The requirements for acquiring conquers haki are not ambition and charisma that's ridiculous. If it was, there would be many more conquer haki users. Will is the central source of haki in One Piece. You can't have haki without will, and you can't have conquers haki without the will for it. Doflamingo definitely had a goal and definitely thought he would succeed no matter what. Also, that "next step" you talk about w Luffy and Kaido is conquers infusion. I also think that if that's all it takes to reach that "next step," the author really failed to keep power progression reasonable. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's particularly awful, and i will continue reading at least for a while it just feels very phoned in and artificial to me.
Mr_Deadalus:I think you might be misunderstanding what I mean by the will of a conqueror. Will isn't whats required to actually awaken Conqueror's Haki - that only requires ambition and charisma, both of which even the canon Doflamingo had. The will of a conqueror is more of an unyielding confidence that you will succeed beyond all odds, an unshakeable dream. The original Doflamingo never had a grand dream, he was content to watch the tide of the times and be the middleman. He had Conqueror's Haki but not the will of a conqueror. This new Doflamingo has the will - he wants to go even beyond pirate king, and be king of the world, standing above even the world government. He needed an event to sublimate this will, and to reach an even higher form as a conqueror, the level that Luffy, Kaido and the others are at, and the original Doflamingo never achieved. This, being faced with the might of the heroes of the sea that he would need to defeat, served as exactly that, and I think the author of the fic did that pretty well. Maybe I'm reading too much into it because I'm too invested in the story, but that's what I see it as.
