I'm honestly so sick of hearing this. Doflamingo disabled Jozu. Completely. Jozu is in A WAR. His FRIENDS are DYING all around him. Jozu is one of THE most SERIOUS characters in the series, he's never been depicted with anything but a frown and furrowed eyebrows, he's never ONCE been depicted as even smiling. WHY would Jozu play games and just let Doflamingo disable him and keep the disabling up if he could have broken out? NOTHING indicates Jozu could have escaped on his own, while his character and the circumstances around him all indicate that if he could have escaped, he would have.
Doflamingo disables an opponent with the same technique he uses to control them. When Doflamingo was controlling Bellamy and his friend, there were moments when they were standing still and not moving at all, while begging Doflamingo to stop controlling them. That shows that moments where Doflamingo controls someone and they aren't moving are done with the same technique as when he is controlling them and making them move.
