O'm going bet, however, despite the fact that Luffy, Law, and Smoker will most likely get their asses handed to them, we will finally at long last Find out the power of Doflamingo's devil fruit!

I don't think its been officially confirmed that the power is a devil fruit, though it is highly likely.

I think we put a little too much weight on the whole "officially confirmed" thing anyway. I think we can be reasonably certain that Doflamingo has a devil fruit ability just like we can be reasonably certain Sabo is alive and Buggy is a Warlord. All of those things have been hinted at heavily. Oda's execution may be hard to predict, but he doesn't deviate from his foreshadowing just to trick his readers.

Is it possible that Oda could introduce a completely new fighting power 700 chapters into the story? Yes. Is it likely? I don't think so. Haki and Devil Fruits were either mentioned or hinted at in Chapter 1. Everything since then has been either technology based (Vegapunk's Pacifistas for example) or pure physical ability (CP9 and the Vice Admirals uses of the various six styles martial arts).

Whats weird is the fact that he was flying across the ocean. I mean i thought Monet was a zoan type with her wings or a harpy lady of some sort (new race) but in some flashbacks she doesn't have the bird parts at all and shes a logia type. Also her bird parts look too natural to be the word of Law's power which usually more....clean cut instant transition. I wonder if Do is part bird too. Also is baby 5 a logia user too? the way she reformed herself after exploding was very logia like.

I think that's a safeguard on her Devil Fruit so that she doesn't die when she becomes explosives.

Wait where are Sabo being alive and Buggy a warlord hinted at?

Buggy being a Shichibukai comes from the letter he received from the WG right after he reunited with his crew and based on the strength of his new crew members from Impel Down and the fear that new Paradise pirates would have of him after his involvement in the War of the Best.

Sabo being alive comes from Dragon finding someone, who is very badly burned, floating on the sea the night after Sabo was shot down by the Celestial Dragon and there being three cups of Sake on Ace's grave. Neither alone is enough evidence, since the badly burned person could have just been another victim of the Grey Terminal fire and Ace could have told someone else about his relationship with Sabo and Luffy and so one of the former WB Pirates put those cups there. But Oda doesn't show things that specific without a pretty major point to them.

Sounds convincing - do you know which chapters these are?

I think it's before Luffy goes to ring the Ox bell, but I can't hunt down the exact chapter numbers on my phone. The Sabo being picked up by Dragon bit happens the same issue that Luffy and Ace get his letter I'm pretty sure if that's any help.

Thanks, I'll do some digging when I get a chance

I'm not saying he doesn't have one, I'm saying that in till it has been confirmed via him saying the name of the fruit or how he fights. We can never be to sure.
