Early Reactions & First Impressions
1: Anonymous Pirate
He’s kind.
Doflamingo:
“What the hell is this cell…?!!!
It’s lonely as hell in here…!!”“Wait a second…
Are you actually protecting me, Magellan?!”“Fufufufufufu!!”
“So you’ve finally come…
An assassin sent from above, huh?”“So you sent assassins to silence me—just to make sure I don’t spill the secret ‘treasure’ of Mary Geoise!?
Fuffuffuffu!!!”“Fine. Let it be exposed already… Power doesn’t last.
It moves fast—and it rots away in no time…!!!”

That’s just him talking to himself.

He didn’t even confiscate the sunglasses. That’s mercy.
7: Anonymous Pirate
Weren’t the sunglasses broken?
Doflamingo’s Personality Takes Center Stage
15: Anonymous Pirate
Doflamingo actually seems pretty lonely.
22: Anonymous Pirate
>>15
Yeah, definitely. He messes with people more than necessary. He’s fundamentally an attention seeker.
33: Anonymous Pirate
Man, he talks a lot.
40: Anonymous Pirate
He tries to give off a big-shot vibe, but Dressrosa exposed him as trash.
41: Anonymous Pirate
He’ll probably get sent to Newkama Land eventually.
47: Anonymous Pirate
Doflamingo: “Show me today’s newspaper!”
This is pure cringe.
53: Anonymous Pirate
That’s literally just talking to himself.
56: Anonymous Pirate
If someone came to kill him, who would they even send?
Power Balance, Prison Logic, and Impel Down Levels
63: Anonymous Pirate
Having Magellan protect you is way too reassuring.
72: Anonymous Pirate
>>63
He’s immobilized with seastone. In that state, even a normal person could kill him.
68: Anonymous Pirate
What kind of cell even is this…?
69: Anonymous Pirate
Power fades fast. That line hits hard.
71: Anonymous Pirate
Theory: Doflamingo is actually enjoying Impel Down.
80: Anonymous Pirate
I’ve wondered this for a while—are the Marines and the World Government separate entities?
91: Anonymous Pirate
>>80
That’s like asking, “Are Japan’s Self-Defense Forces different from the Japanese government?”
95: Anonymous Pirate
Former rivals.
Mob:
“—Wait, more importantly… Captain Buggy!
You were actually on the Pirate King’s crew?!”Mob:
“…And you’re the sworn brother of Red-Hair too?!”Mob:
“So our savior was… a ridiculously famous pirate after all!!!”Buggy:
“This is bad…!!
If this gets out, the Government’s gonna put a target on my back!!!”
Jinbe:
“So he has a history like that…”Mr. 1:
“And yet… he’s that weak…”Crocodile:
“………………”Mr. 5:
“Then why is he that cowardly…?!”Emporio Ivankov:
“Every ship has a stain or two, you know~!!”
Luffy:
“Vice-captain…?!
You know that old guy named Rayleigh, right?”Buggy:
“WHAAAT—?!
You bastard…!! You met Rayleigh-san?!
How’s he doing?! Man, that takes me back~~~~!!
Vice-captain!! Where the hell did you run into him…?!”Mob:
“‘Dark King’ Rayleigh’s name just came up————!!!!
This conversation is insane!!!!”
Impel Down Levels Debate (Luffy vs Crocodile)
97: Anonymous Pirate
Straw Hat (300 million) → Level 5
Crocodile (80 million) → Level 6
What?
102: Anonymous Pirate
>>97
Well, he was a Warlord.
122: Anonymous Pirate
>>97
It’s about the scale of what they did.
137: Anonymous Pirate
>>97
He was already half-dead from poison.
132: Anonymous Pirate
Wasn’t Luffy basically thrown in there randomly because they thought he’d die from poison anyway?
What the Main Story Is Doing Instead

Meanwhile in the main story:
Nami temporarily ranks second in combat power, somewhere above Enel but below an Admiral.
The three princesses are having girl talk about Luffy.
116: Anonymous Pirate
>>110
Karoo is staring them down so hard it’s hilarious.
134: Anonymous Pirate
>>116
That glare is stronger than Whitebeard’s when Ace was killed. I’m dying.
129: Anonymous Pirate
Was it always this peaceful?
【Alabasta Kingdom Trivia】

They probably asked Tsuru to bring a brand-new pair.
147: Anonymous Pirate
Pay attention to the cover story
Chapter 279
“Pirate Luffy vs. God Enel”
↓
Moda appears in Chapter 904.
169: Anonymous Pirate
Oda is insane.
Chapter 279 → Chapter 904
Absolute madness.
Reunited with Her Family Thanks to Ace!! – Moda
Thanks to Ace’s efforts while searching for Teach,
the young girl Moda was reunited with her parents, who worked at a Marine cafeteria.Later on, in the port town of the Lulusia Kingdom—after it was attacked by pirates—
her life was saved by the Revolutionary Army.
Closing Takeaway
This thread isn’t really about whether Doflamingo deserves protection.
It’s about how power collapses once authority is stripped away, and how Impel Down exposes who characters really are when titles, crews, and fear are gone.
Magellan standing there isn’t mercy—it’s the system doing its job, while Doflamingo keeps talking just to remind himself he still exists.
