"Fufu, how scary, Saint Gawain ~."
Faced with Gawain's threat, Doflamingo arrogantly revealed a Kizaru -like expression, then nonchalantly spread his hands.
"Don't worry, I know what I should do."
It's just about being by your side; for me, it's a game full of anticipation, Fufu.
Whether we expect you to make a mistake, or we expect you to actually defeat the World Government and raise your Dark Bird Ship flag.
In short, I'm incredibly excited about everything that's to come, a feeling that's far better Koby my current routine life!
As soon as he finished speaking, Doflamingo shook his head with a sneer.
"Back when I was a Celestial Dragon, my games were nothing more than playing with other kids, killing a few slaves with guns and cannons, and playing games of pretending to be adults."
Later, after that idiot Homing made his incredibly stupid decision...
My game then became about wandering around the streets and bringing back enough food for my mother to eat.
Later, my mother died, and I killed Homing. I rose from humble beginnings, relying on ambition, ruthlessness, and the Conqueror's Haki that I Awakening when I was ten years old, to find my current family.
From that moment on, my game truly began!
First, we take control of a neighborhood, then expand to a city, and finally venture out to sea, increasing our power.
At the opportune moment, I will seize the Heavenly Tribute, coerce the ruler of a nation, and ultimately become Shichibukai, while secretly reclaiming my own country!
As he said this, a hint of pride inevitably appeared on Doflamingo's face, but after the pride subsided, Doflamingo shook his head regretfully.
"Unfortunately, Fufu, my progress in the game is too slow at this stage."
All I can do now are two things.
Either become one of the Four Emperors, chase after the so-called Pirate King that only madmen and fools pursue, and then strive to die a more heroic death Roger.
Because only you and I know that while Imu may allow pirates to play house on the high seas, Imu will not allow a king-like, influential figure to emerge from among the rabble.
So for me, I have only one goal: to become Celestial Dragon again!
This goal is just too difficult; I couldn't achieve it even if I gave up all of Dressrosa.
To this end, I started the arms and human trafficking businesses to increase my influence.
Such a life is extremely boring, and it may take ten or twenty years, until I grow old.
Only through my accumulated efforts can I hope to enable my children to regain their status as Celestial Dragon.
As for me, you know, the Five Elders wouldn't let someone who killed a Celestial Dragon return to Mary Geoise."
Suddenly Doflamingo revealed a cruel smile. He first pointed to himself, then to Gawain, and laughed.
"You and I, Fufu, we are all man-eating wolves."
But they, they can't even be called human beings, they are just pigs and dogs that have been raised into idiots!
How could the Five Elders have placed us in such an environment?
"I am because my behavior will not be accepted by them, but you, from the moment you showed your wolfish side, you must, and can only, become Five Elders, Gawain!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Doflamingo chuckled and rubbed his hair, continuing to tease as he did so.
"Fine, fine, there's no need to talk about those things anymore. Anyway, you're my boss now, and I need to figure out how to get my colleagues to accept me!"
I haven't done this kind of work in a long time; it's like I need to integrate into a new family.
Fortunately, I think I've found two people who can stand by my side, Fufu!
After saying that, Doflamingo laughed and adjusted his sunglasses, then naturally walked up behind Gawain.
Watching Gawain's retreating figure without turning back, Doflamingo snapped his fingers softly.
"Bingo, that's right, I've found my spot."
As for the future, Boss.
You must keep our promise.
Otherwise, I will have to fulfill my promise to turn against you, Fufu.
I believe you can do it. I'm really looking forward to seeing the expressions on the faces of those Celestial Dragons who call me a traitor, dying in agony at my hands!
And also, Fufu...
I'm starting to look forward to meeting Trafalgar; it's going to be another life-or-death challenge!
Now that you know about my relationship with Trafalgar Boy, you have no reason to let him continue to roam the seas.
Who doesn't want to live forever?
Especially us!!!
At this point, Doflamingo finally quieted down, then stretched out his long legs and stood arrogantly behind Gawain.
Gawain rolled his eyes speechlessly, then shook his head and laughed.
"I really didn't know you were so talkative. If I had known, I might have killed you."
"Boo hoo hoo hoo, BOSS."
People like you and me, whose hearts are filled with philosophy and speculative spirit, wouldn't we be able to discuss things for days and nights on end if given the right opportunity?
Unfortunately, others don't understand me; in the end, I can only have a few more words to say to myself.
Besides, according to seniority, you're practically my cousin.
Younger brother!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, in the unseen spot behind Gawain's head, Doflamingo's gaze towards Gawain —the gaze hidden behind his sunglasses—suddenly held a hint of... expectation and affection!
Gawain had no idea that what prompted Doflamingo to actively seek him out was not just everything Doflamingo had previously expressed!
Doflamingo harbored another, unspeakable thought!
In the distant past, after losing his parents, Doflamingo's younger brother Rosinante was his only source of comfort!
No one knows how much he, who was filled with boundless longing for his family at that time, hoped that his younger brother could become a lifelong bond and support for him!
However, his younger brother gave him a cruel answer: that boy had betrayed Doflamingo long ago, joined the Navy, and even became Sengoku's adopted son...
That's why, the more he loved her at the beginning, the Doflamingo he hated her when he learned of Rosinante's betrayal!
He killed Rosinante swiftly and decisively, and he also lost his brother. But some things can only be truly appreciated after they are lost.
Just like Doflamingo's parents, Rosinante was always a thorn in Doflamingo's side.
As for Gawain, Doflamingo had already started paying attention to Gawain the moment Doflamingo first saw the news about him!
At that time, Gawain wasn't even in the newspapers; Doflamingo received was news that Gawain had unleashed two more Weather Cannon-level Conqueror's Haki's Gawain attacks in Mary Geoise and Marineford.
Since then, news of Gawain has increased, and Doflamingo's expectations for Gawain have grown even stronger.
Considering the issue of intermarriage within the nineteen Celestial Dragon families, every Celestial Dragon is destined to be related to another, and Gawain, based on seniority and age, is indeed Doflamingo's younger brother!
Therefore, Doflamingo once, in the quiet of the night, Dover fantasized that Rosinante's life could be like Gawain's!
If Rosinante were also a qualified Celestial Dragon, and if he could achieve Gawain did, then such a younger brother would surely make his older brother proud!
With such thoughts in mind, it's not surprising that Doflamingo's gaze towards Gawain was filled with deep emotion.
As for Gawain...
After hearing Doflamingo's words, he hesitated, rolled his eyes, and then solemnly turned back to Doflamingo and emphasized.
I have a feeling you're thinking something rude!
Honestly, I'm already starting to regret taking you in!
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain strode down the mountain, with Doflamingo naturally following behind Gawain.
As he strode with his usual arrogant gait, Doflamingo responded with a laugh.
"Ah, yes, yes, you're absolutely right, Boss."
Are you going to say next...?
"I want to kill you again right now, Heavenly Yaksha!"
Doflamingo deliberately imitated Gawain's refined yet Haki deep voice as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Gawain seemed to finally understand something, so he turned around in surprise and said incredulously!
"The way you're talking... wait, you don't mean to think I'm... a ghost!!!"
"Fush, whisk, whisk!!!"
No sooner had Gawain finished speaking than Doflamingo burst into laughter.
Laughing, Doflamingo spoke haltingly.
"You are so smart. Your understanding of people's hearts is beyond my imagination!"
Standing beside you, looking at you, I think I understand a little better now when Rossi stood beside me and looked at me back then!
Younger brother!!!"
After saying that, Doflamingo turned his head with a sigh and continued on his way.
And Gawain.
He pursed his lips, looking confused.
He's never lacked people on his ship who treat him like family; Uta even calls him "godfather" in private.
But Doflamingo, this guy... does he really see himself as a substitute for his brother?!
No, no, no, don't trust the Flamingo so easily. Nicknamed the Heavenly Yaksha, he has long treated scheming as a daily toy!
But if that's really what he thinks, then I...
Why am I starting to resemble that Whitebeard Big Mom more and more?
The Whitebeard conquered the world by adopting sons, while the Big Mom conquered the world by giving birth to sons.
And he himself, relied on being recognized as a relative by others to build his empire???
This... this...
And so, about forty minutes later, on the deck of the Dark Bird Ship.
Even when formally introducing Heavenly Yaksha's addition to everyone, Gawain still felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.
And everyone...
Upon learning that Flamingo had officially joined, the righteous individuals, including Yixiao, felt a slight sense of dissatisfaction.
However, now that they've been in contact with Gawain for so long, even without Gawain's explanation, Yi Xiao and the others can understand Gawain's thoughts on their own.
The instant after Gawain introduced Doflamingo, Kuma pulled out his notebook and started flipping through it rapidly.
After a moment, Kuma looked at the notebook and said.
"I can understand the adult's actions, just as the adult said before."
Adults never care about the good or evil of their subordinates, because adults decide the good or evil of their subordinates.
If adults can restrain evildoers and direct their power toward the good, the result will be far more effective than simply eliminating them!
Donquixote Doflamingo, his evil deeds are numerous!
But if he can use his power on our path in the future, then even if he is still a villain, he will be a villain who walks alongside justice!
Snap!
After saying that, Kuma slammed his notebook shut and then looked up at Doflamingo.
Facing the Kuma's gaze, Doflamingo bared his teeth in displeasure and sneered.
"Wow, what an excellent subordinate! I didn't expect that someone from the Revolutionary Army like you could be so adept at brainwashing others for Gawain!"
"Well..."
Upon hearing Doflamingo's words, Kuma's expression froze for a moment, then he quickly pouted into a ^ shape.
He turned to Gawain and spoke softly, considering his words carefully.
"Sir, even if I can understand you, he really isn't a likeable person..."
After saying that, Kuma Bear looked up at the sky and sat silently behind Gawain.
At the same time, with a swift movement, Yi Xiao drew his Cane Sword.
He didn't point the blade at Gawain, but at Doflamingo!
Looking at him with a smile, Doflamingo said disdainfully.
"Hey, you old blind man, do you want to test my skills?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Doflamingo arrogantly waved his right hand.
Although it hurts a lot, if it's a fight, then as long as I can move, that's fine!
At the same time, looking at the arrogant Doflamingo, he smiled, remained silent for a moment, and then said in a cold voice.
"I don't doubt the adults' decision, because I can't see the world, and my vision is far more limited than theirs!"
But no matter what, I don't like being on the same boat as you!!!
At this point, Yi Xiao slowly raised his sword and nodded slightly to Gawain.
After nodding, he smiled and brought his sword down against the wind; the immense gravity instantly shrunk Doflamingo considerably!
Looking at Doflamingo, who was being crushed by gravity but still wore a cruel smile on his face, he spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Heavenly Yaksha, I know what you've done in Dressrosa!"
If you want me to reluctantly accept this, then hand over control of Dressrosa first!
And then there are your forces in the Underworld.
Only by handing everything over to the adults can I acknowledge that you barely qualify to shoulder the will of the Dark Bird!!!
"Indeed!"
With a smile to the side, Gion gently placed Kompira on the ground and coldly glanced at Doflamingo.
Having received Gion's support, Ichisho smiled, then frowned again, and turned slightly to speak to Gawain.
"My lord, Crocodile also handed over the forces under his control when he boarded the ship."
"If someone wants to join us but can't let go of their past, then such a notorious Heavenly Yaksha like you can never earn our trust!"
"That's right!"
Gion smiled and continued speaking to Gawain.
"Our Dark Bird Ship has always been a one-man show. Since Master Zephyr has voluntarily given up his agreement with you and refused to take Doflamingo's life..."
Then we will naturally accept your decision unconditionally and are willing to treat this madman as a comrade-in-arms.
But if he wanted to gain our trust, he should have offered sufficient evidence to prove it!
At this point, Gion pointed her sword at Doflamingo with her left hand and sneered.
"I don't know what promises you made to the adults, I just want to know, now in front of the adults and us, what exactly can you do, Heavenly Yaksha!"
After all, while our ship isn't entirely white, we've never had a guy as bad as you on board!
If it weren't for the Five Elders' indulgence of your past deeds, you would have been torn to pieces long ago!!!
After saying that, black Armament Haki flowed down Gion's arm and seeped into Gion sword.
Meanwhile, after a brief, cold laugh, Doflamingo nonchalantly spread his hands.
"Tsk tsk, you'll never understand, happiness is a subjective thing."
When you feel that everything I do makes you unhappy, you stop explaining and stop trying to understand the joy I feel from it!
As for now, haha, you really look down on me~.
If I'm unwilling to even part with the remnants of the past, how can my body stand tall among the people of the future?
As soon as he finished speaking, Doflamingo waved his hand dismissively at Gawain.
"Gawain, get ready to receive everything I have!"
Dressrosa, haha, that country is now completely under the control of Sugar from my family.
Now, you can do whatever you want with that country!
As for my family, they all revolve around me; wherever I am, they will be there too!
However, the only slightly troublesome area is the Underworld, because I've been supplying Kaido.
If I suddenly run out of supplies, I'm afraid I'll have to confront Kaido -on!
"Oh?"
Just as Doflamingo finished speaking, when he mentioned Kaido's name...
Rayleigh, who was leisurely drinking to Gawain's right, suddenly smiled.
With a laugh, Rayleigh raised his glass and toasted Doflamingo from afar.
Seeing Doflamingo's expectant expression, Rayleigh, after drinking his wine, looked at Doflamingo and smiled.
"Kaido, heh heh, since a collision is inevitable, let's just kill him!"
You don't actually think that our Dark Bird Ship would consider Kaido a mere nuisance, do you?!
After saying that, Rayleigh laughed heartily, and as he laughed, Rayleigh reached out and gave Gawain a Gawain.
Just as the two high-fived, Doflamingo looked thoughtfully at Gawain and remarked with emotion.
"So, you had already decided to kill Kaido all along."
Is Fufu going to eliminate one of the Four Emperors with a single move?
"Your courage is truly worthy of my brother, Gawain!!!"
