Doflamingo is prime example of what peak arrogant people do... which is what everyone is trying to say... Doffy just talks shit, even if he can't back shit up.
When he started yapping about holding the reigns of the monsters of the world how the marines made a big mistake etc etc. He got shut down by Tsuru... and then proceeded to admit he can't get the best of her... cause she doesn't buy the arrogant non-sense this mf is always spitting lmao.
Y'all as Doflamingo fans are making his character into something it's not...His reality:
-> He spent decades running away from the Marines and gathered a fairly mid pirate crew. (and shat himself the moment he saw Tsuru everytime, twice alone in the flashback we saw)
-> He then attacked some fodders and stole the heavenly tribute.
-> He then paid the Gorosei with the heavenly tribute to become a warlord.
-> After becoming warlord he became their most useful pawn.
-> He on behalf of the Gorosei made deals with Emperors, like Kaido, for various things. He on behalf of the Gorosei supplied weapons to countries that the RA was fighting.
Thus, the Gorosei did shit that benefitted him staying in power... because he was a good tool for them.
Doflamingo equates the above as "I'm the hot shit, you fucking bums can't touch me"...
What happened the moment a fledgling pirate whooped his ass? Bam he's sitting in the jail of the same people he supposedly had by the balls. Why? Because they he holds no use for them now...
