So I’ve started One Piece for the first time and this is also my first time watching an anime in sub. HOWEVER, sometimes it feels like the subtitles go by too fast. Any tips or tricks to watch sub better?

Two tips:
1. Practice reading.
2. Pause button.

if you're too stupid to read sub in 1x speed, don't do sub

Practice makes perfect. If you haven't watched a huge amount of stuff with subtitles before, it will take a bit of time to get used to, but you will slowly get better at being able at read and watch together. Good news is there's plenty of One Piece to watch, so you'll have plenty of practice with.
If you find yourself missing stuff, nothing wrong with pausing and giving things a reread, but don't let yourself become reliant on it, you'll get better the more you try without.

Really you need to improve your reading speed, and read all the text in one go. Often I am ahead of what is being spoken as a result. What I suggest for newcomers, is to pick more low event shows, like Yuru Camp, where the dialogue isn't extensive and missing anything isn't the end of the world.
