Its alright. It just doesn't have the epic One Piece feel to it. More corny and silly.
For example, the battle at Baratie with Mihawk, where Zoro on his defeat asks if [Luffy] the Pirate King has a problem if he never loses again.
Nope. No mention of the first mate calling him the Pirate King, foreshadowing so much adventure. It also occurs out of sight of nearly everyone but the crew. Like someone found a back alley entrance (on a fucking ship in the middle of nowhere), even though the restaurant seems more populated with people than in the manga/anime.
I can say that I don't hate it because it would be considered a poor version of the 'book' 30 years ago. With cultflation that's like gold flecked cocaine these days.
