[Question] Doflamingo

[Bogard]

1- Do you think the bird cage is a move that handicap Doffy somehow? Even when not maintaining it, it was capable to cut Fujitora's meteors, implying there is a lot of energy as well as cutting power in this island wide threads that remain active. Maybe Doflamingo gives up part of his strength in the threads?

2- Considering he used a clone for the bird cage already, is it energy taxing as well?

3- Doflamingo created another clone(a second). Is Doflamingo the one controlling them or are they moving independantly of his own will? Does it require concentration for him to do so?

4- Considering he created one clone for the bird cage and another currently fighting against Luffy, does it mean he can create as much as he want? Or can he only create 1 or 2(i say possibly 1 because the first clone turned in a bird cage attack, so doesn't exist anymore)

5- Are the clones as strong as the original? If not, are their strength divided depending on the number of clones?

1. Yes I do think the birdcage effects his power at his base body. It will probably play a key role in the final parts of the fight against Luffy and Law.
2.Yes I think it is enegy taxing because its part of his power, he has to utilize energy in order to maintain it.
3.Hard to say. If he is controlling them, then he is only focusing on them and is leaving his original body open to attacks. If he isn't, then the clones must have a mind of their own, an idea which I don't think Oda would apply to OP.
4.I want to say he can create as many because nothing telks us he can't. Simply put, he can create as many as his energy allows him to.
5.Yes I think the strength is divided amongst the clones. Otherwise he would be too overpowered.

1. No I do not. The only Devil Fruit that drains from your stamina is Law's. If it was something that happens to multiple fruits, it would have been mentioned before the Ope Ope no Mi, and wouldn't need to be stated that its a weakness specific to the Ope Ope no Mi.

In my opinion, Bird Cage is created sharp and sturdy and stays that way until Doflamingo's defeat. Doflamingo's Bird Cage doesn't need any extra stamina to be maintained any more than Magellan needs to use stamina to keep his poison poisonous, for Akainu and Ace to keep their magma/flames hot, or Aokiji to keep his ice cold.

2. Same for the clone.

3. I believe the clones act independently. Maybe he embeds them with Haoshoku Haki, giving them an "order" they fulfill.

4. I don't see why he can't create more than one at once.

5. I think Doffy can create clones of varying power. He had ones weak enough to be taken out by Kyros and Colisseum fodder, but now has one fending off Luffy pretty well.

So does it mean you think he share his powers to the clone or something situationally?

I think he can make it dependent on what he wants. He can make one just stronger than his opponent, or one overwhelmingly stronger.

I think it drains his energy and it will be the key for doffy's defeat.I will wait for oda's answer though

I hope he's like Magellan and producing large amounts of his stuff doesn't make him weaker.
