+1...based on the story Ross is fully aware of Duffy's character, yet he still choose to support him, them fighting will be out of character and a lot of readers will probably stop reading because the story will be cliche, at least in my opinion..this story is unique because there's a few fics where the main character support someone, it is always the other way around, the built up of the brotherly bond between them will be wasted, Ross respects Doffy's wishes and so does he...
Option 1 but with the added point of Ross forming his own small group of elites that fully support him and not doffy, because Ross is also a conqueror so he needs to show that he can lead as well and not be looked down when he’s that strong. Kinda like a shadow king to Doffy who is the centre of attention atm.
honestly i love the story so far and dont really see the brothers coming into conflict with eachother theyve built a strong bond of trust, donflamingo gave up the rumble rumble fruit for ross, he trusted and wholeheartedly believed that ross was not dead and no matter what ross would come for him he never waivered even when they showed him ross heart. so i believe the brothers have trust and brotherly affection because they always watching their backs and supporting eachother. if anything doffy could step down and be like, ross you have the strength best interest of our family youve always been the one leading us we got this far and this strong because of you. doffy can become his brothers enforcer a shield or a sword when ross needs it
2... I cannot see this... I think Ross would not only die before betraying his brother but doffy would never betraying Ross at this point simply because he's smart enough to see which side his bread is buttered. He's smart enough to compromise a little in order to keep Ross on side. After all, weapon matinance is essential to keep it sharp, motivated and on target and if he has to curb his instincts a little too keep that weapon he's smart enough to do so so option 1 please
I chose option 1 because option the other options are out of character and if you are going kill doffy your going to lose some importent people becasue he is going to go down swinging and he will take down or wound badly enough that Ross or another family member will kill in that instant and anything less then yonko commander or vice admrial can take him and going by what im reading he is stronger then his manga/anime counterparts also just going by what i read from other readers you will lose quit a few of them to unless you want to roll the dice and see
