Doflamingo: My Brother Is Sengoku's Son-So What Does That Make Me?

Doflamingo's mind was in turmoil. He considered himself a worldly man who had experienced countless conspiracies and schemes in the Underworld since childhood. What kind of scene hadn't he seen?

But now he really wants to say, "I've never seen anything like this before! What the hell is going on?!"

Doflamingo clutched his temple, feeling his eye pressure rise considerably, and gestured, "Wait, wait a minute, let me sort out this..."

After saying that, Doflamingo first pointed at Ortolan: "You're Marines, right?"

Ortolan glanced at Doflamingo without saying a word. How could a Marine Admiral be fake?

Doflamingo didn't expect Ortolan to answer, and pointed to Rosinante: "He's also Marines..."

Rosinante snorted coldly and didn't reply.

Doflamingo then pointed to himself. "But I'm Marines too! So what's going on here?"

Upon hearing Doflamingo's words, Rosinante angrily retorted, "What kind of Marines are you? You evil bastard..."

"Shut up! What are you, a Commander, babbling at me for? I'm a registered rear Rear Admiral in the Marines's Second Division! And I'm also the head of the Intelligence Department, your superior!" Doflamingo unleashed a torrent of abuse on Rosinante!

Rosinante was stunned by Doflamingo's words, staring blankly at him for a moment, then at Ortolan Doflamingo, as if wanting to ask this real Admiral for confirmation.

Seeing Rosinante's bewildered expression, Ortolan scratched his head, sighed slightly with a hint of helplessness, and said, "Originally, with your status, you weren't qualified to know these classified matters, but now that things have come to this point, we can no longer hide it from you... Commander Rosinante, your brother, Donquixote Doflamingo, is indeed Marines. Back in 1498 of the Marine Era, in Loguetown, he voluntarily swore an oath to join our Marines. At that time, he was granted the rank of Marine Colonel and accepted a long-term secret mission to infiltrate the Underworld and pirate camps. He was promoted twice for meritorious service in 1500 and 1502 of the Marine Era, and now he is a registered Rear Admiral in the Marines Intelligence Department..."

"Huh?" Rosinante was stunned and could only manage a groan, but judging from his response, he still seemed unable to accept reality.

No, how did Doflamingo, such a wicked and evil guy, become Marines?

And his rank is so high!

I've been in the Marines for so many years and I'm only a lieutenant Commander, while he's already Rear Admiral!?

Rosinante's mind was just as confused as Doflamingo's at this moment. In his haste, he questioned Yu again, "That's not right. If he's Marines, then why would the Fleet Admiral agree to let me infiltrate the Donquixote Family? And this mission was even assigned by the Intelligence Department!?"

Doflamingo also looked at Ortolan and said, "Yes, Admiral, why did you arrange for a Commander to infiltrate my position as a Rear Admiral?"

Ortolan, feeling both helpless and somewhat embarrassed, said, "It wasn't back then... cough, you hadn't truly gained the trust of Sengoku Marines yet, had you? The then- Admiral Sengoku suspected you might have ulterior motives, so he decided to plant a spy next to you to see if you truly wanted to join the Marines's righteous family..."

Doflamingo had finally realized what was going on. That made sense. Although he told Rosinante that he had joined the Marines in 1498, how could he not know the truth?

He was never added to my naval file. His own Marines file was only hastily placed there after he had the 'Admiral Tea Party' with Ortolan and the others.

Thinking back to the timing of Rosinante's return to the family, it seems to make sense. At that time, he had only recently joined Ortolan's forces, and the Marines didn't trust him, so it seemed reasonable for them to send someone to infiltrate.

"But what about after that?" This was what Doflamingo found most puzzling.

He has made outstanding contributions to the Marines. Ortolan even entrusted him with the task of establishing the Sea Police Force. This level of trust is absolutely high! Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense!

Then why let Rosinante continue to infiltrate your ranks?

Hearing Doflamingo's question with a hint of doubt, Ortolan hesitated for a moment, glanced at Rosinante, and then said somewhat embarrassedly, "Well, to be honest... I think it was Fleet Admiral Sengoku who thought that having Rosinante infiltrate your side would make it easier for him to gain experience and merits, so that when he returns to the headquarters, he can use these merits to get promoted and receive a raise... At that time, you're one of us, so even if Rosinante accidentally exposes his identity, it won't cause any crisis, and his safety can be guaranteed. So in the end, Fleet Admiral Sengoku didn't reveal anything about your situation and continued to have Rosinante infiltrate your side."

To be honest, Ortolan had never communicated with Sengoku about Rosinante's infiltration of Doflamingo's inner circle, so he wasn't quite sure what Sengoku was thinking.

This reason is his guess, and based on his understanding of the Sengoku period, it is very likely that this is the case!

Doflamingo scratched his hair furiously. He felt that Ortolan's words made sense and seemed to make no mistake, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there were some inconsistencies in the whole story.

This incongruous place...

Suddenly, Doflamingo realized what was amiss!

Why did Sengoku, as the Fleet Admiral of the Marines, take such good care of Rosinante, a mere Marine Lieutenant Colonel?

They were worried about his undercover safety, and tried every means to boost his seniority and merits, and went to great lengths to arrange a smooth road to promotion and salary increase for him.

Is this reasonable?

Is it just because Rosinante is his brother?

That's impossible. If that were the reason, why didn't Sengoku, the Marines leader, arrange it for Doflamingo?

Could it be because of Rosinante's status as Celestial Dragons?

This doesn't make sense! Mary Geoise doesn't accept this, and Sengoku doesn't seem like a spineless person trying to curry favor with the Mary Geoise's Marines leaders in this way!?

Could he possibly be Rosinante's father?

They're taking such good care of Rosinante!?

Confused, Doflamingo asked directly, "This doesn't make sense, does it? Why is Fleet Admiral Sengoku treating Rosinante so well? He's just a Marine Lieutenant Colonel. There are plenty of people like him in the Marines. The Intelligence Department has so many people infiltrating in so many dangerous places, and we haven't seen the Marines treat him like this..."

After Doflamingo voiced his doubts, Ortolan looked at Rosinante, then patted Doflamingo on the shoulder and said, "Ahem... I hadn't joined the Marines yet back then, so I don't know the specifics, but the truth is... Rosinante's private identity was that of Fleet Admiral Sengoku's adopted son... And as you know, Fleet Admiral Sengoku dedicated his entire life to the Marines and justice, working diligently and conscientiously, and never married, so he treated Rosinante like his own son. Do you understand now?"

This news completely stunned Doflamingo!

Donquixote Rosinante is the son of Sengoku Fleet Admiral Sengoku. I am Rosinante's older brother. So, may I ask, what am I to Fleet Admiral Sengoku?

So, without my knowledge, Sengoku became my father?!

"He's my own brother, and he's the son of the Fleet Admiral Sengoku, so what about me!?" Doflamingo looked at Ortolan with a somewhat distraught expression.

"Dover, so many people would love to have a backer like that but can't find one. You should be happy now. When you take over the headquarters in the future, if you're a little sweet-talking, you can call him 'Dad' or something. With your achievements and Rosinante's status, he definitely won't disown you!" Ortolan patted Doflamingo on the shoulder and said earnestly.

Why should a real man worry about not having a father?

Seeing that Doflamingo seemed unable to accept this shocking reality, Ortolan quickly changed the subject, no longer discussing their relationship of recognizing each other as fathers, and let them calm down first!

"Alright, alright, now's not the time to discuss who's whose father. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, let's discuss how to report this situation to Fleet Admiral Sengoku," Ortolan said, glaring at Rosinante. "You've really put your old man through a lot!"

Ortolan pondered to himself.

After such an incident, compared to a smart, capable, and reliable Marine Admiral like Doflamingo, if Sengoku really had a choice, he would probably prefer to recognize Doflamingo as his eldest son.

After all, Rosinante is such a jerk!

That's inhuman!

Wait, that doesn't make sense! Doflamingo used to twist his own father's head off and use it as a ball!

Would the Sengoku dare to be his godfather?

Thinking about it this way, Ortolan suddenly realized that Rosinante and Doflamingo truly deserved to be called brothers!

One killed his own father, the other betrayed his godfather!

Amazing! I admire you! They're brothers born to be enemies, together they're their father's enemy, no doubt about it!
