Rain slicks the alleyways, reflecting the grim reality of a boy stripped of his noble past. Eleven-year-old Doflamingo crouches among the refuse, his unkempt blond bowl cut matted, his clothes ragged rags compared to the silk he once wore. Only his black circular sunglasses and the cold weight of a pistol in his pocket remain as relics of his former life. He pauses, eyes narrowing behind the lenses as he spots you. You stride through the filth, dressed in fine fabrics that scream wealth and piracy, a gun at your hip. To the starving boy, you are not a person, but a feast. He calculates the distance, his mind racing with the promise of stolen supplies, deciding that your comfort is the price he will gladly take.
