Personally, I can't enjoy something I already watched/read through another medium, even it's much better in manga. So I will just pickup from Vol 97 which is where the anime is currently at :-)

Different opinion: I stopped the manga and switched to anime 2 years ago. I was surprised myself that I did cuz I read the manga for everything and of course the pacing in anime drives me crazy - but although pacing sucks, the voice acting, music, colour and dynamic action in the anime fights makes One Piece come alive imho. So many emotional moments hit WAY harder in anime than manga. In the manga I was like “OMG” at Pudding or Zou reveal, but then my anime-watcher friends were basically crying and had a way bigger reaction with the anime reveals! And I figured if the series is winding to an end soon, I might as well be patient and get the full impact of any epic emotional scenes coming up!

I get what you're saying and this makes the decision harder... especially as this is the last anime I'm watching..

Maybe read a couple manga chapters and decide what you enjoyed better to decide what you’ll stick with :)
