Translation was a bit wonky, but it sounded like Fujitora had a change of heart. He was upset that the Navy couldn't be viewed as heroes in this situation because they'd be helping Doflamingo's twisted goals instead of helping the people. Same thing happened with the citizens of dressrosa, who realized that playing along with Doflamingo's game was pointless. Everyone put their chips on Luffy, basically.

Doflamingo is basically Joker from Batman.
As for Fujitora, I think that it was Sabo who was telling him in flashback that he felt that it was absurd that Doffy had set things up so not even Marines could be heroes in Dressrosa. I think that Koala was telling him off for saying he had sympathy for the marines in case it ruined his image in the revolutionary army. The "birds of a feather" comment was a bit weird and might relate to Flamingo's image with his feathered cape. Confusing either way as either could have said it as context was missing.

He is... Varys?
Fujitora backing up Luffy makes sense once Doflamingo showed his true colors. He must think "let them beat each other up and when they are done I'll arrest the ones left alive". Now, he doesn't know that Sanji has been hanging out with Big Mom and she has fallen for him, that will be Fujitora's downfall.
Because Sanji has totally been hooking up with her. It is known.
He strikes me as a more psychopathic version of Greed from FMA, to be honest.

Doflamingo is probably my favorite OP villain in quite a while.
I'm so looking forward to the inevitable Bellamy team-up with Luffy and Law.

I hope Bellamy defeats Doflamingo, or does the finishing blow. Doflamingo hates being looked down on, and it could quite possibly be the most embarrassing thing that could ever happen to him.Doflamingo is probably my favorite OP villain in quite a while.

I could imagine a Whitebeard-esque moment where Bellamy stabs his sword right through Doflamingo from behind because Dofy's too arrogant to even consider Bellamy might harm him later on in the fight.

Great comparison, even down to the infatuation with having/keeping his subordinates.

Yeah that makes sense
What is great about Doflamingo and may other pirate captains (Blackbeard, Whitebird, Buggy, etc.), is that they all act very sympathetic to there crew. Which makes sense on a most basic human level, since everybody needs and wants friends, but even more in a historical context. Pirate crews choose there captain. They were all free bandits, could always leave a crew after finishing a job and always vote for a new captain. So very strong pirates in One Piece have no reason to follow a abusive or stupid captain. Therefore Doflamingo actually be very nice to his whole crew, is a fitting characterization of the pirate theme.
On the other hand many leading man of the marines or government in One Piece act very cruel to there subordinates. No one from CP9 would follow Spandam, if he would be a pirate captain. The same goes for his father, Captain Morgan and many other leading people in the story.

Doffy is my favorite for caring though. It's never really mentioned at first but you slowly see it before it's even mentioned that they're also a family really.
Buggy doesn't care though. He used his own men for shields and was quick to throw them away. He does have Luffy's power where people rally behind him though.

Coby and Nami both were stuck serving pirates who were not sympathetic to their crews.
Buggy somehow manages to not be abusive to his crew and the running joke is that they are not bothered by his stupidity. Doflamingo is different in that he can be very abusive to his followers but is so intelligent and manipulative that he can get away with it.

Seems that way, don't know any other explanation for it.

My man be moving up in the world T.T
Oi, I just realized that the girl who is with
(Spoilers for Chapter 731 and onward)
That's so awesome.
I'm such a doofus for not catching onto that earlier. I shouldn't have rushed through the pages and read more carefully instead.
Sabo is Koala, the same girl that got rescued by the Sun Pirates and brought back to her village.
That's so awesome.

And that is a big reason not to skip Fishman Island. Because everything in One Piece matters.
Except Davy Back FIght.

But Afro Luffy....
True. But in the overall scheme of things, DBF is fairly pointless (even Oda said so himself... somewhere).
Also, we got Community'd.
No, I actually read that but I didn't realize that that was
the same girl as in the flashback
And she is a teacher of Fishman Karate and at that the first of her race that learnt it. That's so cool!
DBF was for the most part fairly boring, yeah.
Ah right.
Still, there are some people saying to skip Fishman Island, even though that is never a good idea.
It's like when Skypiea was fairly new and people were saying to skip it. Years later, oh look at all the plot elements that matter now!
DBF was funny. It had some cool gags like Afro Luffy. I think the arc was sort of needed after the epic Skypeia stuff. OP needed something weird and light especially because of what comes afterwards. I really like how DBF ends too with the introduction of Aokiji. It perfectly hinted at everything that was to come.
Donfla has been using Haki for a lot longer so it makes sense he'd be better at using it than Luffy. He's not going to be able to overpower this opponent, he'll need to get clever again.
One Piece isn't just a power level series though, so long as Luffy is near the same level as his opponents he can get a win by using what he's got more creatively. Look at Enis Lobby, he won those fights by using his powers in a new way.
Both brothers are kinda awkward people, one walks like a bird, the other is really extremely clumsy. What a weird family. 😂
Ah right, because he had the powers that Law now has. Yeah, he probably did that.
Couldn't he have fixed his clumsiness too with those powers?
That actually makes sense. Looking back that seems heavily implied so I feel pretty unobservant for not realizing that haha.
I also figure Dofy with only give hints about the national treasure so no major reveals...

I have a theory that the 5 Elder Stars celestial dragons are the original celestial dragons and have been using bonny to stay young. However, if Doffy could give them a more permanent solution than a pirate who has escaped before. I think he would have a lot of power over them. I wouldn't be surprised if Corazon was suppose to make somebody else immortal and then made Law immortal instead and then Law got his devil fruit as well.
Ahh man they put this in community. It won't be long before the two one piece threads accidentally bleed into each other.....

someone on the one piece reddit mentioned the fact sugar is eternally young. Maybe Corazon used his powers on her (as a test maybe) and then Law ran away with the fruit before Doffy could figure out how to use it again?
No, they already mentioned that the Hobby Hobby Fruit's side effect is keeping her young.
Zeus Molecules

you never know, that could just be a lie told to explain it. I mean 2 different fruits that can give people eternal youth in one arc. Even if its not the cause I hope they explain a reason for that.

That translation was incomprehensible. Thanks for the summary, BatDan.
Oh right, he's immortal (afaik) and can regenerate from a lot with the help of some milk for his bones. That's probably better than the Ope-Ope Fruits power, at least in regards to making someone immortal. :/
Apropos Brooke, I really want to see him fight someone again.

I always get a kick out of when the early translations are totally fucking incomprehensible
"Admiral Maynard, feel the pain of Sabo and Issho's victory."
"What the hell?"
"You idiot! The admiral at headquarters has highest "War Potential"! He's the pride of the navy!"
holy shit lmao
I didn't even see your post, or the summary
It's been a while since we've had one this crazy
thanks BatDan

Lol when I first read that I was like
Oh snap,,,, Traitor attack coming up
I guess they mean Celestial Dragons as in the nobles
but seriously that translation was unreadable
As RealTalker said, it's meant to be Celestial Dragon (or Tenryubito), but whoever translated didn't know jackshit.
Seriously, this chapter translation was on the level of Duwang in Jojo.
