What would happen if Doflamingo's Fakes touches water? Are they proofed
against water?

In the Chapter 752, Doflamingo appears as a "Fake" Doflamingo

Are Doflamingo's Fakes waterproof?


We see in the manga Devil's Fruit powers emanations that falls in the see,
have effect and then disappear much or less slowly. The string clone'd
encounter the same end in the water.

At least for Paramacia the sea only affects the user and not the effects of
the fruit. Example: Luffy's neck was still stretchable after being submerged
in water during the Arlong Arc, while Luffy himself was not able to move.
Vander Decken IX's tracking ability worked even while it went underwater, as
well as Whitebeard's earthquake fruit got transmuted through the sea to the
ocean floor.

So as long as Doflamingo's not in the water himself his powers or extension
thereof shouldnt be affected.

@Rajven What is the basis for this? His clone could have ended due to the
attack it sustained from the other revolters.

There are three different types of
[Paramecia](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Paramecia), and Doflamingo seems to
be the third type. He can produce strings, rather than his body being made of
strings. We have clearly see him get hurt and bleed and additionally have we
seen strings separated from his body, still being intact (eg: birdcage). The
strings that he produces come out of his body and are thus not part of it any
more. He can manipulate their shape and structure, and he can use his parasite
technique to make them move, but they are just strings and nothing more.

Proof that they are indeed separate and do not affect him, has been given in
chapter 787.

On a sidenote, it seems that this effect happens with every paramecia that
produces things, except for Robin. I think, Robin **would** be affected if her
hands touch the sea(stone). I'm basing this on the fact that she could be
turned into a doll, by touching one of her _limbs_ , while similarly it does
not seem like Doflamgino would be turned into a doll if his cage or clone was
touched.
