The One True Oden

The only counter example I know of is when Araki prevented the Phantom Blood movie from ever being released on any form of home media. That movie doesn't exist except as trailers and a bizarre 16 minutes of footage a film student found that doesn't have any dialogue.

But I don't know if the kind of ownership that Araki has over JoJo is different from the deal Oda has with OP. It's from about 10 years earlier, after all, the contracts could be different.

I don't think it's ever been confirmed that Araki directly prevented the home release of Phantom Blood, just fandom hearsay.

I'd take advantage of the fact that Devil Fruit powers are unique by collecting the rarest and most powerful fruits on each of my characters, eating them, then permanently logging them off so no one else can get those powers.

Jokes on you, the MMO takes place in the far future where all Devil Fruits have been replicated, like Kizaru's.

Nah, they just implement the Hammer ability, where if your devil fruit user doesn't log in within a certain amount of time, they 'drown'.

They didn't power level, some high level character snuck in and gave them a stupid rubber devil fruit.

I love the image of Kuro or Wapol sitting down and furiously typing up a long missive on their computer about why the rubber fruit has to be nerfed or how Luffy or Shanks cheated.

Wapol had a long post written out, but deleted it when he figured out how to get rich selling toys on the AH. Now he spends his time praising the devs and shittalking his old guild.

2 years after release, people are complaining on the forums that the Blackbeard hacker group are stealing their Devil Fruit abilities while Odachiisoft admins do nothing about it.

There was one guy on the Upcoming Releases thread who used to post 'moon zone when?' every time the devs made an announcement. Everyone ignored him until he hacked the game and starred deleting maps while the players were still on them.

Nobody's quite sure what happened to him after that, or what it meant when something called 'Fairy Vearth' appeared in the code afterwards.

It's interesting that we finally get to see Sanji's dad. I'm betting this will be the one of the very rare occasions that Sanji breaks his "no-fists" rule to just slug him in the face, Sanji really seems to hate the guy a lot.
