Clever Doflamingo: Is That Guy a God?

Who is this person?

The young Doflamingo trembled all over, thoroughly frightened by the late-night encounter.

"I ask, you answer. Don't make noise. If you scream, I'll have no choice but to kill you."

The man said, and Doflamingo hurriedly nodded.

"Name?"

"Doflamingo... Donquixote Doflamingo."

"How old are you?"

"8 years old."

Hmm? 8 years old...

Dimon recalled the plot. He clearly remembered that Doflamingo killed his own father at the age of 10 and ate the String-String Fruit.

And two years before that, his father, Donquixote Homingo Saint, led his family to abandon their Celestial Dragon privileges and choose to live among ordinary people in the lower world.

Two years ago, which is now?

"Interesting... Doflamingo, your father will soon abandon his Celestial Dragon status and take your family to live in the lower world."

Doflamingo didn't understand why the other party would say that.

How could his father be foolish enough to give up his Celestial Dragon status?

"Who are you? Why are you in my room?"

Doflamingo asked in a low voice, not daring to make any sudden moves, fearing the other party would stab him.

Is he a runaway slave from some family?

He guessed in his heart.

"My name is Dimon."

Hearing this, Doflamingo's pupils contracted, and fear appeared on his face.

Dimon raised an eyebrow, "It seems you know me?"

"Rocks... Rocks Pirates!?"

Doflamingo's heart raced, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

Seven years ago, the Rocks Pirates had kidnapped a Celestial Dragon on Sabaody Archipelago and extorted a ransom from the World Government.

He was only one year old at the time and didn't have very clear memories.

But in the years that followed, he often heard about it. If a child in the Holy Land misbehaved, parents would threaten them by saying the Rocks Pirates would come to catch them.

Out of curiosity, Doflamingo specifically researched the Rocks Pirates from the stories and had an indelible memory of their members.

In his toy room, he even had the bounties of all the members.

Doflamingo never imagined that the story used to scare children would come true and happen to him.

"Are you here to kidnap me?"

Facing a great crisis, Doflamingo's mind raced. He quickly said:

"My family doesn't have much status in the Holy Land, so you won't get much ransom. I can help you find a better target!"

"A few years ago, the leader of the Holy Knights brought back a child named Figarland Shamrock. Go kidnap him!"

"He's worth more than me!!"

Dimon: "..."

When did the reputation of the Rocks Pirates become like this?

Just saying the name scared Ming-di so much, it almost made him laugh.

However.

This guy is indeed someone who would dare to kill his own father in the future. Even in this situation, he thought of a way to shift the blame.

As for the Shamrock mentioned by the other party, he was Shanks' twin brother.

They were born in God Valley. After the God Valley incident five years ago, one was taken by the Roger Pirates, and the other was brought back to the Holy Land by his biological father, Saint Gorosei.

With the Five Elders not having any newborn sons, the son of the leader of the Holy Knights was indeed the most valuable kidnapping target.

Wait!

Am I here to kidnap a Celestial Dragon?

Dimon was almost sidetracked. This kid was quite good at finding targets; he almost felt tempted.

Compared to stealing a Devil Fruit, directly kidnapping Shamrock seemed easier.

Thinking of this, Dimon asked with interest, "You know Shamrock?"

"We've met a few times!"

Doflamingo quickly replied, "He often appears in the parks of the Holy Land."

Upon hearing this, Dimon remained noncommittal and asked again, "Where do you Celestial Dragons store Devil Fruits?"

"We don't have Devil Fruits in our homes."

Doflamingo shook his head and answered.

So, it really is about Devil Fruits?

The Elixir of Immortality, brewed by the brewer Dimon, uses Devil Fruits as raw materials.

The existence of the Elixir of Immortality has also attracted great attention among the Celestial Dragons.

Immortality is not uncommon for Celestial Dragons.

The Five Elders are all immortal beings who have wielded supreme power for a very, very long time.

But the Five Elders are too distant from ordinary Celestial Dragons; they are not qualified to obtain such power.

The emergence of the Elixir of Immortality, however, brought other hopes.

Therefore, Dimon's reputation in the Holy Land is known to everyone, far greater than Rocks' reputation.

Countless times, Celestial Dragons from many families have united to propose to the Five Elders that Dimon be captured!

"If you want to obtain many Devil Fruits, just go see the Five Elders, and they will definitely agree to let you become a Celestial Dragon."

"Hehehe... What do you know, brat."

Dimon had no interest in explaining to a mere child and continued to ask, "Do you know which families have Devil Fruits?"

"I... I don't know. I'm just a child. My father might know."

To save his own life, Doflamingo brought up his father.

He paused for a moment, then quickly explained:

"As fellow Celestial Dragons, there are differences in status among families. Our family is just an ordinary Celestial Dragon family."

"Above us, if someone in the family becomes a member of the Holy Knights, their status will be higher."

"And the families of the Five Elders are the highest in status among all Celestial Dragons!"

Celestial Dragons and those in the lower world are clearly separated.

In the eyes of Celestial Dragons, people in the lower world are all lowly beings, slaves who serve them, at their mercy for life and death.

But among Celestial Dragons, there are also disparities.

The Holy Knights even have the authority to execute ordinary Celestial Dragons!

Doflamingo explained the situation in the Holy Land. After listening, Dimon couldn't help but frown.

Should he go from house to house?

Or, should he directly infiltrate Pangea Castle? The treasure vault there should contain Devil Fruits.

After thinking for a moment, Dimon decided to change his strategy.

He had to admit, Doflamingo's suggestion was good. Kidnapping Shamrock and demanding a ransom was the easiest way.

It seemed he had to return to his old ways!

Thinking of this, Dimon extended his right hand, brought his index and middle fingers together, and pointed them at Doflamingo's chest.

Dark light flashed.

"What did you do to me?"

Doflamingo lifted his pajamas and looked down. He was immediately so scared that his face turned pale.

A Pentagram Magic Circle had appeared on his chest.

"What is this?"

"Take me to Shamrock tomorrow. For now, you can sleep!"

Dimon's gaze sharpened.

In an instant, Doflamingo's consciousness felt like it was struck by a large bell. His eyes rolled back, and he fell asleep.

After doing this, Dimon walked to the window and opened it.

He didn't fully believe what Doflamingo had said and was going to verify it now.

The next day, in the morning.

"Ah!"

Doflamingo woke up from his sleep as if he had a nightmare.

"Was it a dream? What an annoying dream!"

Doflamingo's expression was grim. He got out of bed and walked to the full-length mirror. Suddenly remembering something, he lifted his pajamas to look at himself in the mirror.

"No... it's not a dream!?"

In the mirror, his own chest bore a dark pentagram magic circle.

He felt uneasy, "What in the world is this? Should I tell Father?"

After pondering for a long time, Doflamingo dared not act rashly.

"Damn it, such a big pirate bullying a child like me!"

Doflamingo cursed Dimon in his heart as a maid's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Young Master, it's time to get up. Master is already waiting in the dining room."

"Got it!"

Doflamingo grunted, got dressed, and went downstairs for breakfast.

In the dining room, his father, mother, and his own younger brother were already waiting for him.

As soon as Doflamingo sat down, Donquixote Homingo Saint spoke with a grave expression:

"I had a nightmare last night. I've decided to give up my Celestial Dragon privileges and leave the Holy Land as soon as possible to live in the lower world."

Clang.

The soup spoon in Doflamingo's hand dropped, and he was stunned.

[Doflamingo, your father will soon abandon his Celestial Dragon status and take your family to live in the lower world.]

Last night, Dimon's words echoed deep in his mind.

Was that guy a god? How did he know?!
