| “ | I told you the time limit was an hour...but that's just when the cage closes completely. There are injured people out there, and elderly folk who can't stand. Suckling little infants as well! Who will be the first to die? Within 30 minutes people will be sure to start dying somewhere! And within 40...we will be able to hear their screams from here! Within 50...this country will be stained red as a crushed tomato with their blood! And in an hour...no voices will be left to cry out! | „ |

What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
In General/Background[]
- Though he does have a tragic past of being forced on the run, his mother dying of disease, and being tortured by vengeful citizens, he went far beyond this tragedy by killing his remaining family and has no excuse for any of his actions. Furthermore, his brother went through the same experiences and didn't become as evil as him, though admittedly Doflamingo was negatively influenced by Trebol, who compelled him to take revenge against his father and constantly fed his ego. it should also be noted that Doflamingo acted as a Selfish World Noble unlike his family and had an arrogant nature in his childhood.
- While Doflamingo once cared about his mother, brought food to her, was worried about her health and even blamed his father for causing his mother to die, he has long subverted this love by the present as he is not shown to care for her anymore.
- He murdered his father despite his brother's pleas and seeing his father apologize for their situation, all to take his head to return to the Holy Land.
- Upon learning that Law had eaten the Op-Op Fruit, he planned to brainwash Law into giving his life to perform the Perennial Youth Operation on him.
- Though he deeply cared about Rosinante since childhood, even threatening to kill anyone who laid a hair on him, the moment his treachery was revealed, he killed Rosinante. While he did show some frustration over having to kill Rosinante and had been hoping his brother wasn't a traitor, it still didn't stop him from shooting him. What's more, even before he discovered Rosinante's betrayal, he was still planning on having his brother sacrifice himself by eating the Op-Op Fruit and performing the Perennial Youth Operation to grant him immortality.
- He usurped the title of king of Dressrosa by manipulating King Riku to attack his people. When he did that, he painted King Riku as a villain and usurped the title of king, ruining his family's reputation for 10 years.
- Implied to have forced a relationship and committed sexual assault upon Viola, after she was forced to join Donquixote's crew and the death of her sister at Diamante's hands.
- He had Sugar turn hundreds of people into toys. Whoever is turned into a toy is automatically forgotten by everyone in the entire world. The person as a toy is under the control of Sugar and they cannot do anything about their condition. Doflamingo had all the toys perform slave labor for him for many years. Whenever the toy 'broke', it meant that the person who became a toy died and was left forgotten by everyone in the world forever, before Usopp scared Sugar and made her pass out, which turned the toys back to people and everyone's memories were restored 10 years later.
- He enslaved the Dwarves and kidnapped Princess Mansherry to force her to use her healing powers for his evil deeds.
- He was planning to kill Riku to silence him before he could reveal that he was manipulated by him, but Viola saved him in exchange for joining his crew. He still forced Riku to appear at the Colosseum in the hopes that someone kills him for his "crimes".
- Doflamingo dealt arms to various interested parties, escalating global conflicts for sheer profit.
- Doflamingo allied with Caesar Clown and Kaido to build artificial Devil Fruits, more commonly known as SMILE, so that Kaido's army could fulfill Kaido's desire to destroy the world.
- Additionally, the Devil Fruits had a 90% failure rate, and those who ate the fruits couldn't show any other emotions than smile. Even with the possibility that Doflamingo didn't know this, he wouldn't care about the side effects.
- He murdered eight of Baby 5's previous boyfriends and destroyed their cities. He was going to kill Baby 5 but spared her.
- While he did appear to genuinely love his mother, this love for her is never shown again, and given that he killed both his father and brother, it's very likely he'd eliminate her as well if he needed to.
- He would use his String-String Fruit to force people to attack and kill the people they love and care about and is shown to take glee in watching it. For example, he had Atmos murder some members of his crew. In another instance, he also forced King Riku to kill some of his people.
- He corrupted Bellamy into disbelieving in dreams and focusing on stealing treasure and antagonizing others.

- He used the String-String Fruit to have Bellamy and Sarquiss attack each other for their defeat at the hands of Luffy despite Bellamy's pleas for forgiveness.
- He ran a slave auction where people of different species including humans (such as Boa Hancock) would be sold off to the Celestial Dragons to be their slaves until he lost all of his interests and abandoned Disco when refusing to help his employer against Monkey D. Luffy (who came to save Camie from being sold to the Celestial Dragons as far the Straw Hat Captain punched the Celestial Dragon disregarding his safety) as well declaring to Disco to never call him again, leaving the Human Auction House to be out of business.
- Doflamingo cuts Little Oars Jr.'s leg off and laughs from the amusement of making him suffer.

The Final Sea: The New World Saga[]
- During the events of the Punk Hazard Arc, it was revealed that Doflamingo was the man behind Caesar and was behind the gruesome operations that took place on the island under the supervision of Caesar, Vergo, and Monet. He allowed and incentivized Caesar's experimentation on innocent children and other individuals. Doflamingo also allowed Vergo to procure the children through the kidnappings. He also provided protection and resources to Caesar to allow him to torment and experiment on children and others.
- He severely wounded Smoker and tried to kill him and all his men at Punk Hazard. He stopped it only because Kuzan intervened.
- Taunted Luffy with the Mera Mera no Mi fruit of his deceased brother Portgas D. Ace, this being a trap to kill him.
- He runs the Corrida Colosseum where he forces the competitors to live in squalor conditions. When he is in charge of running the Colosseum matches as the new king of the country, he forces the competitors to fight to the death for his amusement. Out of anger, he is seen attempting to drown a man for not killing anyone.
- When he reunites with Law in Dressrosa, he is extremely hostile to him. When Law provokes him by mentioning the D clan, he brutally assaults Law and nearly kills him with lead bullets in front of the Dressrosa civilians. During his last battle with Law, he hacks off one of Law's arms, which causes him to scream in anguish, much to his delight.
- Despite Bellamy showing his loyalty to him, Doflamingo commissioned Dellinger to assassinate him for no longer being of use to him. When Bellamy confronts him about the attempted murder, he mocks him, tortures him, and forces him into nearly killing his new friend, Luffy.
- During his fight with Law and Luffy, when he talks about his brother and father, he rants about how much he detests them for inconveniencing him. He even tells Law that his brother was an eyesore and he is glad to be rid of him, proving that he discarded any love he once had for Corazon.
- He attempted to use the Birdcage to kill everyone in Dressrosa, which would have been thousands of people, as well as taking sadistic pleasure in describing how they would die. Although his attempt failed, he was responsible for many deaths and the destruction of the entire country. He did this as a reaction to when people found out the truth about his illicit operation on the island.
- He kills several gladiators as they try to save an exhausted Luffy from him.
- He created a rigged bounty game for people to kill/capture those he despised the most. Each star contains 100 million berries: 1 star for Rebecca, Viola, Nico Robin, Kin'emon and Franky, 2 stars for Roronoa Zoro and Kyros, 3 stars for Monkey D, Luffy, Sabo, Trafalgar D. Water Law, and King Riku, and 5 stars for Usopp.
- He reveals to Viola that he doesn't punish his associates for their failures or forgive them, but those who betray him must be "taken care of".
- Attempts to control Rebecca into murdering her aunt Viola, despite him having no real reason to do so at that point.
- While he seemed to care about his comrades, even considering them to be his "family", he was perfectly willing to sacrifice them if it meant accomplishing his goals or destroying his enemies. This was shown when he willingly sacrificed Vergo and Monet to destroy the Straw Hat Pirates and their allies on Punk Hazard (along with innocent children) and showed disregard when all his defeated allies in Dressrosa would be killed by his Birdcage, even claiming to Law he will just find a new family somewhere else.
- He and Sir Crocodile are the main reason for the abolishment of the Seven Warlords when the monarchs agreed to Admiral Fujitora's proposal due to Doflamingo and Crocodile inflicted pain towards both Kings Riku and Cobra and the amount of destruction they both brought upon both kingdoms (Dressrosa and Arabasta).
- Even after his defeat, he shows no remorse. He even bribed a guard of Impel Down to give him newspapers every day.
- After Vegapunk reveals the world will sink soon, he laughs at the panicking Impel Down guards and prisoners and even taunts Magellan about his fears regarding the prison's safety.
Trivia[]
- In the SBS of Volume 83, a reader asks the author, Eiichiro Oda, why Doflamingo refers to Viola as "Violet" and Viola refers to Doflamingo as "Doffy". The author states that this is a secret and an adult part of the story that cannot be a part of the story. He also states that Dressrosa is a passionate country. Since Doflamingo took control of the monarchy of Dressrosa where Violet was a part of the royal family and Violet has always hated him for the suffering he caused and only joined his pirate crew for her father's and her safety, it is shown that the relationship was not genuine and implied that the relationship was not consensual.
- He killed eight men who were attracted to Baby 5 and would destroy the towns where they came from. The killings infuriated Baby 5 to the extent that she wanted to murder Doflamingo. According to Buffalo, Doflamingo's reason for the murders was that he saw her as a younger sister and that he cared for her and wanted to protect her since she did not have the will to refuse any of the men. Buffalo also states that Doflamingo slaughtering the eight towns was his way of showing his care for Baby 5. However, Doflamingo's killings would also deprive Baby 5 of her happiness and her sense of being needed by another person as a human being leading her to continue to act out of her insecurities without providing any alleviation for them. This is later shown when during the uprisings of Dressrosa, Baby 5 betrays Doflamingo to join Sai since she wants to be around someone who cares for her. And that by joining him, she was able to attain her happiness and not feel insecure any longer. Plus, during the Dressrosa uprising, Doflamingo did not mind having Baby 5 killed along with everyone in the country as he also viewed her as a pawn meant to maintain his ego.
