Yeah I no doubt agree with that. On top of how the action of defeating Doflamingo would shake up the entire world tremendously and creating a tsunami as you've pointed out, another even which would certainly shake up the world government after the events of Dressrossa is the fact that the Strawhats will gain an unprecedeted amount of allies.

If Oda goes big, this arc can literally be the major turning point in how the Strawhats function as a significant and reputable pirate crew in the New World. Not only would they have taken down the warlord, kingpin, monarch and dragon as you've mentioned, the strawhats would have effectively united several different nations AND pirate crews in a single event. Better still, there are plenty of marine around to witness the entire events.

This will definitely be tremendously huge. Luffy might even start planting his flag around and declaring countries as his territory as the Yonkou have been doing, much like his earlier intentions of making Fishmen island his territory.

Just thinking about all these possiblities and how Oda built them all up just sends shudders down my spine.

Anyway, my point of ending the fight with Diamante in the way I proposed was in no way an intention to belittle the efforts of taking down the Donquixote pirates. Of course the fights were extended for good reason. This is an incredible feat, and deserves the extended efforts. Doflamingo himself is well aware that he cannot underestimate Luffy the way others have. I'm perfectly happy with how the fights are being extended. That being said, this arc IS huge. This is the first time the strawhats has received numerous concerted assistance from multiple factions of different people. Although they've always had a little bit of extra help (eg Enis Lobby) most of the heavy duty work tends to be accomplished by the strawhat members themselves. This is the first time multiple separate big names have come together, uniting under the strawhat banner to take down a common foe. In fact, at the moment, half the members of the Strawhats are not even involved in the actual fights.

That in itself illustrates the magnitude of Doflamingo as an opponent. That would also illustrate the fear the marines have mentioned that they have towards Luffy's 'power' of bringing people together. This aftermath of this arc would demonstrate this 'ability' of his to the greatest extent yet.
