Doubt it. At best Sabo and Burgess are seen walking away from each other and Burgess makes some chide remark about Ace dying and killing Luffy in the future.

Unless bb's plan or goal involve killing luffy I doubt they want to burgess only wanted the flame flame fruit from him I doubt they're interested in luffys df

Wow thought I was the only one tired of this birdcage plotpoint.. Also the arc length in general isn't helping bt that's another subject. I mean is doflamingo consciously moving and controling the birdcage? How powerful is he..

Mann for the first time since reading both one piece and naruto simultaneously I gotta say naruto has been a bit more interesting to me. Not to say this chapter was uneventful but I kinda found myself wanting to skip panels especially during the bird cage scenes. Might take a break from one piece for a month or so then read the conclusion all in one sitting.

Also how can haki not cut the product of devil fruit powers come on..

A revolutionary member based on malcolm x. Really any revolutionaries based on real life civil rights leaders

I like how luffy ' s sandles magically came back lol

And I think both luffy and doflamingo will be unable to continue fighting OR luffy will be unable to continue while doflamingo makes his way towards luffy with what little energy he has left but is interrupted by burgess.

@Monquito:

Oohh

Well, Doula hasn't done that pretty much because of the same reason Law didn't switch Doula and Trébol personalities, Doula can't control Trébol's DF and neither Trébol controls Doula's DF, just like Tashigi couldn't control Smoker's DF, Law and Luffy would have won by now, why Law just didn't do it then??

I guess from a literary standpoint that would be anti climactic but doesn't make sense considering law could do it with relative ease. Then again maybe dofla knows that move and how to counter it.

@Juiceduphody exactly.. why would doflamingo just tell luffy he has an hour to save the day why not just speed it up and find a more entertaining way to stop birdcage.. then again that would add another reason to make this arc longer..

@G_soildier:

Gee why people so flabergasted by parasite or the move used on jozu who was at the time primarily focused on crocodile, or sanji who knew next to nothing about doflamingo devil fruit. Would these moves really have any chance of happening, on luffy in this battle. I highly doubt it tbh. what reason would doffy have for controling luffy? The objective is to kill luffy, bird cage is already in effect to kill everyone else would he really need luffy to go and beat up any one? But still luffy getting caught for more than a second just seems unsightly and fruitless.

I'm not saying for doflamingo to control luffy Its just meant to immobilize luffy like he did sanji. So I made a mistake when I said parasite string I meant the move he used to trap sanji

@Monquito:

For what exactly?

I'm surprised I have to explain this lol first of all it seems like doflamingos go - to move and just to be clear I'm referring to the move he uses to control his opponent. He would basically trap luffy then attempt to end the battle

And if doflamingo rly is toying with luffy Then you have a weird situation when you consider doflamingo making sure not to underestimate luffy. This is especially weird since doflamingo is badly damaged so why continue toying with luffy? I'll just go with plot reasons

@G8trH8tr:

…Did you read my post at all? It addresses why someone would't go all out.

My initial question really doesn't have anything to do with doflamingo going all out I'm just asking why he doesn't use parasite strings on luffy or at least try to when he did so on diamond jozu (I'm assuming that was the first time they fought).. parasite strings doesn't require doflamingo to go all out rly takes little effort
