Mixes humour with fantastical action-adventure storyline. Unlike a lot of shounen, not every character is a teenager; you have a mix of ages and backgrounds (so again, not everyone is at school or some form of ninja school...) which adds a richness to the setting and a feeling that it's more than just generic wish-fulfilment crap like Bleach and Naruto.
As shown in the cross-over between these series, almost all the main characters deal some similarities, so do the villians, the major fights and most of the dialogue's and characteristics of people in the series. The storyline and the art are the things that are the things that are different for the most part, but for the rest, they are pretty similar.
They have almost the same huge pack of originalty, adventure, emotion, epicness and an uniquie style that makes One Piece the successor of the best anime/manga title. One Piece is destined to be as famous as Dragon Ball if it ever gets a decent dub.
Extremely long, highly popular battle shounen series that tells of a tale of epic adventure of our protagonists, Luffy and Goku. There are a lot of action scenes, as well as featuring heart-warming moments of friendship and family.

The story of One Piece is stronlgy influenced by Dragon Ball. Both have a strong, but silly main character, both are about friendship and strong will. If you liked the one, you'll most likely like the other as well.

Earlier dragon ball’s comedic elements in particular feel incredibly similar to one piece’s. Later on they change a bit in dragon ball, but still retain a similar tone somewhat.
Both are long running shonen with vastly long arcs with big drama pieces.

A shonen battle manga that starts as mostly comedic, but eventually becomes focused on the action adventure element. Bombastic fights make up the bulk of what's on the page.
MC has a deep desire to fight and a ferocious appetite.
Exceedingly well crafted world-building that is accentuated by timeless art.
