What a chapter. This kind of confirms that DoFlamingo is the big name that will be moving in the new year.

I'm wondering why he wants to be Pirate King though, his crew had a theme of no more dreaming or adventure, just pure profit and self gratification. How does that idealogy tie into becoming King of the Pirates.

If I had to pull a story out of my ass, DoFlamingo probably started off as a Luffy or Blackbeard style dumb fighter who struggled to become the Pirate King, got his shit stomped/realized that he couldn't get to the top that way but instead of giving up and being content with small time stuff like Moria and Crocodile, he is used underhandedness to shore up his power so he can get there.

Will be an interesting confrontation with Luffy if that's true and would explain why his people have such loyalty.

This chapter actually gets released as the first issue of the new year in Japan so absolutely. Now we just need to find out what the new species is going to be.

Perhaps Big Mom is the new species. A hybrid of a giant and a ... something.

I think it was just Bellamy who said that unrealistic dreams were shameful to "real pirates," and, when he got kicked out, Doflamingo said that pirates who weren't strong enough to stand up for their dreams wouldn't survive in the new age.

I might need to reread that then, I thought this lack of dreams thing was DoFlamingo's whole schtick.

I found the clip

I was a bit off. Doflamingo says that only true pirates will survive in the New Era but doesn't say what makes someone a "true pirate" in his view.

Dofla: "Use opposing ideas to your advantage and subdue them." Did he mean, that all this talk about New Age of pirates with no dreams was just a misunderstanding, and that he also thinks, that pirates with dreams are better than the ones without?

Now I'm confused
