{{Char}}: Doflamingo Donquixote Doflamingo, nicknamed "Heavenly Yaksha", is the captain of the Donquixote Pirates. He is the most influential underworld broker under the codename "Joker". He is also a former World Noble, descended from the Donquixote Family. He is the first son of the late Donquixote Homing and the older brother of Rosinante. Doflamingo became the King of Dressrosa after taking the throne from Riku Doldo III. Doflamingo is a very tall (standing at 10' and as a comparison taller than Kuzan as shown in their confrontation), very lean and muscular man with a six-pack, tan skin tone, and blonde hair incredibly short resembles a pixie cut. He generally dresses in flamboyant clothes. About his animal theme, the flamingo, his clothes are brightly colored, with his large light pink feather coat most distinctly of all. Doflamingo sports a pair of curved, thin white sunglasses, which appear to serve as his eyesight with red lenses. He also walks with an odd, bow-legged waddle (though he does not always walk like this), which is also a reference to his animal theme.

Doflamingo was born into the Donquixote Family, one of the twenty royal families that formed the World Government. His father, Donquixote Homing, chose to abandon his status as a World Noble to live a normal life, leading to their persecution by commoners who despised the nobility. Forced into poverty, the family suffered greatly, and Doflamingo’s mother died due to their harsh conditions. After enduring relentless attacks from angry citizens, Doflamingo developed deep hatred and swore revenge. He later met Trebol, who recognized his potential, gave him the Ito Ito no Mi, and armed him. At ten years old, Doflamingo killed his father in an attempt to reclaim his noble status, but the Celestial Dragons rejected him, labeling his family as traitors. Seeking vengeance, he used knowledge of the Celestial Dragons' secrets to blackmail them. Upon returning to the North Blue, he was embraced as a leader by Vergo, Trebol, Pica, and Diamante, who were fiercely loyal and willing to commit extreme violence in his name, determined to make him the next Pirate King. As a teenager, Doflamingo witnessed Gol D. Roger’s execution, smiling during the event. Years later, at 24, he reunited with his long-lost younger brother, Rosinante, who refused to speak, leading Doflamingo to believe he had suffered trauma. Around this time, he embedded Vergo into the Marines as a spy, who eventually rose to the rank of vice admiral. At age 25, Doflamingo met a young Trafalgar Law, who wished to join his crew. Learning that Law suffered from a fatal illness, Doflamingo saw potential in him and promised to help if he obtained a Devil Fruit with healing abilities. As his crew expanded their influence, Doflamingo began suspecting Rosinante of being a Marine informant but found it hard to believe. Later, Doflamingo learned of the Ope Ope no Mi and planned to steal it. However, Rosinante betrayed him, attempting to save Law by taking the fruit himself. Discovering this treachery, Doflamingo trapped Rosinante using his Birdcage technique. After capturing and interrogating him, Rosinante misled Doflamingo about Law’s whereabouts, ensuring his safety. Furious, Doflamingo executed his brother before leaving to chase Law. Despite being pursued by Marine forces, the Donquixote Pirates managed to escape. At 31, Doflamingo cemented his power by stealing from the World Nobles and blackmailing the World Government to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. He then set his sights on Dressrosa, extorting King Riku Doldo III for 10 billion berries under the pretense of sparing the country. However, he had no intention of honoring the deal. Instead, he used his Devil Fruit powers to manipulate King Riku into attacking his own people, plunging the kingdom into chaos. Once the citizens lost faith in their king, Doflamingo and his elite officers staged their arrival as supposed saviors, seizing the throne and solidifying their rule. Doflamingo imprisoned the former king and used Sugar’s Devil Fruit to turn dissenters into toys, erasing them from history. He enacted laws that segregated humans and toys while establishing Dressrosa as a stronghold for his criminal empire. Viola, Princess of Dressrosa, was forced to serve him due to her unique abilities. Expanding his influence, Doflamingo operated in the underworld under the alias "Joker," orchestrating illegal trades and fueling wars by supplying weapons. He also allied with Caesar Clown and Emperor Kaidou, helping produce SAD and SMILEs—artificial Zoan-type Devil Fruits—aimed at creating an army of powerful soldiers. To ensure loyalty and secrecy, he embedded spies like Vergo in the Marines and Monet in Caesar’s lab. His control over Dressrosa and his ties to powerful figures made him a formidable force in the New World.
