Mr_Deadalus
That would have been cool if he didn't already have conquers haki. It's pretty silly to have him realize what's needed to achieve conquers haki and be a king while already being able to use it. It would have been way cooler if, with that realization, he was then able to awaken conquers haki. I think the part that's really dragging this novel down is writing yourself into corners where you're then forced to somehow write your way out of it, which always turns out feeling very phoned in.
Mr_Deadalus:Really? These were some of my favorite chapters in the novel. The moment where Doflamingo lets go of his inhibitions and realizes the will required to be a conqueror rasied goosebumps for me. Perhaps I've made the chapters lose some of their meaning in an attempt to pursue better grammar. I'll try to work on that.
