So as we seem to get a power that feels incredibly OverPowered, even in the world of One Piece...
Anyone think that we have a meta reason for this as well? We've known that Oda hasn't been in the best of health for YEARS, even with his regular breaks. Add in the deaths of some very famous mangaka within the past year... maybe Oda is trying to speed things up so that One Piece is actually finished, even if he has to resort to Deus ex Machina for it? True, we've had at least SOME level of foreshadowing, but the execution was sloppy. Again, I feel like this is because Oda is feeling his own mortality after all these years.
