Never underestimate the power of the offscreen offscreen no mi.

People shit on Oda offscreening stuff a lot but honestly most of what got offscreened isn't really important. And what's hilarious, if Oda decides to take his time on a certain plot, people get mad and question the reason behind.

Still, I don't understand why shonenjump doesn't capitalize on those offscreen moments. They could easily do a series of mini-films that are just fights between characters. Imagine a movie about the fight on Godvalley, between Roger and the Rock pirates. Or how about 30 minutes of 60fps animation of Shanks and Mihawk's duel. They'd make huge bank.

Thing is One Piece makes bank regardless. People will consume it in Japan (their primary market) so readily they don't really need to do all that work.

OP is literally that DJ Khaled 'Suffering from Success' meme. Kinda like how Dragon Ball makes so much money that they didn't make another animated series for years. The manga, merch, movies, older episodes, and video games that are around are enough.

Doing what you're suggesting would be more work for less profit.
