Character Discussion Respect Doflamingo

It's simple Kaido was hype up via Doffy portrayal.
The man who isn't afraid to throw hands with Admirals and almost unhinged in any situation, and was only shook when Kaido's name is used to threatened him.......all story telling and buildup for audience to know we are just dealing with a lackey/subordinate of the actual big boss that we'll be facing in future.
Yes he wasn't afraid of anyone but Kaido, that's canon fact.

As Law points out, he would have the attention of the navy admirals on him, they would chase him down. And Doffy doesn't like that either.
But we know from Doffy's interactions with Kuzan and Fujitora, he doesn't fear the admirals personally. He nearly kicked Fujitora and initially tried to kill Smoker in front of Kuzan. Put 2 and 2 together. It's not that he's worried about himself, he simply knows any top tier can kill plenty of his crewmates, who he considers like his "family"
This is why it's important to pay attention to context. Law actually offered that Doflamingo could get Ceasar back and maintain his deal with Kaido if he gave up his warlord title.

Let's not try to twist this away from the main point, that Oda think his audience are an intellectual that will believe Doffy was only afraid that his family will be destroyed by Kaido......Not because it's a form to hype future main villain of the current ongoing storyline??
It may indeed be due to Kaido's violent nature or whatever reason.
Yes it's explicitly shown Doffy was visibly afraid to "anger" Kaido above anyone and would always chose path B.
Trying to make it look like Doffy didn't really care and would show the same behaviour if he's with Kaido "face to face" 1v1 is simply not what it's going to look like.
I won't continue further for this arguments.

Self explanatory, If Doffy isn't afraid of a global flood while being in an underwater prison or the idea of assassin's hunting him down while he literally cannot resist, he is objectively not afraid of death.
You don't have to be an intellectual to think that captains have to pay attention to their crews safety as well. What was Oda's intention when he draws Roger sweating at random Marines?
When Kaido doesn't want Big Mom to bring her crew to Wano?
What are you talking about? He didn't like both options and never agreed to give up his warlord title actually(he used his connections to get around that)
I also wouldn't try arguing the guy who was laughing at the idea of a global floods while being in an underwater prison is afraid of dying, so fair enough

Dude wtf are you talking about? They were clearly playing cat and mouse for over a decade.
Just because Oda doesn't draw DD action sequences in Law's flashback, it doesn't mean it didn't happen. Like read between the lines. He never really drew Doffy in actual intense combat ever in his pirate years.
