Even if he didn't know that DD could control your body like that, what would stop DD from asking another ransom the week after? it was so naive that he almost deserved it... Things are going the way most people including myselft tought about this arc, DD is on tought and ruthless bastard and took the island for himselft. What is nice to know is what he did to become a Shichibukai, stealing the gold from his family.. Damn sick mofos | ||

If anything being fooled by someone who seems like exactly what he isn't - a cold blooded, well prepared and smart madman - does his character justice. | ||

I think you're the one who got a bit sloppy evaluating the character. Did you honestly expect the king of such a country to have a cold blooded plan to kill Doflamingo? Or to know exactly how to react to something like this? If anything being fooled by someone who seems like exactly that - a cold blooded, well prepared and smart madman - does his character justice. He is a king, it doesnt matter if it was 8000years without war, as a king you need to prepare for all kind of crisis/emergency issue related to national security. The people of the country can be so unrealistically innocent/pure or whatever but as a king you have no excuse for that. | ||

I'll walk you through it again. Doflamingo shows up. Says he will take over the country - or hey, the king can buy it for 10 million! Says he has a very limited amount of time. And you expect him to have a plan ready to counteract this otherwise Oda is being lazy and sloppy. Dressrosa as it used to be is described to be the purest, most innocent country you will ever see in the OP universe. What exactly makes you think that its king who's never seen a war and possibly never faced anything like this would know how to react properly? He was under heavy pressure, had little time to react (he has to decide on the spot or they'll never gather the money) and was caught completely off guard by Doflamingo's ability. | ||

Suddenly the king of the most pacifistic kingdom we've seen so far should have a plan ready to outsmart the most powerful & intelligent villain (who also has Tenryuubito & CP0 backing) yet.    @Darklord, the amount was 10 Billion Berry^^, 10 Million would be less than Buggy's old East Blue Bounty  | ||

At the least Riku must have thought that he has no chance resisting DD by force. Guess DD had some reputation back then too. On the other hand if a stranger sits in your window asking for everything you own, the first thing I'd do would be to kick him out the window. But anyway, it seems Oda must be wrong once again. | ||

I'm thinking the major weakness of this ability is that he has to capture you unaware. So if you know that he's about to take control of you, you can dodge out of the way or block the strings. Maybe if you're really strong you can resist or even break free. We saw in the war that Doflamingo was strong enough to stop Jozu in his tracks and control Buffalo. I'm thinking Jozu has a lot more physical strength than Buffalo so Doflamingo wouldn't necessarily be able to control him so much as he could simply lock him down. And probably if he tried to pull the same shit on Whitebeard and somehow landed the strings then Whitebeard would just grab them, pull Doffy in and give him a proper smack, lol. | ||

One does not simply kick Doflamingo out the window. King Riku did the only thing any logical person would do. That was to give into demands and hope you don't get back stabbed, or fight a battle that you know 100% you will lose. | ||

And that if he fights DD an entire nation would have become outlaws even if he succeeded? DD said that Law was right to say he "used" to be one so his family are no longer classed as such I would imagine. Interesting to find out how DD became a warlord though. Stealing all the Tenryubito's money ships is a pretty ballsy move. | ||

Is an usurped king's descendents really the rightful owners of a country 800 years later? They may have a claim, but owners? Not if you go by how it works in the real world. | ||
