"So, King Riku and his two daughters are all on Cake Island now?" Doflamingo asked with his arms folded and a frown on his face.
After hearing the whole story, Doflamingo could only sigh at how disaster-ridden Dressrosa was. King Riku's family had truly suffered eight lifetimes' worth of bad luck. After getting rid of him, they had now run into trouble with the Big Mom Pirates instead.
Then, he asked the question he cared about most.
"That's right. Mama should still be waiting for your answer." Perospero nodded and looked at Doflamingo.
Doflamingo rolled his eyes, looking at Perospero as though he were an idiot. "Join the Big Mom Pirates? Do you really think I'd agree to that?"
Honestly, even if he no longer worked for the Marines and had to choose a pirate crew to join, Doflamingo would rather join the Beasts Pirates or the Whitebeard Pirates than the Big Mom Pirates.
The damn Big Mom Pirates were a family-based pirate crew. Anyone else who joined could at most become an ordinary officer, and might even be ostracized by Big Mom's children. He would have to have his brain caught in a door to join a crew like that.
At least joining either of those other two crews gave him something to hope for. Maybe one day he could outlast Whitebeard until the old man died, or beat Kaido into the ground and become the boss himself. If he joined the Big Mom Pirates, he would never become part of the core no matter how long he lived.

"Fufufufufu—ah, ptooey, there I go making that weird laugh again." Doflamingo chuckled before continuing.
"Don't worry.
