From best to worst (only speaking art wise of course).
 * Kubo > Mashima (very close second) > Oda > Kishimoto
 * Kubo's art is phenomenal. The only thing I'd say is that he rarely draws backgrounds and that he doesn't have to worry about outfits as much as other mangakas since virtually all of his character's are in some kind of uniform.
 * Mashima's art is also phenomenal. The only reason I put him under Kubo is because Mashima's characters, for the most part, all seem to be unrealistic. In the sense that most girls have huge boobs and perfect curves and most guys have abs.
 * I put Oda third because despite how goofy his characters look, they are always drawn well. And the goofiness isn't really that much of an issue because the whole series in general is kinda goofy.
 * Kishimoto is last because even though I like how his characters look a thousand times more than I like how Oda's characters look, Kishimoto's drawings, while great, aren't always... up to scratch. He's one of the few mangakas who's characters I always think look better in the anime.

@Flispy I disagree completely. One Piece chapter by chapter isn't always that exciting, true. But I think that's more the Shakespeare effect. Meaning when you have to watch entertainment increment by increment it loses some of its effect and interest. However, as someone who was like a year behind on One Piece and watched the Dressrosa arc in one big go, I can tell you that Oda is a phenomenal story teller. The arc was amazing and even though I was thinking about giving up One Piece, watching the arc like that made me love One Piece all over again. So much so that I'm rewatching the entire series.
