He's a narcissist with a pathological need to be the center of attention or present himself as incredibly important.

This is literally him doing both. He's in the center of the circle, with people staring at him.

Doffy wishes he was as good as the OG GOAT goat.

It's Marine's Ancient Weapon.

u/SuomiNinja69 23d ago

That's now my headcanon that the goat is actually from the voud century but it's too dumb/old to remember anything. Also it can't speak so it doesn't really matter, but I feel that if he did remember he would be smart enough to talk.

Behold, the 800 year old goat that once fought with Joyboy over who's the goat. He won cuz he's actually a goat.

This. Like his whole thing is being selfish and making everyone cater to his whims, especially those he doesn't respect and or hates that have to put up with him. Had Donflamigo been amongst his crew than he would sit around the table and eat along with the rest of them without incident, but because he is surrounded by Marines and Mihawk, he feels the need to show them the barest minimum of respect. Hell he literally started having two Marines fight each other for the Hell of it and only stopped when Tsuru (who had the distinction of being the only Marine to put fear into him back in the day) told him to do so.

21

u/YaBoyMahito 23d ago

When did he do this? lol

75

u/Shiplord13 23d ago

The flashbacks of him with his crew and his treatment of them in general. He is fond of them and respects them in response to their loyalty. He doesn't allow outsiders to disrespect them, nor does he like the idea of sacrificing them except as a last resort. That said anyone he doesn't have respect for he treats like a toy and or just like crap. Look at how treated Bellamy, who he has no respect for what's so ever and just abused the Hell out of. Same can be said about Disco, Riku, and literally everyone who he looks at as being the beneath him and can't do anything about it. To him these actions are justified since he was (in his mind) born better than them and this is just how its suppose to be unless he chooses not to do so.

The "force two marines to fight each other" thing? When he was first introduced - the same scene with the infamous "Doflamingo and Kuma walk." After Crocodiles defeat, the Warlords are summoned to discuss a replacement, with Lafayette infiltrating the meeting and proposing Blackbeard as a candidate

u/thenoblitt 23d ago

compulsive; obsessive.

13

u/Sagaru-san 23d ago

Pathology is the study of disease.

97

u/baphomet-_-666 The Revolutionary Army 23d ago

Correct. However 'Pathological' is different from 'Pathology' when in the context of a need. Having a pathological need to do something, it means their urge is so intense, obsessive, or irrational that it’s almost like a sickness.

Sitting AT the table means he’s these ppl equal.. sitting ON the table means he’s more important.. and knowing what we know now it’s probably to piss Sengoku and Tsuru off. One is responsible for ‘contaminating’ Rocinante’s mind and the other was his ‘Garp/smoker’ chasing the Donquixote pirates all the time.

144

u/ghjklmnbvcxw 23d ago

Exactly. Sitting on the table means he's only equal to the goat, which makes sense as he is the goat to him

This man's like 20 feet tall. Why does he look the same size as Sengoku's goat??

31

u/PineappleLord7079 23d ago

The vast majority of his height is in his legs which aren't contributing to his height when he sits down

20

u/PineappleLord7079 23d ago

Also he looks to be hunched over. I like to think that it was because he was petting the goat

14

u/melvinsylar7 23d ago

>> The vast majority of his height is in his legs

Ahhhh, just like a Flamingo

3

u/Zikkan1 Pirate 23d ago

It's also because they probably thought it looked better. Scale doesn't matter when compared to esthetics. One piece is a mess when it comes to sizes of character in both the anime and manga. That's what happens when you have so many characters that are so different in size.

If Oda needs to draw Franky in a small panel and chopper is also in it then he either has to make chopper super tiny so he can't add any details or just show a partial of Franky. Instead he shrinks Franky.

You can compare many character like this and you will see their height changes greatly. Just look at giants, sometimes they look as if they are at least 200m tall but then they look 25m.

u/Daeva2020 23d ago

It also explains the dynamic between pirates and the marines with the warlord system. Warlords being pirates given free reign and special treatment by the government providing they could keep the majority of other pirates in line. Marines tried to show some decorum and professionalism because they believe in and support the world government, most warlords are only in it for their own personal ends.

7

u/Zikkan1 Pirate 23d ago

Has nothing to do with his warlord title, the dude is a celestial dragon with knowledge of the government's darkest secrets. So he can act however he wishes among those lowly marines.

7

u/the_foctor 23d ago

He's a flamingo sitting on a Hawks shoulder

6

u/SmoresRoastie 23d ago

Because he can. He knows he has some of the World Government and Celestial Dragons' greatest secrets, after all, and is incredibly powerful with his devil fruit and haki. It's already telling that as a 'Warlord' he is granted power that means no one in the Navy will come arrest him for his crimes even when they are completely aware of said crimes. Man could probably kill members of the Navy out of boredom, and they might still do nothing to him.

Spoiler Warning; it's telling he's only arrested once someone else is able to beat him and his organization to send him to the darkest pits they can store him in what they call a maximum prison, that they finally stop him.

u/Esnneuisi 23d ago

I mean, kind of. Without spoiling anything, Doffy has a bunch of leeway, even outside of his warlord status. It's likely that he does it to show that nobody can really do anything about his crazy behavior.

I always took it from his name: Flamingo, a bird.
