Wait, was that you endorsing me, or the podcast guys? Either way, yeah, the ending left a lot to be desired. I was really hoping Doffy would still at least be coherent at the end.But yeah, the point about punishing children is well made. It goes back to what Garp and Roger said about Ace, and how an unborn child shouldn't have to bear the sins of his father. Are you sure about the Trebol thing? From what I recall, Doffy met Trebol after he and Roci struck out on their own. I didn't see the scene with Homing as Doffy exerting himself over him. I saw it as Homing realizing the mistake he made of trying to live like a human with his family and accepting his death by his son's hand as, and no pun intended, divine punishment for his choices. It wouldn't surprise me too much if Doffy somehow managed to find a gun. Heck, Homing might have even kept one. Other than that, I completely agree that Trebol and the other execs completely sealed Doffy's fate by justifying his views on his whole ordeal. That was my take on it.

Shameless plug, I plan to write a conclusion to the Smiling Man series just as soon as we see Doffy in his death throes, ie going completely bat-shit insane, mental breakdown style. Or really whenever we see him next.
