King, it ain't like there is an official definition. For you "tank" means "stoic".
While it's true, they meant that Doffy has a lot of PV. Which is also a tank's particularity. Let's just understand each other :happy:
Chapter 793: The Tiger and The Dog

You kinda have to admire the boldness of coming back to the chapter that Oda spoon feeds him what we've been telling him he ignored in his super proficient literary comprehension.
Fujitora's reasoning to let the Birdcage get to the point it did is pretty damn idiotic. I think this was what most people had issues with. Many people argued the other reasons that there was a secret motive, and several calling out his reasoning as well.

Oh man this is the best! Darth man! Dude is like Team Rocket. He'll keep coming back for more only to be blasted off again. He must have gotten that awful gut twisting feeling once he realized exactly what people said would happen did happen and with a valid reason that we knew for a long time.
Fuji may have gambled with lives but he was protecting them in the process and ultimately the scenario that he wanted came to be. Maybe people almost died but well… they didn't! In the long run the world will be better for it all as well.
Folks who read One Piece… Just better people. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Fuji wanted to prove the ugliness of Shichibukai system.
Therefore, he let the country get saved from pirates/warriors and anything non-WG related.
Then, he claimed how the system was faulty and how it was WG's fault.Had he interfered, even just saved some people, everyone, ALMOST everyone would think he played a major role in the saving of that country. And everyone would think pirates and co. wouldn't be able to do a thing without marines. Or they would think that they just wanted Doffy's head and it was the marines who saved people.
He proved his words with facts.Easy as hell.

So really, at the end of the day, Doflamingo was right about one thing, those who stand on top determine what's wrong and right. Luffy won and everything worked out so Fujitora will be viewed as a hero, but if he failed…

He had to protect the people as well. The Birdcage wasn't the only thing that was destroying things. He only started acting when everybody in Dressrosa was safe at the very center.
Considering that the only way to destroy the Birdcage was to defeat Doula (which he couldn't do for reasons already given), he didn't have much of a choice.
His reasoning is not perfect, but there aren't many stories where everybody thinks like Spock.

He did save some people, but he avoided getting involved into any confrontation involving the family in order to make it look like he wasn't opposing them.

Well it's implyed that if a marine can "kill" a Yonkou he is "admiral" level. If not it's impossible to kill him.
I don't think that it's in terms of territories. Doflamingo had territories and all "the Underworld" (weapons, pirates bands, brokers etc..) at his service and he is not "titled" a Yonkou. They do that in terms of POWER and Dangerosity. Only to kill Whitebeard they had to call all the Marines+Admirals+Shikibukai+Blackbeard (coming) that's a lot for one crew. Blackbeard is recruting "the bests" around with the best fruits and also he has an "ex-admiral" by his side and Whitebeard fruit (one of the most dangerous and strongest around) that's why. Luffy will become a Yonkou i think after he beat one that's pure logic. None has ever done that. Only another Yonkou level can do that.Nobody is going to become one of emperors if they're not controlling significant territory. Blackbeard wouldn't have become one of Yonkou if he just retired to the life of solitude in some monastery after killing Whitebeard.
-
Well said, I'd say Doflamingo was the DEFINITION of a tank. Looking back at the multiple times he fought Law and what he endured against Luffy..if it had been Luffy or Law facing all that, they'd be long dead. But Doflamingo tanked ALL of it until the very final attack. Strength wise, I'd say he was stronger than Law and Luffy, but not by as much as many would think. What really pushed things so much was that Doflamingo could endure alot of attacks and was tough as nails! I'd say Doflamingo is the tankest tank since Whitebeard (with WB being the only one who is comparable.)
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I'd like to Akainu vs WB discussion to stop as well.
That said, allow me to give my two cents-
Sanji isn't strong enough to face them..that's my theory. I don't know for sure yet. What I do know is, the crew as a whole would definitely lose. Otherwise they wouldn't be a Yonko crew for long, as they'd have lost by now to someone else. Nami, Chopper and rook are strong... but nowhere near ready to fight a Yonko crew just yet.
There. that's my 2 cents, though I admit we need more info before I can be sure.
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
I've often pondered that too. Luffy looks at pirates in a way that romanticizes them and just frankly, isn't accurate to how pirates are. But then, One Piece in general feels prone to that. That said, I don't see Shanks as being the same way. They may have thier moments of being jolly and fun but I'll bet they can be ruthless too. I'd say Shanks isn't a villian though...just not all goody two shoes either.
I very badly want to see more of Shanks and his crew, that's for sure!
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Ugh. Exactly what I was thinking of when that was said. Naruto was FULL of asspulls though. That series had long gone downhill and most of that War Arc was the lowest points in the series. I'm glad it's finally over and we've seen a glimpse of Naruto at peace with his family. Surprised he ended up with Hinata instead of Sakura though...but I was always a fan of NaruHina so in happy it happened. Bah but I digress...
I like NaruHina too, Suckura doesn't deserve him, she can have Sasugay. Have you watched Naruto the last? That was sweet.
I wish One Piece had a budding romance between some of our favorite characters.
Year of Sanji, let's go!

I meant it in terms of stopping birdcage :P Though he even helped warriors in pausing it, however he did not initiate it~

I wonder if Sakazuki is regretting not sending Kizaru or Ryokugyu.

@Go:
I have also opened my little drawer of fucks, and found out it was empty. I'm literaly without fuck to give. Sorry.
You banvaded to make that post. It seems like you still have lots of fucks to give if you go to lengths like that!
-

probably is. Before the arc started i was a little bit worried that fujitora would turn out to be a lot like aokiji but now i can see he is unique in his own way.õ

I don't want Oda's PR team to respond with a nonsensical response, but thanks King Cannon. It's also good to know that the only way to defeat Doflamingo is to destroy the Birdcage, good information to have that also doesn't make any sense.
-
Fuji's gamble didn't involved the destruction of half the country. He isn't omniscient. He couldn't even know that the birdcage was able to move. And it started moving pretty late in the arc.
In universe the birdcage moved for only 30 minutes. It ain't like Fuji had ten weeks to regret his gamble. -
It's still a missed opportunity that fujitora's justice isn't blind justice
-
I never got why Fuji attacked Luffy's group after the encounter with Senor, Machvise and Dellinger.
I think maybe Fuji was already planning to use Zoro to simulate a draw. But because of Pica, Zoro disappeared.
So he ended up using Sabo for his little act.right. Fuji's wager is that Luffy would win and he'd have expose flaws of shichibukai system and the WG. It's a wager b/c if luffy lost the island would've been annihilated or plunged to greater darkness. And he probably couldn't lift a hand against DD b/c he's got enough connection.
Fuji wanted to do it in a way that a lost of an island is okay if it meant that in the end the he helps the greater good.

Fuji stated that his primary concern was protecting citizens when the people in harms way were a result of collateral damage of a pirate alliance fighting the Donquixiote family. When birdcage went up it became Dressrosa's battle and no longer just Luffy and Law's. You can see Fuji all over the city doing what he stated, but at a certain point Dressrosa elected a known pirate as their king willingly. The WG may have allowed Doffy to get away with a lot of things after he became king, but they still helped create their own fate. Just because he said "my concern is the safety of civilians" doesn't mean "I'm going to fight their battle for them just so no one is killed!" In battle people get injured and die, Fuji merely wanted minimize that as much as possible, not throw away their chance at justice just for the sake of 0 casualties.

So let citizens die instead of saving their lives which is his role and a character trait moreso than other Admirals so they can fight their own battles? Yeah, allright then.
-

Kizaru would have done a much better job at saving the Marines' face to be sure. Dude would have destroyed the entire island before the bell to begin A-Block even rang.
Ryokugyu is still a mystery. I hope he will be introduced as soon as possible, I am so looking forward to his role in the story.Now then, Fujitora is a very interesting character, whom I would certainly like to learn more about.
-
So man I guess I'm getting kind of pumped because I think we're about to see Zoro get tested to the limit. Zoro is still in fantastic condition and so is Fujitora. You guys gotta remember that Zoro is aiming to be the world's absolute best swordsman. He isn't backing away from this and I suspect we're going to see a crazy moment. We already got one from Usopp who went ultra BA and learned haki on his own. Now it's Zoro's turn to shine.
Too bad for the Sunny crew. Sanji blows now.

Because we weren't shown how Fuji's powers work in a confined space containing all those lives that forced him into action? Riiight.
After birdcage people were fighting with their lives on the line to reclaim their country and for justice. That is not Fuji's place to intervene. You seem to be confusing Fuji's traits with Riku's.
-

Hey, if you don't want people replying to your posts, then you shouldn't really be here. Way to sound rude and obnoxious.
It was stated that Doula's defeat was the only way to destroy the Birdcage, and there is evidence of that being the case. If you think this is nonsense, then it's rather tame compared to some other things we've seen already.
And had it been destroyed before Doula was knocked out, word would have gotten out and the whole thing would've gotten covered up.
So really, whether Fuji could destroy the Birdcage or not is irrelevant in the end, as he needed the Birdcage up to prevent contact from the outside world.
-
I wonder if Sakazuki is regretting not sending Kizaru or Ryokugyu.
For all we know Ryokugyu could have the same morals as Fujitora does at this point, and Sakazuki doesn't realize this. For some reason when Sakazuki mentioned he didn't want anything to do with Kuzan, I thought that maybe Sakazuki was worried what Kuzan was doing with BB, and ask Kizaru to investigate.
Speaking of Ryokugyu, I wonder if the Bull part of his epitaph means he, like Luffy, can be over aggressive when he tries to corrects the wrongs that he see's in the world. -

Zoro's turn to shine? He got that like 3 times in Dressrosa alone. I'm a pretty big Zoro fan but even that statemeny seemed sorta funny. Like he did nothing nothing crazy like effectively cut a mountain in half while being thrown a hundred miles an hour. But I do agree that he's the best candidate to at least prevent Fuji from getting to Luffy. But I doubt it'll actually be an uninterrupted fight that show cases anything.
Barto would be stuck in a comatose fanboy state for a year if Zoro did anything further.
-

Except he did save their lives.
But fighting Doula was a choice he wasn't willing to make. He didn't want the incident to be covered up.

And Oda is the only one to blame for protecting Zoro like a little baby and trolling Sanji ever since.
So Zoro was able to get out of Fujitora's gravity hole and even attack him at the same time, but Sanji was helpless in DD's strings.
Zoro saved his face with admiral, but Sanji gets his legs cracked by a vice admiral( hype tool marine rank of the NW). Was there ever someone that looked bad in One Piece agains't a vice freaking admiral? All the ones I remember got trashed or looked bad.
The only way Oda would make it up for me is if Sanji beats Capone Bege.(not going to see it)
And it's not just Sanji here, Smoker's treatment after the time skip is poor too. After 2 years we see Smoker get defeated 3 times in the same arc. And the guy could be Luffy's main marine rival.

And the RPG online style, take shit tons of damage and still keep pushing, and for a team pushing an objective, it's key. Because you will have more attacking styled players.

Taking out Pekoms (330 Million) or Tamago (probably higher) wouldn't be bad.
Though, now that you mention it, Sanji has always had it bad. He literally didn't win any fight in his introductory arc. In fact, Kuroobi, Bentham and Jabra are his only solo wins in the series so far.
Edit: Forgot Wanze & Jerry, but those ones are pretty forgettable.

I always thought those were called meat shields.
But whatever. Yeah, Doula took a lot of damage, but he actually dodged and blocked most attacks aimed at him (unlike, say, Whitebeard, who literally didn't dodge anything). Red Hawk, Injection Shot, Gamma Knife all had some effect on him if we go by facial reactions. Jet Bazooka was the only that he did shrug off.

We know one full named move from Fujitora, and according to you we know all we can about his powers. And Fuji's job, an Admiral of the Marines is not to intervene if people are dying? Those are some rather impressive revelations.

He did save that lost child with the bear on his shirt :sad:

But he couldn't defeat neither Doula nor the cage, or else the whole thing would get covered up and nothing would change.

Oda didn't even allow Sanji to smash that Punk Hazard door. Franky had to do his magic.
And I won't even make hopes about Pekoms or Tamago. People with high bounties like that tend to be strong, hard to think Sunny team can take out 2x 330 m bounties( if tamago's bounty is at least that). Not after what they had so far. Unless my memory is bad, even luffy didn't take out a 330 m bounty yet, unless DD's old bounty counts.

C'mon we have been over this. The idea that he can't do it is a really poor plot device, or asspull as people like to mention so many times with other popular manga. I'm not sure how this would get covered up exactly, the entire sequence was 30 minutes as you said? Are islands right next to one another? Unless there is an island a few minutes away and Kizaru is there to quickly change things, this is just a poor justification. You're a nice member here and I was rude, but I do think you find an excuse for everything that is off or weird in regards to One Piece here. Sorry for being an asshole.

Had Fujitora destroyed the Birdcage while Doula was still conscious, people would have started to call the HQ for help, thus the whole thing gets reported and covered up. Same thing if Fuji had just defeated Doula by himself, as people were witnessing the whole fight and would report that Fuji had saved the day.
The Birdcage being able to be destroyed or not, in the end, is irrelevant for Fujitora. The blocked communications actually helped him.
Really, the only way for Fuji to not get any credit whatsoever was for him to stay out of the fight and let somebody else do it. It was a gamble, a very risky and questionable one, but in the end, it will really pay off and benefit everybody (but the warlords).
And I'm not really trying to make up an excuse as that is exactly what being implied in the first and second-to-last pages of the chapter.

I don't buy the idea that marines would call HQ if he orders them otherwise. The only way news gets to them is if pirates and citizens send the news to Marines instead, which is doubtful considering an Admiral is there to take care of it.

It's more than everyone but Zoro and Luffy. -

This is only believable if every citizen of Dressrosa knew that there was an Admiral already there.
Most people didn't even recognize him at the start of the arc.

Do you even read One Piece? I'd link to images of the admirals themselves (let alone tons of other marines) killing innocent people directly, but apparently excerpts from the manga have shown to be useless. There's a clear difference between people who are bystanders on a battleground and people fighting in a battle. Especially people who didn't want help from the marines.
Or do you think Fuji vs Doffy would be over instantly? That if it were him fighting instead of Luffy (which defeats the purpose of everything he has said and done this chapter, regardless lets entertain your little fantasy) that the birdcage wouldn't shrink or end up at the same point if not further than it did anyway? It doesn't matter who's fighting Doffy people would have been in danger.

I think people focus a bit too much on Vergo-san's rank as a Vice Admiral and forget all too quickly that he was the original Corazon (you know, that position in the DQ fail which is equal to Pica/Diamante/Trebol). Vergo was a top executive, meaning he is a bit of an exception in regards to yor average power-level. Also who says all VAs are on Bastille's level (the guy who Sabo wrecked)? I can recall some extremely powerful VAs (cough* Garp, Tsuru cough*). And what position would you like Vergo to have held in his infiltration of the marines, the only place to go up from there is admiral or higher?
And Fuji's gravity hole is a different type of restraint than DDs strings where a web of strings des much more to hold someone than the indeterminate amount of gravity Fuji made push down on Zoro. Also I believe Luffy (maybe Law idk) was the only one seen being able to break them.

You're assuming Fujitora is the only one in control of news to the Marines. CP0 was there the same day, all they had to do was intercept any calls directed to the marines. What they wouldn't have expected was news being sent to neighbouring countries.
-
Fujitora hasn't resigned, someone mentioned earlier he will resume his position as an outcast type of role that needs to bring back some pleasing results to undo the ruckus he caused to earn that anger to begin with. If he can deliver some other big names heads on a silver platter to Akainu, instead of Luffy and Law, that might just do the trick.
Since Revolutionaries are present and this is the end of an arc that had heavy involvement from them I think a call to Dragon from Sabo is imminent. Whenever Dragon talks about Luffy's feats the hype levels overheat, can't wait. What if we finally get a comment from Luffy's mom?! (whoever the hell she is).
Seeing Swirlyhats again is the only thing left to make the ending of this arc truly satisfying.
