Donquixote Doflamingo Devil fruit ability​

The newest One Piece chapter really fascinated me, so I made a theory on Doflamingo’s devil fruit power. I’m not sure if this has already been made, but I couldn’t find it here or on other forums of some sort. So here it is:

I believe Doflamingo is, as most people think, a paramecia DF user. I seriously don't believe that his only power are using some sort of invisible strings, so I went further.

I think he is a soul man, where he is a soul himself, and can manipulate other souls, thus controlling others movements. Well, let me explain… I’ll begin with the basics of his DF power:

We all know that Doflamingo uses some kind of invisible strings to control others movements, as you can see here:

But I believe it is, as I said earlier, his powers to manipulate souls, so I’ll just call those strings “soul strings” from now on. These “soul strings” have also been seen cutting body parts; in this case Little Oars Junior’s, as you can see here:

So now on to the next “stage” of my explanation. I think Doflamingo’s DF power is somewhat similar to Gecko Moria’s.

We all know that Moria can steal shadows and place them in dead bodies, which got nothing to do with the similarities to Doflamingo’s power. The similarity I’m talking about is when Moria can shape a zombie’s body by changing the shape of the shadow inside them, as you can see here:

I’m not saying that Doflamingo can shape people’s bodies like that. When controlling the person with the soul strings, he controls the souls, which has the same effect as Moria’s ability. When he cut Little Oars Junior’s foot off, he cut the foot of the soul, making the same thing happen to the body. Basically the body of the person is in the same state as the person’s soul, like the shadows Moria are in control of.

Now to the last “stage” of my explanation, which was shown in the newest chapter… chapter 694 that is. On the last page we can see Doflamingo flying or hovering in the air on his way to Punk Hazard, as you can see here:

My theory about this is that he wasn’t using the strings to help him flying, but rather using his powers as a soul. He can fly by being a soul himself, almost like Perona, as you can see here:

So that is my theory about Doflamingo’s DF ability. I believe Doflamingo is a paramecia, being a soul man who can manipulate souls. This is just a theory, so no need to get worked up about it or anything. Just say what you think about it and prove it wrong. Of course, it could already get proven wrong in the next One Piece chapter, but I just had a bit fun thinking about the whole thing.

Thanks for the attention.

Well doesn't that mean crocodile would have died as his soul head was cut off?
And if he was flying as a soul you'd expect it to be faster and not slow.

 

[Punk Hazard]

That would be more of a Paramecia than Logia, but good theory.

Doflamingo is known for a person who is always having "fun", or rather just doesn't care. He could just tease Crocodile when cutting his head of, and plus I still think he needs haki when cutting the souls of other logia users.

Nice very good but one thing is that its confirmed in the game (by views) that they are indeed invisible strings. However they are not soul strings, doflamingo uses the strings to glide by attaching them to his feathered coat

Games mean absolutely nothing.

Thanks man Btw, Is everything in the game, from fights to abilities, cannon? Just asking.

absolutely nothing? i figured it out through the game, before everyone found out in the manga or anime. ya, so try again

Cannon as in accurate? sorry i'm not completely sure what the term is XD

Games can't confirm anything.

Yes, Cannon as in accurate. Everything that happens in the manga are facts, while the fillers are not.

 

[Punk Hazard]

No they don't.

well in terms of cannon, its is 99.5% correct. the other 0.5% are moves that they would use or is off panel. The Onepiece Gigantic Battle game is what i'm vouching for. Otherwise i think not

 

[VongolaX]

No they don't.

Instead of using opinions, why don't you proof it with facts. Otherwise all of these comments are worthless.

Give me a source, then I'll believe this ^_^

I don't think you understand this principle. Manga, what Oda says himself and SBS can confirm things.

Anime, Games and spin-offs not confirmed canon by Oda can't.

i jump around a bit, but i search through narutoforum.com mostly and the lounge as well

Read up top in some of my previous post it says 99.5%, they don't just make up these things.
How about this next week (if) they show doflamingo's ability come true. You can neg or insult me without any reports

I like the theory, actually, very, very nice job.

I agree completely, I think he has the same ability as Kankorou and Chijo, strings. Strings that are invisible and doesn't attach on the human body, but instead attach against or into the souls, hence being invisible. But I also think that he can somehow sharpen the strings and cause them to slice human their souls, however I think that when he slices the soul that then his own flesh wouldn't get hurt but his soul, meaning that he will get psychically attacked, having pain in the brains and not his own flesh, so I agree with everything, except for the part of when the soul will get sliced, his body, so his own flesh also will get sliced.

However, once again, nice job, and Rikerslade, your opinion is useless and not needed, I completely disagree with you and instead of giving a three/four words opinion than try to give a full description like Knight did, put effort in it or else stay away from the thread.
