User blog comment:The ASL Pirates/Will Doflamingo Die?/@comment-24850639-20150526205321

Law's original plan was disable SMILE, and leave Doffy to Kaido to deal with. However, he realized that there were "problems" with his plan.

PROBLEM: SMILE is arguably the Yonko's most important asset in terms of his overall combat strength. Once he finds out that he's lost it, he will logically connect the dots and realize the Doffy isn't the only person responsible here. Even if it was in Doffy's country, whoever did this did it to try to cripple him specifically. He's not going to take too kindly to that. So whether they kill or don't kill Doflamingo, Kaido will still target the Heart-SH Alliance eventually if not for what they did to SMILE, then definitely whatever the next phase of the plan might be.

So Kaido is gonna be royally pissed either way, but it makes sense to give him one less Chess Piece to use against them by killing Doffy, or making sure that he can no longer join the fray through other means (jail, capture, separating body parts like Vergo, etc)Thats prob why Law decided to change his mind about it. I don't think Law or Luffy or another of the pirates will do it however, I think it will either be Kaido or the Navy. Maynard said they had enough of a case against Mingo now to lock him up good, so I can see that happening. Certainly for Issho to make his case against abolishing the Shichibukai, but most importantly detention purposes for what he knows. I thought they'd execute him, but if they make a public execution he can easily just shout out loud all the shit they don't want him telling about the WG. If they send him to Impel Down, they can dispose of him quietly there. Or he can escape, with his Shichibukai status now removed, and on hunt by the Marines. This prob wouldn't be much of a problem, until this chase led to him getting caught by Kaido, then game over. Idk, thats how I'd like to see this turn out, but I do think he has to die. If there's anything good of him being alive, its him using what he knows about the WG to aid Luffy or Law or some point down the line. But Doffy turning into a situational ally is just hard for me to fathom at this point. I can't imagine Luffy having ANOTHER reason to break into Impel Down.
