The beginning shows important information about how the seas are connected & how the 'Calm Belts' work, so you may want to watch at least up to that point, although eventually the information will be repeated.This is the first filler arc, it's not bad, I personally like it.Optional Filler Episodes 54-61 - Warship Island / Apis Arc.Watch Episodes 52-53 - Loguetown (Continuation).It also reinforces Sanji's dream and reason to go on the trip, but it's not essential to the main plot. It shows how Usopp acquire one of his distinctive gadgets and also helps to develop his character, but It's not essential to the main plot. This episode is ok, but mostly comedic relief.Watch Episodes 48-49 - Loguetown (Continuation).You won't miss anything important if you skip it, although you may want to try the beginning to see if you like it or not. This is canon, but it's just a comedic side-story.Optional Episodes 46-47 - Buggy's Crew Adventure Chronicles.

It will keep getting better and better from this point on. You'll have to watch at least to the end of this arc in order to appropriately judge One Piece and to decide if you want to keep watching it or not.
