I gotta know the chances of this happening lol should I go get a lottery ticket?

Swear to god it happens every time

This would be insane levels of foreshadowing. Also the egg kinda has the same dots as imu but they are swapped to be reversed colors (most likely). As I said i dont really like the bird/parrot theory but if he does turn out to he a bird, i hope its a South bird for the sole reason of "this is why you don't skip skypeia". Also imu having bird wings instead of demon wings is an intriguing point that the theory brings up

When we think about the best father figures in One Piece, im pretty sure a lot of people will land on Kuma, and certainly, even in my own opinion, Kuma is probably the best dad, but don't let that over shadow one of who i believe could be in the top 5 best dads in One Piece and that is none other than Donquixote Homing.

We know that Doflamingo has a lot of knowledge of the holy land and its greatest secret, Imu. We get a pretty big hint at that when he tells Geko Moria, "Someone even higher up." But why would Doflamingo even know about Imu and the best kept secret of the holy land when it seems like other celestial dragons have no idea that Imu existed? Well, that's because I believe that Imu was "grooming" Doflamingo in a way. And I think it has to do with doffy having heterochromia. Well, let's say he used to have heterochromia.

Ever since Doflamingo was a boy, we have always seen him with his signature glasses. Hes never been drawn in a panel without them, I believe this is oda using them to hide that doffy had heterochromia. And because doffy had it, imu took an extreme interest in doffy while he was a young boy. "Well, if he had Gunko with him this whole time, why would he need Doffy?" A valid question. With it seeming like heterochromia being so rare and the fact that Groh had them but didnt awaken them himself, i would imagine Imu would try to keep anyone close to him that had the eyes and chance to awaken them. So this brings us back to Imu, maybe, taking doffy and teaching him, corrupting him, promising him power and things in the future that only Imu could deliver on.

So how does this tie into Homing? I think Homing caught wind of what was going on. I don't think Homing knew anything about Imu, but I think he sensed a change in Doflamingo and couldn't quite figure out where it was coming from but deduced that if he left the holy land, and change their life style, and made ONE huge change that his son might get back to being the way doffy was before being corrupted. The change was taking out one of Doflamingos' eyes and destroying his chance to awaken the heterochromia powers. In the panel where we see Doflamingo shoot his dad, it can be read as kind of like "we dont have slaves or status, so you stole my power" but what if, with a little creativity, we can read that Doflamingo was mad about his dad taking his eye and his chance at all the power that was promised to him by Imu. That could also drive him mad enough to kill his dad, the dad that gave up wealth, power and status to protect his son from the clutches of Imu, he would rather be poor and powerless than to let Doffy be further corrupted.

But after Doflamingo killed his father I think he did try to return to Imu but Imu had rejected him because his eye was removed or destroyed and Imu was taking back all the things he had promised Doflamingo, UNLESS Doffy could provide Imu with two things. The Ope-Ope and the death of Geko Moria. This would be why Doffy was made a warlord, so he could still be close to Moria at times. I think Imu made Doffy believe that the only way his eye could be restored was if the user of the Ope-Ope or Imu with the Ope-Ope repaired it.

So now that we have visited this, we can also visit some more clues as to maybe Doffy having/had heterochromia.

We are first introduced to the Donquixote pirates on a heterocromic island. Of course Jaya isnt complete at the moment cuz if part of the island being blown into the sky but if you look at a map of old Jaya, the island that Noland would have visited, u would see that the island has one golden eye(the golden city of Shandora) and one blue eye(the ocean). Another thing that can tie it into a clue for Doffy is that you could say one of the eyes is missing or lost as the ocean is the placeholder for the eye. There is nothing there, but watery nothingness. And one of my favorite hints at this is Doffy's jolly roger itself with the slash through one eye, the same eye of Jaya that would be the ocean, the same left eye as many other characters in the story that have scars or markings on/through them.

This, of course, is a working theory. im always looking for ways to improve them or make them more concise. Thanks for reading.

On a final note, have you ever noticed a flamingo's eyes are yellow? Did u know that baby flamingos' eyes are grey and then turn yellow as they get older? It's funny how in the sbs oda just did(115, i think) he just confirmed imus eyes as yellow. Interesting stuff.

With the heterochromia topic coming about in the previous chapters, I'd like to point out that this is something that oda has been showing us for a long, long time, probably close to 20 years. It just makes me appreciate Oda's writing and for shadowing on just how important some things are. We see the heterochromia now with Gunko and the gods knight Manmayer Groh, but we also saw it with Cavendish and Hakuba, but what if I told you it went back long before Dressrosa. The first instance of heterochromia went all the way back to the full map of Jaya/Skypeia. The map itself has heterochromia, one golden eye, and one blue eye! Which is awesome to think that oda has been teasing the importance of heterochromia eyes all the way back then. I'm have no idea what's in-store for the importance of these, but it's amazing to see that it's something that's been on Odas' mind for so long
