Completely agreed, it's too broken. He even had to come up with a "nerf" to stop Kaido and Big Mom having their personalities swapped with others or Law ripping their hearts or using Shambles on them etc.
If Law was doing the personality swaps as an awakening ability, I could accept that. It should have been a "Lobotomy" where he swaps the brains of the people and thus their personalities too.
I really hate the perrenial/infinite/eternal youth or immortality or whatever that special ability he has supposedly. If he can do that especially without awakening, I am so fucking done lol. Even with awakening it feels excessive and I feel it would the be perfect ability for Bonney's DF with her awakening instead.
Also Shinobu was only meant to be able to rot/age inorganic things but now Oda tried to go for a Shinobu aging Momo moment almost? As much as I love idea, I don't like Oda contradicting his own lore/rules for it, doing a retcon even. Unless he tried to excuse it that she never tried to use it on a person or so before?
Since we have a resurrection DF and a soul based DF as well as one that controls people's ages and thus even time itself, why not one based on immortality too? A specific DF for immortality? And it could be a peach shaped DF to match Chinese mythology?:

What next, Luffy's awakening can "stretch time"? "Stretch your lifespan" so you can live longer? Oh the perfect counter (!) to Gear 2nd supposedly draining lifespan as well as the hormone treatment Luffy got from Ivankov and whatever else reduced his lifespan, if there was anything else? I hope there's not going to be more "pointless lifespan draining" in future, I had enough of that shit coming up in Naruto alone!

Oda created a power system that he himself does not respect its limits.

Yeah thats another broken ass DF and underrated AF too, extremely dangerous potentially, like with Brulee's fruit too. But at least with hers, you can break mirrors? And probably a limit to who she can replicate as well.
I've been worried for years in how broken shit will get, Whitebeard tilting Marineford was amazing but WAY too powerful imo too. If that's not awakening either, then I don't even know what to say, especially as illness and age don't limit DF power too either, except maybe for Zoans? Honestly, Kaido making Onigashima fly is amazing too but for a Zoan? Even that is a bit much for me especially since he's just making it fly with clouds? But I suppose it's fitting for a Mythical to do that ofc...
Me and my friend theorised that Logias might have "infinite stamina/energy" and that's not even considering awakenings maybe?! But if Akainu and Aokiji really did permanently shift the landscape of Punk Hazard with their DFs and also thus the theories of certain other island's insane states being caused by certain other Logias too, then that is WAY too broken for me lol
At least with Luffy's gears, I really like how Oda did try to balance them, to give them some kind of limits, especially with Gear 3rd shrinking Luffy afterwards and Gear 4th draining his haki rapidly and such ofc.
There's also people talking about how immensely and insanely dangerous Buggy could be if he awakened his DF and his might be the strongest/most dangerous then, going by that logic? Mass atomic diassembly or whatever?
