"Corazon," Doflamingo began. It had been a few days since his little brother had returned and joined his crew, becoming the second Corazon while Vergo was sent on a mission to infiltrate the Marines.
The faux mute looked up from the book he was reading and to his elder brother. He picked up his notepad and scribbled down one word. "Yes?"
"Why do you wear all that makeup?"
The younger Donquixote Brother didn't expect that question. He had thought it'd be something about a mission or his whereabouts for the past fourteen years. But Doflamingo had decided to ask about his makeup.
'Why do I wear it?' Corazon asked himself, trying to recall the reason.
It was to disguise himself for during his infiltration of his brother's crew. If he didn't wear it, his face might be recognized from a Marine file, if Doflamingo ever got his hands on some of those folders. The makeup also prevented the Marine soldiers from identifying him too. Sengoku had taken extra precautions on not letting Rocinante be recognized by sending Tsuru's squad. The females most likely never saw him before save for Tsuru herself.
The blue spikes were suggested by one of his Navy friends, a maroon haired girl who was one rank above him. The color blue represented calmness and integrity. She also said it went with his brown eyes. He had decided the red lipstick smile himself. He wanted to always smile, not wanting to show his brother his sad side. Their mother and father wouldn't want him to be sad either. The makeup combined with his clumsiness made him resemble a clown.
"Corazon?" Doflamingo asked, noting his brother hadn't written a response yet.
Corazon snapped out of his flashback and wrote down his answer, showing it to his brother. "Because I'm a clown,"
