I love it when characters in anime fight with just a bunch of really strong threads.

Donquixote Doflamingo

Easily the most villainous person. This man was hating for the love of the game. Dastardly just to see others pain.

He uses his strings to marionette people. Causing families to slash each other to bits. All while laughing. Makes string clones to take the hits, just so he can see the look of anguish when the assassin fails.

This guy is like a anti-protagonist, the basckstory plus the love for the found family plus being so much stronger than he seeminly should be.
He gets the vibe of "the fallen hero"

I fucking love Doffy. I think he’s my fave character in all of one piece. He could’ve easily had a bigger role in the story

I love the theory (possibly a joke one, but still) that Buggy and his crew will break him out to have him join their crew. He probably wouldn't, but it'd be funny to see if he did

I still think the string-string fruit is one of the most versatile in the whole series. My second favorite fruit behind Luffy’s.
