that Naruto consists of way too many fillers.

What issues have concerned One Piece fans?
When you adapt long manga like Naruto and One Piece pacing is always an issue, it is a common problem in the anime and manga industry. The problem arises when the anime comes way too close to the manga since manga chapters take a lot of time to release and sometimes even take weeks to get out of one chapter.
About 3 years since i started the show… And I'm finally cough up.
One piece takes 300 episodes to get good, 600 to get great and 900 to get fucking phenomenal. And i still cant recommend it to anyone because of the horrendous time sync and the anime pacing problems. https://t.co/eMUzigJZVq pic.twitter.com/vpWeeqzPX5— FilthyRamenKing (@FilthyRamenKing) September 10, 2023
This causes problems for the anime as if they went too quickly they would catch up with the manga and might have to go on hiatus or even add filler. This is the problem that the One Piece fandom is going through.
A major chunk of One Piece episodes are filled with flashbacks which to a limited extent is needed for context but the usage of flashbacks to slow down the pacing has angered the fans who have taken it to Twitter.

One Piece has a huge fandom consisting of millions and people who have grown up watching the series. However, the studio does not have much choice but to keep this pacing as the manga chapter release frequency has gone down a lot in recent times.

Even though Naruto had a lot of fillers the pacing of the series was just fine but it was trolled heavily by other fans right now it looks like One Piece fans can begin to relate with Naruto.
