What was even the point of Robin becoming a toy except for the fact she's generally useless

I really REALLY wish he just outright died from that attack, but no, no one is ever allowed to just straight out kill someone like that.

He'll do some obvious bullshit like reveal he has the ability to reconnect his bodyparts with string, because he's a string-human, and thats why he also doesn't bleed

He can't be a logia, right? Because that would be the lamest possible outcome for this particular turn of events.

Kyros totally deserves the kill shot though.
Eh, if anything Sugar going down in a stupid way was pointless, its not like Doflamingo can win now. All thats left is to mop him and his crew up.

Maybe, though i have a theory that perhaps Doflamingo is using a look-alike to foil assassination attempts, and it wouldn't be the that crazy, i mean look at how Kuro escaped being executed.

It's actually a pretty good way for him to go. It gives the entire Kyros story closure. Luffy doesn't always have to be the one to give the big bad of the arc their deserved thrashing.
>> No. 33195
If Doflamingo died just now that's exciting, if he didn't die right now that's exciting, either way HOT DAMN THIS CHAPTER
>> No. 33196
If Doflamingo doesn't die just now to instead have it end up boiling down to Luffy having to be the one to defeat him that will be awful. There's so many people with personal beefs with the guy, let one of them be the one to finish him and not the main character.

I am legit surprised taking out Sugar ACTUALLY freed the Toys. I kept expecting another twist to be involved with her, the toys, and all that sort of thing, as we only had hearsay and what people had observed and theorized to understand her power, she never explained her power herself (which is generally what anime villains get to do).

As for Don Flamingo, I'm going to guess >>33186 is right, and we're just watching a puppet of Don Flamingo get curb-stomped by Kyros.

>>33194
>Luffy doesn't always have to be the one to give the big bad of the arc their deserved thrashing.
I agree, but I can't think of a story off the top of my head where the side character gets to have the final blow on the Big Bad while the Hero just observes.

Law used his Room powers before Kyros attacked to spare Doflamingo. We wouldn't have gotten a reaction shot of him otherwise, and we still need to learn what his beef with this "Corra" person is. My guess is Law either wants to kill him himself or needs Doflamingo alive for something else.

If not, then it's a puppet that got hit. There have been several mentions throughout this arc (from the dwarves and Kyros) or Doflamingo hiding a "true self."
"When operation SOP succeeds, Doflamingo's true nature will be revealed!" etc, etc.

Usopp forgot Robin existed, which is why he tried to bolt like that once he thought he was alone.
>> No. 33201
>>33199
If that was the case then Law would've taken Donquixote's heart at any of these many opportunities.
>> No. 33202
Pretty sure we haven't been looking at the real Donquixote. It's just a puppet.
>> No. 33203
>>33184
So Usopp would feel like he went into it alone. Which is partly why he felt so much cowardice earlier.
>> No. 33204
>>33197
It was still a smarter plan than Moria's whole "zombie" thing, which wasn't so amazing and also doomed to failure from the getgo,
at least here they could actually protect Sugar unlike where the other Warlord sent the people who's shadows he sent off to roam freely where they could die at any time, even by something as common as being exposed to sunlight, thus killing the zombie with their shadow.
>> No. 33205
>>33201
He would have gotten his ass soundly beaten with or without his heart.

>>33204
Moriah was insane and a coward. His whole plan only made sense in his head because he was mentally unhinged.
>> No. 33206
>>33199

I'm pretty sure revealing Doflamingo's true nature had more to do with revealing him to be a terrible person to the common masses and an intolerable liability to the higher ups.

I guess in a series like this you can't really tell from the get go, though.
>> No. 33207
I just realized, if Kyros did indeed kill Dofla just now, then he just murdered a tenryuubito, which would earn him a prime spot on the world government's shitlist.
>> No. 33208
>>33207
And thus he would become the new Strawhat.

Hear me out on this one.
I think Doflamingo is dead. Now while his head standing on its top is a little odd, I feel it's likely that there's no surprise. Kyros had it in him and that swipe was clean and legit.

Now some people will say that Law had a room up, but we don't know if his seastone cuffs are on or off. But he looked genuinely surprised at seeing Kyros come at Doflamingo. Which takes me to my next point and analysis: Doflamingo is meant to die. Didn't he mention that he was a Celestial Dragon? Well we know what happens when one gets attacked, but what if one of them dies or gets murdered? I'd say Doflamingo is going to die, so another character can come in and avenge him. Kyros being the knight of Dressrosa under King Riku, Dressrosa is about to have even more problems.

When this arc is over, Usopp's newly obtained fleet will stay at the country and protect it from whoever decides to attack(I.E. an Admiral or another CD). But then again we have an Admiral on the island. His motif? Blind Justice. He said he wanted to end the Warlord system. Doflamingo being one of the reasons why. But even with that, it's likely that the Straw Hats will take the blame for it all and put Dressrosa under their flag akin to Fishman Island(And they even have men to station there too).

tl;dr Doflamingo is dead, Fujitora is going to pardon Kyros and Dressrosa and cockblock the Celestial Dragons. He may even pardon the Straw Hats and all of Sugar's victims. The Straw Hats will take on whoever comes at Dressrosa for killing Doflamingo.

Thoughts?

You mean the thing that Dofla knows he can do and is probably waiting for him to do to stop him? No, a detached head is easier to cart around and exploit.
>> No. 33211
>>33206
Yeah, the metaphorical answer is always the safe route to take, but like you said, you never really know what crazy shit is around the bend with this series. And Oda has teased us like that before with word play.

>>33209
>>33207
Doflamingo is a Tenryuubito in name alone. The WG has no obligation to back him up based on his birth titles since he has long since severed all claims to nobility when he became not only a pirate outlaw, but a Warlord as well. If anything, they'd defend his Warlord title before his blood lineage, and even then they have no obligation to do so. I doubt shit like that will fly under Fujitora's watch and Akainu's new regime. We even found out this chapter he had enslaved Marines and WG officials as well. That's a no no regardless of who you are.

As for the Law/seastone cuffs thing.. I don't think they put any on him? I don't remember; I thought they just beat him up and tied him to the chair. Either way, Doflamingo isn't dead. It'd be neat if he were, but he's not. There's still a lot of stuff unresolved.

I don't know if you any of you guys listen to the Unofficial One Piece Podcast but they often have Stephen Paul, Viz's translator for One Piece on the show. Since he has to translate the chapters he receives them over a week in advance but of course doesn't reveal anything. Last week after they were wrapping up their recap of chapter 742 and speculating about the next chapter he said "I think people are going to lose their heads over the next chapter."

They wouldn't kill Doflamingo before explaining Law's backstory and relationship with him.

That said, nice movies Kyros. Got a better hit in than Sanji did.

Also, Sabo, that guy is fucking strong. What's he going for under the colloseum? To free and reqruit the prisoner gladiators for the rebels?
