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.
Thank you for getting my point

What exactly are you referring to? Me saying it's more Paramecia than Logia, or my convo with Varia?

If it's the Paramecia thing, it does fit more than a Logia because a Logia allows the user to create and become an element. Souls aren't an element and Knight doesn't say anywhere that Joker can create souls. And it can't be a Zoan because souls aren't an animal. Paramecia is the only option left and makes the most sense because this Soul Fruit would be manipulation and augmentation of Joker's soul, a higher form of body manipulation.

If it's my convo with Varia, am I wrong? Is it not true that games and anime do not confirm things? C'mon, you've been here a while, so you must know about this.

And I didn't need anything more. I kept it short and sweet and said what I needed to say, in both my response to Knight and my convo with Varia .What, was I suppose to repeat what Knight said with a few differences here and there? What's the use in such redundant posting?

Paramecia part, agree.

But the rest. what do you mean Games say nothing? How did they get to use the abilities and stuff they have and can use without the anime or manga? Are they even able to make a game of a certain anime or manga and use the name without any anime or manga proof?

What I'm trying to say is, games don't confirm anything. If a game says Zoro's entire family are Marines, but Oda and the manga don't, then it's not canon facts. Just because a game says Joker has String String Fruit doesn't mean it's a fact.

Not to be rude, but the game just says devil fruit

My little response to this: I now agree that it suits to be a paramecia more than Logia. I'll change it right away, and thanks for the criticism ^_^

I agree with this, and One Piece wikia says Doflamingo has an unknown ability that includes invisible strings. It's a really high possibility it's just the string string fruit, but after keeping it a secret for so long, I think Oda is going to surprise us somehow.

They do. Why would they say ZORO? How do they know him? Marines? Military marines? Like I try to say, they all have it from the Anime/Manga, not for nothing, no matter what example you insert. If they had the 'String String Fruit' then it's very well thought out. It's basically related to his ability as you can see in the anime/manga, maybe this whole theory is true, but name the fruit something else. Who knows?

You're missing my point. I'm not,saying the games are wrong, or are doomed to be wrong, but that they don't CONFIRM.

Someone brought up that if it was indeed soul, it would have cut Crocodile's head permanently, for sould and haki and spirit and all that jazz are all very interconnected. Something allowing you to affect the very soul of a person (which is, in essence, what Haki does) would be strong against DF, and thus Crocodile would be dead.

I think Strings is still the way to go. The cutting ability is also why I more leaning towards String, rather than Puppet.

As for how he flies, he has a really strange motion line. If you see Brook's or Perona's flying manner, it's much more fluid and ghostly. DoFlamingo's is more wacky and eccentric, almost as if he is pulling different parts of his body at different times, making himself fly, pulling once to acquire height, and when he looses height, he pulls himself again.

he could have haki, because WB used haki on akoji and he didn't die

Haki is more of a sixth sense thingy, not the soul itself. Cutting off Crocodiles head wouldn't kill him, because I think Doflamingo needs to use Haki when cutting of the souls of devil fruit users.

I still think he uses strings as a weapon, just like Moria using a scissor. I just think it's, like I call them, soul strings that only affects the soul, thus affecting the body.

The flying thing can be because of different reasons, from ability to windy location. I'm not saying there's a low chance for the string string fruit to be true, it's rather the opposite.

I don't know what Doflamingo actually latched onto when we see him flying across the ocean, but I do know from what he's shown it's clearly strings he's using
, kinda like Spiderman. Best view of his abilities is vs Oars. You can see him both use his powers to escape Oars by attaching a string to a flying boulder and when he uses it to cut off his leg, while
we have previously seen him controlling people with it. Why anyone would think there's some twist regarding the basic nature of Doflamingo's power, I don't see

If it was a "soul string", how the f did he grapple a rock with it? I don't see any logic in this.

Of course he uses strings, just as I've been saying from the start. I'm just saying these strings affect the souls, thus calling it soul strings. Oh, these strings might have an affect on other things than souls, which means he might be able to use them as weapons on objects as well.

I looked in case if I was wrong, and there's no sign of him using his strings on the building when he fought Oars Jr.
Could you please find me the manga page where he grabs the rock with his strings? I can't remember that :)

Tho when I watch it again, I realize that is just Doflamingo flying xD



So I guess maybe he can't grapple objects and you may be right. Still I hope he is the spiderman of OP, that would be cool

At least I think this fight is the closest clue to what his powers can do atm. The question is how is his flying related to his DF?

It's in my explanation. It's like the ghost girl Perona... she can fly or float because of her powers, and I think Doflamingo has a similar ability.

We've already discussed that. There's different haki levels and different resistances.

Haki is more of a sixth sense thingy, not the soul itself. Cutting off Crocodiles head wouldn't kill him, because I think Doflamingo needs to use Haki when cutting of the souls of devil fruit users.

I still think he uses strings as a weapon, just like Moria using a scissor. I just think it's, like I call them, soul strings that only affects the soul, thus affecting the body.

I guess that's your opinion. I see Haki as the spirit, the drive.
