One Piece is full of Devil Fruits. Devil Fruits, when consumed, gives a specific ability to its users in exchange for their ability to swim. In the case of Portgas D. Ace’s Mera Mera no Mi, it allows him to become and control fire at Will. But he is a deadweight on the sea since he cannot swim. There are three types of Devil Fruits – Logia, Paramecia, and Zoan.
As the story of One Piece progressed, fans got to experience new Devil Fruits and their abilities, with a few of them having amazing abilities that were beyond their expectations. But there is a particular Devil Fruit, which costs a lot. Its value is even more than Shanks’ bounty. Most people might think it to be Luffy’s Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, but that is not the one.

Luffy has gone through countless battles in the span of the last 1000+ chapters of One Piece. From receiving severe injuries to returning from the doors of death, there isn’t a single feat he hasn’t achieved.
While all of these are commonplace tactics of Shonen heroes and are somehow expected of them, it still doesn’t make everything right. Luffy’s frequent use of his Gear techniques has taken a heavy toll on his body, and no one knows how long he has left.
In fact, Rob Lucci pointed out early in the series that the techniques will eventually take their toll on Luffy’s body. However, given the troubles he and his crew face daily, Luffy never had the time to think about it. Yet, what if the damage suddenly catches up on his body in a crucial fight? How will he live? Has Eiichiro Oda been building...

Three of the top five channels in this week’s U.S. Top 50 surged forward after increasing their respective view counts by at least 40% week-over-week.
Those hubs led a field that includes five channels with at least 350 million views. And it should come as no surprise that most (but not all!) of those channels amassed their chart-topping totals on YouTube Shorts.

Rainbow Friends Fans continued its remarkable ascension during the first full week of March. A month ago, the short-form content destination wasn’t even on our radar, but it has become a force by offering video game references and jokes catered to Gen Alpha.

Struggling media company Vice Media Group said on Monday it had filed for Chapter 11 protection to facilitate its sale to a subset of its backers.
The company said in a court filing that it listed both assets and liabilities in the range of $500 million to $1 billion (available at this link). According to Vice Media, substantially all of the company’s international entities and the Vice TV joint venture with A+E Networks are not part of the Chapter 11 filing.
In a statement, Vice said that it had agreed to the terms of an asset-purchase agreement with a consortium of lenders. These include Fortress Investment Group, Soros Fund Management and Monroe Capital. The consortium agreed to provide total purchase consideration of approximately $225 million in the form of a credit bid for substantially all of the company’s assets, in addition to the assumption of significant liabilities upon closing. In addition, Vice secured...

Bruce Dixon and Hozefa Lokhandwala have been on the job for less than two weeks as co-CEOs of Vice Media Group. But despite the newness of their current roles, Lokhandwala and Dixon are already well versed in the inner workings of the Brooklyn-based company, having served for several years in senior roles under recently exited CEO Nancy Dubuc.
Lokhandwala has been chief strategy officer at Vmg since October 2018, and Dixon has held the position of CFO since 2021 and was previously CFO of Vice Studios. Both were brought in by Dubuc — who departed the company Feb. 24 after nearly five years as CEO — and now seek to follow in her footsteps while shaping the future of Vice, a company that has been seeking a buyer over the past year.
Vice Media’s investors include Disney, Tpg, James Murdoch’s Lupa Systems, the Raine Group and Wpp. Last month, the cash-strapped company secured...
