I've thought of 6 counters. They are in the following spoiler/quote tag :)

1) Seeing as how Haki seems to be the thing that bypasses most devil fruit haxxes, i am inclined to believe that with good enough mastery of Haki, one can escape from doflamingo's strings.

2) I think heat could be a weakness to it. (melts strings) So maybe whomever eats the mera mera, will be immune to it? Maybe Luffy will go full body Red Hawk Lol would be cool though?

3) Maybe he isn't the only one that can move his strings? If you're strong enough or your Haki is strong enough you can move Doflamingo's fingers and break them?


Remember Kankuro connecting his chakra threads to edo-sasori's and then dragging Edo-Sasori down into the hole the alliance made?

4) Or Fire and Electricity could travel across the Strings?

5) Cut em, with Busoshuku Haki imbued swords?


6) Aokiji freezes the string and DD's finger. He will be stuck and cannot use his string anymore too bad this aint happening haha :p


NOTE: I know about having no clouds around, Doffy can't fly, but seriously his pretty tough on land as much as he is in air :sweat:

What are some counters that you can think of to counteract Doflamingo's String string no mi?

Number 5 was the most accurate IMO.

This guy can be DD's weakness. His eternal enemy?

I wonder why dragon didn't send him , or maybe he might have a surprising appearance in the story ?

He can also be weakness of diamante :yeah:

Doffy's string weakness

Reset: Because his strings are connected to him they have to reset so when he misses I think they leave him vulnerable to hits

Close Range:I think DD is at best when he can maintain space away from you and pick you to pieces so if you shorten you range you can turn him into a fighter

Nothing I mean dof was able to stop a full powered dozu in his tracks and even cut diamond (he cut joZu) also rivaled law in blows sword vs strings and no one on team straw hat has stronger haki then law besides Luffy and he doesn't use swords
The zoro fanboys will argue tht we haven't seen his true strength the same can b applied by law he was handicapped against vergo and was saving ppl while fight dof and got jumped by doflamngo and admiral... So yeah but from what we have seen law>zoro expecally in terms of haki (key words from what we've seen)

Also doflamngo has pretty OP haki himself lol so ppl cutting it (with exceptions of yanko admirals dragon akoiji Mihawk )
I dnt see tht happening at all

Also he has Conquers haki didn't it state somewhere in manga tht only those truly gifted or profient with haki can attain this type of haki
So besides those ppl in list tht I had up there I dnt see anyone cutting doflamngo's strings ...
Also from what we know (tht can change) as long as he has clouds he can have an infinite amount of strings if u catch some big whoop what about the others tht will come from behind u and attack u lol

Here are my two things i think would win.

Any Neko Neko no mi(zoan cat devil fruit)(a housecat model would work particularily well) Cats love to play with yarn balls and strings. So doffy tries to make a giant string trap, the cat would just make it into a giant stringball.

A serious counter would be the scissor scissor fruit. Inazuma can completely fodderize doffys devil fruit. It Counters doffy DF at least as much as luffys does with enels df. If not more.

Blades, maybe you can break his fingers by being too strong?, Maybe fire or lightning can travel across the strings?

the only way i can think for luffy to counter them is by eithger having beast CoO, which sanji had but still wasn't able to fight him.

either cover his whole body with armament haki+gear second=Red hawk body??

he can't do that whole body with armament lol , because his haki is still weak.

well, we haven't seen him going "all out", not to mention that would be a nice power-up.
