The third of the Seven Warlords to be formally introduced, Doflamingo used to boast the highest known bounty yet revealed in the series at 340 million berries [[spoiler:until Luffy's new 400 million bounty was revealed]]. Sly and rude and disrespectful towards the World Government, Doflamingo is sadistically playful with others, and seems to delight in causing and participating in chaos. He is the head of a massive slaver ring that caters towards the Celestial Dragon nobility, and he is a believer in the New Age, an era where pirates focus on what's around them rather than embark on pursuits of romanticism, making him the antithesis of the Great Age of Pirates that Gold Roger set in motion. He has a strange power related to strings that allows him to literally manipulate people like puppets, sever limbs with ease, and presumably travel across the sky just as easily.

[[folder:"Pirate Empress" Boa Hancock]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Hancock_armchair_5532.jpg
-->[[ScrewTheRulesImBeautiful "Whether I kick a kitten... Tear off your ears... Even slaughter innocent people... The world will never cease to forgive my actions! Why, you ask? Why, it is because I am beautiful!"]]

->Child Voice: KanaeIto (JP)
->Adult Voice: 	KotonoMitsuishi (JP)

The sixth of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to be introduced. Hancock is the Empress of the isolated Amazon Lily and captain of the Kuja Pirates. Renowned throughout the world for her beauty, she puts on the appearance of being distant, aloof, and, well, a JerkAss of the highest order, spoiled and selfish, prone to looking down on others. Of course, she's not above exploiting her reputation for all it's worth, as she causes most people to completely lose their composure and turn into gooey, love-struck morons.

However, she has a FreudianExcuse as her past was not a pretty one. She was at first a normal young girl who, at an early age, witnessed Gold D. Roger's execution, and later hung out with her sisters Marigold and Sandersonia and the Kuja pirates. At age 12, while sailing with the Kujas, the three sisters were captured by slavers. After that, the three pre-teen girls spent four ''hellish'' years under the thumb of [[AristocratsAreEvil the World Nobles]], who among other things forced them to eat Devil Fruits, in her case the Love-Love Fruit (''Mero Mero no Mi'') which allows her to turn people who lust after her into stone, and branded them like cattle. Being branded as slaves is a constant shame, and she would rather die than let it become known. When Hancock was sixteen, a man named Fisher Tiger appeared and while his goal was simply the liberation of the fishman slaves, he freed as many as he could without discrimination. The sisters later were taken in by Elder Nyon, Raleigh and Shakuyaku, and returned to the Kuja pirates; to not let them know the truth, they said that they had killed a Gorgon and thus were punished with their brands, gaining fame as the Gorgon Sisters. The psycholgical damage, however, had already been done.

She has also fallen madly in love with series protagonist [[ChasteHero Monkey D. Luffy]], creating some hilarious scenes together. After all, watching a renowned Ice Queen fawn like a school girl over the completely love blind Luffy whenever he appears is pretty ridiculous.

Her former bounty was 80,000,000 berries.

His former bounty was 340,000,000 Berries.

Added line(s) 211 (click to see context) :

* AnimalMotifs: The flamingo, wearing pink, flamboyant clothes and walking like a flamingo.
* AmbiguouslyGay: The way he [[RealMenWearPink dresses]], the way he [[LargeHam acts]], and the way he [[FoeYay hits on Crocodile]]. May be a DepravedBisexual, seeing as he has an entourage of beautiful, scantily clad women at his mansion.
* [[spoiler:AssassinOutclassin]]: [[spoiler:Talks over the phone to Vergo, even as one of his subordinates, Baby 5, tried several attempts to assassinate him]].
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He's not only in charge of a pirate crew, but also is, or was, [[spoiler:the King of Dressrosa]]. It would also take nothing less than a Marine Admiral to take him down.
* {{Badass}}: Bonus points for fighting Crocodile in the Marineford War. Even more points for [[spoiler:easily defeating and almost killing Smoker]].
* BenevolentBoss: Benevolent-ish. When he shows up at [[spoiler:Punk Hazard to find Buffalo and Baby 5's heads (Law used his Devil Fruit to remove them safely from their bodies), despite their fear that he would say YouHaveFailedMe he just waved it off, saying they had done the best they could]].
** Judging by the above, as well as his interactions with Bellamy and Disco, his philosophy on subordinates can be summed up thusly: If you do what he says, [[AFatherToHisMen he's the nicest, most forgiving boss in the world]]. If you don't, [[BadBoss you're dead to him]].
** It also depends on reliability. [[spoiler:Monet, Vergo, Baby 5, Buffalo, and likely Law before his betrayal not only followed his orders, but were ''capable'' of carrying out those orders to their fullest potential. Monet and Vergo were great spies, and Law becoming a Warlord of the Sea is telling enough. Disco however was obviously in it only for cash and nothing else, while Bellamy was not only extremely weak, but was also an arrogant, [[KickTheDog dog-kicking]] [[{{Jerkass}} asshole]] and his actions would have reflected badly on Doflamingo had anyone found out they had ties to each other. And after the timeskip, it seems that Bellamy upped his game, got a lot stronger, and was welcomed back into Doflamingo's organization, this time openly]].
* [[spoiler:BerserkButton: Killing a loyal subordinate of his is a bad idea, setting him up and royally fucking him over is an even worse idea, and outing his secret identity (the one that he used in his extensive underworld dealings) will push him over the edge into foaming-at-the-mouth homicidal rage.]]
* BlondGuysAreEvil: Well, that shouldn't be your only clue...
* TheChessmaster: He hides it extremely well. [[spoiler: For example, he has moles (ex-crewmates) like Vergo in high ranking marine positions and pirates like Caesar Clown under his influence. It's implied back on Jaya that he was planning for Smilies to become the new thing even then, and then in the timeskip Caesar just so happens to have developed a weapon named Smiley. Oh, and Smile turns out to be a codename for Artifical Zoan type Devil Fruits, and he has a factory just for producing those. Unfortunately for him, he gets OutGambitted by Law.]]
** [[spoiler: Except not. He was using that as a way to set up Law himself.]]
* [[spoiler:CrazyJealousGuy]]: [[spoiler:Apparently is one, since Buffalo mentions that he killed every fiancee that Baby 5 had, [[DisproportionateRetribution and burned the towns they lived in to the ground]]. On the hand, Baby 5 tends to accept proposals too easily anyway]].
* DarkSkinnedBlond: In the anime. In the manga he's as pale as everyone else.
* TheDon: He is at least connected to some big-league crime operations in some way. [[spoiler: After the timeskip, he has a private Island mansion complete with servents who are his agents, and happens to be the head of most illegal goings on due to his Joker alias, so he most definetly has shades of this.]]
* TheDragon: Seems to be one for the Five Elder Stars. [[DragonWithAnAgenda Though, he's content with doing his own thing]], and made it clear he'll ditch them if he found it too boring.
* [[spoiler: EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The news of Monet not responding causes him to go to Punk Hazard by himself to check out the reason why]] says a lot about his character.
** [[spoiler:He even ''apologizes'' to Vergo, calling him a companion, or, in other words, a friend. There's definitely more to him than we know, most likely having to do with his past, as Vergo said.]]
** [[spoiler:By Buffalo's account, Doflamingo's murders of Baby 5's fiancés were driven by his concern for ''her'', whom he supposedly cares for like a little sister. Considering that Baby 5 tends to accept proposals from sleazes and swindlers, his atrocities might even be seen as a case of extreme BigBrotherInstinct.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's a self-centered dick and easily one of the nastiest of the Seven Warlords of the Sea [[spoiler:especially considering that he's serving as Caesar Clown's benefactor]], but he's not the type to start fights over dreams, and he even if he is, he'd make sure he didn't lose [[spoiler:which is why he personally (Well, [[PeoplePuppets almost personally]]) beat up and dismissed Bellamy]].
** [[spoiler: He also reacted ''very'' badly to Monet's apparent death, to the point that he jumped off a window four stories high to head off to Punk Hazard. Turns out if his subordinates are reliable, he'll care for them more]].
* AFatherToHisMen: You'd never expect it from the guy, but he treats every member of his crew with love and respect, from [[spoiler:silently weeping and driven to a berserk rage over Monet's sacrifice]], to thanking [[spoiler:Vergo]] for his hard work before his (presumed) death, and forgiving Baby 5 and Buffalo when [[spoiler:he finds their still-alive decapitated heads alone on a life boat]]. He even has shown forgiveness towards [[spoiler:Law]] to an extent, willing to take him back despite his betrayal, as well as [[spoiler: Bellamy, who he accepted back into the crew after he proved that not only did he change for the better, but he also got much stronger]].
* FlatEarthAtheist: In a world that practically ''runs'' on the power of dreams and love of adventure, Doflamingo is the main proponent of an objectivist movement.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: He has yet to remove his sunglasses, but is definitely the most amoral of the Warlords, especially with Moria, Crocodile and Blackbeard who were very malevolent people.
* GogglesDoNothing: He wore goggles in addition to his sunglasses when he was younger for some reason.
* HiddenDepths: He was [[{{Understatement}} rather upset]] when [[spoiler:Monet didn't answer after being given a fatal wound by Caesar]], and is grateful for [[spoiler:Vergo]] for sacrificing himself. And the fact that [[spoiler:he went alone to check Punk Hazard out says]] a lot. Not something you'd expect from the most amoral of the Warlords. 
** [[spoiler:Going by Monet's last thoughts, there is something far more to him than we think. For one, her thoughts suggest that he, a man who plans to spearhead a movement against an era driven by dreams, aspires to be the ''Pirate King''.]]
** It's also worthy mentioning something he did after [[spoiler:Law's ultimatum.]] He not only left the Seven Warlods, but he also forfeited the throne of Dressrosa. Although the latter act was not among Law's demands, Doflamingo did it because he knew that, once he was re-branded a criminal, staying as King would mean the entirety of Dressrosa would also be considered an outlaw land, which in turn would likely result in a [[FantasticNuke Buster Call]]. This shows he cares for his homeland and/or his subjects to the point of putting it/them above himself.
* HopeSpot: As the situation in Punk Hazard escalates, he seems on the verge of losing three of his subordinates though was most distressed about losing the SMILES [[spoiler:as it's later reveal he's making them for a pirate emperor, Kaido]]. He sends two more of his subordinates to check out the matter and they arrive just as Luffy had sent Caesar flying out of the building. Doflamingo's spirits raised a bit upon hearing that since as long as he had Caesar the SMILES Devil Fruits could still be made. [[spoiler:And then said subordinates are defeated and Caesar is captured to be used as a bargaining chip against him.]] 
* TheHyena: It is very rare to see him not laughing, and even rarer to see him without a smile.
** He's also the boss of a guy called Bellamy "[[RedBaron The Hyena]]."
* IslandBase: Well, although it has yet to be shown on panel yet, he certainly has his very own private island hideaway. [[spoiler: After the time skip, His mansion, on a island called Dressrosa, is his kingdom and the hub for his criminal empire]].
** [[spoiler: However it seems its not fully under his ownership as when Law states his ultimatum, Baby 5 exclaims they'll never be allowed there again if Doflamingo steps down as a Warlord meaning it might be on the World Government's payroll.]]
** [[spoiler: Or, alternatively, that the Government are at least aware that it is a home base for Doflamingo's illicit operations and a number of nasty folk, but turn a blind eye to it because of his Warlord status. The nullification of Doflamingo's treaty with the Government, would mean that they can no longer ignore the criminal operations there]]. 
* JustBetweenYouAndMe: He seems very fond of sharing his beliefs or relevant information with opponents.
* [[spoiler: KiAttacks: He has awakened Armament Haki and Supreme King Haki.]]
* KickTheDog: Forced Atmos to murder his own crewmates, with Doflamingo cackling all the way.
* KnowledgeBroker: [[spoiler:Part of his third occupation as the underworld figure "Joker".]]
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: [[spoiler:Gives up on killing Smoker after Aokiji makes it clear he won't let that happen. He did ''try'' once, but Aokiji froze him solid (harmlessly) as a warning.]]
* LaughablyEvil: Evil alright, but at least it's fun to watch him.
* LegitimateBusinessmensSocialClub: Ran one for the World Nobles for a time. [[spoiler: It was a huge slave ring centered around selling slaves to the Nobles, so they would ignore almost everything else he did. Such as sell weapons to pirates on the side.]]
* [[spoiler:ManBehindTheMan: Behind Caesar, Vergo and Law, even though Law clearly had his own agenda from the start and Kaido is the man behind him.]]
* MeaningfulName: His namesake, Don Quixote, is an iconic dreamer, in stark contrast to Doflamingo's insistence that dreams are just that, dreams. Ironically, he does share one connection to Don Quixote. Neither of them realize that their beliefs are merely a product of their own insanity.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Apparently based on French singer [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/michel-polnareff.jpg Michel Polnareff]].
* NotSoStoic: He has been shown to be annoyed before, like during his first appearance when he was summoned to Mariejois, but never outright angry. [[spoiler: That is, until Law defeated Vergo, revealed his own plans with the special weapon [=SAD=], and boasted that he's going to ruin whatever schemes he has and his influence in the world. That is the first time he's seen visibly enraged]].
** [[spoiler: Also when he didn't hear Monet's response as she had suffered a fatal blow to the heart by Caesar Clown, prompting a very out of character moment of him rushing to Punk Hazard alone]].
** [[spoiler: Then Law gives him an ultimatum : Either step down from his position as a Warlord and face the Marine Admirals, but getting Caesar back, or staying a Warlord, but facing Kaido's wrath for not being able to provide him with any more Smiles. Forget the SAD thing, ''this'' is when he got '''really pissed off''']].
* [[spoiler:OhCrap]]: [[spoiler:When Law reveals that he's set him up so that his options involve either stepping down and getting the Admirals on his ass or staying put but losing his bargaining chip with Kaido (the absence of which will almost assuredly get him killed by an enraged Kaido), this is his initial reaction before he begins to flip out.]]
** [[spoiler: Except for the fact that this was all a ploy to lure in Law.]]
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Most of the things he does is for monetary gain, and when something is looking like it isn't going to be profitable, he [[NothingPersonal ditches it and anybody tied to it]].
* {{Outgambitted}}: For someone who is a mean player of XanatosSpeedChess, he sure as hell didn't count on Law throwing a massive SpannerInTheWorks merely by [[spoiler: one-shotting Vergo and swapping Smoker's heart with Monet's before handing it to Caesar]].
** He also didn't count on [[spoiler: Law blackmailing him. See Sadistic Choice below]].
*** In turn, [[spoiler: Law didn't count on him feigning compliance with his blackmail conditions as a way of luring him into a trap.]]
* [[spoiler:PapaWolf]]: [[spoiler: What does he do after Monet's voice unexpectedly falls silent? Jumps out of a four storey building to fly over to Punk Hazard from Dressrosa to deal with whoever stopped her]].
* PeoplePuppets: He has the power to take control of people, and manipulate their movements while making hand gestures as if controlling a marionette's strings. Whether this is the result of a Devil Fruit or not is unknown.
* PerpetualSmiler: It's big deal when he's not smiling.
* PsychoticSmirk: What an unnerving smirk he has.
* PsychoForHire: He's the less sane member of the Warlords.
* QuirkyMinibossSquad: His old crew, and most people he employs seems to be this. [[spoiler: Even his timeskip employees are all kinds of quirky - one actively tries ''several attempts on his life'' and Doflamingo just goes about like nothing is happening]].
* RazorFloss: One of the uses of his powers. He's also fond of playing PeoplePuppets.
* RealMenWearPink: His oversized, feathery, and ''very'' pink overcoat. His tropical-styled shirt might count too. He probably wouldn't look out of place in ''MiamiVice'' if he ditched the jacket.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler: After receiving a SadisticChoice by Law, Doflamingo reaches Punk Hazard returning the decapitated heads of Baby 5 and Buffalo to their captured bodies, and ruthlessly mowing down the Marines, all while demanding the Straw Hat Pirates. He was also going to beat Smoker to death, and would have succeeded if not for Aokiji intervening.]]
* [[spoiler: RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He is, or rather was, the king of Dressrosa. He forfeited this title along with his position as a Warlord. Supposedly.]]
* [[spoiler: SadisticChoice: After Law captures Caesar, he gives him a ultimatum of quitting the Seven Warlords. If Doflamingo remains a Warlord, he doesn't get Caesar back, leaving him unable to create Smiles. If he can't provide Kaido with SMILE, he'll face the Emperor's wrath, and get his ass handed to him. On the other hand, if he steps down from his position as a Warlord, he gets Caesar back and can continue providing Kaido with Smiles, but the Marines, and especially the Admirals, won't stand idly by anymore. Definitely stuck between a rock and a hard place. He steps down from the Warlords and decides to take his chances with the Admirals.]] 
** [[spoiler: Except that this was all a ploy to trap Law.]]
* SinisterShades: The shades themselves are even shaped sinisterly.
* SillyWalk: Walks with a bowl-legged waddle in his first appearance.
* SlasherSmile: More like Slasher Sneer, or Slasher Smirk.
* SocialDarwinist: During the battle of Marineford, he delivers one particularly {{Badass}} HannibalLecture about how MightMakesRight.
-->'''Doflamingo:''' ''"Pirates are evil!? The Marines are righteous?! Ha! These terms have always changed throughout the course of history! Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war will always grow up with different values! Therefore, those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right! Justice will prevail, you say!? ''Damn right'' it will! And that's because whoever wins this war becomes justice!''"
* TheSociopath: Has incredible charisma and manipulative skills, but has no concern for anyone if they don't prove to be profitable.
* WouldHurtAChild: While it's unknown whether or not he would do this personally, [[spoiler:he did facilitate the kidnapping of many children for Caesar Clown's experiments, and then had Vergo cover them up]].
* XanatosSpeedChess: [[spoiler: He didn't lose his cool even when Caesar Clown, Vergo and Caesar were defeated. He instead simply ordered Monet to blow up the island after Baby 5 and Buffalo retrieved Caesar. When he found out that the island didn't blow up, he decided to go there himself. He only started to lose his cool when he learned that the Straw Hats and Law managed to leave the island with Caesar in their hands before he reached Punk Hazard.]]
** [[spoiler: Until he pretended to forfeit his decision as Warlord, and got Law to the rendezvous point at Green Bit with Ceasar.]]
* YouHaveFailedMe: To [[AssholeVictim Bellamy]].

->Voiced by: RyuzaburoOhtomo (JP), DavidBrimmer (EN, 4Kids), JohnSwasey (EN, Funi)

Crocodile is the second of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to be formally introduced. During his early travels, he eventually became disillusioned and began to view those who sailed for fortune and glory to be two-bit upstarts. He secretly formed a criminal organization called Baroque Works, whose public aim was to [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans take over the prosperous country of Alabasta and create a utopia]]. To accomplish this he worked to undermine Alabasta's King's influence by [[VillainWithGoodPublicity defeating criminals before the army could]], [[GambitRoulette and by exploiting a drought in order to pit the kingdom against an army of rebels]]. His Devil Fruit, the Sand-Sand Fruit (''Suna Suna no Mi''), lets him turn into and control sand, a very useful ability in the desert kingdom.

His former bounty was 81,000,000 berries.

** It's also worthy mentioning something he did after [[spoiler:Law's ultimatum.]] He not only left the Seven Warlods, but he also forfeited the throne of Dressrosa. Although the latter act was not among Law's demands, Doflamingo did it because he knew that, once he was re-branded a criminal, staying as King would mean the entirety of Dressrosa would also be considered an outlaw land, which in turn would likely result in a [[FantasticNuke Buster Call]]. This shows he cares for his homeland and/or his subjects to the point of putting it/them above himself.
* HopeSpot: As the situation in Punk Hazard escalates, he seems on the verge of losing three of his subordinates though was most distressed about losing the SMILES [[spoiler:as it's later reveal he's making them for a pirate emperor, Kaido]]. He sends two more of his subordinates to check out the matter and they arrive just as Luffy had sent Caesar flying out of the building. Doflamingo's spirits raised a bit upon hearing that since as long as he had Caesar the SMILES Devil Fruits could still be made. [[spoiler:And then said subordinates are defeated and Caesar is captured to be used as a bargaining chip against him.]] 
* TheHyena: It is very rare to see him not laughing, and even rarer to see him without a smile.
** He's also the boss of a guy called Bellamy "[[RedBaron The Hyena]]."
* IslandBase: Well, although it has yet to be shown on panel yet, he certainly has his very own private island hideaway. [[spoiler: After the time skip, His mansion, on a island called Dressrosa, is his kingdom and the hub for his criminal empire]].
** [[spoiler: However it seems its not fully under his ownership as when Law states his ultimatum, Baby 5 exclaims they'll never be allowed there again if Doflamingo steps down as a Warlord meaning it might be on the World Government's payroll.]]
** [[spoiler: Or, alternatively, that the Government are at least aware that it is a home base for Doflamingo's illicit operations and a number of nasty folk, but turn a blind eye to it because of his Warlord status. The nullification of Doflamingo's treaty with the Government, would mean that they can no longer ignore the criminal operations there]]. 
* JustBetweenYouAndMe: He seems very fond of sharing his beliefs or relevant information with opponents.
* [[spoiler: KiAttacks: He has awakened Armament Haki and Supreme King Haki.]]
* KickTheDog: Forced Atmos to murder his own crewmates, with Doflamingo cackling all the way.
* KnowledgeBroker: [[spoiler:Part of his third occupation as the underworld figure "Joker".]]
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: [[spoiler:Gives up on killing Smoker after Aokiji makes it clear he won't let that happen. He did ''try'' once, but Aokiji froze him solid (harmlessly) as a warning.]]
* LaughablyEvil: Evil alright, but at least it's fun to watch him.
* LegitimateBusinessmensSocialClub: Ran one for the World Nobles for a time. [[spoiler: It was a huge slave ring centered around selling slaves to the Nobles, so they would ignore almost everything else he did. Such as sell weapons to pirates on the side.]]
* [[spoiler:ManBehindTheMan: Behind Caesar, Vergo and Law, even though Law clearly had his own agenda from the start and Kaido is the man behind him.]]
* MeaningfulName: His namesake, Don Quixote, is an iconic dreamer, in stark contrast to Doflamingo's insistence that dreams are just that, dreams. Ironically, he does share one connection to Don Quixote. Neither of them realize that their beliefs are merely a product of their own insanity.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Apparently based on French singer [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/michel-polnareff.jpg Michel Polnareff]].
* NotSoStoic: He has been shown to be annoyed before, like during his first appearance when he was summoned to Mariejois, but never outright angry. [[spoiler: That is, until Law defeated Vergo, revealed his own plans with the special weapon [=SAD=], and boasted that he's going to ruin whatever schemes he has and his influence in the world. That is the first time he's seen visibly enraged]].
** [[spoiler: Also when he didn't hear Monet's response as she had suffered a fatal blow to the heart by Caesar Clown, prompting a very out of character moment of him rushing to Punk Hazard alone]].
** [[spoiler: Then Law gives him an ultimatum : Either step down from his position as a Warlord and face the Marine Admirals, but getting Caesar back, or staying a Warlord, but facing Kaido's wrath for not being able to provide him with any more Smiles. Forget the SAD thing, ''this'' is when he got '''really pissed off''']].
* [[spoiler:OhCrap]]: [[spoiler:When Law reveals that he's set him up so that his options involve either stepping down and getting the Admirals on his ass or staying put but losing his bargaining chip with Kaido (the absence of which will almost assuredly get him killed by an enraged Kaido), this is his initial reaction before he begins to flip out.]]
** [[spoiler: Except for the fact that this was all a ploy to lure in Law.]]
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Most of the things he does is for monetary gain, and when something is looking like it isn't going to be profitable, he [[NothingPersonal ditches it and anybody tied to it]].
* {{Outgambitted}}: For someone who is a mean player of XanatosSpeedChess, he sure as hell didn't count on Law throwing a massive SpannerInTheWorks merely by [[spoiler: one-shotting Vergo and swapping Smoker's heart with Monet's before handing it to Caesar]].
** He also didn't count on [[spoiler: Law blackmailing him. See Sadistic Choice below]].
*** In turn, [[spoiler: Law didn't count on him feigning compliance with his blackmail conditions as a way of luring him into a trap.]]
* [[spoiler:PapaWolf]]: [[spoiler: What does he do after Monet's voice unexpectedly falls silent? Jumps out of a four storey building to fly over to Punk Hazard from Dressrosa to deal with whoever stopped her]].
* PeoplePuppets: He has the power to take control of people, and manipulate their movements while making hand gestures as if controlling a marionette's strings. Whether this is the result of a Devil Fruit or not is unknown.
* PerpetualSmiler: It's big deal when he's not smiling.
* PsychoticSmirk: What an unnerving smirk he has.
* PsychoForHire: He's the less sane member of the Warlords.
* QuirkyMinibossSquad: His old crew, and most people he employs seems to be this. [[spoiler: Even his timeskip employees are all kinds of quirky - one actively tries ''several attempts on his life'' and Doflamingo just goes about like nothing is happening]].
* RazorFloss: One of the uses of his powers. He's also fond of playing PeoplePuppets.
* RealMenWearPink: His oversized, feathery, and ''very'' pink overcoat. His tropical-styled shirt might count too. He probably wouldn't look out of place in ''MiamiVice'' if he ditched the jacket.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler: After receiving a SadisticChoice by Law, Doflamingo reaches Punk Hazard returning the decapitated heads of Baby 5 and Buffalo to their captured bodies, and ruthlessly mowing down the Marines, all while demanding the Straw Hat Pirates. He was also going to beat Smoker to death, and would have succeeded if not for Aokiji intervening.]]
* [[spoiler: RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He is, or rather was, the king of Dressrosa. He forfeited this title along with his position as a Warlord.]]
* [[spoiler: SadisticChoice: After Law captures Caesar, he gives him a ultimatum of quitting the Seven Warlords. If Doflamingo remains a Warlord, he doesn't get Caesar back, leaving him unable to create Smiles. If he can't provide Kaido with SMILE, he'll face the Emperor's wrath, and get his ass handed to him. On the other hand, if he steps down from his position as a Warlord, he gets Caesar back and can continue providing Kaido with Smiles, but the Marines, and especially the Admirals, won't stand idly by anymore. Definitely stuck between a rock and a hard place. He steps down from the Warlords and decides to take his chances with the Admirals.]] 
** [[spoiler: Except that this was all a ploy to trap Law.]]
* SinisterShades: The shades themselves are even shaped sinisterly.
* SillyWalk: Walks with a bowl-legged waddle in his first appearance.
* SlasherSmile: More like Slasher Sneer, or Slasher Smirk.
* SocialDarwinist: During the battle of Marineford, he delivers one particularly {{Badass}} HannibalLecture about how MightMakesRight.
-->'''Doflamingo:''' ''"Pirates are evil!? The Marines are righteous?! Ha! These terms have always changed throughout the course of history! Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war will always grow up with different values! Therefore, those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right! Justice will prevail, you say!? ''Damn right'' it will! And that's because whoever wins this war becomes justice!''"
* TheSociopath: Has incredible charisma and manipulative skills, but has no concern for anyone if they don't prove to be profitable.
* WouldHurtAChild: While it's unknown whether or not he would do this personally, [[spoiler:he did facilitate the kidnapping of many children for Caesar Clown's experiments, and then had Vergo cover them up]].
* XanatosSpeedChess: [[spoiler: He didn't lose his cool even when Caesar Clown, Vergo and Caesar were defeated. He instead simply ordered Monet to blow up the island after Baby 5 and Buffalo retrieved Caesar. When he found out that the island didn't blow up, he decided to go there himself. He only started to lose his cool when he learned that the Straw Hats and Law managed to leave the island with Caesar in their hands before he reached Punk Hazard.]]
* YouHaveFailedMe: To [[AssholeVictim Bellamy]].

to:

->Voiced by: HideyukiTanaka (JP), RobertMcCollum (EN, Funi)

[[spoiler:After the time skip, it is revealed he is also a broker of knowledge and other things in the underworld using the alias "Joker." He has since abdicated his position on the Seven Warlords]]

His former [[spoiler: now likely to be reinstated]] bounty was 340,000,000 Berries.

Added line(s) 320 (click to see context) :

* AnimalMotifs: The flamingo, wearing pink, flamboyant clothes and walking like a flamingo.
* AmbiguouslyGay: The way he [[RealMenWearPink dresses]], the way he [[LargeHam acts]], and the way he [[FoeYay hits on Crocodile]]. May be a DepravedBisexual, seeing as he has an entourage of beautiful, scantily clad women at his mansion.
* [[spoiler:AssassinOutclassin]]: [[spoiler:Talks over the phone to Vergo, even as one of his subordinates, Baby 5, tried several attempts to assassinate him]].
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He's not only in charge of a pirate crew, but also is, or was, [[spoiler:the King of Dressrosa]]. It would also take nothing less than a Marine Admiral to take him down.
* {{Badass}}: Bonus points for fighting Crocodile in the Marineford War. Even more points for [[spoiler:easily defeating and almost killing Smoker]].
* BenevolentBoss: Benevolent-ish. When he shows up at [[spoiler:Punk Hazard to find Buffalo and Baby 5's heads (Law used his Devil Fruit to remove them safely from their bodies), despite their fear that he would say YouHaveFailedMe he just waved it off, saying they had done the best they could]].
** Judging by the above, as well as his interactions with Bellamy and Disco, his philosophy on subordinates can be summed up thusly: If you do what he says, [[AFatherToHisMen he's the nicest, most forgiving boss in the world]]. If you don't, [[BadBoss you're dead to him]].
** It also depends on reliability. [[spoiler:Monet, Vergo, Baby 5, Buffalo, and likely Law before his betrayal not only followed his orders, but were ''capable'' of carrying out those orders to their fullest potential. Monet and Vergo were great spies, and Law becoming a Warlord of the Sea is telling enough. Disco however was obviously in it only for cash and nothing else, while Bellamy was not only extremely weak, but was also an arrogant, [[KickTheDog dog-kicking]] [[{{Jerkass}} asshole]] and his actions would have reflected badly on Doflamingo had anyone found out they had ties to each other. And after the timeskip, it seems that Bellamy upped his game, got a lot stronger, and was welcomed back into Doflamingo's organization, this time openly]].
* [[spoiler:BerserkButton: Killing a loyal subordinate of his is a bad idea, setting him up and royally fucking him over is an even worse idea, and outing his secret identity (the one that he used in his extensive underworld dealings) will push him over the edge into foaming-at-the-mouth homicidal rage.]]
* BlondGuysAreEvil: Well, that shouldn't be your only clue...
* TheChessmaster: He hides it extremely well. [[spoiler: For example, he has moles (ex-crewmates) like Vergo in high ranking marine positions and pirates like Caesar Clown under his influence. It's implied back on Jaya that he was planning for Smilies to become the new thing even then, and then in the timeskip Caesar just so happens to have developed a weapon named Smiley. Oh, and Smile turns out to be a codename for Artifical Zoan type Devil Fruits, and he has a factory just for producing those. Unfortunately for him, he gets OutGambitted by Law.]]
* [[spoiler:CrazyJealousGuy]]: [[spoiler:Apparently is one, since Buffalo mentions that he killed every fiancee that Baby 5 had, [[DisproportionateRetribution and burned the towns they lived in to the ground]]. On the hand, Baby 5 tends to accept proposals too easily anyway]].
* DarkSkinnedBlond: In the anime. In the manga he's as pale as everyone else.
* TheDon: He is at least connected to some big-league crime operations in some way. [[spoiler: After the timeskip, he has a private Island mansion complete with servents who are his agents, and happens to be the head of most illegal goings on due to his Joker alias, so he most definetly has shades of this.]]
* TheDragon: Seems to be one for the Five Elder Stars. [[DragonWithAnAgenda Though, he's content with doing his own thing]], and made it clear he'll ditch them if he found it too boring.
* [[spoiler: EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The news of Monet not responding causes him to go to Punk Hazard by himself to check out the reason why]] says a lot about his character.
** [[spoiler:He even ''apologizes'' to Vergo, calling him a companion, or, in other words, a friend. There's definitely more to him than we know, most likely having to do with his past, as Vergo said.]]
** [[spoiler:By Buffalo's account, Doflamingo's murders of Baby 5's fiancés were driven by his concern for ''her'', whom he supposedly cares for like a little sister. Considering that Baby 5 tends to accept proposals from sleazes and swindlers, his atrocities might even be seen as a case of extreme BigBrotherInstinct.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's a self-centered dick and easily one of the nastiest of the Seven Warlords of the Sea [[spoiler:especially considering that he's serving as Caesar Clown's benefactor]], but he's not the type to start fights over dreams, and he even if he is, he'd make sure he didn't lose [[spoiler:which is why he personally (Well, [[PeoplePuppets almost personally]]) beat up and dismissed Bellamy]].
** [[spoiler: He also reacted ''very'' badly to Monet's apparent death, to the point that he jumped off a window four stories high to head off to Punk Hazard. Turns out if his subordinates are reliable, he'll care for them more]].
* AFatherToHisMen: You'd never expect it from the guy, but he treats every member of his crew with love and respect, from [[spoiler:silently weeping and driven to a berserk rage over Monet's sacrifice]], to thanking [[spoiler:Vergo]] for his hard work before his (presumed) death, and forgiving Baby 5 and Buffalo when [[spoiler:he finds their still-alive decapitated heads alone on a life boat]]. He even has shown forgiveness towards [[spoiler:Law]] to an extent, willing to take him back despite his betrayal, as well as [[spoiler: Bellamy, who he accepted back into the crew after he proved that not only did he change for the better, but he also got much stronger]].
* FlatEarthAtheist: In a world that practically ''runs'' on the power of dreams and love of adventure, Doflamingo is the main proponent of an objectivist movement.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: He has yet to remove his sunglasses, but is definitely the most amoral of the Warlords, especially with Moria, Crocodile and Blackbeard who were very malevolent people.
* GogglesDoNothing: He wore goggles in addition to his sunglasses when he was younger for some reason.
* HiddenDepths: He was [[{{Understatement}} rather upset]] when [[spoiler:Monet didn't answer after being given a fatal wound by Caesar]], and is grateful for [[spoiler:Vergo]] for sacrificing himself. And the fact that [[spoiler:he went alone to check Punk Hazard out says]] a lot. Not something you'd expect from the most amoral of the Warlords. 
** [[spoiler:Going by Monet's last thoughts, there is something far more to him than we think. For one, her thoughts suggest that he, a man who plans to spearhead a movement against an era driven by dreams, aspires to be the ''Pirate King''.]]
** It's also worthy mentioning something he did after [[spoiler:Law's ultimatum.]] He not only left the Seven Warlods, but he also forfeited the throne of Dressrosa. Although the latter act was not among Law's demands, Doflamingo did it because he knew that, once he was re-branded a criminal, staying as King would mean the entirety of Dressrosa would also be considered an outlaw land, which in turn would likely result in a [[FantasticNuke Buster Call]]. This shows he cares for his homeland and/or his subjects to the point of putting it/them above himself.

* TheChessmaster: He hides it extremely well. [[spoiler: For example, he has moles (ex-crewmates) like Vergo in high ranking marine positions and pirates like Caesar Clown under his influence. It's implied back on Jaya that he was planning for Smilies to become the new thing even then, and then in the timeskip Caesar just so happens to have developed a weapon named Smiley. Oh, and Smile turns out to be a codename for Artifical Zoan type Devil Fruits, and he has a factory just for producing those. Unfortunately for him, he gets OutGambitted by Law.]]
* [[spoiler:CrazyJealousGuy]]: [[spoiler:Apparently is one, since Buffalo mentions that he killed every fiancee that Baby 5 had, [[DisproportionateRetribution and burned the towns they lived in to the ground]]. On the hand, Baby 5 tends to accept proposals too easily anyway]].
* DarkSkinnedBlond: In the anime. In the manga he's as pale as everyone else.
* TheDon: He is at least connected to some big-league crime operations in some way. [[spoiler: After the timeskip, he has a private Island mansion complete with servents who are his agents, and happens to be the head of most illegal goings on due to his Joker alias, so he most definetly has shades of this.]]
* TheDragon: Seems to be one for the Five Elder Stars. [[DragonWithAnAgenda Though, he's content with doing his own thing]], and made it clear he'll ditch them if he found it too boring.
* [[spoiler: EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The news of Monet not responding causes him to go to Punk Hazard by himself to check out the reason why]] says a lot about his character.
** [[spoiler:He even ''apologizes'' to Vergo, calling him a companion, or, in other words, a friend. There's definitely more to him than we know, most likely having to do with his past, as Vergo said.]]
** [[spoiler:By Buffalo's account, Doflamingo's murders of Baby 5's fiancés were driven by his concern for ''her'', whom he supposedly cares for like a little sister. Considering that Baby 5 tends to accept proposals from sleazes and swindlers, his atrocities might even be seen as a case of extreme BigBrotherInstinct.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's a self-centered dick and easily one of the nastiest of the Seven Warlords of the Sea [[spoiler:especially considering that he's serving as Caesar Clown's benefactor]], but he's not the type to start fights over dreams, and he even if he is, he'd make sure he didn't lose [[spoiler:which is why he personally (Well, [[PeoplePuppets almost personally]]) beat up and dismissed Bellamy]].
** [[spoiler: He also reacted ''very'' badly to Monet's apparent death, to the point that he jumped off a window four stories high to head off to Punk Hazard. Turns out if his subordinates are reliable, he'll care for them more]].
* AFatherToHisMen: You'd never expect it from the guy, but he treats every member of his crew with love and respect, from [[spoiler:silently weeping and driven to a berserk rage over Monet's sacrifice]], to thanking [[spoiler:Vergo]] for his hard work before his (presumed) death, and forgiving Baby 5 and Buffalo when [[spoiler:he finds their still-alive decapitated heads alone on a life boat]]. He even has shown forgiveness towards [[spoiler:Law]] to an extent, willing to take him back despite his betrayal, as well as [[spoiler: Bellamy, who he accepted back into the crew after he proved that not only did he change for the better, but he also got much stronger]].
* FlatEarthAtheist: In a world that practically ''runs'' on the power of dreams and love of adventure, Doflamingo is the main proponent of an objectivist movement.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: He has yet to remove his sunglasses, but is definitely the most amoral of the Warlords, especially with Moria, Crocodile and Blackbeard who were very malevolent people.
* GogglesDoNothing: He wore goggles in addition to his sunglasses when he was younger for some reason.
* HiddenDepths: He was [[{{Understatement}} rather upset]] when [[spoiler:Monet didn't answer after being given a fatal wound by Caesar]], and is grateful for [[spoiler:Vergo]] for sacrificing himself. And the fact that [[spoiler:he went alone to check Punk Hazard out says]] a lot. Not something you'd expect from the most amoral of the Warlords. 
** [[spoiler:Going by Monet's last thoughts, there is something far more to him than we think. For one, her thoughts suggest that he, a man who plans to spearhead a movement against an era driven by dreams, aspires to be the ''Pirate King''.]]
** It's also worthy mentioning something he did after [[spoiler:Law's ultimatum.]] He not only left the Seven Warlods, but he also forfeited the throne of Dressrosa. Although the latter act was not among Law's demands, Doflamingo did it because he knew that, once he was re-branded a criminal, staying as King would mean the entirety of Dressrosa would also be considered an outlaw land, which in turn would likely result in a [[FantasticNuke Buster Call]]. This shows he cares for his homeland and/or his subjects to the point of putting it/them above himself.
* HopeSpot: As the situation in Punk Hazard escalates, he seems on the verge of losing three of his subordinates though was most distressed about losing the SMILES [[spoiler:as it's later reveal he's making them for a pirate emperor, Kaido]]. He sends two more of his subordinates to check out the matter and they arrive just as Luffy had sent Caesar flying out of the building. Doflamingo's spirits raised a bit upon hearing that since as long as he had Caesar the SMILES Devil Fruits could still be made. [[spoiler:And then said subordinates are defeated and Caesar is captured to be used as a bargaining chip against him.]] 
* TheHyena: It is very rare to see him not laughing, and even rarer to see him without a smile.
** He's also the boss of a guy called Bellamy "[[RedBaron The Hyena]]."
* IslandBase: Well, although it has yet to be shown on panel yet, he certainly has his very own private island hideaway. [[spoiler: After the time skip, His mansion, on a island called Dressrosa, is his kingdom and the hub for his criminal empire]].
** [[spoiler: However it seems its not fully under his ownership as when Law states his ultimatum, Baby 5 exclaims they'll never be allowed there again if Doflamingo steps down as a Warlord meaning it might be on the World Government's payroll.]]
** [[spoiler: Or, alternatively, that the Government are at least aware that it is a home base for Doflamingo's illicit operations and a number of nasty folk, but turn a blind eye to it because of his Warlord status. The nullification of Doflamingo's treaty with the Government, would mean that they can no longer ignore the criminal operations there]]. 
* JustBetweenYouAndMe: He seems very fond of sharing his beliefs or relevant information with opponents.
* [[spoiler: KiAttacks: He has awakened Armament Haki and Supreme King Haki.]]
* KickTheDog: Forced Atmos to murder his own crewmates, with Doflamingo cackling all the way.
* KnowledgeBroker: [[spoiler:Part of his third occupation as the underworld figure "Joker".]]
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: [[spoiler:Gives up on killing Smoker after Aokiji makes it clear he won't let that happen. He did ''try'' once, but Aokiji froze him solid (harmlessly) as a warning.]]
* LaughablyEvil: Evil alright, but at least it's fun to watch him.
* LegitimateBusinessmensSocialClub: Ran one for the World Nobles for a time. [[spoiler: It was a huge slave ring centered around selling slaves to the Nobles, so they would ignore almost everything else he did. Such as sell weapons to pirates on the side.]]
* [[spoiler:ManBehindTheMan: Behind Caesar, Vergo and Law, even though Law clearly had his own agenda from the start and Kaido is the man behind him.]]
* MeaningfulName: His namesake, Don Quixote, is an iconic dreamer, in stark contrast to Doflamingo's insistence that dreams are just that, dreams. Ironically, he does share one connection to Don Quixote. Neither of them realize that their beliefs are merely a product of their own insanity.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Apparently based on French singer [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/michel-polnareff.jpg Michel Polnareff]].
* NotSoStoic: He has been shown to be annoyed before, like during his first appearance when he was summoned to Mariejois, but never outright angry. [[spoiler: That is, until Law defeated Vergo, revealed his own plans with the special weapon [=SAD=], and boasted that he's going to ruin whatever schemes he has and his influence in the world. That is the first time he's seen visibly enraged]].
** [[spoiler: Also when he didn't hear Monet's response as she had suffered a fatal blow to the heart by Caesar Clown, prompting a very out of character moment of him rushing to Punk Hazard alone]].
** [[spoiler: Then Law gives him an ultimatum : Either step down from his position as a Warlord and face the Marine Admirals, but getting Caesar back, or staying a Warlord, but facing Kaido's wrath for not being able to provide him with any more Smiles. Forget the SAD thing, ''this'' is when he got '''really pissed off''']].
* [[spoiler:OhCrap]]: [[spoiler:When Law reveals that he's set him up so that his options involve either stepping down and getting the Admirals on his ass or staying put but losing his bargaining chip with Kaido (the absence of which will almost assuredly get him killed by an enraged Kaido), this is his initial reaction before he begins to flip out.]]
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Most of the things he does is for monetary gain, and when something is looking like it isn't going to be profitable, he [[NothingPersonal ditches it and anybody tied to it]].
* {{Outgambitted}}: For someone who is a mean player of XanatosSpeedChess, he sure as hell didn't count on Law throwing a massive SpannerInTheWorks merely by [[spoiler: one-shotting Vergo and swapping Smoker's heart with Monet's before handing it to Caesar]].
** He also didn't count on [[spoiler: Law blackmailing him. See Sadistic Choice below]].
* [[spoiler:PapaWolf]]: [[spoiler: What does he do after Monet's voice unexpectedly falls silent? Jumps out of a four storey building to fly over to Punk Hazard from Dressrosa to deal with whoever stopped her]].
* PeoplePuppets: He has the power to take control of people, and manipulate their movements while making hand gestures as if controlling a marionette's strings. Whether this is the result of a Devil Fruit or not is unknown.
* PerpetualSmiler: It's big deal when he's not smiling.
* PsychoticSmirk: What an unnerving smirk he has.
* PsychoForHire: He's the less sane member of the Warlords.
* QuirkyMinibossSquad: His old crew, and most people he employs seems to be this. [[spoiler: Even his timeskip employees are all kinds of quirky - one actively tries ''several attempts on his life'' and Doflamingo just goes about like nothing is happening]].
* RazorFloss: One of the uses of his powers. He's also fond of playing PeoplePuppets.
* RealMenWearPink: His oversized, feathery, and ''very'' pink overcoat. His tropical-styled shirt might count too. He probably wouldn't look out of place in ''MiamiVice'' if he ditched the jacket.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler: After receiving a SadisticChoice by Law, Doflamingo reaches Punk Hazard returning the decapitated heads of Baby 5 and Buffalo to their captured bodies, and ruthlessly mowing down the Marines, all while demanding the Straw Hat Pirates. He was also going to beat Smoker to death, and would have succeeded if not for Aokiji intervening.]]
* [[spoiler: RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He is, or rather was, the king of Dressrosa. He forfeited this title along with his position as a Warlord.]]
* [[spoiler: SadisticChoice: After Law captures Caesar, he gives him a ultimatum of quitting the Seven Warlords. If Doflamingo remains a Warlord, he doesn't get Caesar back, leaving him unable to create Smiles. If he can't provide Kaido with SMILE, he'll face the Emperor's wrath, and get his ass handed to him. On the other hand, if he steps down from his position as a Warlord, he gets Caesar back and can continue providing Kaido with Smiles, but the Marines, and especially the Admirals, won't stand idly by anymore. Definitely stuck between a rock and a hard place. He steps down from the Warlords and decides to take his chances with the Admirals.]] 
* SinisterShades: The shades themselves are even shaped sinisterly.
* SillyWalk: Walks with a bowl-legged waddle in his first appearance.
* SlasherSmile: More like Slasher Sneer, or Slasher Smirk.
* SocialDarwinist: During the battle of Marineford, he delivers one particularly {{Badass}} HannibalLecture about how MightMakesRight.
-->'''Doflamingo:''' ''"Pirates are evil!? The Marines are righteous?! Ha! These terms have always changed throughout the course of history! Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war will always grow up with different values! Therefore, those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right! Justice will prevail, you say!? ''Damn right'' it will! And that's because whoever wins this war becomes justice!''"
* TheSociopath: Has incredible charisma and manipulative skills, but has no concern for anyone if they don't prove to be profitable.
* WouldHurtAChild: While it's unknown whether or not he would do this personally, [[spoiler:he did facilitate the kidnapping of many children for Caesar Clown's experiments, and then had Vergo cover them up]].
* XanatosSpeedChess: [[spoiler: He didn't lose his cool even when Caesar Clown, Vergo and Caesar were defeated. He instead simply ordered Monet to blow up the island after Baby 5 and Buffalo retrieved Caesar. When he found out that the island didn't blow up, he decided to go there himself. He only started to lose his cool when he learned that the Straw Hats and Law managed to leave the island with Caesar in their hands before he reached Punk Hazard.]]
* YouHaveFailedMe: To [[AssholeVictim Bellamy]].

[[folder:Gekko Moriah]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Moriah_8849.png
-->"Straw Hat... Ughah!... Then you go see for yourself... What a real nightmare is...! In the New World!"

->Voiced by: KatsuhisaHouki (JP)

The fifth of the Seven Warlords to be formally introduced. Gekko Moriah resides on a massive island/ship known as Thriller Bark, where he kidnaps unsuspecting travelers and uses the power of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit (''Kage Kage no Mi'') to strip them of their shadows and utilizes them to raise an army of zombies. He believes the undead to be superior to the living, as they can just be replaced when destroyed and do not possess souls. This way of thinking is due to his entire crew being wiped out by the Emperor Kaidou some time in the past.

His former bouny was 320,000,000 berries.
