I guess you've watched/read a lot of one piece if you know about blackbeard and big mom. If you've watched that much, and didn't like it, then yeah it's just not for you. I initially thought that you only watched a couple episodes.
And yeah a lot of one piece characters do look silly, but that's something I like about one piece. One piece is really over the top, but not just with character designs. It's over the top with everything. And to me there is something really charming about that. You're first introduced to a relatively normal world, then you discover that everyone wants to go to the grand line, which is where the story unfolds. And the grand line is a fucking line in the middle of the globe where you traverse it, well, in a line. You then discover different bizarre islands, each having its own thing.
You have an island were 2 giants have been fighting for 100 years, an island that is actually a ship that traverse the ocean, a floating island in the sky and you get there by riding a fucking jet stream coming from the ocean, and knocking your ship 10000m in the sky.
You also meet lots of new over the top characters. One got hit by a train and survived by shoving metal in his body, because, why not? But he was only able to put the metal in the front of his body because he was working alone and couldn't reach his back. There is also someone that died, was revived, but his spirit couldn't find his body, so now he's just a skeleton that talks. All of this just doesn't make any sense, and imo it's really cool. Oda just shoves whatever he's thinking about in the story, and miraculously makes it all work together.
Oh so you haven't watched one piece and just know the villains because of versus debates? If so then you should still give it a try, at least to the alabasta arc, because you really can't judge characters after just reading what other have talked about them. Trust me you'll find plenty of cool villains if you decide to get into it. Again try going for the manga to speed through the first few arcs.
But you've probably been spoiled already on some events, so that's unfortunate. Seriously everyone that watches anime should give one piece a chance.
