There is nothing to influence tbh. I am capable of critical thinking, just look at the signs in front of you.
Doflamingo & Kaidou =
(1) Raid Bosses of Huge Organizations, Defeated with Help.
(2) 4 Main Subordinates each (Heart/Spade/Club/Diamond & Joker/King/Queen/Jack)
(3) Fights are a Question of Raw Power (Boundman fights), defeated by KKG & Bajrung Gun.
(4) Panel-to-panel similarities between KKG vs God Thread & Bajrung Gun vs Flame Bagua
(5) After defeating them Nika passed out for days (3 days after Doffy, 5 days after Kaidou).
(6) Shared the Bounties after the fight (Nika/Law = 500 Million for Doffy & Nika/Law/Kidd = 3 Billion for Kaidou & Big Mom)
Katakuri & Kizaru =
(1) 2nd in Command of a Powerful Force, the person everyone (except Saturn & Big Mom) in the force looks upto, more of a 1v1 fight
(2) Sympathetic character focused on "speed"
(3) Fights are a Question of Speed/Skill (Snakeman fights), Nika v. Kizaru started with Snakeman and i won't be surprised if we see Gear 5 Snakeman applications from here on.
(4) Depending on how the fight if at all finishes, we would see how it ends and whether it was similar to King Cobra vs Diced Mochi clash
(5) This fight is also going to separate Nika from his competitors, from Law after WCI while here, it's gonna be from both Kidd & Law.
The writing is on the wall. It's just upto people to slowly start admitting it.
Yep. Important point.
He was basically untouched except for a base kick, when he faced Boundman.
Doflamingo faced it's raw power after Gamma Knife, and then lost to KKG.
When he actually underestimated Nika, didn't use Awakening and was sent flying half a city.
The point isn't about whether Doflamingo was physically capable of fighting Boundman, it was that he had a city of strings at his disposal to fend it off.
Just like Katakuri did it with his Fs + body manipulation.
When both of them were being sent flying 100s of metres when Boundman actually could hit them.
Imagine thinking half serious Nika (not using everything he has ) vs kizaru
