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

A slightly immature boy's voice echoed across the field.

The oppressive aura reappeared, but this time it did not affect the ordinary soldiers.

It's just a declaration that someone is not dead yet.

Raleigh, Gion, and Kakei, however, sensed something from this aura.

This aura appears powerful, but it also carries a sense of being outwardly strong but inwardly weak.

"Looks like that little brat has been beaten into submission."

Raleigh pulled a fine cigar from his pocket, lit it with an elegant lighter, and exhaled a comfortable puff of smoke.

"My knife... is not clean..."

Everyone was in good spirits, except for Cleveland, who seemed to have been deeply affected by something.

He glanced silently at Raleigh, then at the slime-covered saber stuck in Torrebol's body.

His once resolute face was now filled with a look of grievance.

Raleigh pretended not to see it and didn't say anything to comfort him.

Once something like this is done, it's done, but we absolutely cannot give Cleveland a chance to speak up.

Stop.

Raleigh's words spread like a divine pronouncement throughout the battlefield.

Gion and Kake, who had been fighting fiercely, both silently stopped.

The entangled mafia members and navy personnel, upon hearing two calls to stop, tacitly moved to opposite sides.

A little boy, covered in blood and with a bloody head, struggled to move his body.

Doflamingo's head was covered in wounds.

Every step he took was excruciatingly painful, but he gritted his teeth and refused to groan.

"So, kid, are you willing to listen to my rules now?"

Raleigh said with a roguish grin, puffing on his cigar.

Doflamingo acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and suddenly knelt down in front of Raleigh.

"Huh?"

Doflamingo's move suddenly left Raleigh somewhat bewildered.

He had considered that Doflamingo should accept his conditions, and he had even considered that Doflamingo should launch another sneak attack on him.

But he never expected that someone as arrogant as Doflamingo would kneel down to a Marine.

"Dover, stand up!"

"Dover, you are our king, how can you kneel before others!"

Trebol, who was originally seriously injured, seemed to have been awakened by Doflamingo's Conqueror's Haki.

He opened his eyes and saw this scene, and couldn't help but scream.

The other family members were also stunned by Doflamingo's actions.

They joined the Don Quixote family voluntarily because they liked to follow the strong.

Because Doflamingo is strong enough, cunning enough, and self-controlled enough.

This is the foundation of their unwavering loyalty!

But if one kneels down when faced with an insurmountable enemy, then is one still qualified to be the young master of the Don Quixote family?

Ignoring the stares of others, Doflamingo slammed his forehead into the ground and let out a low growl:

"My lord, I am willing to give my life for the lives of my family members, whether they are imprisoned in Impel Down or in a naval prison, as long as they live."

Looking at Doflamingo kneeling on the ground, Raleigh felt a lot of emotions.

This guy, despite being evil enough, is arguably one of the most qualified pirates in the One Piece world.

However, it must be said that even villains have things they cherish.

What Doflamingo cherishes most is his family.

Although Doflamingo is currently filled with destructive desires, Raleigh doesn't want to kill him before he actually does those things.

Moreover, if Doflamingo is used properly, he can also be a weapon in Doflamingo's hands.

After all, once the Mad Blade Pirates went to the Grand Line, he really couldn't find a suitable Gray Glove for the time being.

As for the Seldesbury family?

They were merely Raleigh's test subjects; they were lucky if they could even maintain one island.

Currently, the only family with the best chance of becoming Raleigh Grey Gloves is the Don Quixote family.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you've given me a tough challenge."

"Although you have been expelled from the Celestial Dragons, you still have Celestial Dragon blood flowing through your veins. I cannot kill you."

"However, the Donquixote Family's executives and members are not former dragons, so they are the only ones I can kill."

Raleigh's words struck Doflamingo's heart like a heavy hammer.

He didn't know why, even though he was kneeling on the ground in such a humiliating way.

The navy officer in front of him still refused to let go of his "family".

A feeling of powerlessness permeated Doflamingo's entire body.

This was the third time he had felt powerless.

"However, if you agree to a few conditions, I might consider letting them go."

Raleigh flicked the ash from his cigar and said casually.

If Doflamingo can accept his conditions, then it wouldn't matter if he spared the other executives and members.

What Raleigh needs is a powerful, obedient mafia family.

If the Donquixote Family were reduced to a lone figure like Doflamingo, it wouldn't mean much to him.

"You have ten seconds to think about it."

"I agree in less than ten seconds!"

After Raleigh stated his conditions, Doflamingo agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Then, a small face covered in blood lifted up.

He grinned, revealing his gap-toothed smile:

"In this world, nothing compares to family, except for revenge."

The officers and members, who were initially indignant, were deeply moved after hearing Doflamingo's words.

"Dover..."

"Young Master, are we really worth this sacrifice?"

"Young Master, I am willing to die. Please rise!"

All the Don Quixote family members who were still conscious stood up.

At this moment, they were proud of their king, and also proud of their identity!

That is our king!

Our king considers us family, and he would sacrifice himself to protect us.

Diamanti, Torrepol, Vergo, Cinca...

One by one, those who had just been beaten to the point of incapacity stepped forward, clinging to their last breath.

"Clap clap clap".

Raleigh, a cigarette dangling from his lips, stared blankly at Doflamingo at his feet.

If this guy weren't so extreme, he could be considered a ruthless and powerful figure.

However, he knew Doflamingo's character well; the Celestial Dragons' mentality of treating human life as worthless was also present in Doflamingo.

"A viper-like fellow" is the best description of Doflamingo.

Raleigh was silent for a moment before finally speaking:

"Take your men and go back to lick your wounds, brat."

Raleigh wasn't worried that Doflamingo would grow to the point of threatening him.

Unless that person is named Wang Luffy, how could someone with omniscience and a system lose to a native?

However, it was still necessary to take precautions, so he decided to send a few spies to Doflamingo.

He stared intently at Doflamingo's movements.

Raleigh, who originally planned to gradually unify the underground forces of the North Blue, has a new plan in mind after taking down Doflamingo.
