lol ...half dead Law continues to pull ridiculous moves. Okay chapter - as expected the Executives turned DoFla into what he is today. DoFla will be redeemed... at some point.
Well the chapter confirmed that they turned Kid Dofla into what he is today - thats all the speculation we had, not that he was secretly stronger than Dofla. Especially not after being bitchslapped by Luffy a chapter before.

Bad translation. Seems like they were instead reacting to Trebol squeaking like the dwarves did when hurt.

*Cuts to them burning down the entire city*
Lol, come on, that part was just a little ridiculous. And it's also a little bit ridiculous how Law can still pull off such moves.
Cool chapter anyway. A bit curious on Trebol still, and I wonder if Kaido is indeed coming or not.

He was still a kid, had no one else and his dad just got beheaded....how did you expect the story to end ? Sure he was nuts but they turned him into the current DoFla. Not every little Shithead turns naturally into a mass murder and Psycho.
Oda doesnt even try to hide it anymore with Law - dude will pull whatever the situation needs out of his Magic hat no mater how dead he already is. Doesnt help that he made the DoFla Executives look like Fodders in the process.
On mobile I assume.
This made me chuckle way more than it should have...i am weak lol.

Shout-outs to Oda for giving his German fanbase recognition
As for the chapter itself.. I think it was good.
I don't agree with the assumption that it was Trebol and the others who made Flamingo evil, but that he was already evil and they just helped him reaching his full potential. And yup, ridiculous how they did everything he told them and that there was basically nobody saying 'No' to him. Pretty terrible shit if you think about it: I don't know how old Doffy is currently, but all these years he grew up around evil and doesn't know anything else than that.
Those fight scenes were great; love how Oda didn't use text bubbles and let the panels speak for themselves. But I am not exactly sure how Luffy is supposed to finish off Doffy. Sure, he lands a hit here and there, but Doffy seems to be on an equal or even higher level than him. Both have chances to win the fight, but from the looks of it it might take some time to determine who, lol.
And yeah, the highlight: Trebol getting cut by a Law who seems invincible at this point. Seeing Trebol being skinny cracked me up, and I wonder what will happen next. Considering Law still has control over the whole place, I assume he will do something against the explosion; I mean, at this point, why care at all? We all know the fight will continue anyway.
To me the most interesting part was when everybody was looking at the town; man, some completely unrelated shit will probably blow up in the next few chapters. I like the idea of Kaido showing up; I'd love to see Doffy's reaction to that.

Good chapter. Last executive out of the way thanks to Law giving Luffy a hand.
As for DF, the executives were enablers to allow him to regain his position in the world at the top. Some of the stuff they did was insane, but I think that falls under them showing him early on he was King, especially after showing off the haoshoku haki at such an early age.
The dwarves and their reaction seem to be in response to the fall of one of the final executives and the nearing conclusion to the long period where DF and his crew had ruled the kingdom. I'm still expecting either Kaidou or Big Mom to show up soonish.

I don't think I've ever seen an example in fiction where a character beats another with his severed arm and it wasn't the hypest thing ever
Great one-on-one fighting! Been a while since we had some like that.
Law is just too damn broken.
You know, that's pretty clever for a Paramecia. Wrap himself up in all his material, and give off the illusion that he's an invincible Logia. Trebol's true form is hilarious.

Deadly Prey (movie) Main character cuts off a guys arm and beats him to death with it.
Well count me for a lose... I really thought Trebol was going to be some kind of mastermind with a plan of his own he wanted Doffy to complete. Oh well, he'll die.

Is this the first direct clash of haoshoku haki we've seen? Plenty of dudes have simmered with it before sure, and we see it all the time used to subdue mooks or animals, but here we've got this crazy shockwave and these black lines of electricity as it looks like Luffy and Doflamingo were actually actively FIGHTING with it.
It's got me thinking, we've seen armament haki's direct application in battle, but maybe part of Luffy's training was learning to use haoshoku haki as a direct weapon against a strong foe as well. Or if it wasn't part of his training, it might be something he's starting to figure out. There could be a whole new level of attacks here that are directly haoshoku-powered.

I'm starting to wonder how this fight will turn out. I mean, yeah, Luffy will win in the end but what I wanna know is how? Doflamingo just seems like he's on a higher level, I know that was the case with the second half of the pretimeskip but this time, it just feels..different? I don't know.

That would be really cool and would explain why guys like shanks and guys like Rayleigh & Rogers were such bad asses in a fight.

They both had it, sure, but did they use it against one another? I sure don't remember these black jagged lines at least.

Its good Trebol's gone now, get back to one on one. Also that Trbeol logia reveal reminds me of a villain in Kongou Bouncho.

I can't see the picture you're quoting, but if that is the case, neat! My post still stands, just replace Doflamingo with Chinjao. Direct haoshoku combat! Pretty neat thing. Glad to see that there's a consistent effect for it, too.
Yup, the way Oda manages to create so many elements in one panel with black to white colors only is fucking mindblowing. There is so much information packed in each panel and yet you can clearly differentiate between characters, backgrounds, special effects such as dust and the black haki electricity and so on; fantastic stuff.

mmm i'm a bit bothered by the situation of DD's past. I feel it kinds of clashes with the characterization of Doflamingo, specially in moments like his speech in marineford, or the scenes of his nightmares/reading about flevance.
I don't buy that "oh, he's a monster BECAUSE: trebol, pica, vergo, diamante", that's just too simple and easy for the complexity of the character. This guy is clearly, authentically evil, and don't want to see it played like "oh he can have redemption because he was lead into that lifestyle"
It seems like it, but i kind of don't want to believe that, ironically, he is their puppet...
Whatever, Law and Trebol are out, so here it comes!

Naw, I think he's pretty authentically evil still. Even before the executives came to him, he was spewing some truly hateful shit. All the executives did was give him the power to back up his words.
Law was saying that the executives have been puppets for Doflamingo the entire time, not the other way around.
Nah, it is always said and implied that Doffy is evil and was not just turned evil. First off, Trebol refers to the young Doffy as 'unpolished diamond' which implies they recognized his already established potential and started to hang out with him.
Secondly, in the panels afterwards, it is always Trebol and the others asking what is on his mind and him saying crazy stuff like being beaten up by some punks and wishing them to die.
Could he have changed when he was kid? Maybe, but the chance was rather small. Dude killed his dad and hated people back then already; he was always evil, and his crew helped him to become even more evil and stronger. There is nothing redeemable about him at all.

He did and spit nasty shit, however these 4 characters kind of built him since he was a kid after all. They "executed" these actions when there was a direct command (like the example you gave) AND when there was no direct command (burning the city because he tripped?) so i assume the reader can associate this 4 figures as "responsible" for the way this guy developed at the end. (even when some panels, like the one with DD over the rubbish and they bowing seem to tell us authority came from him, but still, he was just a child).
We still don't know if there are ulterior motives for them helping doflamingo, but i can't stop thinking he's the one being "manipulated" for something. However, it's been stated they're a "family", so maybe i'm reading too much into this, but still feels like this Doflamingo isn't the one that's been featured in the series until now.
I don't know if i'm expressing myself clearly (not my native language so i'm trying my best).
I understand what you are saying and you express yourself very good (better than others), but I tend to disagree - I don't see him being manipulated. The flashback with his father showed he was an annoying brat with a lack of empathy, and instead of surrounding himself with people that might change him he met Trebol and the others who pushed his evilness even further; they didn't plant the seed, they just sprinkled water on it and took care of its growth.
