oflamingo ate the Ito Ito no Mi which was given to him by Trebol, granting him the ability to create and manipulate strings.[97] He usually moves his fingers accordingly to bend them as he pleases for either manipulating people like puppets or bifurcating his targets. The strings are extremely thin and some may even be invisible, making it almost impossible to notice and avoid them. He has shown himself capable of controlling more than one person at the same time without apparent effort.

Using his "Parasite" move, he can make his victims move to his will by moving his fingers accordingly. Doflamingo mainly uses this power to force comrades to fight (and even kill) each other, while Doflamingo himself sits at the sidelines and watches. Every one of his victims being controlled was unable to resist his powers and therefore was rendered completely helpless. This ability is even powerful enough to stop the physically strong "Diamond" Jozu in his tracks, preventing him from further attacking Crocodile.[78]

Doflamingo Dices Meteorite

Doflamingo uses his strings against a meteorite.

The strings can also be used for cutting, allowing Doflamingo to effortlessly slice off body parts and destroy weapons. He managed to cleanly sever Oars Jr.'s right leg in one swift motion [40] and decapitated Crocodile, though Crocodile's powers only made this a nuisance (due to them not being imbued with Busoshoku Haki).[80] When Issho brought down a meteorite on Green Bit, he crossed his strings to form a net, and sliced the meteorite into small pieces to protect himself from harm.[71] As a further testament of his strength with his fruit, one of his clones was able to easily slice through the back of Bobby Funk (controlled by Kelly).[101] Bobby's body had earlier proven impervious to an axe coated in Haki.[102]

He can also glide or fly in midair by attaching his strings to clouds, creating a "Sky Path", as seen when he did so to cross over the seas to reach Punk Hazard from Dressrosa.[55][42][97] Currently the only known limitation of his abilities is that he cannot float where there are no clouds, meaning that he loses his ability to fly.[97]

In the case of an emergency, Doflamingo can use strings to repair his internal organs as a crude way to staunch the worst effects, though it is not considered actual healing or regeneration.[64]

Doflamingo's mastery of his Devil Fruit is so advanced that he was able to awaken his powers, being able to even turn his surroundings into string.[103] The great extent of his Devil Fruit abilities led the Marines to wrap him in Seastone shackles upon his arrest, even though a single pair of handcuffs can neutralize Devil Fruit powers.[17]
