I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Shocking! The true identity of Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, is actually...

"What kind of newspaper is this, daring to write about Doflamingo?"

"Is someone trying to expose JOKER's identity?"

Along the Grand Line, some people who knew the inside story were all holding newspapers, their brows furrowed.

Doflamingo is known as JOKER in the underworld, where he secretly engages in numerous illegal underground transactions.

After seeing this sensational headline, countless people bought the newspaper without hesitation and read on.

The text following the title was far beyond their expectations.

"As everyone knows, Doflamingo is always seen wearing red sunglasses, a pink feather coat, cropped trousers, and pointed shoes. He is the most stylish guy in the crowd."

"So here's the question: Doflamingo always seems to wear sunglasses, and no one has ever seen his true face behind them."

What secret lies behind this? Is it the distortion of human nature? Or the decline of morality?

Many people were speechless when they read this.

Some hot-tempered people immediately crumpled their newspapers into a ball.

"What the hell? Clickbait?"

"They're actually studying Doflamingo's appearance! I'm impressed!"

"I really thought someone would dare to expose JOKER's true colors..."

"It turns out to be a sensationalist piece of trash newspaper."

Many people were greatly disappointed and prepared to throw away the newspaper.

But at this moment, they felt a little itchy, and their curiosity couldn't be suppressed.

Yes.

Why does Doflamingo always wear those sunglasses? No one has ever seen his real face.

I've already bought this lousy newspaper, so reading this news article won't take long anyway...

They unfolded the crumpled newspaper again and continued reading.

"According to a man who wished to remain anonymous, he has seen Doflamingo's true face and left a hand-drawn portrait with this reporter..."

At the very bottom of the article is a portrait.

Chapter 164 Conversation with Doflamingo

"It was a pleasure working with you. I look forward to our next collaboration, JOKER."

Deep within a city, an underground tycoon has just finalized an arms deal with Doflamingo.

Having finalized the deal, both men were in good spirits as they walked out of the living room.

However, when the subordinates of the big boss saw the sunglasses on Doflamingo's face next to their leader, they couldn't help but chuckle.

The suppressed laughter, seemingly forced and barely contained, sounded particularly jarring in the quiet environment.

The underground tycoon quickly glanced at Doflamingo, and seeing that the latter did not seem angry, he frowned and reprimanded his subordinates.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Sorry, boss, we didn't mean it, hahaha..."

One of his subordinates responded with a look of fear, but before he could finish speaking, he couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault for not disciplining my subordinates properly."

The underground tycoon's voice turned colder as he drew a gun from his waist and pointed it at his subordinate's forehead.

"Boss, we really didn't mean it. It's just because of a recent newspaper article."

As he spoke, the subordinate took a newspaper out of his pocket and handed it to his boss.

"It's shameful that you've become so rude because of a newspaper."

The underground tycoon's voice grew even colder, his face hardening, indicating he was already intent on killing.

He glanced through it briefly, and his gaze fell upon the hand-drawn photograph at the very end of the article.

Pfft~~~

He couldn't help but laugh out loud.

However, he realized his mistake as soon as he spoke, so he coughed lightly, forcibly controlling his emotions, and crumpled the newspaper into a ball and stuffed it into his clothes.

"You guys seem to be having a lot of fun? Aren't you going to share it with me?"

Beside him, Doflamingo's lips curled into a smile, revealing a set of neat white teeth, a smile that inspired awe.

His eyes were hidden behind his sunglasses, so his gaze was obscured.

This sent a shockwave through many, including underground tycoons.

"JOKER, no need."

The underground tycoon refused outright, but his expression turned strange when he saw Doflamingo's sunglasses, and he struggled to suppress his laughter.

No! I can't look at his glasses!

Otherwise, the inside photos in the newspapers will come again! Forget it, forget it!

The strange expression on the face of the underground tycoon made Doflamingo's forehead veins gradually bulge.

What newspaper? What exactly happened?

Doflamingo twitched his finger, and a thin white thread silently extended from his fingertip. With a gentle flick, it pulled the newspaper that the underground tycoon had stuffed into his arms back out.

The newspaper fell into Doflamingo's hands and was unfolded.

Doflamingo's smile froze instantly.

He didn't speak.

The red sunglasses he was wearing suddenly cracked with a soft click.

It cracked.

Wanwudao News Agency Branch.

Sieg sat in the editor-in-chief's office, leisurely sipping his tea.

Before him, the middle-aged, gentlemanly editor-in-chief was pacing anxiously back and forth in the room, completely unable to remain calm.

"Mr. Sieg, things have gotten out of control!"

"Even if that newspaper was published in Mr. Sig's name, with Doflamingo's power, it's only a matter of time before he traces it back to us!"

"Just now, he called and warned our editor-in-chief, not only suspecting that this matter is related to our news agency, but also asking us to publish a clarification report tomorrow to prove that he doesn't have beady eyes under his sunglasses."

When the topic of beady eyes came up, the editor-in-chief, who was initially extremely anxious, almost burst out laughing.

"Furthermore, Mr. Sig, you published that tabloid under the name of 'Tieba News Agency,' and Doflamingo may have already traced it back to you."

"No rush, this is within my expectations."

Sieg took a sip of tea and began:

"Give me Doflamingo's phone number, I want to talk to him myself."

"Don't tell me your president doesn't have Doflamingo's phone number."

A moment later.

Sig sat alone in his room and dialed Doflamingo's number.

"Doflamingo, I'm curious about something."

Sieg asked:

"It should be very simple for you to clarify this matter; all you need to do is put a picture of your real face in the newspaper."

"But you didn't..."

Sieg glanced at the newspaper sample on the table.

Doflamingo's clarification news has indeed been written, but it is only a textual description and there are no photographic evidence.

This couldn't help but make Sieg's mind wander.

"Could it be that you really do have beady eyes?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, but no answer was given to Sieg's question.

"Are you Sig? Is Morgans helping you promote the newspaper? In this world, he's the only one who can spread a news story so quickly in such a short time."

Doflamingo's voice was cold.

"Doflamingo, I advise you to stop investigating."

"If you continue to threaten Morgans, don't blame me for releasing more bombshells."

Sieg said in a low voice.

Are you trying to threaten me, Sieg?

Hearing that eerie voice, Sieg still felt uneasy, even though he had prepared himself mentally beforehand.

Sieg forced himself to continue reciting the lines he had already prepared:

"Don Quixote Doflamingo, I know far more than you can imagine."

"For example, your past identity as a Celestial Dragon, and the matter of the Dressrosa Kingdom..."

“If you try to interfere with the publication of my Baidu Tieba newsletter, I will expose everything.”

The few words Siegfried uttered caused Doflamingo's expression to change drastically on the other end of the phone.

Who exactly are you? What do you want?

He suddenly thought of many, many things.

From the secret of the Celestial Dragons' national treasure that Higuma mentioned in Loguetown, to the things he's talking about now, everything is taboo...
