Ahm... no. "romanticism of piracy" would mean that Doflamingo shows up and wreaks havoc until someone gives him a crown. That's a traditional pirate for you. But that wasn't the case. Doflamingo used his power to make the king wreak havoc and then presented himself as a hero. No romanticism here, MoM.
