Summary: Gladius encounters a pink flamingo, a black flamingo, and a snow leopard cub. However, he can't seem to distinguish them from Doflamingo, Corazon, and Law!


Doflamingo, Trebol, Diamante, and Pica were in town, attending a meeting with the mayor. Corazon didn't go with them because they didn't want the town hall burn to the ground. Currently, the rest of the family were staring into the kitchen where Gladius was.

With the blue haired man were a pink flamingo, a black flamingo, and a snow leopard cub. However, Gladius was acting like it wasn't a big deal. "Young Master, I've finished cooking you, Corazon, and Law some fried fish to eat,"

Baby 5 and Buffalo were giggling, their hands over their mouths to prevent Gladius from hearing them. "He thinks those three are Young Master, Cora-san, and Law!"

"How the hell does Gladius not notice that those are real animals?" Law asked. "And I'm pretty sure Corazon is a clumsier idiot than that flamingo," That last part caused Corazon to hit Law's head.

The black flamingo took one step towards the dining table and immediately tripped, falling onto his back. The snow leopard nuzzled him to make sure he was alright.

"Okay, they might be equally as clumsy," Law received another punch from the clown.

"Should we tell him?" Senor Pink asked.

"No-iin," Machvise answered. "I want to see how long this goes on for,"

Baby 5 and Buffalo pushed Law into the kitchen. Everyone's eyes were on him now. "Two Law's?" Gladius looked between the snow leopard cub and the human ten year old. He just shrugged and brushed it off. "Law must have a twin brother or something," He set another plate of fried fish for the boy.

"I'm leaving," Law was about to walk away but the black flamingo grabbed him by his shirt and placed him in the empty seat.

"Mrow," The cub waved to Law.

"Hi," Law greeted flatly and unenthusiastically.

The pink flamingo pushed Law's plate of fish closer to the boy and squawked.

"Law, Young Master is telling you to eat," Gladius said.

Law face palmed. "They're animals!"

"Law, insulting Young Master will not be tolerated," Gladius warned.

Doflamingo and his three executives returned a few hours later with a blue porcupine. "Hey guys, is it me or is Gladius a lot smaller?"

"Young Master, that's not Gladius," Lao G said. "Young! Gladius! There's the G!"

"But he's blue, spiky, and he calls me Young Master," Doflamingo pointed out.

"The porcupine actually spoke," Diamante told them. "But what's with the flamingos and snow leopard cub?"

"Gladius thought they were Young Master, Cora-san, and Law," Baby 5 informed. "Then we pushed Law to them and Gladius just acted as if it were normal. He thinks Law has a twin brother,"

"Why are there two Young Masters?" The porcupine looked between the pink flamingo and Doflamingo.

"Gladius there you are," The pink flamingo greeted. "Corazon put the man-cub down. We're leaving now that we found Gladius,"

"Mine," The black flamingo hugged Law in one wing and the snow leopard cub in the other. "Both are mine,"

"Corazon, put the man-cub down," The pink flamingo repeated.

The black flamingo narrowed his eyes and bolted, tripping along the way but quickly regained his footing. "NO! THEY'RE MINE!"

"PUT THE MAN-CUB BACK ROCINANTE!"

"Here are some carrots, potatoes, and fruit, Gladius," Gladius placed a bowl of the food items on the floor for the porcupine to eat.

The Donquixote Pirates all face-palmed and groaned except for Doflamingo. "So why do we have two Gladius's?" They all groaned once more at their captain's question.


Yep…Gladius couldn't identify Donquixote Doflaemon nor could he identify two flamingos and a snow leopard.
