It would be the biggest troll ever if Oda actually killed everyone with the birdcage. Sabo would be the only one who could get out alive because he could Logia his way through. I feel like there is plot armor to stop this from happening though...

i dont get why the admiral isnt seen anywhere, isnt it pretty fucking obvious that he should be stopping dofla? or at least attempting it. Dofla is trying to genocide the population and earlier in this arc he said it was so important to protect the people yet he is nowhere to be found? Did he get knocked out and i missed it somewere?

Fujitora was in the chapter at the end, just chilling. He might have been summoning meteors to stop bird cage as there were things in the sky above him in his panel, but we can't be sure. As Zoro points out this chapter it's silly that one person can stop so many with birdcage when DD isn't even putting any effort into it. I'm sure it will be stopped next chapter, but I still don't like that no effort can be put into such a strong trap. Vander Decken did something similar with Noah, but that was his one gimmick to send things at people.

Mingo obviously have haki imbued into his birdcage for zoro to not able to cut them easily with haki imbued swords. Which means he had been spending ungodly amount of haki to maintain the birdcage while defeated both luffy and law. He's not the fastest, since luffy can hit him easily, but the volume and strength of haki he can spend is just way above luffy considering the surface area of the birdcage he has to coat with haki and maintain for whole time. Even if luffy managed to stay away from Mingo for 4 more minutes, what he can do to mingo with haki that he hasn't already done. Mingo would just keep blocking with face till luffy falls over again. one way i see them beat Mingo is to have someone cut off a pieces of the seastone from the factory and have Usopp shoot the shit out of Mingo to stop him.

His ambition is to have the Shichibukai dissolved, not just to have Doflamingo unseated. So he doesn't act and lets Doflamingo rampage. He probably believes that Luffy and co. will succeed or that he still has time to take action if they fail.

It probably has something to do with Sabo's haki itself. Like if Sabo's Haki is stronger than his attackers, his Haki can let his fruit keep its abilities. Or something.

True that. The thing with logia user is that their bodies will 'auto dodge' if the incoming attack is physical (non haki) and thats why we have been told that noob logia users easily get killed once they arrived the new world because haki users are not too rare there; while advanced logia users can manually activate elemental form to dodge any incoming attacks.

But we also saw situation like when kizaru was stopped by shank's first mate dude we can safely assume that kizaru must be quite awared of his attack/speed and accuracy that even advanced logia user like kizaru can't even dodge it.

Such balance oda. Is not the most balanced system ever but it is reasonably convincing

I just assumed that dofla is at the borderline of his stamina now, oda didn't let luffy defeat dofla right there just so we don't get another generic boss fight and we get to see the characters do something and the 3 mins countdown is pushing for a higher climatic moment

Yeah, pretty much every strong fighter could give DD the finishing blow now I think.
Just none of them will interfere with Luffy's battle obviously.

Doffy is already half dead after he got beat up by Luffy in G4. He didn't have much left. He even stated himself that he had no energy to waste on weaklings. He is really pushing his limit atm.

Ambiguous. I read 2 versions. One said what you stated. The other basically said "I don't even need to have energy left to get rid of weaklings like you."

What's the purpose of the Birdcage? Why would someone about to fall over keep the birdcage up and keep his haki active on the birdcage? Shouldn't he be saving his strength? Why would he want to force all the bigshots closer to him with the birdcage, surely he knows what's ganna happen if he keeps closing the birdcage. The only building that's not breaking is the factory and it will move toward him along with everybody else in every other direction. Think about it, that was his plan all along from the beginning. What is the only place people can survive inside the birdcage? that's right the factory. Now can you guys see what his plan was all along? He had everything plan out to the last details when he deployed the birdcage Mingo is very cunning in his plan, to be defeated in combat has never entered his mind at all, and that includes an admiral that he's trapping, he's far from his last leg. He wins if everybody is forced inside the factory.

No, DD clearly said (and this suits him) that he didn't need to expend energy to get rid of small fry.

I don't think it was his goal to put everyone inside the factory. It was just a tool Oda used for more people to be able to "fight" the cage. If next chapter wasn't about everyone in Dressrossa fighting against the cage to give Luffy 1-2 more minutes I'd be very surprised.

Also I always imagined the Bird Cage like some sort of energy build up by Doflamingo over quite some time. You now, just like a lava person could store a ton of lava in a mountain and then release it from the mountain with little to no effort required Doflamingo could have set up the Bird Cage beforehand and pumped enough haki and energy or whatever into it (or build it in a self-constricting way) such that he would only have to spend a very small amount of focus and energy on it during the closing of the cage. But no matter what the case is, I find the entire string theory very silly and am glad once this arc is finally done. Fire and cutting should be super effective against strings by the way. Also the fact that Luffy could still be beaten by a child once he falls into a poddle of sea water is a bit - yeah.
Apparently all you need to dominate the wold is a water gun [sarcasm detected].

I find the birdcage a seriously bad plot device at this point. A no effort kill everything move that DD doesn't need to pay any attention to control. And strings strong enough to stop Zoro, not to mention the reason the factory isn't breaking is because it's made out of sea stone right? So why in the fuck isn't that sea stone negating the devil fruit strings on contact? Basically everything about the birdcage is pretty much bull shit at this point to me.

Also I hope Oda doesn't go the dragon ball z Frieza fight style, I mean I trust Oda enough not to but this set up has all the potential for it. "5 minutes until planet blows up/ city destroyed." Five chapters later "2 Minutes until planet blows up/city is destroyed." 3 chapters later "One minute"

Maybe I'm looking at this overly negative because this arc has dragged on forever and now I just kind of want to see it's conclusion but really DD should have been rekt ages ago, the birdcage should have been destroyed. Don't get me wrong though I love this arc, it has been amazing but to me it's well past its expiry date by now.

The only thing i can think of as to why the sea stone didn't negate the strings is because Mingo coated them in his haki with the disposition of never doubting his birdcage is unbreakable no matter what it encounters.

seastone negates devil fruit users but so far we have no reason to think that seastone negates the abilites

if a fruit user enters the sea or touchs seastone they become useless but the things they make hasnt really been shownt o have that weakness

Honestly I would like to see dofla be an actual evil genius or he planned the whole thing similar to what you said there but it is very unlikely now by the looks of it, somehow he gets so damn hot headed in this arc, law/luffy made him so mad.

I'm going to accept that dofla and co. didn't expect all of these to happen so they didn't prepare well and birdcage is just being the last resort of whatever emergency situation. SH literally just arrived to the island half a day ago rofl in the actual storyline
