Chapter 16: Donquixote Doflamingo

Chapter 16: Donquixote Doflamingo

__________ POV Narration__________

Word had reached Doflamingo that one of the pirates under him had lost to a rookie that had just entered the Grand Line and that had a much smaller bounty.

He was making his way toward Jaya with a smile on his face. He just happened to be nearby when he received the message, so he decided to visit his 'subordinate'.

What he didn't expect to find, was an actual bloodbath. The anger that Doflamingo felt was rather controlled, however.

He didn't really care about his 'subordinates', they were not part of his family, mere pawns that he wanted to just kick out of the family during this visit...

But this wasn't just about them. Doflamingo could tell from that distance that most of the pirates on that island were most likely either unconscious, pretending to be unconscious, dead or dying.

That was where his anger was coming from. He had plans for Jaya, he was using it for both recruitment and to spread his ideas of a 'New Age' to other impressionable pirates.

He had made quite a name for himself, so it was rather easy to convince others to follow his ideology.

Jaya was also a useful strategic point since the Marines couldn't touch it... It was filled to the brim with pirates of varying bounties. Hundreds ranging from 10 to 30 million.

It was not that the marines couldn't deal with them, it was just that they chose not to due to convenience, and Doflamingo was all for that.

It wasn't as if Jaya was the only such island in the Grand Line. The special thing about Jaya was that it was somewhat close to the beginning of the Grand Line.

Now, seeing one of the pirate hotspots in such a state filled him with indignation. He despised it when any of his plans were hindered or interrupted by anything.

He could see the culprit. A man well-dressed blond man, about 2.6 meters from Doflamingo's view. The man's most stand-out feature was his long earlobes, which seemed to extend to his waist.

Doflamingo also noticed that the man was very fond of gold, he wore golden accessories all over his body, from necklaces to earrings, to rings that adorned his every finger. Even his staff seemed to be made out of gold.

All of that gold wasn't usually common on your regular scoundrel. Which led to Doflamingo considering the fact that the perpetrator was most likely a noble of sorts.

Doflamingo scowled a bit as he struggled to remember if he knew this person from anywhere. In the end, he shook his head a bit and sped up towards the island.

'It doesn't matter who he is, he will have to pay for this.'

__________ POV Enel__________

I had forgotten about Doflamingo... I guess it was said that he reached the island not long after Luffy left it.

Now that I think about it, he also had a few associates on this island, although none were too important. He is actually here to basically disown the Bellamy Pirates.

He won't be able to do that in this reality, unfortunately. I tried my best to pull my punches wherever possible, but I don't want my devil fruit to be revealed in this fight.

I'm relatively sure that Bellamy himself survived, but I don't know much about the rest of his crew...

I find it odd... How easy killing now comes to me. The priests were easy to deal with, only 4 of them, and all of them were despicable people in their own right. Deserving of whatever fate I gave them...

But how exactly can I be sure that everyone in that massive group of pirates was truly scum?

I mean, they sure didn't seem innocent when coming in such a large group to rob me. But did they truly deserve to die? Is that something I truly have the right to decide in this world?

I guess that, even though Enel couldn't influence my personality, he still influenced parts of me that are a bit harder to notice.

I mean, he did blow up his birth island as well as everyone on it. So he is a mass murderer by all definitions.

But, I guess I never did have any sort of aversion to killing. It happened so often and it was depicted so casually back in my world that it had somewhat lost its meaning at some point.

'The marines are gaining another monster, huh? Well, this one's got his own agenda... I'll repay this favour one day...' Doflamingo thought as he rushed away, leaving the island behind him as he jumped further and further away, propelled by his strings.

__________ POV Enel__________

That went about as well as I expected it to.

I'm lucky I managed to surprise him with my speed, I wouldn't have been able to damage him using my staff otherwise.

All it would've taken is a coat of Armament Haki, and all of my physical attacks would have become useless.

I'm sure I could've still taken care of him, but I just would've had to use my devil fruit... I really need to get thoughts like that out of my head.

Relying too much on this power will only make me weak. If I don't learn armament, then I'm as good as useless against the higher powers of this world.

Hell, I think most of the First Mates of the Yonkos would be able to beat me as I am now, let alone the Yonko's themselves.

I can always escape, but running away forever isn't an option.

Doflamingo is far from a Yonko, thankfully.

Seeing his face in person was really annoying. Even now, he remains one of the most disgusting pirates alive. Opportunistic, Sadistic and extremely driven.

He managed to enslave an entire kingdom, turning their royal family into his playthings as he did whatever he pleased with everyone that disrespected him.

He uses and abuses his power wherever possible. If anyone deserved to die today, then it was him. Too bad that the circumstances don't allow that right now.

The marines need all of the power they can get, if I killed Doflamingo now, I surely would've gotten a bounty on my head instead of an invitation.

But their desperation is also why I am also confident they will accept me into their ranks.

Now... I should look around to find some way to contact the marines.

__________________________________________________________________

Heyy! The mc has no reason to fight Doffy now tbh, and he only won due to that first surprise attack, so don't lose your marbles for no reason.

Also, small(more like medium sized honestly) rant.

One Piece power levels are inconsistent. Powers and the way they affect others are also not always consistent.

A lot of people likely think that Enel shouldn't be this strong, but I've already said this, Enel's fruit gives him more firepower than Akainu, with a much greater speed.

Much like Kizaru, he can easily use his df ability to enhance his speed without turning into lightning. So his speed shouldn't come off as surprising.

If Akainu is allowed to burn people that use Haki(Like WB for example) with his weaker(less hot) devil fruit, then the mc should be able to fry them alive using the same logic that the world has established.

Enel was used as a throwaway villain far too soon in the series(kinda like Crocodile), but logically his devil fruit should be one of the strongest in the series, that much shouldn't even be up for debate.

I am a big fan of One Piece, but it's no secret that the series is filled with plot conveniences and moments where plot armour was prominent (much like any story).

A lot of characters were weakened badly in the first half of the show, just so that Luffy didn't die a horrible death in the War of the Greats.

If you think that this isn't accurate, then just take this as an AU (which it technically is since the MC is involved).

If u want to support me look up VeganMaster on Patre_on, you'd also get 10 chapters in advance (or 5 depending on tier)
