Is One Piece anime canon?
Definitely! Most of One Piece anime episodes are based directly on the original manga by Eiichiro Oda, which makes them canon. However, like most long-running anime series, One Piece includes filler episodes that aren't part of the manga. These fillers are usually created to give the manga time to get ahead, but they're not considered canon by most fans. So, if you stick to the episodes that directly adapt the manga, you're watching the canon storyline!

Canon is what you make of it, IMO. Yeah, the manga is the 'official' story, but some filler arcs in the anime are super fun and add to the characters. Just enjoy the ride!
Strictly speaking, not all of it. The manga is the true canon. The anime adds filler episodes that aren't in the manga. Stick to the manga if you're a purist.
Fillers can be skipped if you're a canon purist. But honestly, some are pretty entertaining and give more screen time to your fav characters. Why not give 'em a chance?
