Hey guys , so , lets talk about df ability and the ones who maybe knows their weaknesses.

So... the df ability of doflamingo are strings , since law knows doflamingo so well , he maybe knows some of his abilities and some of the weaknesses of his abilities , right? Since Law is with Luffy , he'll most probably will tell Luffy to be careful with some of his abilities or will tell Luffy some of the weaknesses of Doflamingo abilities...

In other hand... we have Rebecca , Bartolomeu and Robin going in direction to Luffy to give him the keys to Law's handcuffs and here's the chance of Luffy knowing the weakness of the clone of Doflamingo , most probably Luffy will tell Robin that he has to be careful or that he has to defeat Doflamingo clone first so that he can defeat Doflamingo and since Robin can make clones , she might also knows their weaknesses , right and obviously she will tell Luffy.

what do you guys think?

I think Doflamingo's weakness is that he can't control Logias. Unless my theory that he controls people by infusing his Strings with Haoshoku is correct, Logias like Crocodile, Smoker or Enel could just turn into their element and slip through the string.

Depending on if his strings are haki laced or not Sabo should be able to burn the strings....Now that I think about it Dofla's strings may be weakened against logias in some form. Sabo and Akainu could burn them, Aokiji could freeze them, Croco could weigh the strings down with a sandstorm etc...

This is assuming that his strings aren't haki laced but I'm pretty sure that they are

His Strings are Haki laced since he cut Smoker, but even if they were laced with Haki, Crocodile, Akainu and Sabo should be able to just turn into their element and slip through the strings.

Every person Doflamingo controlled so far had solid forms(Sanji, Jozu etc.). Doffy couldn't contol Crocodile(a logia). Doffy also didn't attempt to control Smoker who is also a logia. There is also some speculation that Doffy's strings can't be laced with Haki since Crocodile survived decapitation(or Doffy let him live). However, Doffy cut Smoker with them so thats debunked. Since Luffy is rubber, can't he deflate his body, become super skinny and slip out the strongs or something?

I think Doffy's biggest weakness is his lack of/weak CoO. Too many people have snuck up on Doffy in the series. Every time we Doffy dodge an attack, its directly in his line of sight. Thats proabaly his natural reflexes.

Luffy's body doesn't work that way. He can inflate his body because it can stretch, but he can't freely make himself skinnier. I just realized I may be wrong with how Doffy controls people, because when we saw Bird Cage go into effect, a single string attached to people's necks and that's how they were controlled. Unless the way Doffy restrains and controls people are done in two different ways, then even Logias without physical bodies should be controlled if he infuses the string with Busoshoku, and if I'm correct, Haoshoku, at the same time.

I just realized something about Doffy's parasite string. First of all, it doesn't cut anything. If it did, all the people Doffy controlled so far would've recieved injuries. I also think Doffy can only manipulate weak people. Have you noticed that the only people Doffy controlled were fodders, Baby 5, Bellamy, VA Stainless and Water Buffalo Atmos? Against people like Sanji and Jozu, they were only restrained. You could clearly see Sanji and Jozu struggling to get free using BRUTE STRENGTH. Fodders and the other people Doffy controlled before doesn't have that much strength. Maybe Luffy can resist the strings using his brute strength in gear second.

I think Doflamingo restrains people by lacing his strings with Haoshoku Haki and "flowing" it into whoever his strings are attached too. We know Haoshoku Haki can be infused like Busoshoku because of Luffy's and Chinjao's clash, and we know Busoshoku can be infused into Doffy's strings, so Haoshoku should be able to be infused as well. When Shanks used Haoshoku, it damaged WB's ship, so we know it has other effects than simply knocking out people. We also saw that people were being controlled, like Riku's men, without Doffy moving his fingers. There are definitely more than ten people rampaging right now because of Doflamingo's control, and Doflamingo isn't even moving his fingers all the time, so it's not simply wrapping Strings around them and then moving your fingers to control them like puppets by having the strings move their limbs. Not only that, but the movements Doflamingo has shown are far to intricate for a finger to do, such as having Baby 5 aim a gun at her head, which would involve bending her arm upwards, that's too complicated for mere finger movement.

I think Doflamingo does the finger movement for mere theatrics, he's clearly a flamboyant person, he controls people by having a direct mainline to their willpower through Haoshoku Haki.

That makes much more sense than my statement.

Weak Wills= Doffy has complete control
Strong Wills= Doffy can also restrain them due to the struggle
Super Strong Wills= Doffy can't control them at all

Mera Mera no Mi. Just burn all the strings with fire.

Also, it looked like Law did a good job avoiding Dofla's control when they fought 1 on 1.

Of course Doffy does. People say his strings will be burned, but the strings weren't burned by Sanji's Diable Jambe.
