Riku gambled on being able to gather the money and make Dofla back off long enough to come up with some sort of way to keep him away from good
unfortunately it backfired
In the world of One Piece he is the "owner" because he's part of the Tenryuubito so if he wants to claim this kingdom as his nobody is going to (dare) give a fuck, especially if it used to belong to his family. Seems also that Dress Rosa doesn't belong to any yonkour turf because in theory If it belonged to Whitebeard territory 10 years I imagine that his plan wouldn't have gone as smooth. I could be Kaidou territory and they were already working together back then but correct me if I'm wrong but Smiles have only been around recently, since he announced "age of smiley" pretimeskip.
i think any country in the WG cant be yonkou territory (at least not any of the original 20 countries) im pretty sure the WG would have a problem with pirates putting flags on there land

There was no good course of action for King Riku; he was outmatched by Doflamingo in every way. Even if he had refused to pay the 10 billion outright, and tried to tell the people the truth, and sought out allies from other countries, Doflamingo would just have intercepted him and went on to the "king murdering his people" part of the plan. The demand for 10 billion was more to toy with Riku than anything else. While Riku might have been naive in his planning, there was nothing he could have done against Doflamingo.

it was Rikus wierd action of acting for money that let people more easily accpet the wierd moment of him slaugtering people
if Dofla had gone straight to phase 2 then people probably would have realised foul play

The money scheme was more of a cherry on top of the plan than anything essential. I don't think that people who would not suspect foul play when their king asks for money, and then randomly starts killing people, would suspect foul play when if he randomly started killing people without preamble. Riku acting differently wouldn't significantly have harmed Doflamingo's plans.

Dofla is trying to make people think Riku has gone insane, if he just rides his horse killing people screaming its not him then people listen
but before that everyone is in a panic becuase he started begging them for money and there all scrambling and then he comes in during the chaos causing it to escalate even further
plus this way his soldiers are all spread out so theres less people to try and hold down the controlled ones

Confusion!

Wow, Doflamingo can control from so far away. Can he control strong people like Law? Or Sanji , Zoro?
Anybody have any , erm, his own idea about doflamingo power limitation, or weakness?
I feel, like crocodile, maybe luffy cannot win straight up unless he find the fruit weakness. Or . . .
I dont noe, his fruit feel so OP, right? Like how crocodile is introduce, feels so untouchable.

Another sad story in the OP universe.  (

Not sure if these are legit, well they definitely seem to be anime/manga mix? Can't remember if all these numbers have been shown before ~.~

Dude that is fanfiction!
Well there might be something to argue about what Riku did or could have done, he did wrong and he paid for it. So did the citizens, so yeah in the end he failed. But now it's time for revenge and got damn DD deserves a ass fuck..
Luffy will take down DD because not only did he messed with his crew and friends, he enslaved people, was responsible for CC etc..
DD must go down and Dressorosa must regain it's freedom, because that's what Luffy does, he saves and frees people..
But if DD is a Celestial Dragon, how can he lose without losing his life? Because the navy ain't gonna send him to jail and he won't die.. so my predicition is that Kaidou will appear and take him away after Luffy kicks his ass!

They aren't legit. Dragon has the highest bounty and that's not what's represented there. Whitebeard/Ace are dead. Also Mihawk even has "One Piece" written in the background of his picture.
There you have it.

Damn pretimeskip the logia powers were like the most broken shit ever but post timeskip ODA has introduced quite a few overpowered Paramecia's.
Dofla controls douzens of people and shoots whips that cut through steel/stone like it's butter from miles away.
We got to see the full extent of Law's power and how hilariously strong it is.
Trebol and Jora can transform people who don't know about their ability into toys/art which is basically 1 hit k.o. ...
Violet Omnivision with 4km radius xD.
I assume the answer to a lot of those is Haki.
|
Well, paramecias have technically had more powerful abilities even pre-skip. It's just that logias have been pretty much invulnerable pre-skip due to few haki capable characters, which created the notion that they were powerful to such a degree.
|
remember that slow slow fruit. jesus that stuff is OP.
|
I never liked the idea of logias. Strength simply because no one could touch you unless you figured out there one weakness. (Mizu Luffy) You end up with weak guys like Caribou with decent bounties simply because no one can attack him.
