Kaido's been hyped up since ages ago...people put him on par with Shanks and Whitebeard - each of the emperors was said to be able to fight the Marines solely with his own crew (and whitebeard nearly won, too)

love that the 'line of justice and evil' was completely destroyed. And thus Smoker/Tashigi/G5 joining the Strawhats for the next war is confirmed :D

Doflamingo was humbled a bit too quickly IMO. At the beginning of the arc he was untouchable, and all of a sudden getting ONE guy kidnapped and losing PH reduces him to nothing? Too many eggs in one basket guy. Hopefully we see him respond better next week / see that he has more tricks up his sleeve because he was supposed to be like some invincible mafia boss who could troll people everywhere and now hes just Kaidou's errand boy.

I like the idea of Kaidou being stacked and everything, but then its like all of the pre-TS scenes with Doflamingo plotting and looking like he owned shit would be wasted.

But no one really knows what Oda has planned for DF yet. He STILL hasn't had the extent of his abilities revealed and we don't even know how he will react to this aside from what we've seen. We rarely see DF actually TAKE ACTION, and the fact that now that he was finally flying his way over to do so and was deflected means that Oda is still running the hype.

When we do finally see DF act for real, it's gonna be huge, trust me.

...?

ok - have you seen Big Mom do anything yet? have you seen Akainu/Kizaru do anything for about...200~ chapters before they were finally shown? (longer in Akainu's case)

you're making a very silly case

and it's not as if Doflamingo got outsmarted by Luffy or anyone - he got outsmarted (and outlucked) by one of his own subordinates who knew him in and out, a Warlord by his own worth. Law knew Doflmaingo's weakness and abused it.

I.E. cry me a river, build a bridge and get over it

akainu, kizaru and big mom are not the FINAL BOSS there jsut one of the bosses luffy will plow through before he finally gets to doflamingo

doflamingo is not someone who should be able to go from "badass final boss" to at laws mercy in one arc it makes it look like the only reason doflamingo was important is because Caeser liked him if caeser had teamed with anyone else then doflamingo becomes a nobody

What you just said makes no sense.

Doflamingo was never portrayed as the "Final Boss", none of the schibukai, maybe except Kuma, have been made to appear extremly overpowered, and if you remember one piece, the seven warlords + the admirals is what is supposed to hold the yonkou in check.

As much as i like Doflamingo as a character, if he was strong enough to fight heads on with Kaidou i'd be sad, his top soldier Vergo got owned by law once he got his heart back, and two of his soliders, Baby5 and Buffalo lost to the low tier strawhats very easly.

He has no chance against a crew full of monsters like every yonkou have displayed to have already.

Also, just so you guys know, both Big Mom and Kaidou have displayed no mercy as soon as they dislike something, even when they have alliances, just like when Big Mom burned a whole village just because they failed to have their sweets in time, why wouldn't a hot headed like Kaidou rage at Doflamingo just because he cant produce any more SMILE?, Kaidou has to be building up for something (probably taking over as pirate king), and losing SMILE means he wont have access to a crazy amount of zoan fruit users.

Bottom Line, There are no unbeatable characters in one piece, its been hinted more than once that no matter how strong a person is, he's nothing without a good crew / alliances.

Law, even before the time-skip was seen saying he would wait to get in the new world, because he wanted to "plan something", this whole deal was his plan.

Doflamingo has popped up since the start, pretty much every arc hes apeared and Caeser has spent the entire arc saying how dumb the straw hats for even daring to go agaisnt him since Doflamingo has his back

doflamingo got hyped and hyped and hyped he laughed his way through the war, cut off oars leg like it was nothing he seemed to be the guy who was controlling everyone else from the shadows

aparently that was completely untrue, i though doflamingo was someone like Kira some insane mastermind and he turned out to be a team rocket so im disapointed

i didnt expect doflamingo to be the first big name that luffy deals with i expected him to be the last i thought doflamingo was on the same level as the yonkou
