I personally think there's even more story behind Doflamingo's background, and his "Joker" alias is just the beginning...

^Yeah, this whole scenario mirrors the Crocodile conflict in a lot of ways. That's why I also believe that the final battle against Dofla won't take place for a few more arcs (we'll most likely have a few smaller adventures in between, especially if the Wano country lies in the path between PH and Dresrosa).....

It's probably all of the above. The guy's been built up as to having a HUGE network of connections (for instance, let's not forget that Vergo's been working undercover for him for FIFTEEN YEARS). So for all we know, Vergo and most of the dudes hanging out with him at Dresrosa are his senior officers, while guys like Law and Bellamy count as the more fresh blood..... |

So yeah, I asked Aohige about it and he confirmed it:
OP WILL BE ON BREAK NEXT WEEK, SO DON'T EXPECT TO SEE A NEW CHAPTER THREAD UNTIL AROUND 10/3. I REPEAT: THERE WILL NOT BE A CHAPTER NEXT WEEK! Looks like we'll just have to spend the next week debating over our silly theories then! |

The biggest question I have right now is can Oda really finish this in 8 years?
He mentioned Summit War to be halfway point, and it have been almost 2 years since then... But right now there is so many interesting plot going on. Doflamingo is looking more an more like he's part of the end game with BB. We have the Tenryubito/Fishmen prophecy line is going on. Big Mom is first Yonku that is currently going after Luffy. Then the Marine under Akainu. That's not even mention the rest of Yonku or Supernovas.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. There's still so much left to be covered in this second half of the story. Oda has to get things moving more quickly while not reducing the quality of his writing. That's going to be the challenge.

I don't see the big deal if Oda don't finish in 8 years , remember this is a manga that was suppose to only last for 5 years .
He took about 12 years for the first part and now he taking even more breaks than before OP has another 10 years easy . I trust Oda not to rush anything and try to finish faster than he should . |

so we agree that in this arc the boss will be doflamingo and in the next chapter we will see the buffalo and baby 5 in punk hazard and we will have one explication about the monosuke and the dragons.
I think that luffy will fight with doflamingo without the help of law and this will be one fight for prepare luffy for the enemy of the next arc:big mom,but I think that luffy vs doflamingo will be one great fight. |

Remeber when Moria asked him? He asked "is it Sengoku?" and Doflamingo answered "Nope, try higher". I bet there's only a few ppl that have higher rank than fleet admiral and this guy has connection to them |

^Hey, believe it or not, he HAS rushed the story before. In fact, he did it right in the previous storyline since he was anxious to get to the New World as us readers were (I even recall him mentioning in interviews taking place before the timeskip that he wanted to get to the NW already).
But that being said, I don't see much of a reason for him to rush the story now. The current pacing is as fine as it is (and frankly, super-fast pacing is not always a good thing.... I even ranted about that a bit in the Toriko thread recently). As long as I still enjoy it, I don't really care if it takes him another 10 or 20 years to finish the story, honestly. Quote:
If it's surnames we're talking about, then you should be asking that question about roughly half the crew (last I recall, Usopp, Sanji, or Brooke don't have a last name, either)! |
