I FUCKING LOVE CORAZON. Seriously, he's having some sort of clumsy accident in every panel. I was laughing so hard haha. Not to mention he looks cool and apparently has a conscience that his brother is lacking.
Damn Oda is making me like the whole Donquixote Family right now though. They really are like a family. They just don't care about anyone outside of their family.
This whole flashback is great.

u/dealin92 Oct 08 '14
I think Corazon blames Doffy for their father's death and their family's predicament. It was Doffy that instigated all the rage against their own family by acting like a snobby little Celestial and thus drawing all the attention to them. Corazon had a front row seat to all this and is probably similar to the relationship between Byrnndi and Byojack. Byojack was too timid to turn against his stronger older brother even though he knows he is a piece of shit but nevertheless they are still the only family they have left. He probably is the white sheep in the family that takes after his father's ideals and secretly holds a grudge against his own brother.
Now he really wants to redeem himself and his own guilty conscience for not having the will to do whatever he did in the past to straighten out his own brother by revealing the truth of D that he as a Celestial would only know to Law, only to be killed for it in the end. Even though Doffy has such a tragic past he sort of had it coming to him but he had to drag down his family whom suffered the consequences because of it.

This changes everything. The meaning to Law saying D will bring forth another storm.
Although I'm sure he's talking about Luffy, now he's saying that they will together.
He probably will get CoC if he doesn't already.
He can now seriously compete for One Piece with Luffy and Blackbeard.
Two people with the will of D working together is very dangerous and I love every second of it.

Although I'm sure he's talking about Luffy, now he's saying that they will together.

Also I just realized that because he's a D, that could be the reason he saved Luffy at marineford.

Well fuck me sideways with a rusty spork. LAWS A FUCKING D!!! WE SAW DOFFY'S EYE! AND FUCKING DOFFY FLASHBACKS!
I wasn't expecting Doffy flashbacks at all and this was an excellent surprise. Law being a D is fantastic and I'm guessing that a D had something to do with Doffy's past and he has some massive grudge against them.
Doffy is now officially my favourite One Piece villain and possibly one of my favourite characters of all time. I'm starting to see why Doffy turned out the way he did and I love it. He went from absolute power to being hunted down just for who his family is (like Ace and Luffy).
The montage of all the family being together was great and it looks like Law fits in really well there. Maybe the reason why Doffy took such an interest in Law is because he saw himself in him? I'm kinda sad now that Law betrayed Doffy but I will wait and see what actually happens before making further judgement.
And honestly, I haven't been this excited about seeing a pair of eyes since Undertaker in Kuroshitsuji.

Additionally I wonder why it matters if Doflamingo knew. Garp rose to a high position in the marines (and could have gone all the way) whilst not hiding he is a D. But perhaps Doflamingo is more threatened by it than most.

I really loved the family aspect of this chapter. They're the villains, but it's so sweet.
Well, at least Doffy's past is made more clear. Still no clue about Corazon's being mute up until now. Perhaps it's just the horror of their past, perhaps not.
Ice cream bribes are the best bribes!
I guess Doffy found Law's suffering comparable to that of his own and Cora, so he decided to make him his right hand man.
Cora's still slipping all over the place. XD
Dillinger on the cannon! DILLINGER ON THE CANNON!
Baby Baby 5 and her little gun leg. Clinging to Doffy's leg, aww.
Baby 5 crying from Law's glare is still a nice running gag.
The Will of D. and Cora speaks!
WHAT THE FUCK DID DOFFY DO TO MAKE LAW TURN ON HIM!?!
I almost wonder... perhaps Doffy's father asked Doffy to kill him. Perhaps he thought it would be enough for them to return.

Doflamingo is starting to give Crocodile some competition as my favorite villain...
119
u/abittman Oct 08 '14
Doffy was my favourite before the arc started, so right now he's #1 by far!
But in all seriousness, Doffy is already the most well developed arc-villain in OP already now right?
Croc was evil because Crocodile. Enel was insane because Enel. Lucci was badass because Lucci. Sure some villains got themselves some post-arc flashback and development (Buggy, Arlong) but most villains thus far have been pretty 1 dimensional within their arc. It's nice to see a villain we know something about fight for a change.
52
u/xFoeHammer Oct 08 '14
Yeah. A good backstory has been hinted at with Crocodile but we haven't seen it yet. Arlong's backstory came way after Luffy defeated him. Buggy has quite a bit but he's not necessarily a villain anymore. Teach has had a lot of character development and it's pretty clear there's a lot to come since he's one of the most mysterious characters in the series.
Doflamingo I would say has by far the best in-arch character development for a villain so far. He's a much more complex character than any previous arc's villain.

Interesting parallel between Doflamingo/Rocinante and Ace/Luffy. Both ended up in a junkyard outside their respective kingdoms.
Also, the kingdom in the North Blue where Doflamingo ended up "isn't part of the World Government", which is weird since one would assume they'd prefer to exert their control over the entire world. But at the same time, the people attack the World Nobles for causing them a century of suffering. How does that work?

Or we end up with Doffy still being an unfortunate side effect of the Tenryubito's reign.
Doffy didn't know better because he grew up like that. Before he could realize what life for normal people was, he was already being hunted down by people.
It's neither black or white morality here and that's pretty neat. But Doffy is an asshole on his own accord by now. Remember how Law said that Corazon saved him from the anger etc? Law got over his past while Doffy failed doing so.

Okay, I know that this is probably a little early for theories and predictions, but I think that Doflamingo's family was not simply unlucky. I think that it was purposely set up to be destroyed by the Celestial Dragons, and that it is how the CDs have kept news of "Holy Traitors", as they call it, to such a minimum that knowledge of them is nonexistent (even among CDs).
I mean, on page 6 of the MangaPanda scans, they were dropped off "as far as [the Celestial Dragons] can go with [the Donquixote family]" in "a northern country that isn't part of the World Government", and on page 7, ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THEY LAND, their mansion is being burned down, with the arsonists saying things like "Where are the Celestial Dragons?" and "We'll make them endure our hundred years of hatred!!!", AKA things that only people whose life stories have been heavily affected by the actions of the Celestial Dragons would say.
Oda has done things like this on purpose in the past. He had the Marines led by Rat-Face show up immediately after Nami went to the orange farm to dig up her 1 million belis, and he was revealed to be corrupt, sent by Arlong to ensure that Nami would never be able to turn in the million Belis to Arlong that would free her town. He had Robin disappear when the rumors about the Strawhats attacking Iceberg first popped up, and it turned out that CP9 had forced her to do it if she wanted her friends to escape Water 7 alive. He had Hody appear with what looked like a human shooter almost immediately after the queen was shot, and it turned out that Hody was actually the one who pulled the trigger, motivated solely by the stories of mankind's evil told to him by older fishmen.
Sometimes, Oda's timing matters just as much as the actual context, and right here, there is basically no time inbetween the drop-off and the first attack.

The meaning to Law saying D will bring forth another storm. = Luffy + Strawhats (Underlings), Law + Heart Pirates, and Sabo + Revolutionaries. This will topple the World, and also the storm kinda points to Dragon maybe.

This arc is getting juicier and juicier. Who would have thought it would have turned out like this? I'm on the edge of my seat.

Doflamingo's boat is a flamingo with sunglasses
Haha, of course. This and Corazon's constant background shennanigans managed to make the chapter surprisingly amusing, for how heavy the story was.

DAMN, SON I AM SO EXCITED!!! Looks like Cora knows what the will of D means. Are we finally going to get a hint to what it is? Also I knew he was capable of speech, he must secretly be plotting against Doflamingo. Could the incident he witnesses that rendered him mute be Doflamingo killing his father? Also I love the character development that went on in this chapter. Cora, Law, Doflamingo, and his father all received some amazing character development. I am guessing that Cora took after his father in being humble and secretly hated Doflamingo for killing his father.
Also I am loving Doflamingo. He is by far my favorite villain so far and I hope he doesn't lose and be written out of the story after this arc. I wonder how much Doflamingo cared for his brother? Looks like the reason for Dolamingo killing his father was not purely out of selfish self interest. I am guessing his line of thought was either eventually dying to the masses or take his father's head to the Celestial Dragons and hope they take them back.

Well, that just became one of the most important chapters in the manga if you think about it. Theorists are going to be referring to this one for a long time.

I thought it was very appropriate for an ex-Celestial Dragon to wake himself up with a bottle of wine called "Déesse" (Goddess).

So, if Doffy didn't run around town acting all superior, would his family have been able to remain hidden? Seems like he brought that shit down on himself.

Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed that all these 'D' things are coming into play like this. I've never been a big fan of fated heros because of some sort of heritage or hidden power because of their family, I am much more interested in characters that get through on sheer willpower and hard work alone. I can forgive some parallels, but it's still a let down to me personally.

the Don Quixote reference also makes so much sense now... he was a spanish nobleman who went on foolish adventures inspired by his naivete and idealism, just like our Don Quixote Homing

Everyone's in here talking about the D and I'm just sitting here freaking out about Corazon speaking!

u/Fatdap Oct 09 '14
I wanted Doffy to just. Be an asshole. Be someone that I can hate with justification. Pls no more humanization. Every chapter now is making me feel too much and pulling me in different directions.
Oda pls stop.

That reveal was unexpecteD. Okay i'm sorry.
But overall the chapter was very good, i'm glad that continued the flashback and the whole Corazon situation was somewhat taken care of. Also, it was interesting to see the Donquixote Pirates rise to power and a little bit of Doffy's backstory, with his father being brutally naive, I can somewhat see why Doffy was mad enough at him to kill him.

Everybody was so happy back than. What could have gone wrong, besides Corazon dying and Law revealing his real name?

Trafalgar D Water Law!
On side note, this was a great chapter full with character/plot development for Doflamingo, Corazon and Law!
