His bounty before he became a member of the Shichibukai was Beli340,000,000. Although he appeared in the first half of the series frequently, he did not play much of a role until the second half. He is the main antagonist of the Dressrosa Arc and one of the central antagonists of the Pirate Alliance Saga.
Appearance:
Doflamingo is a very tall (standing at 10', and as a comparison taller than Kuzan as shown in their confrontation), blond-haired, very lean and muscular man with tan skin who is thin for his height. He generally dresses in flamboyant clothes. In reference to his animal theme, the flamingo, his clothes are brightly colored, with his bright pink feather coat most distinctly of all. Doflamingo sports a pair of curved, thin white sunglasses, which appear to serve as his eyesight with red or purple lenses. He also walks with an odd, bow-legged waddle (though he does not always walk like this), which is also a reference to his animal theme.
Twenty-four years ago, his hair was longer than it is currently, he had two earrings on his left ear, and he sported a pair of goggles that he wore on his forehead. In addition, he also wore sunglasses similar to the ones he wears today, but they had a different temple design.
He has a white shirt with red stripes, a green belt, and orange pants with white stripes. He also wears black dress shoes that are somewhat pointed. Originally in the anime, Doflamingo had a red shirt with black stripes, a purple belt, and black pants with red stripes. However, when he reappeared during the events of Sabaody, his color scheme was switched to its manga depiction, with the exception of his glasses. In the manga, he has orange-tinted glasses, while in the anime (pre-timeskip) he has purple-tinted ones. He is also seen often, if not always, smiling.
Two years after the war, Doflamingo's outfit is somewhat less elaborate, wearing a plain, open shirt that has small, dark Jolly Rogers as cufflinks, a different belt, and pink striped pants. However, he still wears his trademark sunglasses which have changed from purple to red lenses and dress shoes. Post-timeskip, he drapes his feathered coat on his shoulders instead of leaving his arms in the sleeves, similar to many high ranking Marines and pirates alike. He also now wears a golden hoop earring on each ear.
In SBS Volume 63 Oda drew the Shichibukai as children. Doflamingo is seen already wearing his trademark sunglasses and happily smoking a cigarette. He is wearing a low neck button up shirt with black striped pants, and his hair and clothes are messy and unkempt. He is sitting in a tattered chair near palm trees.
Personality:
Like many other characters he has a unique laugh, being "Fuffuffuffuffuffuffu", or in characterized English, "Heh heh heh heh". Interestingly, when he laughs his mouth is wide open.
Doflamingo is one of the most arrogant and carefree characters in the series. He seems to have a penchant for dramatic phrasing, as well as a habit of exaggerated posing when giving declarations. He also appears to fear nothing and no one, as he openly taunts Fleet Admiral Sengoku, sits on the table during the Shichibukai meetings and shows only gleeful interest at the thought of warring with Whitebeard.
While he appears to regard those weaker than him as mere pawns rather than crewmates, he does still have some pride and a small sense of honor for his flag and despises the idea of those failing while using it. Though he could not care less for the weaker people, he is not above pointing out their flaws. Despite his apathy for the weak, he often seems to make alliances with promising rookies. He adopted Trafalgar Law, Vergo and Bellamy into his crew and apparently did it very early on their journeys, and treated Law and Baby 5 as though they were his younger siblings; upon Bellamy falling out of his expected standards, Doflamingo discarded him after torturing him first.
However, he does have an extremely strong sense of loyalty and compassion to the subordinates who had been with him for a long time, as he expressed remorse when he had to discard Monet and Vergo, felt disappointment when Law betrayed him, and went out of his way to destroy eight towns simply to protect Baby 5 from her personality flaws. This is also displayed by his anger when Trafalgar Law took his subordinate Jora hostage. Despite his loyalty, compassion and devotion to his crew which itself is mutual, he can still be annoyed by their antics; such as Trébol being too close while chatting with him, as evidenced by his irritated frown.
History:
Ironically, despite his familial attachment to his crew, Doflamingo ruthlessly murdered his father and brother for reasons unknown.
Later, when Luffy and Law infiltrated the palace, Doflamingo prepared for a confrontation as they stood in front of him. Doflamingo expressed his disappointment over how Luffy and Law had done such detrimental actions to his works, as well as expressing disappointment over Bellamy's failure. Luffy attacked Doflamingo with his foot, but the latter used Bellamy as a shield. He then attacked Law with a string clone and took control of Bellamy to attack Luffy. However, Luffy aimed an attack at Law. Doflamingo was at first confused, but he realized too late what was going on when Law used Room to switch their places, resulting in him getting hit in the midsection by Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Red Hawk.
As he recovered from the attack, Doflamingo defended Trebol from Law's attack and used a move called Fulbright to incapacitate Law. After knocking down Law, Doflamingo proceeded to attack Luffy with a Haki-imbued kick. He then used his powers to bind Luffy's arms and then have Bellamy slash him. Doflamingo then told them about how he hates being looked down upon and revealed to everyone his former status as a World Noble. He went on, explaining to them about his past and how he would destroy the world the World Nobles control.
He then proceeded to send his string clone and Bellamy after Luffy, while he confronted Law. When Law asked him why he was able to summon CP-0 despite being exiled from the World Nobles, Doflamingo revealed that he had knowledge of a secret National Treasure. Since the World Nobles could not kill him, they became cooperative. Doflamingo then explained that Law's Ope Ope no Mi had the power to give someone eternal youth at the cost of the user's life. As he and Law clashed, Doflamingo revealed that he never wanted Law to have the fruit in the first place and reminded Law that he had taught him multiple forms of combat. He then expressed his anger as Law declared that he would use the fruit's power to end him and his crew.
As the battle intensified, Law revealed that he has the letter "D" in his name, much to Doflamingo's shock. Doflamingo continued with his attack while dismissing the saying of "D" being God's natural enemy as superstition. Law eventually found an opening and injured Doflamingo with Injection Shot.
Law continued to send a barrage of attacks at Doflamingo and attempted to use "Mes" on him. However, Doflamingo grabbed Law's arm and stopped him, using the opportunity to taunt Law. Doflamingo then used his string powers to create a saw on his leg and used it to sever Law's right arm. As Law lay on the ground in pain, Doflamingo prepared to kill Law, saying that a lead bullet is the most fitting end for him. Before Doflamingo could fire though, Luffy distracted Doflamingo by destroying the string clone by punching it though the ceiling onto the level where Doflamingo and Law are.
After Luffy defeated Bellamy and yelled out Doflamingo's name in anguish, Doflamingo laughed, saying that Luffy is in for a shock once he sees Law's dead body.
