I think this is not so much a matter of Dofla's men being weak as much as the Strawhat's being formidable. To me it seems too early still (since their time skip boost) for them to easily be overwhelmed. From this point, the Strawhats will always be on par in terms of individual strength-- being "new world" level. Even the strongest characters are not ones that could smash Luffy/zoro/Sanji instantly, just because of how they've interacted with admirals until now.Great chapter in general. Also, those who say that Dofla's past and character are shallow, hold your horses, we have only seen the beginning of his flashback. Very disappointed with Dofla's strongest men though, all of Diamante, Pica, and Trevol have been huge let downs so far, despite Pica's and Diamante's early hype.
It's not only the SHs that made the officers look weak though, Law made a fool out of Trevol too. I mean come on, the officers needed some hype outside of throwing ships around (Trevol), or looking cool in the shadows (Diamante).I think this is not so much a matter of Dofla's men being weak as much as the Strawhat's being formidable.

they already showed that. it's the heartswapping power from ceasar arc"The ability to transplant even personalities..."
Wait what the hell since when--
The hell is Oda planning now
Seastone handcuffs don't negate any DF ability. What they do is prevent the user from activating those abilities. Paramecias like Luffy don't get their bodies reverted to their normal state, while Logias like Ace can't turn into their element. So no seastone handcuffs wouldn't affect a lingering effect from a DF.I just thought of something that is a bit crazy, now assuming the user of the Op Op no Mi casts "Eternal Youth" onto say a person, What would happen to the person if they wore seastone handcuffs, would they age? Would they lose the power casted onto them? This is something that I am extremely curious to find out about. Also If Doflamingo did infact eat the Op Op no Mi, he would have become extremely powerful, the Ito Ito no Mi is no laughable Devil Fruit, its extraordinary, the versatility of that Devil Fruit is great, however, the Op Op no Mi would make Doflamingo virtually unstoppable. Also another thing to consider, if the Op Op no Mi grants Eternal Youth, surely there must be a way to reverse the effects, maybe by the other Op Op no Mi user right?
I think there's some sentient being (human, fishman, dwarf etc) who is a living key to some weapon, and Doflamingo wanted Law's fruit so he could transplant himself into the key's body.I'm less interested in the Ope Ope no mi's eternal life giving power and more interested in how that specific devil fruit is apparently a key cog in using the "secret" the tenryubito have locked away.

Does it just mean he'd be able to transplant personalities of the person who could use it?
"World-shaking secrets" in op tend to imply either the ancient weapons or something else related to the lost country and the void century, so in terms of OP overall story I'm far more interested in that than eternal life :P
He let himself go lmaoThe most interesting flashback so far in OP.
Señor Pink is so señor back then. What the hell happened to him?
Loving/not-loving these flashback-to-make-you-love-after-the-fact flashbacks. *stares at Ace/Luffy/Sabo flash.I don't think that Teach is a supernova.
This chapter had very nice little details, such as the cute kid Baby 5 hanging from DD's feet and doing all sorts of cute stuff, Delinger riding a canon that is shooting at the Navy at the age of 1, and Diamante taking a selfie while the family is robbing a safe. In general, the interactions between the young DD family are awesome, as is the DD family itself.
And don't get me started on Corazon, i love this guy already!
The flashback is getting better and better, and Law's personality and a ton of other things, such as Baby 5 being scared of Law's stare, are making much more sense now, which makes the present storyline much more enjoyable and interesting. This arc will be getting way better after the flashbacks are over, and hopefully we will be able to get some info on what the D means, as the timing feels right.
