It was Law.
Didn't he say at one point that he doesn't want Doflamingo to die (yet)? Not sure how he pulled it off, but whatever grudge he has against Dofla, it's strong enough for him to make sure that this guy isn't getting the "easy way out".

Jeff the Killer: Go to sleep…Cavendish: Okay 8DJeff: Wha- WAIT, NO!
-
Oh he's going to have a bad time
Chinjao or Cavendish would make short work of him, nevermind saboI'm actually hoping for a Chinjao vs. Trebol scenario. Since Chinjao hopes that Luffy would take his grandsons under his wing, he could see fighting Trebol as part of as a way to repay his debt to him for returning his head to its normal shape.

i agree that this is a gag. just like smoker got hit by luffy in a restaurant in arabasta or nami can actually hurt luffy though he is a rubber, etc. they're jokes/gags and they can bypass any rules and shouldnt be taken seriously. imo.
I'm sorry but gags don't bypass the rules of one piece, it's very simple, Wapol got decapitated and the doctors of the country with the best medicine were able to fix him, i mean he already has a tin mout. Logias are not always intangible, Luffy surprising smoker was totally legit since he havent train his devil fruit to become intangible by reflex at that moment. Oda already said that nami hurts lufffy because she beats his spirit, and is ilustrated like actual wounds, just like when chopper is scared and his hat goes up with his horns, .
-
Looks like Sabo was the one who saved Luffy from Smoker in Loguetown with his Dragon fruit (Also, looks like he's a fruit user).
These leads me to believe, Rebecca will obtain the fruit with/without Bartolomeo's help and will eat it, as it looks like Sabo is already a fruit user and can't use it himself.
Are you that stupid or are you just trolling?
-
I have a theory, Dofla knows he is under a lot of shit, so he wants to reunite with sugar so she transform him into a toy and everyone forgets about him except for sugar, that would give him some time to make another plan.
Me fail English? That's unpossible!

That's hardly a theory when nothing so far in the manga points in that direction. It could happen, I'm not saying no; but as for now, Oda gave us no clues.
Eh, fuck it.

When does Oda ever clue towards anything? He's Mr. Unpredictable as it is so far. Not saying I agree with his crack pot theory either, but anything could happen.
Praise our king, First fist of the Sea, DonMarimo DoBuggino exploring Bonesbeard.
If someone seriously claimed that Whitebeard was running a vibrator business as his second job you'd ignore him as a troll.

Oda is certainly one of the best illustrators in the manga world. Especially when you compare him to like Togashi. :|
So what makes you think that Togashi is a lesser (skill wise) illustrator than Oda? Probably personal bias since you're an otaku fan?
I know a lot of people who doesn't appreciate Oda's art style, that's why they don't watch/read one piece. A female friend also told me that One piece doesn't have that "handsome, real good looking character designs" that girls like her would have a crush on (even though they're just illustrations) well of course it's a shounen manga if you say. But then there's Togashi's Hunter x Hunter, and Yuyu Hakusho where girls like her noticed Kurapika and Kurama (fox mode). Oda's style is more of stylized cartoony/anime-ish, he's very good in character variations designs. While Togashi is more close to generic anime style but with characters like Hisoka and those Zoldick clan, which sets it apart.
If you want one of the best illustrator in the manga industry then there's Takehiko Inoue's slam dunk and vagabond.

To all those saying Doflamingo has been hype for "X" years.
Tell me how that all worked out for Fishman Island.

You would have a point if Fishman Island was short and had nothing important happen in it, but that wasn't the case at all.

Really, It has been a while since i watched DN.
My theory is simple, DD would deliberately ask sugar to transform him into s toy, it could happen before the fight, after the fight, with no fight, if he is a logia, if it was a picas statue or a doing of law. I just care about the final outcome. -

After sugar passed out, i wanted to check out doffy's action to counter the huge mess created out there, but alas, I'll have to wait for another chapter or two till he gets his head back.
-
Sabo seems to be very strong with his fists, what if Dragon taught him this? well you will tell me that's obvious, but here is a thing, who do we know in the OP world is very strong with his fists? Dragon's father Garp!!
Maybe Garp Taught his child this art to make him a great navy, but Dragon SMH choose the other way, It was already late, Dragon already mastered the art… Now when Luffy was born Garp thought that he must not teach Luffy this art 'cause he can't be sure that luffy's not gonna choose the life he (Garp) wanted.
This can explain also Dragon's name, And now we can assume that Sabo is the one who wiill inherit it.
-
So, uh… how could Doflamingo survive getting his head chopped off? Unless he's controlling Law like some people have said but that would seem like kind of a cop-out and there was no "Room" that was generated. And I was hoping we'd actually get to see what adult Sabo looked like, but he destroyed the ring instead. Wonder if that's a fruit power or just something Haki related. I know that Roger could hear the breath or whatever of all things and Sabo talks about something like that so it could be something other than a devil fruit.
Edit: Although having Doflamingo die like this would be a pretty big cop-out too. I think less so than having him be controlling Law though.
-
This.Fucken.Chapter! RWOWR!!!!
So much awesomeness. Can't wait for the next one!!!

doflamingo would really look like a little bitch if after 400 chapters of giving speeches about how "only the strong survive" he asks sugar to turn him into a toy so he doesn't have to deal with the situation he himself had to be prepared to respond to
as in i don't think i'd even want to see him fight luffy if he turns out to be that much of a hypocritical baby. doffy's gotta man up (and i'm pretty sure he will)

That theory has come up in last weeks discussion and it's not really unrealistic tbh.
Wapol is a freak of nature, who can assimilate meachnical objects into himself. Losing his head and putting it back on wasn't out of the ordinary as he was seemingly the first cyborg like creature of the series. Doflamingo with his string ability is a whole different case.

Oh please, why did you have to start this discussion in here. Art is subjective and objective at the same time. Oda is a great artist, Togashi is capable of a lot too and nobody denies Inoue's skill with the brush either.

how is it even remotely realistic for this guy
to scuttle off because "w-w-w-wow it's s-s-scary these guys are t-t-tough!!!!"he's stressed right now because this would be a shitty situation to deal with for pretty much anyone. that doesn't mean he's going to bail though.
-
So are you saying Dofla would rather surrender or die than use a convenient ability of his crewman which can save him and the rest of the crew and allow them a second chance? Let's remember, he didn't discriminate who to turn into a toy, there were marines and government officials as well as Dressrosans and pirates.
Yeah, ok.
-
Do I really have to point out that he's in deep shit with all parties involved and is pretty much aware of that fact?

Yeah, ok.
Except he has his entire crew and potentially CP0 at his side. The only person he really has to worry about is Fujitora, who I'm pretty sure is going to be working in his favor for the time being (suppressing the riots), before coming for his hide. He definitely won't be coming straight for Doffy.
@Schabrak:Do I really have to point out that he's in deep shit with all parties involved and is pretty much aware of that fact?
…and? His resort is to just ditch everything? What kind of role would he have in the series after this? Who would even want to see him return? How could we possibly return the focus to him and his crewmates upon seeing them run off like cowards. No serious villain has done this prior to getting wrecked by Luffy. It's probably the smartest move overall but it would really shatter his image as a foe.
I could maybe see this happening after him and his guys get totally demolished by Luffy and co. but even then I'd think it would be better for him to get captured by Fujitora. The toy thing is completely awful.
-
Lol I completely forgot about that. So Law decides to take down the Yonko, because he don't want to work for them. OK. There is two way to survive in the New World, and he choose one.
But why is Law in the New World ? The only possibilities I can think of are :
-the One Piece : he never said anything about such ambition but he did not say otherwise either.
-Doffy's head : that's my opinion.
-both Doffy's head and the One Piece : this seems really hard to achieve with one life.
-he just want to help Luffy XDHe did say One Piece is going nowhere when he was telling his crew to be patient and not rush to the NW. I feel like Luffy interest him, maybe through the whole "D" thing. He won't lie to him because of that respect and way too clever to attempt something that silly. Off course his respect for Luffy will continue to grow especially if Luffy beat Mingo up.
-
Stop right there. That [last scene](http://img.batoto.net/comics/2011/05/03/o/read4dc082a77d147/One Piece - 208 - 18-19.jpg) in the manga was shown with dots, no one in hell could know if Pell was close-range from the bomb, it was left to the audience's imagination what happened to him. His death, as tragic as it was when it happened, in the end was to motivate Vivi as a character - him staying dead or being alive would NOT change the plot in ANY way. It was entirely up to the author if he wanted to bring him back, that's all. The same goes with Pagaya and Conis.
But if you really want it to be explained, I got your back.
The two guardians (Falcon and Jackal) of Alabasta I presume to be based off Horus and Anubis or Set. Horus is apparently usually depicted as either a Lanner or Peregrine Falcon (which has many different subspecies that vary in appearance and range). None of you even bothered to wonder why a Falcon is even one of the flying types in One Piece aren't you?
As quoted from the wiki: "The Peregrine is renowned for its speed, reaching over 322 km/h (200 mph) during its characteristic hunting stoop (high speed dive), making it the fastest member of the animal kingdom."
THIS is years after that scene in One Piece of course, but it's not ridiculous to say that Oda knew about the hidden potential falcons have, even back then.
Oh and If you saw Gedatsu's cover story, Pell isn't exactly unharmed from that explosion and the fact that he ended up in the desert added to the explanation he was blown by the force of the bomb - as convenient as he was to be found by a doctor..In short, you don't have to like it but it is/can be explained. Same with Pagaya falling into the White Sea, don't have to like it but has an explanation.
Dude, are you really defending the PELL scenario? Sorry, but that still to this day remains bullshit, as much as I love Oda and his work. Everything you suggested below makes sense, but unless actually explained in the story is entirely theory and nothing else. And yeah, no way in hell did Pell somehow escape a blast that large either when he was holding the damn bomb.
So what makes you think that Togashi is a lesser (skill wise) illustrator than Oda? Probably personal bias since you're an otaku fan?
I know a lot of people who doesn't appreciate Oda's art style, that's why they don't watch/read one piece.

While Togashi is more close to generic anime style but with characters like Hisoka and those Zoldick clan, which sets it apart.

This isn't about art style. It's about the actual effort put into the drawings and the quality of the drawings. You can sit here all day and complain about One Piece's style being cartoonish, but if you compare Oda's overall artwork to Togashi's there's an obvious difference in talent when it comes to art. Togashi presented scribbles in his latest chapters before his hiatus that barely passed as kindergarten sketches that were eaten up because he is who he is. Even in Oda's bad days you never see that sort of thing. Even with series like Fairy Tail (which also has good art if you ignore the excessive fanservice), Naruto, Bleach, etc.
Now, if you want to get into art styles and the actual writing quality of said series, that's two other conversations entirely. And for the record, as a writer Togashi is top tier and on Oda's level, perhaps even better in some cases. Obviously the other mentioned series don't come close in my book when it comes to writing.
And no offense to your friend, but criticizing an author for not drawing "sexy male characters that girls like me will get a crush on" is pathetic reasoning to bash someone's artwork, not to mention disrespectful. It's like the worst otakus hating on a series that doesn't have female characters with their asses and tits hanging out left and right.
I want him dead rather than some ass-pull by Oda.
Why? You'd really want a villain built up for hundreds of chapters to get taken out in one page by some random character (cool as he is) just introduced in this arc? I'd actually be really pissed if he turned out dead, but I know that won't be the case. You can call it an asspull but it's not really because Oda is yet to fully explain the full potential of Devil Fruits. We see powers evolving every arc, because until he sets specific rules in stone and not just leaving us to assume the rules he can literally do what he wants and it can't be considered an asspull. The same applies to Haki. All fall within the rules of his universe and until he gives us a clear view of these rules he can continue to add on to them.

In Chapter 729, Franky says that Law's plan is to destroy the facility and keep Dofla alive (just overthrowing him was already against the plan).
So I guess Law wants him alive. To suffer even more, I suppose.Jeff the Killer: Go to sleep…Cavendish: Okay 8DJeff: Wha- WAIT, NO!
-
Do I really have to point out that he's in deep shit with all parties involved and is pretty much aware of that fact?
Right. Let's not forget the facts:
- With SMILE destroyed (and it's damn close to being destroyed or already is at this point), Kaido will use Doffy's feathery ass as a door mat, no matter how powerful he is to other pirates.
- Unbeknownst to Doffy, Big Mam and her crew are already around and after Ceaser.
- As soon as the government hears that every single citizen in his own country want him dead, the government leaders will say fuck you and strip him of his title on the spot. We've seen in the past that they do not tolerate warlords with negative public opinion fully open to everyone (like with Crocodile), or weakness as in Moria's case. They'd see this as weakness on Doffy's part despite his power because he basically lost all control of his people.
- And the above means that Fujitora (who already wants Doffy and all other warlords killed dead twice over) and his boys are about to move in and aim to kill or arrest Doffy, put him in a striped jacket, and toss his flamboyant ass in with the okamas in Impel Down.
- God knows how many powerful individuals were turned from toys back into humans in addition to Chinjao, who has the power to at least crack the stadium into pieces, Cavendish, and all the other powerful pirates from the tournament who are obviously pissed at him.
- Don't forget the presence of CP0, whose strength we have no clue about and are likely horribly powerful.
- He's got a pissed off Luffy inches away from him now and a powerful as all hell Sabo and Burgess and possibly Black Beard nearby to pick up his boy.
Doflamingo may be powerful as shit one-on-one, but I'd like to see him face all these powerful individuals as a unit with their devil fruit abilities and haki. Even with his strings, I doubt he could get control over all those powerful top tiers at once. In other words, it's about time he drops the act and shows what happens when you piss him off. He may just snap and take out at least a few before getting his ass beaten by Luffy and possibly killed by Kaido or something to that effect.

Everything in One Piece has an explanation, unless it's on purpose (Florian Triangle monster? creature?) or yet to be fully explained (Haki, maybe Zoro's eye?). I said this before but not everything has to be fully stated or confirmed in OP for it to make sense or explained rather than that if you don't understand then you need to "put together" the pieces yourself - that's why personally I find the series more interesting than most (and well isn't that why we even have most of these discussions in the first place?). I'm well aware though that unless officially confirmed or stated that it's only a theory but if you must question my logic or my theory, then you're welcome to prove to me that he was close-range from the bomb with those little dots when Oda himself bothered to show him ending up in the desert AND has a huge scar in his body - I already provided the link to the page (and I don't think I need to say this but anime example doesn't count).

Yes, but there's a difference between offering subtle hints and letting the audiences figure it out and expecting your audience to understand what you did because of real life culture you drew inspiration from that many would not know or get. Your entire theory leans on supposing the reader actually knows about the Egyptian history you quoted, which is certainly not the case. And I looked at the image you posted and it has nothing to do with the little dot. The fact of the matter is that Pel was holding the bomb and flying up into the sky. How the hell would he let the bomb go and get away out of that large blast radius within the half second he had before it went off by the time he got it up high enough. Pel ending up in the desert and having a scar on his chest still doesn't make shitty writing any better.
And don't get me wrong. Oda is a genius writer and 90% of the time I consider him top tier, but that's all the more reason why I'm calling him out on bullshit where I see bullshit. The same applies to last week's disaster with Sugar being beaten by a comedic gag after a ridiculous amount of serious suspense and buildup.

Wow way to be mean to a new member, man. I'm only trying to participate. Law is an evil motherfucker and he's mad at Doffy. He wants Doflam to SUFFER for his actions. Getting your head lopped off is nothing compared to facing an entire world that just turned against you. He's about to lose his warlord status and he's surrounded by the Strawhats, Law, Kyros, the citizens of Dressrosa, and an admiral. Death is the easy way out.

@Quoted Sorry I just assumed people who read my theory knew how bombs worked.
Also the fact of the matter is that Pell being based by Horus (you know Alabasta = Egypt come on man) which is depicted as either a Lanner (strong and stocky) or Peregrine (speed) Falcon or BOTH. I'm not saying Oda clearly knew about the top speed of Falcons (even today I heard it's unsure) but he clearly knew the potential if he made Pell, a Falcon, carry that bomb and made Falcons one of the flying types among a short number of them in the world.
-EDIT-
Oh and I already have my theory about last week's chapter between Usopp and Sugar that fits his CoC foreshadowing and the similarity to his victims foaming at the mouth and CoC victims. Here you go if you don't wanna find it yourself.
Good observation/guess but if you recall though, Perona also passed out from shock and fear, while she had tears and foaming at the mouth, she didn't make a sound. Maybe she really did fear his face or maybe Sugar was just surprised at first so she screamed and then triggered shock.. or maybe.. it was a mixture of both.. I think I got something here… his battle with Perona, he took advantage of her fear of bugs AND then he proceeded to using his Usopp Golden Pound to trigger shock.. Oh my.. I think Usopp found the way/mixture to mimic the release of Haki, namely CoC.
To quote C.A. a little bit on the definition of Haki: "The words Ha and Ki, meaning 'dominate' and 'air'. Together you can make out something like 'air of dominance/atmosphere of fear' or better phrased, 'Aura of dominance/supremacy' or 'Aura of fear/terror'."
Oh my god.. /claps
! http://d220.diamond.fastwebserver.de/series/OnePiece/0466-012.png
Sorry, but I can't find your example, can you please provide it for me? But anyways, no I don't think it's meaningless, you can literally see Usopp and Sugar screaming from the last page of last chapter. Sugar being the sadistic little girl that she is thought she would kill him with poison, she never expected him to "explode" - suddenly screaming his lungs out AND make such a gross face, which she hates… (well for my theory of FEAR & SHOCK to work, she probably fears them or at least make her very uncomfortable).
-
Eh, I'd be disappointed if it was anything other than Pica or Flamingo's own trickery.
Yeah you're right and it would be an ass pull to have Law switch the cuffs twice. The Pica thing still doesn't make total sense to me though. How exactly would he manage to do anything about that?
-
Eh, I'd be disappointed if it was anything other than Pica or Flamingo's own trickery.
I've been trying to get a straight answer for a day now and nobody is able to or at least doesn't want to bother with it.
Dofla was worrying, sweating, talking and recognizing old enemies. How does any kind of clone make sense.
I read about possible coloring from Jora, Dofla moving the clone with his ability and even using ventriloquism to make his stone puppet talk.Seriously, if I need to number everything that's wrong here…
--- Update From New Post Merge ---

I thought about Law switching body parts with non devil fruit people. Not much of an idea, I agree, but shows there are always some more options to consider.

So we can see Dofla being decapitated but we can't see his eyes.

Okay, so I'm no scientist and I don't know the inner and outer workings of a bomb, but even supposing he was able to let the time bomb go and somehow fly at a super speed (which by the way, to my memory, was not even shown with his powers when Robin easily incapacitated him.) I sincerely doubt he could get away to a safe enough distance where only part of the explosion would graze him. And even if that was Oda's intention, the fact he never displayed his supposed super speed earlier in the arc and the fact that he's leaving too much to assumptions which is still bad writing no matter how you slice it.
Yeah you're right and it would be an ass pull to have Law switch the cuffs twice. The Pica thing still doesn't make total sense to me though. How exactly would he manage to do anything about that?
The theory I've heard is that Pica was able to manipulate the floor of the castle into an illusion of Doffy. It's not farfetched to think he could make stone statue clones, but I admit it's a bit farfetched to think he could color them the same as Doflamingo. Still, if Law really saved Doffy then I have to wonder why he would do it by slicing Flamingo's head off.
We'll see I suppose.

So are you saying Dofla would rather surrender or die than use a convenient ability of his crewman which can save him and the rest of the crew and allow them a second chance? Let's remember, he didn't discriminate who to turn into a toy, there were marines and government officials as well as Dressrosans and pirates.
Yeah, ok.
Well, of course he didn't discriminate, because once they were gone it didn't matter.
I don't see why he wouldn't pull some stunt like this, but I also don't think he is going to do it until he really needs to admit defeat in a sense. This probably won't happen just yet. It was just too sudden!

How does any kind of clone make sense.
Yes, the coloring makes the theory unstable. But it's not too farfetched to think Pica could alter everything within the palace at his will. And why would Oda waste a panel showing Pica was gone a couple pages before if it didn't mean anything? It could be a number of things. It could be haki related, hypnotism using the string powers somehow, or the simple fact that we are seeing things from Kyros' perspective when in actuality something else entirely is going in in the last couple of hectic pages.
