Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

Raleigh knew all too well what the North Sea mafia was like.

Although gang fights are brutal, often resulting in dozens or even hundreds of deaths and injuries.

However, most gangs operate peacefully, and even when they fight, it's not that brutal. Often, members of the Mafia will switch allegiance to other Mafia families.

The Mafia doesn't care about a member's background; in their view, loyalty to the family is all that matters.

So among them were thieves, beggars, and even members of other Mafia families who had defected.

Raleigh and Borsalino briefly worked for gangs during that time, when the Mafia families offered better benefits.

Once you join the Mafia family, everyone gets a uniform, plus room and board.

Raleigh and Borsalino stayed for two months before being kicked out for not working hard enough.

To this day, Raleigh still misses his time in the mafia, where he spent his days eating, fighting, flirting with beautiful women, and sleeping—a very structured life.

"Admiral Raleigh, it looks like the battle is almost over."

Cleveland suddenly spoke up, interrupting Raleigh's recollection.

He's the only one who hasn't been led astray by Raleigh, because his idol is Sakazuki.

On the battlefield, everything was just as Cleveland had predicted.

Only about twenty Mafia members remained standing, supporting each other, back to back, facing the threat from the Don Quixote family.

"Boss, are you crazy? The enemy isn't us!"

They are all veteran members, many of whom have served as cadres for many years.

However, they were extremely confused and angry about their leader's betrayal.

The mafia boss dared not look them in the eye; he was filled with shame.

He should have died fighting alongside his family, but due to his inner cowardice, he turned around and raised his sword against his family members.

He wanted to hide behind the crowd and not attract attention.

"Fufufufufu, what are you doing? You just wasted half a minute. You only have one minute left. If you don't finish this fight soon, you'll bleed to death."

Doflamingo's voice came from behind, carrying an extremely arrogant attitude.

"I'm sorry, I'm running out of time."

He shed his inner weakness, and now he fights to survive. Anyone who stands in his way is his enemy.

Having set aside his pride and shame, the one-eyed leader quickly entered battle mode.

The mafia members were far less capable than him, and having fought for so long, they were basically exhausted.

When you encounter a leader who's willing to fight to the death, you're naturally powerless to resist.

"You'll die a horrible death!"

"Heh, I've finally seen through you today; you're nothing but a despicable person!"

"We'll be waiting for you in hell, you despicable traitor."

The Mafia members cursed their former boss; they were in despair.

Surrounded by members of the Don Quixote family and a crazed Mafia boss, they had no chance of escape.

"Boss, please spare me. I'm willing to join the Don Quixote family."

A young Mafia member put down his sword, knelt on the ground, and pleaded with his boss.

He thought that as long as he surrendered to the boss, he might be able to save his life.

However, he did not expect that before the Don Quixote family could even speak, the Mafia boss's knife would already be on his body.

"Why...why?"

The young mafia member lay helplessly on the ground, his vision gradually blurring, but his eyes remained fixed on his boss.

"As long as the family survives, it's enough for me to live."

This was his inner thought. Having done such a shameful thing, he naturally wouldn't allow any other member of his family to live.

Although Doflamingo didn't say it, he was afraid it would affect his chances of survival.

"Fufufufufu, the evil in human nature can only be truly unleashed in the face of life."

"The man who should have been the head of the family betrayed it and turned against them. How interesting, how very interesting."

That handsome face, already distorted, was now almost bursting with tears of laughter.

This was his favorite show, where he saw those who were supposed to be protectors turn around and turn their knives on the very people they were supposed to protect.

"Fufufufufu, this world is so interesting."

The members of the Don Quixote family looked at the boy who was laughing wildly with longing, as if he were a god.

Torrepol, Vergo, Diamanti, and other family members all knelt on one knee.

Looking at Doflamingo's retreating figure, his eyes revealed an intense adoration and pride.

This...this is the king they chose!

A shining new star in the underworld, destined to become a king who will have a place in the world.

The arrogance and haughtiness emanating from him, along with his naturally wealthy lineage, will subdue everyone who follows him.

Doflamingo's lips curled into a cold smile as he stepped across the battlefield littered with corpses, his pointed shoes gleaming.

Step by step, they marched toward the final battlefield.

Trebol was the first to stand up from the ground and silently followed behind Doflamingo.

They were like loyal guards behind the king, never smiling, but their gazes grew increasingly fervent.

At this moment, all eyes were on Doflamingo.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would have imagined that a teenager could actually possess the qualities to become a king.

Tap...tap...tap...

Pointed shoes made a clattering sound as they stepped on the stone slabs.

Before he could take another step forward, the Don Quixote family members on either side knelt down on one knee, their eyes fixed intently on their king.

Doflamingo walked up to the mafia boss amidst everyone's gaze.

At this moment, the mafia boss had completed his mission, personally killing all his family members.

He placed the broadsword aside, knelt on both knees, and pressed his forehead tightly to the ground.

The footsteps stopped in front of his head, and the mafia boss remained silent.

A pointed shoe landed on his head without warning.

The mafia boss clenched his fists tightly, a sense of shame growing rapidly within him.

Doflamingo didn't say anything; instead, he continued to press his pointed shoes downwards with increasing force.

He was curious whether the head under his feet would resist before he crushed it.

"Lord Doflamingo, I have killed all the enemies as you ordered."

A deep sound came from beneath his feet, but the mafia boss didn't see the maniacal grin on Doflamingo's face.

"Fufufufufu, I regret to inform you that you have failed the Don Quixote family's test, so you shall die."

Doflamingo suddenly exerted force with his calf and stomped down hard.

"How dare you lie to me!"

The mafia boss's pent-up anger was instantly ignited, and he tried to get up by pushing himself up with his hands on the ground.

boom!

A dull thud came from beneath Doflamingo's feet. The mafia boss's head exploded like a watermelon, with red and white liquid spilling all over the ground.
