Many people complain that the Dressrosa arc was too long and dragged out so here I present: The Dressrosa Arc - A Summary

[bobauthorman]

One Piece of the New Era

Occasionally in One Piece, the phrase "New Era" is tossed about by various characters. When the story starts, it has been 22 years since Gold Roger's legendary execution, when his final words spurred countless pirate crews to form in search of his treasure, the One Piece. This is called the "Great Pirate Era". But in the two decades since it began, no one has claimed the treasure, and the world has entered a status quo, upheld by the three Great Powers; The Navy of the World Government, the Seven Warlords of the Sea who work with them, and the Four Emperors of pirates. So, what is the New Era supposed to entail?

The first time we hear of a "new" era is in Jaya, where Bellamy tosses this out;

As far as Bellamy is concerned, the New Era is where pirates give up on immaterial goals like becoming Pirate King or pursuing dreams. Instead, they focus on regular treasures, like what pirates normally do. As the arc goes on, it becomes apparent that Bellamy is just a bully looking for a fancy rhetoric to hide behind, to the point that even Blackbeard calls him out indirectly. Luffy easily driving Bellamy's head into the boardwalk later shows just how weak this "new era" talk is.

The next time we hear of a new era, it's from Bellamy's boss, Don Quixote Doflamingo;

This is very vague, and hard to figure out, but essentially Doflamingo's version of the New Era is where the relative 'peace' established by the Three Great Powers will come crashing down, and only the truly strong and ruthless will be able to make their way. As we learn, Doflamingo has ties to both the World Government and Four Emperors as a Warlord and black market dealer, so he's in the perfect position to let the chaos unfold, safe and secure. No matter who wins, he comes out on top.

Except, he's not as safe as he thinks, which Trafalgar Law proves when he pulls the Straw Hats into his vendetta;

As Law points out, just because Doflamingo has had a good run doesn't mean he can hold onto it forever. If only the truly "daring and mighty" can survive, where does that leave the puppet-master who hid in the shadows? Nowhere. In this moment, Law trumps Doflamingo's rhetoric, and later on Luffy, who embodies the true freedom the series preaches, takes down the Celestial Demon.

And speaking of Luffy, what about his idol, Shanks?

Shanks also speaks of the New Era. From what I gather, he sees it as a changing of the guard, with new blood coming in to replace the old. He clearly sees Luffy as the bastion of the New Era, the positive aspects of it. However, he also sees the New Era being developed by Blackbeard, and tries to warn Whitebeard of the danger Teach poses. But Whitebeard was already aware of Blackbeard's threat, and his inability is a sign the old pirate is losing his place in the world...

And when Luffy's group does prevail in Wano, defeating both Kaido and Big Mom, who is there as an 'attaboy?'

You guessed it.

With all this in mind, it says a lot that in a series of inherited will, the greatest enemy is Imu, a being who is apparently immortal.

I know this is a very unpopular opinion but the only difference between Law, Corazon and Doflamingo is the fact that Doflamingo wasn't lucky enough to be saved. Sengoku saved Corazon, Corazon saved Law while Doflamingo was turned into a machine by Trebol and the others (not to mention the fact that he was raised in Marie Jois, which teaches you all the wrong things about Life).

We are also a product of our surroundings, not just genetics.

I personally feel for Doflamingo because the Anime shows that he does have empathy. He had empathy for Law and his backstory, he cares about his family and I truly believe he loved his brother a lot.

I also truly believe that Corazon never wanted to kill his brother.

Please, Oda, for the love of god, give our Heavenly Demon a chance to have some sort of redemption arc.

One Piece — "She passed out!!!"

From Volume 74 - Chapter 742 / Season 11 Episode 676. After Usopp refused to let himself abandon the naive Tontottas, he faces off against Trebol, one of Doflamingo's most trusted members. Despite his sniping skills, Usopp is no match for the snot-nosed pirate's sharpshooting. Operation SOP is truly a failure. That is, unless a miracle happens.

One Piece #789 (vol. 78)

I'm using all my restrain not to upload the whole issue. This is my jam.

(Also I love Zoro's reaction. As usual, he shows his faith in Luffy by going "you fucking better beat the tar out of the big bad!" It reminds me of him going "If he couldn't do at least that [take down 50k enemies with his SK haki] then I should be captain". Like, the crew has a lot of faith in Luffy, but Zoro in particular is always kinda demanding that he live up to it, while everyone else takes it as a given. Not that he doesn't as well, really, I think this is just his way of expressing his faith without being too vulnerable about it. He's wrong in the head, and I love him for it.)

When Dressrosa was first introduced, Baby 5 was going on a rampage in Doflamingo's mansion and tried to behead Doffy for like, six times because he's done something to her now ex-boyfriend lmfao I wonder if he's super protective of Baby 5. It must get in his nerves a lot knowing Baby 5 wants to marry every 5 seconds like girl calm tf down or I'll kill every man you meet 🗣️
