How big will it be after the Oda's done with it ? DB was huge from the time its manga ended till Toriyama came back 18 years later with BOG so will One Piece be able to last that long without Oda ?
Much larger than Dragon Ball. One Piece has it's own theme park, own bars, own PHD thesis papers. One Piece is part of Japanese lifestyle, every one in 3 people in Japan has read One Piece. That's literally almost every household. It's not even comparable, just check out yearly manga sales over last 10 years and see how One Piece dominates the industry.
Toyotarō: … I get the feeling I’ve just heard something amazing (laughs). Lord Beerus and Whis turn up in Dragon Ball Super, and have become an unsurpassable wall for Goku and the gang. What do the two of them mean to you?

Toriyama: Well… First off, right now I don’t have any plans for Goku and Vegeta to surpass Beerus and Whis.

WOW, I didn't know that. I knew it was big but not THAT big.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

This is an absurd necropost bump. There's already a current thread for discussing what the franchise is made.
Direct translations of the Korean DB Online timeline and guidebook.
My personal "canon" and BP list. (Coming Soon)
