@El-Matematico:
So, Trébol isn't a logia. Who would have thought that.
Me
Also I argued last week that there is pretty big of a gap between Seats and Doflamingo.
So I was wrong- gap is pretty big when it comes to Trebol, Diamante and Pica. Vergo I still see as different case as he seemed to be right hand man of Doffy and he was working constantly during last decade as he was a marine with lots of pirates to deal with. He taken out Smoker maybe not easily but with showing that one landed heavy attack was enough to knock Smoker to the ground, same as he was shown as considerable danger for Sanjis leg.. So I guess that Doflamingo and Vergo are strongest in crew as it was also hinted in my opinion in this SBS
As Vergo is being but by Oda in same line as Doflamingo somehow above all of other people in crew.
@blue-san:
The way Oda is handling some things in this arc really bothers me.
Next to the usual Law is strong I noticed something else. Luffy looks a bit pathetic in this chapter, in a way that the guy loses control over a fight. We are used to it from Luffy. But still makes you face palm a bit when he gets stuck in that mucus and latter on wondering how he missed Trebol and then Law finishes the guy easy peasy lol
Thing that worried me while re-reading was that even as Luffy was quite impressive when attacking Doflamingo, when Doffy landed a kick if not for Trebol then Luffy could possibly fly away from palace top.
Fly really far away so Law would die being left alone in palace. Of course there is a chance that if not for Trebol Luffy would catch with his rubber arms some of palace walls and get back to counter Doflamingo if he w. But thats a big if as Doflamingo would say.
Still it was interesting to see Luffy going at it and while I gotten impression while reading first time that exchange of attack is pretty slow- better I understood Luffys line of movements, faster it felt. So Luffy landed all those attacks in few very short moments while Doflamingo had almost no time to attack from one attack after another, that was very cool. Also with those strings attached to Doflamingos leg now we can be sure how he tried to cut of Kyros head with most likely one string and how it ended up cutting off entire top of palace.
