No matter how evil or powerful the villains are, Luffy consistently spares them after defeating them – not even truly monstrous characters like Spandam, Doflamingo, or Hody Jones have been finished off by him. This habit has led some to criticize One Piece for giving its characters too much protection from permanent consequences.

Furthermore, the story itself requires Luffy to show compassion to maintain the overall tone of One Piece.

The recent return of free logins for Final Fantasy 14 came at a difficult time for the game. Since late 2025, Final Fantasy 14 has been repeatedly targeted by distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, specifically aimed at its North American servers. These attacks worsened after the release of the final, most challenging version of the Arcadion raid on January 6th, with players reporting over a dozen disruptions and disconnects. These server problems hindered players’ performance in the new raids, and some teams even lost opportunities to win boss battles because of the attacks. Fortunately, the attacks mostly stopped by January 8th, after several raid teams successfully completed the challenging Arcadion raids.
