One Piece: Seeing Proficiency, I Became a Legend

"Nice to meet you! I'm Dongze!"

"Donquixote Doflamingo!"

Doflamingo greeted Dongze quite calmly, as though everything that had happened earlier had never occurred.

Dongze stopped walking, no longer heading toward the Royal Palace. After all, the man he had come for was already here.

"What a fine surname!"

Looking at him, Dongze curled his lips into a faint smile and spoke casually.

The mention of that surname struck Doflamingo where it hurt. He had always considered that matter a stain on his life. If not for his parents, how could he have fallen so low?

"You bastard! Do you have a death wish?"

This time, Doflamingo lost his composure outright and began swearing.

"I hear they call you Joke in the underworld. That means clown, doesn't it? Even someone like you should have learned to respect the strong!"

As though he had teleported, Dongze appeared beside Doflamingo and rested a hand on his shoulder.

"Impossible..."

Doflamingo stared at the hand on his shoulder and stammered.

Ever since he had reached the ground, he had kept his Observation Haki at its maximum, yet it had failed to catch even a trace of Dongze's movement.

Suddenly, Doflamingo felt his feet leave the ground. By the time he came to his senses, Dongze had already pinned him against a wall.

"What's impossible about it? Descendant of the Celestial Dragons, Donquixote Doflamingo!"

"Urgh!"

Pain shot through Doflamingo's chest, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Heh heh! Heh heh! Hahahaha! Hahahaha! Hahahahaha!"

Spurred on by the blood, Doflamingo burst into laughter. His laughter grew louder and more deranged.

"Is it that funny?"

With another heavy blow, Dongze slammed Doflamingo into the ground. This time, he used Ryuo-level Armament Haki. Doflamingo had used Haki to defend himself, of course, but it did little good.
