To be fair, the similarities at this point are a bit too much. In the first chapter of Naruto, we are introduced to the weakest of the original four Hokage(Minato),before we learn about him being a child of prophecy. Oda clearly copied this, by having the weakest of the original 4 Yonko, introduced in chapter 1, be the child of destiny. @kekaro
The worst part is One Piece has gone on for so long and outlived all its peers to the point that even if Oda's ideas are all entirely original and he'd planned them for decades, other manga have come and gone using identical concepts, and so Oda's original ideas now seem boring and regurgitated.
This is what happens when you pointlessly keep a character as a silhouette for 8 years. Oda gatekeeps info for no reason and wastes countless chapters on pointless plot points, running the years up.
It was ass when Naruto did it and it's even worse with One Piece because Oda saw how ass it was for Naruto and is still doing it anyway smh.

Gorosei's authority room has those octagram shapes on the wall which implies magic were there from early stage of the story, and this years before Fairy Tail debut.
Oda’s pacing was always going to bite him in the ass. I’m sure Shounen Jump was going to try and milk One Piece for as long as possible, but inevitably it leads to the story looking unoriginal or a copy of those wrapped up years ago.

Well length is just length, it has nothing to do with originality
for example jojo’s is still older and longer than one piece and yet it has managed to steer clear of all these cliches of both design and story
Most Battle Shonen end up seeming similar at the end because they literally start similarly as well. One piece was similar to Naruto and bleach from the very start hence why it’s similar to them at the end too
jojo’s wasn’t similar to anything even from chapter 1 that came out a decade before One piece and that’s why it’s remained weird and unique to this day
She comes off as a lot more competent and has better powers. She also canonically had an entire family, while Imcel is still fixated on 800 years ago shyt.
Naruto, to me, is just some roadkill to be swerved.
The more recent One Piece developments? Not my direction at all. I guess in hindsight the introduction of Imu meant there was no turning back, though, and now we have the most literal black and white, good vs evil story possible. But I think execution is generally good and none of the good stuff is exactly gone.
I think what’s interesting more is all the characters complex motives that fit within the good vs evil dynamic. There are plenty of caveats and unpredictability here. There is plenty of gray mixed in to throw off the black and white.
I think plenty of this stuff around gods in OP was foreshadowed in Skypiea
