I think we can attribute the lack of One Piece popularity to the poor start it got off to in the U.S. Given that it was dubbed by probably the worst dubbers in the nation, it suffered a great deal and turned many people off while Bleach and Naruto had far superior dubs.

The dubs made by the U.S normally go abroad to areas like Southeast Asia, which would've hurt One Piece around the world even more.
