Hello all friends,
-
Donquixote Doflamingo, nicknamed "Heavenly Yaksha",
-
is a major antagonist in the manga and anime series One Piece,
-
serving as the main antagonist of the Dressrosa Saga.
-
Today, let's learn about his biography and abilities.
-
He was the captain of the Donquixote Pirates, the king of Dressrosa
-
and a member of the Shichibukai before his defeat by Luffy
-
and arrest by the Marine Admiral Fujitora.
-
Formerly the most influential underworld broker with named “Joker”,
-
Doflamingo's defeat and capture sent shockwaves throughout the New World,
-
enraging his affiliates, including one of the Four Emperors, Kaido.
-
He is the arch-nemesis of Trafalgar D. Water Law.
-
He is currently locked up at Impel Down Level 6 and being guarded by Magellan.
-
Origin
-
Doflamingo is a descendant of one of the royal families that formed the World Government
-
and moved to Mary Geoise.
-
However, when Doflamingo was eight years old,
-
his father, Homing chose to cease being a World Noble and live a normal,
-
but still somewhat well-off, life along with his wife and two children.
-
After moving to an unknown northern country,
-
Doflamingo was still accustomed to his old lifestyle as a World Noble
-
and arrogantly expected the commoners to bow for him.
-
Despite his father renouncing his World Noble title,
-
the people who they tried to live among resented them
-
due to their longstanding hatred for the World Nobles.
-
Subsequently, the people of the country persecuted him and his family.
-
They burned down their mansion
-
and drove the Donquixote Family into a makeshift shaft on a junk pile,
-
forcing the children to eat out of garbage cans out of desperation.
-
When Homing called the World Nobles for their help, only to be rejected,
-
Doflamingo overheard this and was silent with shock.
-
Sometime later, Doflamingo's mother died from illness,
-
due to the deplorable household they were forced into.
-
Eventually, the angry citizens tracked them down to their shack and,
-
unable to contain their anger at the former World Nobles,
-
attacked Doflamingo, Rosinante, and Homing.
-
The three Donquixotes were lynched and severely beaten,
-
but they ultimately survived,
-
and it was then that Doflamingo swore to kill everyone,
-
which horrified his father, brother and the mob.
-
The memory of this experience would stay with Doflamingo for many years,
-
and would go on to blame his father for all this suffering from thereon.
-
Personality
-
In most of his appearances, Doflamingo is shown to be carefree and laid-back.
-
Unlike most members of the seven warlords,
-
he is initially shown to not take anything too seriously
-
and is shown to be excited by most things around him.
-
Doflamingo is also shown in many of his appearances to always smile or to grin.
-
In many cases, laugh and smile in situations where the level of danger is high
-
such as Whitebeard leveling Marineford with his devil fruit ability.
-
He also have a glamorous and extravagant personality,
-
demonstrated by how he moves when he is orating
-
or by how he sometimes walks like a flamingo.
-
Underneath his eccentricity, Doflamingo is extremely violent and bloodthirsty,
-
so Doflamingo feels no empathy for anyone he has victimized
-
or the lives he has destroyed
-
and always justifies it with him being better than people in general.
-
Initially, Doflamingo respects his crew and at times can be lenient to them.
-
Because of his crew's loyalty to him,
-
Doflamingo in many cases shows a level of care for his crew.
-
Belief
-
Doflamingo believes that strong individuals have power and might.
-
He also believes that the weak have no room in the future of pirates.
-
He looks down on those who are weak
-
and is shown to manipulate them for his amusement and for his advantage.
-
Abilities
-
Agility: Doflamingo has considerable reflexes and agility.
-
He was able to dodge Oars Jr.'s attacks with relative ease
-
and completely jumped over Oars Jr.'s gigantic body.
-
He was fast enough to escape through the eye of Crocodile's sandstorm and exit unscathed.
-
Superhuman Strength: With a tall and muscular body,
-
he can effortlessly carry around a full grown human being without tiring,
-
like the former Shichibukai, Trafalgar Law.
-
He also showed enough strength to equally clash against Crocodile's hook with just a kick.
-
Furthermore, he has tremendous strength,
-
as his leg strength is so great that he managed to produce a 360 degree razor-sharp shock wave
-
enough to cut through all three of the Dressrosa palace towers in one swing, almost instantly.
-
He even managed to give Luffy a devastating kick even though he was defending with Haki,
-
a maneuver which Luffy was able to easily block Hody with,
-
while at the same time sustaining no injury.
-
Superhuman Dexterity: Because of his Devil Fruit,
-
Doflamingo is very precise with using the strings to commit his powerful attacks
-
by maneuvering his fingers in flawless coordination.
-
Pain Resistance: Even after taking numerous blows from Luffy in Gear Fourth,
-
to which sent Doflamingo rocketing through dozens of buildings and a mountain
-
he was still able to fight and even control his Haki and awakened powers.
-
Furthermore, despite being so severely exhausted and injured,
-
Doflamingo was able to fight dozens of powerful gladiators
-
and defeat them all with little effort.
-
After all this, it took Luffy's powerful King Kong Gun to finally knock him unconscious.
-
Thermal Resistance: He was able to block a Diable Jambe enhanced kick from Sanji
-
without feeling the effects of the attack's intensive heat
-
and managed to prevent himself from being completely frozen by Kuzan,
-
as shortly after the ice-encased him, he shattered the frozen prison,
-
showing absolutely no pain or discomfort from doing so.
-
Experienced Combatant:
-
Doflamingo has also shown considerable hand-to-hand combat expertise,
-
specializing in a kick-based style of combat,
-
as he was able to deliver a single roundhouse kick to his opponent badly wounding him
-
and fluidly dodge his attack in an instant.
-
Master Manipulator: He is well-versed in psychological warfare,
-
as he prepared to use the fruit as bait to break apart the alliance between Luffy and Law,
-
believing that Luffy would never allow anyone else to have it.
-
Additionally, he also used his influence to have the media print out falsified news
-
and was able to deceive the entire world that he resigned from the Shichibukai
-
in order to set a trap for his foes.
-
Sheer Willpower: Doflamingo has an unbreakable will to survive with pride,
-
refusing to plea or die even when citizens tortured him brutally,
-
while swearing aloud to live through it to kill everyone in revenge;
-
compared to how Homing and Rosinante were begging for mercy,
-
Doflamingo's willpower utterly horrified his father, his brother and the torturers alike.
-
Supernatural Vitality: Even when being hunted down by the Celestial Dragons,
-
Doflamingo managed to escape them due to his will to live.
-
Even after taking Law's Gamma Knife,
-
and then quickly followed by a point-blank Counter Shock,
-
which ruptured his organs, he was able to stitch them back together using his Devil Fruit.
-
Devil Fruit
-
He ate the Ito Ito no Mi which was given by Trebol
-
that allowed him to control and manipulate strings.
-
Using his "Parasite" technique it allows him to control other people
-
no matter how they resist
-
and would usually use it when he wants the victims to fight against each other.
-
He is shown to be able to slice objects as he slices off Oars Jr.'s leg in one swift motion.
-
He is able to create clones of himself called Black Knight
-
which could be mistaken to be the real Doflamingo.
-
His mastery in the fruit is so great he manages to achieve a rare power called the "Awakening"
-
in which he is able to turn the ground and buildings around him into string
-
which is useful in offense and defense.
-
Haki: Doflamingo is one of the very small number of people in the world
-
who can use all three types of Haki.
-
Although he has never demonstrated any traits of using Kenbunshoku Haki,
-
he possessed it as revealed in his vivre card.
-
Next, Doflamingo used Haoshoku Haki to knock out the majority of G-5 soldiers at Punk Hazard
-
and the first awakened this haki when he was around ten years old
-
during being pursued again by North Blue citizens.
-
Finally, Doflamingo used Busoshoku Haki
-
in conjunction with his Devil Fruit ability to seriously injure Smoker,
-
and to protect himself from a gear second Luffy on Dressrosa,
-
but this Haki was still not strong enough to defend against the sharpness of Law's sword .
-
Weapons
-
Doflamingo was given an obsidian-black flintlock pistol with luxurious gold plating by Trebol
-
at 10 years old.
-
Doflamingo was first seen using it after he defeated Trafalgar D. Water Law at Dressrosa,
-
firing three shots in rapid succession to brutally wound Law.
-
It was loaded with lead ammunition,
-
infecting Law with lead poison
-
as a mocking reference to Law's past with the Amber Lead Syndrome.
-
This pistol was apparently reserved for Doflamingo to kill people he particularly disliked,
-
as he used it to kill his father and brother.
-
He was also shown using a sword
-
when he nearly executed King Riku Doldo III in 10 years ago.
-
In short, Doffy is a very good villain, isn't it?
-
My video will also stop here.
-
Thank you and see you again.
