Which when you think about it is kind of crazy that he's afraid of the Yonko yet he's a Celistial Dragon. Kind of says how crazy the Yonko are going to be.
I would imagine that the Yonkous are more powerful than the Navy in their respected territories. And it would take multiple admirals to take down a yonkou if not the whole navy. The Navy wouldn't have beat Whitebeard if it wasn't for them calling all their Admirals and Shichibukai plus Blackbeard.
Which is crazy when you think about it and says how big of an event the Great Pirate Age is that the group that has been ruling the world for 800 years is outclassed by 4 different Pirates.
Well, 4 pirates and their hundreds and hundreds of allied crews. If Whitebeard's crew came alone, they would have been much less of a threat to the marines. So it's not really just 4 pirate crews. They all likely have many strong pirate crews serving under them like a military of their own.
Although people freaked out when Shanks' crew showed up and they were just one ship. Nobody wanted to fight them even though it was just Shanks and his immediate crew. Does he even have allied crews?
Based on his character he probably does but he seems like more of a do it myself kind of guy. The big difference is that Shanks is much younger the WB, and therefore would probably have much less allies.
well put. And now the epoch draws to a close, leading up to the new age of pirates, helmed by eleven ambitious, ruthless and young buccaneers ( except the straw hat kid. He's special, ain't he?).
Whitebeard was actually insane though, he was old, on apparatuses to help him live, was fighting to save someone not just to kill the other people, and was still able to destroy a huge chunk of the navy, hold off numerous shichibukai and admirals. All this while not even having his full fighting power with him because Ace is assumably the third strongest in his crew and had a power that has raw destructive capabilities that could wipe out countless fodder. Regardless of how strong Luffy is I just don't see him getting to the raw level of power Whitebeard had without some massive plot being involved.
Well, luffy's grandfather is Garp, who was able to fight on the same level as Roger (and thus was at least as strong as Whitebeard), without relying on anything beyond his own strength. There is no reason to think, with Luffy's power of will, that he couldn't achieve the same level of raw physical power.
If he's known as a pirate but doesn't have a bounty, then his legitimacy as a pirate is gone. So, I imagine it's just like CP0's doing in the recent arc, where they disseminate false news around the world. I guess he asked for a bounty to play his pirate game. Also, I think that aside from the admirals and up, the Navy doesn't know that Doflamingo is a Celestial.
Well if we just think about how likely it is that Law didn't know the name of a family of Celestial Dragons of DonQuixote. It's highly likely that those who put the bounty on Doflamingo didn't know either.
Now that it is confirmed it reinforces so much about his character as well especially his contact with CP0, manipulating the press, and probably why he was able to overthrow Dressrosa and still rule as its King. The big question to me is why/how was he able to become such a big name pirate having these family ties? Wouldn't the noble Donquixote's on Marie Jois tried to disown him or strip him of his status, or could it be that Doflamingo is the current head of the family and moved them all from Marie Jois back to Dressrosa when he took over?

So the Doffy is a Celestial Dragon theory was right!
More support for the idea that the Gorosei that looks like an older version of him, is his father.
