1 Chapter 1: This Young Master Doesn't Want to Eat the String-String Fruit!

Flevance is called the White Town by the world, because it is the only country in the world that has deposits of Amber Lead ore.

Because of its monopoly on Amber Lead, Flevance is one of the richest countries in the North Blue.

At this time, in the courtyard of a certain manor in Flevance, a man with short blond hair was lying on a recliner.

The man looks young, and his eyebrows seem to have not fully grown, so he looks a little immature, like a boy of sixteen or seventeen.

However, he has a powerful aura that doesn't match his youthful appearance. At first glance, people feel that he must be in his twenties.

Just as the man was resting here quietly, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the courtyard.

Soon, a man in a black suit, wearing brown-black sunglasses, and with a cigarette in the corner of his mouth walked into the courtyard.

He had a very elegant demeanor and looked like a polite gentleman.

Hearing this movement, the man who was lying on the recliner turned his head slightly. He casually picked up the orange sunglasses that were placed on the table beside him, put them on the bridge of his nose, and covered his eyes.

"Senor..." the man sat up and called softly.

That's right, the man who walked into the courtyard was a cadre of the North Blue Donquixote Family named Senor Pink. At this time, he was handsome, calm and elegant, and he hadn't become a ridiculous pervert like he would after the tragedy.

"My lord." Senor walked a few steps, stopped and responded.

Undoubtedly, the one he called "Young Master" was Don Quixote Doflamingo.

Doflamingo's life in the original had been exciting and full of ups and downs.

He who was once a Celestial Dragon, gradually became the representative of the dark side of the North Blue, the middleman of the underworld, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the King of Dressrosa.....and finally, a prisoner at Impel Down.

But none of that matters now, because Doflamingo, at the age of ten, changed from what he was in the story.

I still remember that when I came to my senses, I was at Mariejois in the body of Doflamingo, and in front of him was a group of grotesque Celestial Dragons, surrounding him on all sides, shaming and humiliating him.

And Doflamingo held a human head in his hand.

It was his father's head. Fed up with this naive and stupid father, Doflamingo killed his father himself when he was ten years old, took his head, and wanted to return to Mariejois and become a Celestial Dragon again.

But it turns out that's not feasible.

He was humiliated at Mariejois, and was kicked out of there in embarrassment.

This weird and unexplainable soul crossing did not bring on any unnecessary side effects.

No one found any problems with him, not even 'Doflamingo' himself, and even the Conqueror's Haki that he was born with could still be used.

After being humiliated on Mariejois, Doflamingo did not make any drastic moves. He returned to North Blue, and eventually, he was enshrined as king by Trebol and other freaks who had seen his Conqueror's. He established the Donquixote Family, and kept constantly growing his power in the North Blue.

It seems like everything is the same as in the original story, but there are also some differences.

For example... when Trebol and others took out the String-String Fruit from their collection and wanted to dedicate it to Doflamingo, making him a Paramecia· String-String Fruit user, they were refused by the young Doflamingo.

This young master doesn't want to eat the String-String Fruit!

Therefore, Doflamingo at this time is not a devil fruit user!

After stretching his muscles slightly, Doflamingo asked again: "How is it?"

"We have successfully bribed some ministers in Flevance. Trebol has obtained a five-year Amber Lead mining license from the mining department of Flevance, and at the same time won six projects with a total of ten percent of the current exploration output of rich Amber Lead ore." Senor reported the situation calmly.

That's right, the reason why the Donquixote Family came to Flevance this time is because the mining agreement signed with Flevance two years ago has expired, and Doflamingo also intends to expand this business, so he came here with a group of cadres in person.

So far, things seem to be going well.

Doflamingo tapped lightly on the small round table beside him with his slender fingers, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Very well, according to the plan, all the Amber Lead except for the share given to the world government will be sold in the underworld."

The royal family of Flevance has a very close relationship with the world government. The mining of Amber Lead cannot bypass the world government at all. No matter who you are or what your status is, as long as you mine Amber Lead in Flevance, you have to pay 30% of the proceeds to the world government as compensation, otherwise, Flevance will not give you mining rights.

At this time, neither Doflamingo nor the Donquixote Family are qualified to say 'no' to the world government, so even the little bully of North Blue has to follow the rules honestly.

"No problem. The previous two years of experiments have proved that the profit of Amber Lead smuggling in the underground world is much higher than that from formal channels." Senor immediately responded.

The Donquixote Family itself is the largest smuggling gang in North Blue, so even though Amber Lead can be legally mined and sold in Flevance, in order to maximize profits, the Donquixote Family decided to flow Amber Lead into the underground world for sale.

On one hand, you can earn more, and on the other hand, you can also use the rarity of Amber Lead to further expand your network of relationships in the underworld.

"Fufufufu, the business this time is much smoother than I expected..." Doflamingo said with a slight smile as the corners of his mouth curled up.

"This also proves that under your leadership, Young Master, our Donquixote Family is stronger and more influential than it was two years ago...at least in the North Blue." Senor also smiled.

"It's still far away from what we dream of..." Doflamingo shook his head slightly, and then said with some disgust: "The dust in the air in Flevance always makes me feel uncomfortable."

"The toxin of Amber Lead only volatilizes at the moment when it comes into contact with the air, young master, your problem is a psychological effect." Senor joked with a smile.

"Do you dare to believe everything the world government says?" Doflamingo said disdainfully.

To the outside world, the mining of Amber Lead is no different from the mining of other minerals, and there is no unnecessary risk, but for a very small number of people, they know that the world government discovered a long time ago that when mining it, the moment it comes into contact with the air, a small amount of toxin will be released, and the toxin is genetic in nature!

However, Doflamingo will never fully believe anything said by the world government, and there could be other side effects unknown to even a transmigrator like himself. It is better to have less contact with Amber Lead.

Just when Doflamingo was chatting with Senor, the phone bug that was placed on the side table suddenly rang.

Glancing at the phone bug, Doflamingo's eyes under the orange sunglasses suddenly lit up. He raised his hand to pick up the phone bug and said, "Diamante... I hope you have some good news for me."

"Doffy, I found news about Sleeping Ancient Town!" Diamante said hurriedly on the Den Den Mushi.

Doflamingo's breathing became a little quicker, and with anticipation in his eyes, he quickly asked, "What's the news?"

"An antique relic smuggler on Minion Island said that when he was young, he had read books about Sleeping Ancient Town in the Tree of Knowledge at Ohara, the archaeological holy land of West Blue. Perhaps there would be records about Sleeping Ancient Town there!" Diamante responded.

Doflamingo was stunned for a moment, and then said with some annoyance: "I should have thought of it a long time ago... there should be clues in that damn place Ohara!"

Sleeping Ancient Town, a lost island that has been forgotten in history, hides a Devil Fruit that even Red Earl Patrick Redfield covets!

(T/N: I've found nothing about where Redfield got his devil fruit from in the game, so I don't know what the translation for 'Sleeping Ancient Town' is. If you do, please leave it in the comments.)

And Donquixote Doflamingo also wants to get that Devil Fruit!
