You say that like an author would willingly sacrifice entire decades of their life on a whim on the chance to "surpass One Piece", as if that's not an active anomaly.
Ayakashi Triangle #3 (39,777) - 4 Days
Have in mind that UU 6 (and the series of that month) was affected by distribution issues, so Week 1 was lower than it should have been. Mashle's volume that released the same month, was down almost 30,000 copies vol to vol in its first week (also 4 to 3 days).

Have to say, Matsui is already delivering possibly the best color work in the entire magazine. His illustrations are genuinely breathtaking.Have in mind that UU 6 (and the series of that month) was affected by distribution issues, so Week 1 was lower than it should have been.

Sakamoto LCP (one half of it), Ayakashi CP and Elusive CP
If we talk about series that had even a remote chance of surpassing One Piece, the only series that had even a remote chance are Demon Slayer and Dragon Ball. Dragon Ball aside, Demon Slayer would have only beat One Piece if it maintained its popularity for an additional 40 volumes, or about 6.5 years. That isn't the biggest feat but it's still absurdly impressive.
Also Slam Dunk
I'd also add Hokuto no Ken tbh
How much has Fist of the Blue Sky plus all the spin-offs sold? Or are they already included in the 100m circulation of the original?
Chimera Ant, Pain Assault, Marineford, Dark Tournament and Goldy Pond
Top 5
One per series, because otherwise it would be boring:
Chimera Ant Arc (HxH), Enies Lobby (OP), Treasure Island (Dr.STONE), Century Soup Arc (Toriko), Sasuke Retrieval Mission (Naruto)
Namek Saga (Dragon Ball), Water Seven/Ennies Lobby (One Piece), Chunnin Exams (Naruto), York City (HxH), Kyoto (Rurouni Kenshin)
