The Furious Doflamingo: The Birth of a Demon

Within the Navy, there are various factions, large and small. The hawks, doves, and neutrals are simply categorized by their approach to pirates, which is also the most important factor.

If we break it down further, it is divided into five categories: East China Sea, West Blue, North China Sea, South China Sea, and the Grand Line. This is a classification based on geographical location.

After all, people from the same sea area are bound to be closer.

And then there are many other groups.

In the short term, it is beneficial for capturing pirates, but in the long term, it is detrimental to the unity within the Navy. This is unavoidable, and even Sengoku could not do anything about it or stop it.

Marshal Kong had essentially relinquished power and didn't want to get involved in these troubles, leaving them all to the Sengoku.

However, as Marshal, before he left his post, he was the number one person in the navy and had enormous influence.

Currently, within the Navy, besides the Three Admirals and the three Logia Devil Fruit User, Vice Admiral Lloyd, who caused significant losses to the Navy and lost his competitiveness, has now been relieved of his vice Vice Admiral position and is retiring within the Navy.

There are four other contenders for the position of Admiral, each with different backing.

Marine Vice Admiral Gilman, a user of the Ancient Species Titan Python Fruit, and Marine Vice Admiral Atchison, Devil Fruit User the Logia Miasma Fruit, represent interest groups comprised of World Government officials and some high-ranking Navy officials.

Both of these rare and powerful abilities were provided by officials of the World Government.

The World Government officials manage the World Government, wield immense power, and control enormous interests. Each of them is in cahoots with the Affiliated Nation below them, and each receives huge profits annually from the Affiliated Nation or other forces.

Therefore, the corruption of World Government is not superficial; it is rotten to the core.

Now, they've also set their sights on the power of the Admiral's position.

Marine Vice Admiral Frieda, Paramecia Devil Fruit User, possesses immense strength, surpassing other contenders for the Admiral position.

His strength has reached the level of Admiral, and with his powerful physical skills, he has surpassed Vice Admiral. Now, he has also obtained a powerful top-tier Paramecia Devil Fruit.

Compared to him, Sakazuki and the others are still a bit lacking. They have only just entered the Admiral level, and are even a little short. This is because the Admiral level is not a bottleneck, but a comprehensive strength. Combat power alone is not enough; destructive power is not enough.

However, Sakazuki and his teammates were still young, while Frieda's body had reached its limit.

Frieda has the Celestial Dragons behind him and is connected to CP0, possibly even being a member. Therefore, Frieda is subtly ostracized within the Navy. However, he also has considerable support from the Navy, and the power behind him is enormous, while his own strength is also formidable.

The last Marine Vice Admiral, Nickt, Paramecia Devil Fruit User the Boom-Boom Fruit, was a veteran Vice Admiral within the Navy, just like Lloyd, who had lost his competitive edge. They had a strong relationship.

With so many competitors, Sengoku and the others naturally hoped that Sakazuki and the other two would become Admiral, as the potential of the others was already close to its limit, and the combat strength of Admiral was not easy to achieve.

Needless to say, Frieda someone Sengoku and the Sengoku would never have known that CP0 had planted a spy within the Navy and was even vying for the position of Admiral if it weren't for this incident.

Even with so many more competitors, Sakazuki and his two companions, all promising young talents, are strong contenders for the rank of Marine Admiral.

During this period, the West Blue Dark Council flourished, completely covering the entire Underworld of the West Blue. It possessed numerous industries, powerful connections, and the ability to export goods from the West Blue to the other three seas, as well as the Grand Line.

Now, the second Dark Conference has concluded. Based on the developments over the past year, it has formulated some new laws, improved the rights and interests of its members, and pointed out some directions for future development.

For example, some business plans are spearheaded by the Dark Council, and then the members below can decide whether to participate.

The plans are diverse and involve many different industries, so every faction has the opportunity to participate.

Similarly, the Dark Council also demonstrated its power, wiping out several "unruly" forces in one fell swoop, or perhaps instigated by someone behind the scenes, in order to demonstrate the authority of the Dark Council.

More and more people want to join the Dark Council. After officially joining the Dark Council, many people are no longer reserved. Plans, systems, and laws are no longer solely formulated by the Dark Council or "Hades". Some people have begun to propose or advocate for the establishment of new departments to supplement the Dark Council.

The second Dark Council meeting was much better; at least there was already this momentum. You have to understand that before that, ninety percent of the Dark Council's affairs and laws were personally drafted by Hades.

That is why the West Blue Dark Council has such a prestigious reputation. Few people know about it openly, but it is Daimyo in the Underworld.

As a giant superpower and a group with vested interests, the Dark Council's insignia can already be seen in other seas.

The room is decorated primarily in dark purple. Under the dark moon, a round table is set up for a meeting, with each person seated in a black robe that covers their face.

The Dark Council controls or collaborates with many merchant guilds, which engage in trade, export arms, and expand their influence in other sea areas.

In just over a year, apart from the forces that were annexed or eliminated, the other forces have all expanded to some extent.

After all, this is the Underworld the West Blue. Apart from the Dark Conference, as long as one does not violate the laws of the Dark Council, there is competition between various forces.

Even so, everyone knows that the Dark Council has a ruler, the ruler of the Dark Council, "Hades," whose identity is unknown, but who is the true king of the West Blue Underworld.

By establishing the Dark Council and uniting the powerful Underworld of the West Blue, they gained the power to destroy the Dark Council.

Having enjoyed the benefits of order, the forces that joined the Dark Council did not want to leave or lose it.

Kukulkan Koyater, the emperor of the South China Sea Underworld, used his immense power to control the entire South China Sea Underworld and rule the South China Sea.

Hades of the West Blue, while using power, also used order and interests to rule the Underworld of the West Blue, making this rule even more stable.

Although Kukulkan Koyatel rules the South China Sea, the entire South China Sea Underworld will spiral out of control once he dies.

Even if Hades disappears, the Dark Council will still exist, because the Speaker has a two-year term and can serve a maximum of two consecutive terms.

The Underworld of the North Blue is now under the rule of Doflamingo, whose power is rapidly expanding with the support of the Night Pirates, and even Tsuru cannot stop it.

The "Joker's" reputation in the North Blue Underworld grew louder and louder, and the Donquixote Family's power expanded rapidly. Using weapons and business, Doflamingo defeated one competitor after another, and in the shadows, he even personally assassinated the leaders of those forces.

He has learned to use his own strength.

Doflamingo's strength increased rapidly, his power expanded, and he was at the height of his power.

Through business, he gained control over the lifelines of other forces and brought them to his knees.

It is said that Doflamingo also established a Dark Council in the North Blue. However, unlike the Dark Council in the West Blue, it is very crude. It is just a gathering of the heads of various forces. Doflamingo uses this council to control the underground forces in the West Blue.

After all, the West Blue has this tradition, with the concept of the Dark Council and the terrifying power displayed by Hades.

Doflamingo, on the other hand, is still hiding in the shadows and does not yet possess the overwhelming power of Hades or Koyatol.

"Joker" is his identity in the Underworld, and very few people know about it.

During this time, Doflamingo also found the Devil Fruit that Teach wanted, the Devil Fruit he had prepared for Otto.

Just as Teach had predicted, the Paramecia Arms-Arms Fruit was obtained by Doflamingo and delivered to the Night Pirates.

"Baboon, 'Hades,' that's you, Teach." Doflamingo laughed loudly on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, quite certain despite lacking evidence. "What a grand scheme."

"Heh, does it matter?" Teach chuckled, not answering him directly, but his answer was already clear.

"When are you planning to leave the North Sea for the New World?" Teach asked, looking at the Den Den Mushi.

"It should take another two years. Our power has grown too fast during this time, and it's still somewhat unstable. However, I still want to thank you for your support." Doflamingo naturally knew that developing in the North Blue wouldn't last long, and he would eventually have to go to the New World.

"This is just a transaction, so let's hurry. Our cooperation has been quite pleasant, but you should focus on improving your strength quickly. If you can't reach the Overlord level, you're simply not up to par," Teach said calmly. "If needed, I can offer you some guidance, but it won't be free."

Teach's cooperation with Doflamingo wasn't limited to Devil Fruit; it also included business dealings and intelligence sharing.

"Baboon, you're really Haki. It seems you'll be setting sail again soon. Baboon, you've been silent for so long." Doflamingo understood Teach's unspoken meaning.

"Don't worry, I'll be in the New World soon. However, there's something else I need to get." Doflamingo laughed heartily. From Teach's words, one could sense Teach's power. During this time, he had visited the Night Pirates several times and had also felt the terrifying strength of Teach, which was simply unfathomable.

Then there are the members of the Night Pirates. Each of these officers is incredibly powerful. As the vice-captain of the Night Pirates, Rediat is even more unfathomable, a legendary monster like Teach.

With the addition of the Night Pirates' power in the New World, the Night Pirates are truly a collection of monsters.

It is precisely because of this pressure that Doflamingo has never given up training and improving his strength while developing his power. Even now, when he is communicating with Teach via Den Den Den Mushi, Doflamingo is still wearing Seastone Handcuffs.

Now twenty years old, Doflamingo already possesses immense power. He has his own methods for becoming stronger, and his identity allows him to obtain many things, including the World Government's complete Marine Six Styles, Devil Fruit development plans, and Haki training manuals.

"The position of Shichibukai?"

"Baboon, that's right." Doflamingo wasn't surprised that Teach knew about this.

"This is a good thing for you, but it's useless to me. However, it's just a proposal right now. Although it's been confirmed, it hasn't been officially announced yet. If you want to become Shichibukai sooner, you can use your connections and influence to push it forward." Teach smiled.

"That's a great idea, I'll do it." Doflamingo's eyes lit up. He didn't need to wait at all; the initiative was entirely in his own hands.

"However, to prevent any accidents from happening to you, there's something I want to tell you, something I wasn't originally planning to tell you," Teach said slowly.

This gave Doflamingo a bad feeling, and he frowned. Teach was about to tell him was definitely not good news for him.

"Speak," Doflamingo said in a deep voice, already prepared for what was to come.

"You must have a younger brother, Donquixote Rosinante. Do you know where he is now?" Teach smiled, somewhat curious to see Doflamingo's current condition.

There was silence in front of the Den Den Mushi, but Teach could hear Doflamingo's heavy breathing as he awaited news from Teach, news that concerned his brother. At the same time, an ominous premonition grew stronger in Teach's heart.

"Heh, Donquixote Rosinante, Marine Headquarters Commander, Navy ID: 01746, codename 'Little Rice Fruit,' Devil Fruit User. He's a very righteous and kind-hearted Navy officer, with a personality just like your father. Also, he's the adopted son of Sengoku Admiral, and was saved by Sengoku when he was young."

"In my opinion, he'll be back with you soon, so be prepared. That's all I have to say."

At this moment, Doflamingo clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and felt only endless anger in his heart.

Doflamingo didn't care how Teach obtained this information, but he understood that his brother would be returning soon, as a Marine spy.

Meanwhile, his younger brother became a kind-hearted navy man, and the words "just like your father" pierced his heart, reminding him of his foolish father, the father who had dragged him into hell, and the father he had killed with his own hands.

"Thank you very much," Doflamingo said softly, then hung up the phone.

On Doflamingo's side, the air became extremely heavy. "Damn it, why did you betray me again!" Doflamingo shouted, almost yelling.

This immediately alerted the officials outside. "Dover, what's wrong?"

"What happened?"

However, after opening the door, they were all stunned, their bodies trembling. At this moment, Doflamingo's aura became extremely terrifying.

The Conqueror's Haki emanated involuntarily, causing their bodies to freeze in place.

Doflamingo's red sunglasses had fallen to the ground and shattered.

Doflamingo's eyes had turned completely blood red, and his entire body exuded a terrifying aura like that of a demon. This version of Doflamingo was something they had never seen before; he seemed like a completely different person.

After a long silence, Doflamingo seemed to have come to a realization, raising his head and covering his forehead with his hand.

"Baboon, baboon, baboon..." Doflamingo burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha..." On Beast Island, Teach couldn't help but burst into laughter, which made the other members around him a little strange.

"The demon has fully Awakening." Teach smiled, standing up from a rock. "The Night Pirates are setting sail again, let the entire sea be shrouded in darkness!"

The other members all became excited.
