One Piece: Starting with Creating the Strongest Character Design

Dolly, who had been standing there in a daze, was now looking at Corazon with a face full of suspicion.

This guy feels kind of familiar...

He was in that stronghold when Corazon stole the Silence Fruit.

Although it was dark, he could vaguely make out the figure that jumped out of the window.

"This guy looks familiar..."

Dori squinted and looked at Kitahara Tsuneo.

It's inconvenient with so many people around right now, so he plans to talk to the naval officer about his thoughts later.

Without exposing Corazon's easily exposed lie, Kitahara Tsune asked.

"If that's the case, why are you here?"

As he spoke, Kitahara Tsune looked at Law beside him and asked, "Is this brat named Law with you?"

"Ah, yes," Corazon quickly explained, "Uh... as for why I'm here? Well, it's because... because..."

Corazon stammered for a few moments before finally coming up with an excuse.

"It was I who reported to Marshal Sengoku that the Donquixote Family wanted to seize the fruits of the surgery."

He told me not to come near here.

"However, I was a bit too eager for quick success and instant benefits, and I wanted to get the fruits of the surgery for Mr. Sengoku."

"Unexpectedly, not only did I fail, but I also ended up with a lot of injuries."

After stating this reason, Corazon felt a little more relaxed.

That's a good excuse!

"I see..."

Kitahara Tsune nodded and said, "Since you are a direct subordinate of the Sengoku Marshal, you should go back and report to him directly."

"If nothing unexpected happens, Vice Admiral Tsuru's fleet should be arriving soon. You should go back to your warship and recover from your injuries."

"And what about you?" Corazon asked.

"Of course I will continue searching for the whereabouts of the surgical fruit."

"Hiss..." Corazon gasped, wanting to say something.

Others may not know the whereabouts of the surgical fruit, but does he not know?

He was eaten by Luo, who was right next to him!

No matter how hard you search, you definitely won't find the Op-Op Fruit on this island!

They might even run into Doflamingo then.

In his view, although Kitahara Tsune was powerful, the Donquixote Family was far more than just Doflamingo; there were many other executives as well.

If we run into them, we might die here.

As the one who saved their lives, Kitahara Tsuneo was someone Corazon would naturally not abandon.

While he was racking his brains trying to come up with a way to get this young, upright navy man back on the warship with him...

But an unexpected event occurred!

At some point, thin white threads suddenly appeared in the sky.

The thin thread spread outwards from the Ghost Town on the island.

In just a few minutes, the entire island was enveloped by the fine threads.

Luo, Dolly, and Corazon all looked up at the thin white veil that enveloped the entire island.

"What is that thing?"

Dolly pointed to the white line that covered the sky.

Corazon's eyes widened in surprise; as a member of the family, he had never seen this move before.

But he was certain that this was Doflamingo's ability.

……

not long ago.

A secluded port on the island of Mignon.

A flamingo-shaped ship wearing red glasses docked at the port.

A group of oddly shaped people surrounded a man wearing a pink feathered robe, with blond hair and red glasses, as he slowly disembarked from the Flamingo.

They are none other than the Don Quixote family.

The one leading the group was Don Quixote Doflamingo.

Just recently, they were preparing to go to Seagull Island to meet up with Corazon, whom they had agreed to meet.

However, while their officers were flying in the air, they spotted two naval warships among the rocks not far from Haiyan Island.

The cunning Doflamingo immediately realized what was happening and changed course, arriving at Minion Island in preparation for intercepting the Op-Op Fruit ahead of time.

"Who are you people?"

At the port, a group of fully armed pirates were pointing guns at the Donquixote Family's executives.

Doflamingo frowned deeply as he watched the flames and smoke rising from the center of the island.

With a slight twitch of his fingers, several invisible threads silently drifted down onto the group of pirates opposite him.

"What did you do to me?!"

The pirates immediately froze, unable to control themselves.

Then, to the horror of their opponents, they turned their knives and guns on their comrades.

"Well……"

After a fierce battle, only corpses were left scattered all over the ground.

Controlling a pirate who was still barely alive, Doflamingo asked, "What exactly happened on the island?"

"The captain said the Operation Fruit has been stolen, and we need to search for it on the island quickly."

The pirate cried out in terror, "Please, spare me—"

Before he could finish speaking, a thin thread appeared at his throat, and blood splattered everywhere.

Doflamingo casually tossed the guy aside, leaving him on the side of the road.

"Barrerus! You piece of trash!"

Although Doflamingo remained expressionless, he was furious inside.

The chance for immortality was right in front of him, but that guy threw it away!

"Nobody's getting away..."

Doflamingo twitched his fingers slightly, and clumps of fine threads shot out from his hand, soaring into the sky.

In Ghost Town.

The pirate crew stared blankly at the thin white lines spreading out in the sky.

"What is that thing?"

"What fell from the sky?"

"What exactly happened on this island? What happened?"

Seeing that something was wrong, the pirates ignored their captain's orders and ran off the island.

However, before they could run a few steps, thin white lines descended from the sky, completely encircling the island.

The pirates were dumbfounded when they saw the white lines blocking their way, which looked like a cage.

"Damn it, open it!"

In desperation, some pirates tried to pry the thin thread apart, but the moment they touched it, their hands were cut and blood gushed out.

Seeing this, some pirates tried to cut the line with their swords, but the recoil caused their swords to break.

"The rope is so stiff..."

"Damn it, we can't get out!"

Seeing that they couldn't get out no matter what, the pirates knelt on the spot, at a loss.

At that moment, several more thin white threads fell from the sky and entered their bodies.

Unlike the white line that surrounded the entire island, this thin line was invisible to the naked eye and extremely well hidden.

In an instant, the entire Ghost Island was filled with the stench of blood.

On the edge of Mignon Island, in a house that has barely managed to avoid collapsing.

Kitahara Tsuneo placed the two children and the injured Corazon here.

His original plan was to rescue Corazon and send him directly to Vice Admiral Tsuru's warship.

But I didn't expect Ming to arrive so quickly.

But this is fine too, Kitahara Tsuneo said, looking at the birdcage outside the window.

In this birdcage, Doflamingo, this flamingo, is hardly a bird of prey.
