One Piece: Starting with Creating the Strongest Character Design

On the edge of Mignon Island, beside the Flamingo.

The Donquixote Family's executives were surrounding Doflamingo, staring at the Den Den Mushi in his hand.

The Den Den Mushi's body was supported by Baby5's petite figure, with the other end of the phone held in Ming's hand.

Brub brub bru—

Still no signal.

This was the second time he had dialed the Den Den Mushi.

Although the birdcage has the function of restricting the signal of Den Den Mushi, it only blocks the signal between the inside and outside of the cage; normal communication can still be carried out inside the cage.

"What's going on with Vergo?"

Doflamingo's face was grim.

Prior to this, Vergo had already reported to him that he had been successfully transferred to the G5 branch and had been assigned to patrol near the island of Mignon.

When they arrived on the island and saw flames shooting into the sky, they realized that things had changed. They immediately dialed a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) to call Vergo and ask what arrangements the Navy had made.

However, it hasn't been completed yet.

For the past six months, since his brother Corazon took Law away from the Donquixote family to seek medical treatment, the Donquixote family, which was usually frequently visited by the navy, has not been harassed by the navy at all!

This made Doflamingo begin to suspect Corazon's identity.

After all, Corazon had left him when he was young, and it wasn't until eight years later, when he formed the Donquixote Pirates, that he returned to his side.

Now, traces of naval warships have been discovered near Haiyan Island, where the two met.

This evidence was enough for him to take action against Corazon.

"Could it be you, Corazon?"

Doflamingo said with a sinister grin.

He then immediately made arrangements—

"Buffalo, Baby 5, you two go up in the air and monitor the Navy's actions."

"Mahabais, you and Jora, go and look around for any suspicious people."

"Señor and Diamanti, you two keep an eye on the ship and make sure the navy doesn't spot it."

"Pika, use your ability to trap everyone on the island who can be trapped."

"The rest of you, come with me to the Barreus Pirates' hideout. Let me see what's going on with Barreus!"

"Yes, young master!"

Everyone accepted the order and went to carry out their respective tasks.

As a user of the "Spinning Fruit," Buffalo can transform his body into a propeller for flight. He joined the Donquixote Family with Baby5, and the two often acted together.

His abilities are perfectly suited for aerial maneuvering support.

Machbis is a user of the "Ton-Ton Fruit," which allows him to freely change his weight and levitate. He also possesses considerable combat abilities. Combined with Jora's "Art-Art Fruit" ability, he can effectively control people.

The two are the best choice for apprehending suspicious individuals.

The importance of ships in the world of One Piece goes without saying, and he dispatched his two most trusted subordinates to guard the ship.

The remaining group followed Doflamingo and headed towards Ghost Town in a grand procession.

Ghost Town Central Outpost.

"You bunch of useless trash! It's been so long and you still haven't found the Op-Op Fruit?"

"They're all useless! How did they let that kid Dolly get away? Now is the time when we need him the most!"

"That guy too, all he has is arm strength, no guts!"

"They're all trash! They're all trash!"

Barrelus was blushing as he reprimanded his men.

Now, he has not only lost the fruits of his surgery, but also his son!

Although he doesn't really care about his son...

The key point is that it's a surgical fruit worth 50 billion peles!

Moreover, the situation on the island is becoming increasingly strange.

He had already occupied this island a long time ago, but now many things have happened that he had no idea about.

For example, the thin white line that covers the entire island.

And pirates who inexplicably kill each other from time to time.

Everything was beyond his expectations.

Just as he was about to continue scolding or even hit the person, a pirate suddenly ran in from outside.

"Boss, a group of people are attacking!"

"Someone's here? Who would dare come here?!"

Barrerus is currently burning with rage and is just looking for someone to vent his anger on.

He pulled out his pistol, intending to kill all the guys who had inexplicably come in from outside.

But before he could even leave the room—

The door, along with the surrounding walls, seemed to have been smashed open by something!

In an instant, dust rose and bricks and stones were scattered all over the ground.

"What the hell?!"

Barrelus looked closely and realized that the guy who crashed through the wall was actually one of his men!

"No! That guy was thrown in!"

Thinking of this, he stared intently outside the room.

There stood four or five strangely shaped people.

However, those things are unimportant; what matters is the person they are crowding around at the center.

That's "Yaksha," "Dark Middleman," Doflamingo!

He had previously contacted the World Government through Doflamingo to sell the Op-Op Fruit.

"Why is this guy here?!"

The moment he saw Doflamingo's figure, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"Could this guy be the one who stole the Op-Op Fruit?"

Upon arriving here, the anger over losing 50 billion Berries instantly surged into his heart.

"Doflamingo, you're the one who stole the Op-Op Fruit, aren't you?"

Barrerus's eyes were filled with rage.

But 50 billion Berries! 50 billion Berries! That's equivalent to the bounty of the world's strongest man, "Whitebeard"!

Doflamingo looked at Barreus, who was blinded by money, with disdain.

"If that's the case, then I won't have to work so hard."

He originally thought that the theft of the Operation Fruit was a staged act by this guy.

Now it seems this guy isn't that smart.

"You're such a useless piece of trash, managing to let the Op-Op Fruit be stolen."

Doflamingo pulled out a pistol from his waist and fired two shots at the piece of trash.

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

Blood splattered everywhere.

Since this guy is no longer useful, there's no need to keep him alive.

Doflamingo emptied all the magazines in his pistol in a fit of rage before stopping.

This guy didn't deserve to be shot by him, but since the hope of immortality seemed to have been shattered, Doflamingo shot him.

The "execution" held special significance for Doflamingo.

The gun in his hand was the one he used to kill his father.

Barulez was somewhat fortunate to be killed by this gun.

Just then, Doflamingo suddenly sensed something and immediately turned to look at a certain spot on Minion Island.

"What happened over there?"

In his perception, a part of the birdcage suddenly became out of his control!

"Damn it, it's Tsuru."

That familiar feeling of the uncontrollable threads made Doflamingo immediately understand what was happening over there.

That's Vice Admiral Tsuru's ability to "wash the fruit".

However, the Op-Op Fruit has now been stolen, and the thief has not yet been found. But even if there is still a glimmer of hope, he cannot leave this place.

"Trebol, take the other officers and go check what's going on over there. If the navy comes, try to hold them off."

"I will use the parasite wire of the birdcage to cover you up."

Doflamingo immediately gave the order.

Upon hearing this, the Don Quixote family's officers immediately replied, "Yes, young master!"

Then they ignored the mountain of treasure piled up beside them—treasure that the Alrez Pirates had collected and hidden there.

"Act immediately and prepare to depart."
