Pirate Death Arrives.

Crocodile and Gekko Moriah, they are both losers.

One was defeated by a young Whitebeard, and the other was defeated by a young Kaido.

Without exception, both of them were beaten by the future Four Emperors to the point of doubting their lives. They even lost their fighting spirit and had deep doubts about their own strength and talent.

At the same time, their thinking also underwent some subtle changes.

Crocodile placed everything on the legendary ancient weapon.

Moonlight Moria is more of a depravity.

It's a bit like giving up on yourself.

In comparison.

Doflamingo is completely different.

Since Ming Ge went to sea, he has basically not encountered any setbacks along the way. In addition, his identity is very special, so the navy and the world government do not dare to do anything to him.

What’s more important is that Brother Ming still has a secret that can threaten the Five Elder Stars!

This gave Mingge enough confidence.

in this way.

When the pirates no longer have the navy, their biggest threat, everything goes smoothly. Isn't that normal?

Even many people don’t know that Doflamingo once robbed Tenjo Gold.

It is worth mentioning that this "big event" that was enough to shock the whole world was also forcibly suppressed.

Moreover, there was no subsequent punishment for Doflamingo at all.

It is obvious that the world government has compromised with Doflamingo.

Thereafter.

The Five Elders also established the system of Seven Warlords of the Sea.

After conquering the Kingdom of Dressrosa, Doflamingo successfully became one of the so-called Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Successfully acquired official status.

Yes, it’s an official identity!

The Seven Warlords of the Sea are recognized as great pirates by the world's government. Only pirates who are very famous or powerful enough to intimidate others are qualified to be selected as the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

The so-called Seven Warlords of the Sea, to put it bluntly, are the pirates recognized by the official authorities!

They are able to control a piece of territory, and even the navy cannot control them.

……

The identity of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, plus Doflamingo's own 'hidden identity'.

Under the protection of that dual identity, the Don Quixote family developed very quickly.

Especially in the early stages, things are different every day.

However, as time went by, in recent years, Doflamingo has obviously fallen into a certain bottleneck. It is very difficult for his Don Quixote family to go further and step out of the category of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

First of all, of course, it was the shock brought to him by the powerful Four Emperors 'Hundred Beasts' Kaido that caused a significant shift in his mentality.

Perhaps, from then on, he no longer believed that his future limit would be able to surpass the Four Emperors.

In recent years, since the awakening of the Devil Fruit, Doflamingo's strength has remained stagnant.

Obviously, he himself has no ambition to make progress.

There is a sense of being content with the status quo.

Secondly, there is Don Quixote's very obvious "xenophobia".

Xenophobia can indirectly reflect their internal unity.

However, this greatly restricted the development of the entire Don Quixote family.

Do not accept newcomers and do not absorb other young talents.

in this way.

The upper limit of the Don Quixote family can almost be seen at a glance.

Their lower limit...

As the core members grow old or even die, the overall strength of the Don Quixote family will only show negative growth and become weaker and weaker.

And regarding this point, Doflamingo still has to bear the main responsibility!

Without his approval, would the Don Quixote family be so xenophobic?

so.

With these two shackles hanging over the Don Quixote family, their decline is only a matter of time.

Luffy, the 'protagonist of destiny', simply accelerated this process.

in fact.

Doflamingo's behavior is closely related to his worldview.

During the Summit War, he once said that pirates were evil and the navy was righteous, but this statement could not stand forever.

Because only those who stand at the top can define what is good and evil, and only the final winner can define "justice"!

So, in the "Apex War", Doflamingo's performance was completely neutral and he basically did not contribute much.

If the navy wins, that would be the best.

He can still sit firmly on the position of Shichibukai and call the shots in the New World.

If Whitebeard won, he wouldn't have suffered much loss.

After all, there is no major conflict between him and Whitebeard and the Whitebeard Pirates.

For Doflamingo, it is indeed not a problem to withdraw from the "Marine War".

Afterwards, Whitebeard would not deliberately target him.

In the Battle of Marineford, Doflamingo's choice was purely neutral!

He didn't want to offend either side.

Of course, after all, his identity is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, so if forced, he will still slightly lean towards the navy.

Anyway, if he had to fight someone, he would definitely choose to fight against the Whitebeard Pirates.

Turning against the navy would be a bit too outrageous.

After all, it is the navy and the world government that can bring him benefits.

The relationship between him and other pirates is more of a competitive one.

In any case, the priorities are still clear.

not to mention……

As a former Celestial Dragon, Doflamingo also knows some secrets that ordinary people cannot understand.

Whether it is about the navy or the world government behind it, what he knows is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Therefore.

From his point of view, the probability that Whitebeard and the Whitebeard Pirates can rescue 'Fire Fist' Ace and successfully escape is very small.

As long as you truly understand the navy and the world government behind it, you will understand that the power they possess is not something that a mere emperor-class pirate group can match!

This is also the main reason why the world government has been able to stand for hundreds of years without falling.

Strong strength is their confidence.

Of course, it's undeniable.

The Whitebeard Pirates are indeed very powerful.

Although it ended in failure in the end, the navy also paid a heavy price to deal with them.

The navy's performance in recent times has been obvious to all.

If this was before the start of the War of Marineford, the navy has always been very strong, especially in the first half of the Grand Line, the navy's dominance was quite good.

And precisely because of the pressure from the navy, there were very few major events in the first half of the Grand Line.

The main reason is that I don’t dare!

The strength of the navy makes many pirates feel fearful.
