General & Others Is Doflamingo slept on?

#61
Both Doffy and Vergo are slept on.

Doffy - by feats and portrayal is slightly stronger than Crocodile who (post retcon) is 1.965B. I would put Doffy at 2B.
Vergo - VA that easily handled Smoker who is a logia VA with seastone weapon, high speed and decent haki.

I hope for CG vs Marines.
Mihawk > Fujitora
Doffy + Croc > Green Bull

Or I actually like Fujitora and see him as potential FA so Mihawk could be fed Sengoku instead while Doffy + Croc beat the racist GB.

Then why did Law and Luffy only get 1B after defeating Doffy?
Momo being able to use the exact same power just by trying a little harder doesn't make it feel like a huge feat for someone with that DF
It's a Mythical Zoan, so..

Why was Arlong, #3 of Sun Pirates, only 20M? Yes, he bribed the official but he was already infamous in the GL long before.
Why was Croc only 81M, or real value 162M, as Oda claimed at the time when Caribous little brother Coribou was 195M?
Why was Black Maria, someone that is from Wano and probably never even left Wano, 480M?

It's called inflation.

If Doffy comes back his minimum is 1B as a OG Shichibukai (Jinbei at 1.1 and Mihawk at 3.6 with the rest in between). But Doffy has feats and portrayal (also knowledge/CD) that would put him at minimum 2B, even 2.5B.

I'm saying that even with those things he was only portrayed as being worth 900M. If he were worth more then Law and Luffy would get more, like how Law Luffy and Kidd got a combined bounty of 9B for defeating Big Mom and Kaido

Birdcage is impressive and speaks to his insane versatility and mastery of his fruit, which is definitely way more then we see from most characters, but it doesn´t really have much to do with a 1v1 fight, his strings just lack power and toughness, which is how he ended up losing to Luffy at that point.
Where Boundman surpassed the armament of Katakuri and Cracker, Luffy was unable to damage the length of his strings. He managed to beat Boundman by running the clock with his defense.

Freaking Crocodile is worth billions now. The people who think bounties are power levels have been wrong from the very beginning.

Doffy was in pain (best friend Vergo killed) and, for the bastard he was, he might me the captain that cared most for his crew in the entire series next to guys like Luffy, Shanks, Roger and so on. He genuinely was disturbed by having to protect not only himself but also his Kingdom and above all his weaker crew like Baby 5, Buffalo or Giolla. He also did NOT want to fight Luffy, he tried to let him go even, because he probably did NOT want smoke with Dragon. And he was scared of Kaido as well as Fujitora on his door step as well as having to deal with WG. It was... A LOT.

Give him free head space and a bit of revenge and you'll see. He was willing to take on Fujitora and even Akainu briefly precisely because he is not to far from an Admiral but admittedly would lose 1 vs 1. 2 vs 1 though, 2B each, I bet on Doffy and Croc pulling through.

Crocodile was depressed. WB broke him. He regained his ambition and finally reached his potential, one of the 10 pirates that could challenge for a yonko position (2B, silver medalist).

What?
Bro he literally tells Law and Luffy that his anger is beyond words and that he wants nothing more than to have their heads rolling. His ass did not think about Dragon coming to kill him lol. I don't know where you got all this from, but I'll admit it's a very unique way to cope about his bounty being that low. Most people just say "Erm but he was nerfed by GK bro" and move on

Who said being angry equals fighting at optimal level? It's often better to have a calm head and we know from guys like Luffy or Roger that they fight better when they know their crews are far away/safe, not when they at the same time have to think about protecting them.

As for Doffy and Dragon if you read back you can see that Doffy repeatedly said that this wasn't Luffys fight. He only asked Pica to throw them out in the beginning. Perhaps it was only because he wanted less people to focus on (i.e. Law and the escapees) but we also know Doffy deeply respects RA and he knows about Luffy - Dragon - Garp. It's not in his interests to make Dragon or Garp mad at him for killing Luffy.

It's not like he had a choice since either way a top tier would come after him.

Scenario 1
- Make a deal with Smoker.
- Smoker is too honest of a Marine leaving Doffy with only option of killing him to silence him as Sugar was not there
- Try to fight off Aokiji. Realize it is better to leave the fight as Aokiji was a FA candidate, too strong for Doffy alone.

Scenario 2
- Plan A: Let Luffy leave, make a deal with WG, have a truce with Fujitora. Force Law to do immortality OP.
- Realize Fujitora is sabotaging him. Luffy refusing too leave Doffy/Law to their business.
- Plan B: Have Sugar turn the dangerous foes to toys = no one will come after him.
- Plan C: If Sugar fails he needed to kill Luffy & especially Fujitora. The later he probably planned to kill together with Pica, Trebol and the rest of the crew. Probably possible as well, same as BBs crew vs Garp. Doffy by himself could hold Fujitora relatively honest and the rest are all problematic DF users.

Or I actually like Fujitora and see him as potential FA so Mihawk could be fed Sengoku instead while Doffy + Croc beat the racist GB.

Imo Doffy alreadh can give Greenbull an extreme fight on his own.

I really don't get your point here tbh. Doffy was basically forced into fighting Luffy and Law and I see no reason for him to secretly hold back on them when they were trying to kill him

He wasn't holding back. He was in sorrow (Vergo), anger (Law), stress (Kaido), anguish (his lifes work Dressrosa), pressed (Fujitora), split minded (crew mates at risk), unsure (Luffy playing hero) and probably more.

He had to keep up Bird Cage (I think that, same as Kaidos carrying Onigashima, sapped a lot of stamina). He wanted to rule Dressrosa, not destroy it, so he would prefer to keep it as unscatched as possible but Zoro is doing island level attacks and Fujitora is dropping meteors.

He fought two future yonko/pirate king level guys (still extremely under rated/flying under the radar at this point) with 5B+5B berries DFs while still knowing other dangerous guys like Cavendish, Zoro, Kinemon, Fujitora, Sabo, Bartolomeo, VA Bastille or the like at any moment could attack him or his crew. Even if he won anyone of them could do a Green Bull vs King and the rest (and like he tried vs Luffy and the rest). Luffy and Law earned Big Mom and Kaidos praise like the next week, the world didn't know their real threat yet.

Coming back Doffy doesn't have to protect anything or fear anything. He can just wreck havoc, he has already lost it all.

Can't this apply to most villains? Don't you think Arlong was sad and pissed when he saw Hatchan and Kuroobi get their lunch money stolen by two randoms with no bounties?
I don't think thats enough to say a character is nerfed against the people they're fighting. What nerfed Doffy was him having to constantly stitch his organs back together as he fought G4.
Also this whole "Luffy and Law did really impressive things in the future so it's a big feat for Doffy to be able to give them a tough fight" thing is kind of asinine, no? You don't see people hyping King up saying "Zoro is the future WSS and will defeat/kill Mihawk" as it's not relevant to their fight. Sure Zoro will do that, but it's not like King fought that specific version of Zoro, so why bring it up?

Edit: BTW their fruits are only that valuable because of the immortality surgery and the awakening of the Nika fruit, neither being used in Dressrosa.
