One Piece: The World's Strongest in Roger's Era

"who is he?!!"

The angry voice echoed in the firelight, the sound was full of bewitching power, arousing the evil thoughts deep in the hearts of the crowd.

The person who shouted was named Jera. Yes, it was Jera who had "borrowed" money from Huo Minggu's family many times not long ago.

Now, he stood in the center of the crowd, playing the role of "judging" the Celestial Dragons.

His heart was filled with joy. All the frustrations of the past were finally released. The feeling of comfort almost overwhelmed his brain.

The once high and mighty Celestial Dragons! ~

He actually became a prisoner who was trampled upon by anyone!

And all this does not require a reason, it is simply because they are Celestial Dragons!

The faces of the people were filled with morbid madness, and they shouted loudly:

"Dragon people!!"

"What should we do?"

“Kill!!!”

The unanimous answer made the Huo Minggu family, who were nailed to the wall, completely despair. Their bodies trembled with fear and the young Rosinante burst into tears.

The naive Huo Minggu had tears in his eyes and was filled with regret.

Doflamingo, on the other hand, was trembling slightly, but not just out of fear.

But more than that, there is an emotion called "sadness and anger".

Because of his stupid father, his whole family suffered persecution.

Let yourself be nailed to the wall in disgrace because of stupid untouchables.

Because of the indifference of the holy land, he had no choice but to accept the beating from this group of untouchables.

Because of this fucked up world, I am suffering!

because……

Because of my own weakness...

Doflamingo's inner world is extremely complicated. He questions the world and resists the deception of fate.

who am I?

Are the descendants of God!

It is a noble God!

He is the king who is above the untouchables!

Yes--

Don Quixote Doflamingo!! ~

next moment--

The world stopped!

Dark red lightning poured out like a river bursting its banks or a huge mountain collapsing, covering the sky and the earth in an instant.

Just a moment——

Everyone present had their eyes whitened, lost consciousness, and slowly fell to the ground~

That fleeting force that enveloped the sea and sky was the power called 'Haoshoku Haki'!

It's Doflamingo's domineering color!

When Doflamingo came to his senses, the black cloth around his eyes had fallen off and everyone present had fainted on the ground.

He breathed heavily and looked at this familiar yet strange world.

familiar?

Still those same untouchables, still that stupid damn father.

strangeness?

I am no longer myself, I am Don Quixote Doflamingo!!

Doflamingo has power!

He is ambitious and his eyes are cold. Is he going to take revenge on this world and take back everything that belongs to him?

but.

At this moment, while Doflamingo was daydreaming—

A ray of azure starlight flickered under the firelight, blending into a charming red and blue color.

A tall, handsome, blond man, smiling, slowly stepped out of the void...

"How does it feel to gain power, Donquixote Doflamingo? ~"

Lex took steady steps, stepped into the void, walked up to Doflamingo who was tied to the wall, untied him, and brought him to the ground in his surprised and confused eyes.

"....You are....Leon Lex?"

The young Doflamingo asked hesitantly. He had only seen this familiar yet strange man in front of him in the newspaper. He remembered that he admired his strength at that time.

[I thought, if I had such power, I would not leave the Holy Land. In fact, the Holy Land would not be a big deal....]

And now, this blond man who only existed in newspapers stepped out from the void and lowered himself from the wall.

His life was hanging by a thread and he was about to be killed by the untouchables, but between life and death, he awakened new power.

But after the ups and downs, it turned out to be a more magical scene~

Leon Lex, the legendary man, actually appeared next to him!

Lex looked at the unconscious people present, as well as Huo Minggu and the other two on the wall. Because of his "layout", Huo Minggu's wife did not die prematurely, but lived to this day.

Lived to see the historic moment when Doflamingo awakened his Conqueror's Haki.

Lex still smiled faintly, and said to Doflamingo who looked up at him:

"Leon Lex, you are also a celestial dragon, right? You haven't answered my question yet. How does it feel to gain power, kid?"

At this moment, Doflamingo felt like a puppet, under the control of this man. The power gap between the two sides was too big!

It’s so big that it’s not even a world of its own!

The domineering aura that he had just awakened could not be mobilized freely now, and even if he could, it would probably not be able to shake the blond man at all.

Doflamingo didn't know what to do, so he could only answer Lex's question honestly:

"...gaining power, which is not really power, is just a proof that I am superior to these untouchables."

Lex's smile paused for a moment, then he continued to smile:

"That's not wrong, is it? Do you have any plans?"

Doflamingo had no idea what Rex was trying to do:

"Kill these untouchables and get out of here."

"Where are your parents? And your brother?"

"........."

Doflamingo remained silent. He wanted to answer "kill my father", but he was unsure of the man's thoughts, so he didn't dare to speak.

Lex naturally knew Doflamingo's inner thoughts:

"You can't just kill him directly."

! ! ! !

Doflamingo was shocked. This guy actually knew what he was thinking? !

Lex continued:

"You can do whatever you want with the others, but I have some use for your parents. How about turning them into slaves?"

Doflamingo subconsciously wanted to refuse:

"My mother can't do that, and neither can Rosinante."

"Uh-huh!~ I mean, is Huo Minggu okay?"

Lex asked with interest.

"......Um."

"Uh-huh-huh!~ Now! Two choices!"

Lex paused, and Doflamingo immediately had a bad feeling. Sure enough, he heard Lex continue:

"One! I'll give you a chance to join me, and then I'll turn your relatives into slaves and send them to auction, including your mother and brother."

"Two!........I don't need to tell you, right?"

The night passed silently, and the sky was full of stars, but they were not clear under the reflection of the fire.

Doflamingo lowered his head, and the look in his eyes behind his sunglasses was unpredictable.

He thought a lot, but not too much, and Lex got the answer he expected.

".........I'll choose one........"

"You won't regret it. Aren't they the murderers who pushed you into the abyss?"

"Maybe."

Doflamingo became calm at this moment. His voice was low but not trembling. It was hard to tell that he had just made a decision to turn his parents and brother into slaves.

History changes again.

"Want me to help you kill these people?"

Lex looked meaningfully at the civilians who were still unconscious on the ground. They pushed themselves into the abyss because of their anger.

Doflamingo's answer this time was straightforward:

"Lend me a knife."

Lex did not refuse and took out the sword he always carried with him - Budu Yuhun, one of the 12 supreme swords!

However, Lex suddenly remembered something, then he took it back and took out a fruit from the Eternal Space.

This fruit is covered with dark and strange lines, in the shape of a pineapple, with a strange black gas emanating from the surface.

It seems to be a mythical beast species!

This is exactly the Mythical Beast Black Devil Fruit that Rex took away from Shano after he killed Satan! !

He handed it to Doflamingo:

"This might be more convenient than a knife."

Doflamingo stared in amazement at the devil fruit that was so close to him.

Having seen the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, he knew clearly that this was the legendary mythical beast species!

It is the fruit of the great pirate devil Satan who once lived in the far western waters of the New World!

He took it, his eyes fiery and determined.

"Ugh~~"

A nauseous feeling of vomiting made Doflamingo extremely uncomfortable, but he had experienced the most painful suffering, so what did this matter?

next moment--

A pitch-black aura emanated from Doflamingo's body!

His body began to change, he grew taller, his eyes turned dark, his palms turned into sharp claws, his face was covered with black lines, and a pair of huge demon wings spread out behind him!

The black devil, the black devil who controls the terrifying black energy!

A mythical beast species that has been famous for a long time!

In an instant, Doflamingo's physical fitness was greatly improved. He shuttled among the crowd, his sharp and powerful claws slashing through, controlling the black air and corroding everyone's lives!

He was very happy. He enjoyed the feeling of plundering lives and the feeling of slaughtering the untouchables at will!

He is the black devil, the Nightshade——Donquixote Doflamingo!!

His dark eyes were replaced by blood red, and his bloodthirsty red eyes were particularly eye-catching in the dark night and under the firelight.

Blood flowed on the ground, corpses were thrown into the fire and burned, and the past that was too painful to look back on was corroded by the black air.

And the next one——

"Mr. Lex! What should I do?"

"Follow me, take a look at the scenery of the sea, and then overturn everything that makes us unhappy..."

“Hmmmm~~”
