It means you cant write essays defending the author when the author himself says that "I made up this shit 5 chapters ago, I didnt think fans will like it this much". He does it litetally every time he gets a chance to speak about OP story.
I stopped caring about One Piece when Oda said this:
"For the concept, think of it as if I suddenly drew
Tom and Jerry," Oda explained. "When I tried to draw it, it was actually difficult. The world of
Tom and Jerry works because of the two of them. I suffered because of the difference in attitude when I looked at Luffy being the only one making pranks in battle and his opponent not. But I feel this time I was able to draw it."

It is plagiarism:
I wonder how Oda get away with this lol
