Do you feel that Doflamingo is been nerfed?


I mean back in Marineford we saw him casually decapitating giants and logias with a flick of his fingers, yet he hasn't tried any of that during this arc and he hasn't used parasite on Law or Luffy despite having glaring opportunities to do so.


Do you feel he's been slapped in the face with PIS or maybe there's another explanation such as birdcage limiting his move set?

I'll go out on a limb and say he beeds to recover from his birdcage move. He has to focus on that to maintain it, alwhile fighting Luffy and Law.

The Joker is joking with his target(s). That's all. Doffy won't die here.

Well he hasn't even started to get serious.
Besides that surprise move by luffy and law nothing else has been done to him.

Giants have never exactly been challenging opponents anyway. They were pretty strong at the beginning with Little Big Garden, but after that they became products of hype to prove other peoples strength. The only impressive giants we've ever seen were Oars with Luffys Shadow and that was with major hacks, and little Oars junior, sort of.

And he's still playing around w/ Luffy/Law. He hasn't been nerfed, he's just holding back. He's the type to play with his food before eating it, which is going to be the end of him.

Birdcage limiting his moveset sounds more like it. He hasn't gotten weaker though, he just casually broke out of a full freeze from Kuzan.

well to be fair

the giants werent OP at all considering everyone there (pre-haki luffy included)

and Sir Croc however badass was not shown to have Haki at all, and we know Doffy does


he hasn't been nerfed at all IMO

rather you are just comparing him to everyone else who have grown quite a bit :)

No. I feel that instead of expanding upon his overall power, Oda chose to display his diverse moveset instead. Which under the right circumstances makes him seem way more powerful than he was at marineford.

Why do you copy threads from other forums? Either way i won't really call it a nerf otherwise every swordsman would be called nerf for not cutting humans with attacks they can cut steel with. Though i'm curious to know the weakness of parasite

Doffy is doing fine, he's tried to cut law many times during the chase. Also he sliced up a bridge
