General & Others Did Doflamingo Scam Kaido?

#1
Were SMILEs the greatest fraud scheme in the history of one piece?

He persuaded a suicidal drunk to invest billions of cash, lives and resources in return for a crew of these
As if that weren't bad enough, he convinced said drunk into believing that these crippled mutants would stand a chance against the World Government: an alliance of over 170 nations, with the greatest military force humanity has to offer. For reference:

Here is your average natty marine, powered by pure justice and loyalty

These lads easily bench 300lbs+, could probably overhead press it too.

Then you got these

Truly an affront to our eyes.

This might be one of the most impressive pump and dump scheme I've ever witnessed. Just remarkable, really. SMILEs weren't worthless, they were a detriment. Our boy Doffy sure laughed his way to the bank.:pepebusi:

Croco boy stole desert tap water; Doffy got an emperor to fund his crime empire by buying duds. Levels to this

Do do look dumb, but Smile Users are stronger than average fodders. Zoro pointed that Smile Users were tough for being fodders, just as Jimbei was losing due Smile numbers just as Jack and numbers vs Mink users.

A smile User might challenge a fodder Sulong Mink for sure. At the end, numbers doesnt matter that much, they are just filler.

Smile were trash... but Kaidou knew precisely what he was getting so it couldn't be considered a scam. Sure it had a 10% 'success' rate and most of those turned out bad enough to drive a person to suicide but I'm sure Kaidou was planning to get rid of the failures and only keep the decent ones in the end.

As for what he paid for them... eh... that was made by slave labor and cost him nothing.

Gifter is as strong as arlong or stronger stated by oda. Arlong is not a bum either. He is top 3 in sun pirate. Having 500 or thousand of arlong is better than a fodder marines. Let's say 1 arlong equal 100 marine fodder. Then 1000 arlong equal 100,000 marine fodder. So it equal to The 100,000 marine fodder force of marineford. This Is just lowball scaling for arlong. Luffy ruin the

kaido operation. 1000 gifter is enough for kaido to make marineford scale war. But it leaves incomplete with 500. And most of that 500 of those side with tama. It is enough for few gifter to fight thousand of kaido pleasure and waiter.

Doffy is the biggest con artist in the OP world. The man had Big Mom waste her funds on his underling's prostitution ring and had Kaido trade high premium craftsmanship weapons for a 10% success dud.
