Doflamingo has been teased and lingering in the background since Jaya. It would be kind of a waste to have such a mysterious character get killed off after their big focal arc.
Doflamingo is still going to have a role to play after his defeat, especially since he knows about the tenryuubito national treasure and his deep roots in the underworld.
It's a very cool concept.
Moria escaped.
I think it would be a good way to introduce the first Emperor Luffy has to fight in the series by having him kill of the previous, and very powerful, arc villain.

Yeah, Doflamingo said he just disappeared before he could kill him. It is assumed Absalom used his ability to make him invisible

I thought I remember Mihawk mentioning that Moria just suddenly vanished after the battle, implying that Absalom got him away.
The above was an interesting read. I never question why Luffy didn't kill opponents but it was odd that so little character death occurred leading up to Ace. I always thought it was just to make the first major death have more impact.

I remembering hearing somewhere that (don't quote me on this), that he he currently believes keeping pell alive was a mistake.
Also Monet is dead as well as Vergo etc, the barely anyone dies rule seems to have been dropped post time skip.
I expect more characters to die also.

I wouldn't be surprised if Monet and Vergo are alive. Especially Vergo.
Other characters have survived worse than an explosion.

Monet and Vergo are probably the subjects of a future cover series, honestly.

Monet had a knife through her heart visibly shown. She's dead Jim, otherwise the likelihood of Ace and Whitebeard surviving has gone greatly up.

Vergo and Monet got it pretty hard though. I know it's One Piece but still
Pell took a nuke to the face. Monet can survive a knife to the heart.

Also, Ace and Whitebeard's deaths were flat-out confirmed in story. Not left ambiguous.
Granted, Monet SHOULD be dead, but Oda could always pull some bullshit.
Monet probably joined after the flashback.

Thats what I mean about the gun shot from a bad guy.
How many guys have been annihilated only to come back later haha though this is a flash back so the odds are heavily stacked haha

That's not remotely the same. The amount of characters that have died from an explosion is pretty much none existent before and after pell. (Hiruluk is the only notable character and even that was due to the poison) The amount of characters that have died from gunshots and appropriately severe stab wounds are damn high. That's why I mentioned Ace and Whitebeard.
Yeah it'd be a bit of a stretch, though I can't say I would be mad about more Monet
He's X Drake. Look at the kid's chin, it has the X-shaped scar. "Dorry" is similar to how "Drake" is pronounced in Japanese, "Doreikku".
Anyway, what the hell? Why hasn't anybody mentioned this?

You peeps are all out for vengeance. I just want to see Doflamingo break down and see him turn for the better. I think it could be possible after what we've seen in the panel where he stands before Corazon, indecisive for a moment before he decides to shoot him. I feel like he's just a few steps away of realizing that what he did was wrong.

But he pulled the trigger and killed him... and his father.
I don't know, anything can happen with DD, though he will surely not die.
Also, does anyone remember which manga chapter covers the last fight against Magellan? i wanted to revisit that part...

It was.
Back to the present.
Grain of salt at the moment since "Pandas" but it sounds like Doflamingo lost his pace when Law revealed he's a D.
Another new name, Hyaku.
And yeah, it felt like a recap of what's been going on. It's been a while so it kind of makes sense.

The bedtime story turning true. When the Celestial Dragons kids misbehave, the clan of D will come and punish.
I'm still surprised Zoro has still yet to defeat Peeka. I understand Franky and Senor but him, he should've won by then.

I expect it to be the case it's just that it's much better if the fights all climax at the same time.

Back to the present, ending in sight, mixed with a brief recap of everything going on, as expected. Also cool that the biggest revelation of the flashback was put into play almost immediately

Solid recap and set up chapter for the final battles of the arc. Looking forward to seeing a more solid translation to see if there's any notable differences.
His reaction to Law saying he's a D is pretty telling proof he's shaken. The way things are paired off, there might actually be a chance where Luffy isn't the one to take down the big bad in an arc. Law definitely has dibs in this case and I'd be fine if it plays out that way.

Wait a spinoff manga? With what story?

Would certainly be going against the grain. Law is pretty popular and has a more personal investment against doflamingo. I know Luffy has always been this embodiment of righteous anger against the big bad but in this case Law is strong enough to do it himself.
Would be amazing if Law finished off Mingo on his own then Big Mom or whatever showed up and Luffy would've recovered from the nap he's currently probably taking.

Pretty crazy to think that once Doflamingo is beaten that effectively ends the Straw hat's involvement with the Shichibukai. When they were first introduced you would think it would be some final boss rush like so many manga do but One Piece has done a great job at making it feel like a position that relies more on propaganda than strength
There's still the seventh Warlord. The one that remains a mystery.
Plus, Zoro & Mihawk need to have their battle.
But yeah, the Warlords really are about name more than power. Buggy shows that.

Is there a seventh Warlord? I thought the numbers can fluctuate and Blackbeard's ascension to Yonko left a vacancy
When Buggy was revealed as a Warlord, the Marine dude also mentioned another one but didn't name them.

ah ok
You know, people say it's better to read one piece in chunks but every time I take a big break and come back I risk missing the little things

I'm starting to think that too. They put a lot of effort into hyping up Trebol's powers and his role in Doflamingo's life.
Also Robin bailed on her fight which has fans upset lol. I think at this point everyone needs to accept that Robin stays true to her assassin's background and avoids one-on-one fights, preferring instead to be Luffy's support unit.
There's also the fact that Robin can only really either curbstomp an enemy or get curbstomped herself.
