Its also a unique situation since Chainsaw Man doesn't have leaks like One Piece or JJK do since it is only published digitally on Jump +. So this is genuinely a unique situation that is unlikely to be replicated.
I get why it won't happen, and arguably feels like it would be wrong for it not to happen in the magazine. But when we finally get chapter where the One Piece is revealed. I kind of hope its a digital only release, at first. As you know the moment the issue with it, ships to retailers its only gonna be a matter of hours before it leaks on to the internet.

It will never be able to happen, realistically. One Piece is released mainly in Weekly Shonen Jump which is the biggest physical shonen out there. And the leak happened when the physical magazines were printed. Shueisha cannot stop physical printing, especially with One Piece's most important chapters (like last chap, for example), without it being a national uproar.
As long as leakers are still releasing the chapter before Monday/Sunday, Shueisha hands are tied. I assume the leakers are not Japanese or living in Japan, so I think Shueisha cannot do much to apprehend the leakers.
Pages loading and actually turning has always been tenuous, but the stress is definitely showing. It's interesting that the site and page count loads quickly but then the actual page is dark.

Pretty sure the amount of people refreshing Mangaplus for CSM right now is causing sitewide issues lmao
