Rayleigh is a nice example of that,despite of so many years just drinking and having a blast,he could still stand his ground against an Admiral,especially with such a troublesome ability such as Kizaru's. |

I really want to see a chapter/episode/movie when we get to see Roger & Rayleigh in their primes fighting the Yonkou of their time. I have sometimes wondered who were the people in the position of Yonkou before Big-mam and Kaido and the like. Since as we've seen, they can be replaced at any point in time(assuming there are people strong enough, brave, ballsy and/or stubborn/smart enough to beat them in existence). So maybe Kaido beat a predecessor and usurped his/her throne, so to speak. Last edited by Libros; 2013-01-31 at 14:32. |

As far as Dofla's decision goes, I'm sort of leaning towards him rejecting Law's demands, myself. However, the problem with that is that (and I'm sure this was mentioned already) he could STILL get in trouble with the marines if Smoker reports to HQ about Vergo. So unless he's well-connected enough with the WG to come up with a contingency plan, he'd be screwed whether he quits the Shichibukai or not. Personally, I'm not really seeing him going to anyone else within the marines to help him since his most trusted man (Vergo) is currently incapacitated, so it has to be someone else within the WG. Maybe he can hatch up some counterattack scheme against Law if he has connections within Cipher Pol or something.....

Whatever the case, I do expect DoFlamingo to chart his own course rather than be led or coerced. |

Seeing this made me reread those chapters concerning that event and I found out in chapter 595 that Doflamingo told that official he would quit the Shichibukai if he was given orders that didn't agree with him. This might mean he's less worried about the marines than he is about Kaidou, and he could accept Law's offer after all.

Yes, that was what I had in mind when making that post. After all, Dofla even mentioned that whoever ordered the hit on Moria had more authority than Sengoku. But I'm wondering if that person (or people) alone can pull enough strings to pull Dofla out of his tight spot? Hence my suggestion that CP agents may be best suited towards thwarting Smoker from reporting to HQ about Vergo's betrayal (and buying Dofla enough time to hatch up a counter-plan against Law)..... Quote:
Thing is, we gotta remember that the scene you're referring to took place before the timeskip. Needless to say, a LOT can happen in two years' time. So while it may have been easier for Dofla to give up his warlord status back then, chances are that quitting now would deal a huge blow to his current operation (and I'm pretty sure Law knows that, otherwise there wouldn't be much of a point in him making that deal in the first place). That's exactly the reason why I don't see Dofla complying with any of Law's demands in the first place..... he'd have nothing to gain and everything to lose (for one thing, it's not even guaranteed that Law will return Caesar to him if he went back to being a regular pirate). And more importantly, I doubt his pride would allow him to be humiliated by an upstart young whippersnapper who only recently became a warlord himself...... |

So I guess you forgot about this then (which, conveniently, was posted earlier this very page (thanks, Libros! )): Quote:
Even if Moria's old crew were fodder, that doesn't mean the captain himself was (and I doubt he'd have became a shichibukai if he weren't)..... |

One can easily tell that Doflamingo isn't used to being grabbed by the balls. He's genuinely pissed and uncomfortable at the thought of having an emperor or admiral on his ass. But after all the hype and build-up he's gotten over the years, I expect he'll have some kind of contingency plan to get himself out of this predicament (otherwise he'll lose some credibility as a villain).

Law seems to be man with a plan, a strategist might i say.. He makes the rule coz he's Law..
As for as ability goes, if ya're cut by him then it's game over.. Doflamingo hinting that his cut is not absolute with great haki but vergo is someone who got great haki and still cut easily by Law.. Hmm.. I think someone with a super sonic speed might stand a chance against him.. |

A little disappointed if Donflamingo is gonna get completely played by Law.
Donflamingo has been portrayed so far as a top tier adversary in command of the largest underground syndicate. A shichibukai unafraid of top marine officials because he responds to "higher" authority. He has his own planted vice-admiral. He controls the underground, going into the best opportunities with years of foresight. He was unafraid of Oars, Crocodile and Joz during the war. Ruthless with his subordinates and seems invincible with a DF power that looks like he can manipulate anyone. Now he is seen to be completely vulnerable? I don't get it, all the hype that been surrounding him since the Jaya arc it seems odd. I would like to see Donflamingo come up with some great counter strategy because he doesn't seem like the kind of guy which would be played. Last edited by golgo13; 2013-02-02 at 13:59. Reason: sp |
