Flashback dream
A little girl ran crying into the arms of a red haired woman. Her face was blurred and she could not tell what her features were. "Mommy!" she cried. "They were being mean to me. All I did was do the spell you showed me. I wanted to make friends with that boy. He was hurt so I thought to heal him".
"Oh, my darling daughter," the woman said as she pulled her the little girl into a hug. "I should have warned you about using magic in front of people. Humans do not understand this ability. They tend to judge and discriminate about things they do not understand. You are special and never let anyone say otherwise."
Later that evening, as she placed the small child to bed, after they had eaten supper, the girl said, "Mommy, why don't I have a name like everyone else?"
The woman just smiled at the question and said, "If I were to give you a name, I could only think of a mage's name. Since I can't return to Alakitasia with you, a mage's name would not suit you."
"Ala-tis-a? What's that mommy?" the young girl asked, yawning as she yawned.
She smiled as she recalled a distant memory, "It's Alakitasia, an island located on the Grand-Line. It is the island I was born on, a country that can only be found by mages. The World Government and pirates can't get to this island without proper invitation. We even have our own government."
As she looked at the young girl who had fallen asleep, she smiled as a tear dropped from her eye. Why did everything have to go so bad? Why did her brother come up with that crazy law? She sighed as she got undressed and lay next to her daughter.
The memories she had with her brother were they had wanted to open the country so that everyone could come and go. They could finally be part of the World Government and not isolated as they have been for more than 800 years.
It was like he was being controlled by some form of dark magic. Her eyes suddenly snapped open, 'That had to be it. There is no way that he would make a stupid law like that. 'Though, who could it be? Dark magic was forbidden on Alakitasia. It was punishable by death if anyone was caught using it.'
The next day as they were eating breakfast the little girl was quite as deep in thought. "What's wrong, my child?" the mother asked.
The little girl just sighed and said, "I had a weird dream last night."
"Oh really," she said as she took the dishes off the table and took brought them to the kitchen. "What was it about?"
"I saw a freaky tall man with pink feathers around his shoulders. He was holding you in his arms and you looked happy. Like I never saw you before, you were smiling a real smile not the ones you show me," she said
"Are you sure that's what you saw?" asked the mother.
She nodded, "Mommy, did I do something wrong?"
The mother sighed as she pulled her in a hug, but as she was about to say something, there was a knock at the door. "Melisandre, please can you come to my house! My daughter, she passed out when she was eating breakfast."
Melisandre sighed as she opened the door, "Yonhi-san, wait a second. Do you have payment for me treating her?"
The man sighed and pulled out a wad of cash and said "50,000 Beli as your price says. But you will be able to cure her! She passed out and no matter what we do she won't wake up. We even had the village doctor come to look at her and he also doesn't know what is wrong!" He grabbed onto Melisandre, crying. "She is my only child! I couldn't bear it if something were to happen to her.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine," Melisandre said calmly as she took the man's hands off of her.
She went to the bedroom and grabbed a bag that was full of different colored bottles. As she was about to go out, she took her small daughter to the side. "Will you be alright on your own?" she asked. The little girl nodded as Melisandre wrapped the girl in a hug. "Remember no magic around other kids and villagers." She kissed her on her forehead and walked out the door following the balding man, leading her to his house.
Later that evening as Melisandre had her daughter in a basin for a bath. She said, "I want to talk to you about the dream you had."
"What for? It was just a dream," she said as Melisandre shampooed her hair.
"It was not just a dream. The man with pink feathers you saw was your father. I was young when I met him. I was just sixteen years old and he swept me off my feet. I didn't want to fall in love with a human, but I guess you can't consider him human either," she laughed. "But you have a special gift if you are able to glimpse into the past like that. You are a seer like my grandmother was." She poured water over the girl's head as the soap was washed away.
"What's a seer, mommy?" she asked as she stepped out the basin and her mother started drying her off with a towel.
She smiled as she said, "A seer is a person who can see into the past, future, and present. Though as Grandmother explained to me; the visions happen randomly and you have no control over it. Plus seeing the future is tricky business. Let's hope you may never have to suffer because of this talent.
Since you are young I guess you can't control the power yet. Visions will happen randomly. With this power you can even save close friends if you know the future. Though, it will not always work in your favor. Well that is how Baba explained it to me."
The little girl put on a white, cotton nightgown as she asked, "Tell me more about my daddy."
Melisandre laughed as the little girl sat on the chair in the kitchen. She started brushing out her hair. "Well, it's not a wonder you want to know more about him. He will give you your name in the future. His name is Doflamingo DonQuixote."
"Do-la-ingo Don-iote," the little girl tried to say but still struggled with the words.
Melisandre laughed as she said, "It is a bit difficult for you to pronounce his name as it is a bit long. His name is Doflamingo DonQuixote."
"Dofl-ingo, Dofla-mingo, Doflamingo," she the girl smiled. As she was able to pronounce the name correctly.
Melisandre just ruffled her hair as and she covered her daughter up with the blanket. "He is very tall and has the same blonde hair and shape of eyes as like you do. Though he is tan skinned, not as fair skinned like you or me. Plus, he carries himself like a king. I guess that is expected as he used to be a God, a Celestial Dragon. Love is really a funny thing."
She noticed her daughter had fallen asleep. Melisandre smiled as she closed the door quietly and walked out of the home. She did not return until the early morning rays of the sun had started to appear. As she quietly entered the house she stumbled onto something, which turned out to be her daughter sleeping on the floor. As Melisandre looked at her daughter while she the little girl slept, she had a sad smile on her face like this was the last time she would see her daughter sleeping peacefully like this.
A little bit later in the morning, the girl small child woke up and walked into the kitchen. When she saw her mother, who was busy writing something at the table, she ran to her and said, "Mommy! Where were you? I had a nightmare last night!"
Melisandre hugged her as she cried on her mother's lap[remove space] and said, "I had to take care of some things for someone. What was your nightmare about?"
She lifted her head as she said, "You left me alone and the people in the village put me in a cage."
Melisandre eyes snapped wide as she stroked her daughters hair. She really is the destined child if she could tell that. She was starting to see into the future. Melisandre did not know about the cage part and hoped nothing like that would ever happen to her. It must mean she truly was a seer. It means every prediction Baba had told Melisandre before she left Alakitasia must also be true. She sighed as she picked up her daughter and placed the child her in her lap.
"I am leaving," she said. "Though I want you to be strong. No matter what happens, you must be strong. You are a daughter of a God, a Celestial Dragon and a princess. I am sorry I can't take you with me meat this time , but you will have to be strong. One day, either me or your father will come back for you. Then you will be in safe hands and treated as the princess that you are."
The next day she stood by her mother as she looked at the huge ship that would take her mother away. Mr. Yonhi also stood close by with them. Melisandre turned to face him and said, "You will take care of her, until I return? Yonhi nodded and said, "Yes, I will. I gave you my word."
Melisandre bent down so she was at eye level with her young daughter who was crying as she was holding onto Yonhi's hand. "Remember what I said," she said softly so Yonhi did not hear. "Be careful when you use your magic. Also, I want you to make me a vow."
"Vow?" the little girl asked.
"A vow is like a promise. It's a type of promise you will do anything to keep," Melisandre tried her best to explain to the child.
"Okay, mommy. I will make a vow," she said.
Melisandre smiled as she said, "I want you to promise me no matter how difficult or how hard it may get, that you won't leave this island. Good days are always shining in the future. So until either I or your father come to get you, don't leave. Wait for us." She hugged her small daughter a last good-bye as she got up and made her way toward the ship that was ready to set sail.

Present
Doflamingo entered his hideout as he heard voices coming from downstairs. He figured his family was eating dinner since it was already late. As he went downstairs and entered the dining room he saw everyone seated and eating.
"Doffy, come eat, we just started," Diamante said after he took a drink from his wine glass.
"Trebol! Diamante! Why did you not call as I asked? Or did Buffalo and Baby 5 not deliver my message?" Doflamingo asked as he looked at each of them in turn.
"Ne Ne," Trebol said. He took a bite of sausage on a fork. "We tried, Doffy. The baby snail could not reach yours. The island was probably too far away to catch the signal waves."
"Come to my room when you're finished, I've a job for you," Doflamingo told Diamante.
As he was about to leave, "Young Master aren't you going to eat?" Gladius asked.
"No, I will eat later," Doflamingo said as he turned and left the room.
He made his way to his own bedroom upstairs, where a large bed, specially made for his tall frame, rested on one side. A medium sized wooden closet that served as storage for all his clothes took up another corner of the room. Thankfully, no one in the dining room had noticed the child he was hiding underneath his coat.
Pulling back the silky pink sheets, he laid the small girl on the bed, then covered her with a white blanket as well. After draping his feathery coat on a chair, he placed the books and letters on the wooden barrel that rested beside the chair and next to a window.
Grabbing the wine bottle from the window sill, he poured himself a drink before sitting on the purple sofa chair. He sipped at the wine absentmindedly, thinking on the fact that despite it being a weird day, it was also a lucky one. A smile pulled at his lips at the thought.
Diamante walked in and asked, "Doffy, What is it that you wanted me to do?"
Doflamingo stood and as he walked to the bed, and sat sitting on the edge. The little girl was having difficulty breathing He began to worry as she breathed as it looked as she was having difficulty. "I found a treasure," he said. Diamante finally noticed the small girl in Doffy's bed. "That is why I need you to find a doctor as fast as you can."
"I can't take such a big responsibility," Diamante said as he put his hands up.
"I know you can. You are the only one who will be able to do it," Doflamingo said.
"No, I am not the right person for this type of responsibility." Diamante said[period]
"All right, I will ask someone else," Doflamingo said.
"Doffy, all right! I will do it, If you insist," Diamante said.
Doflamingo smiled as Diamante walked out. It was always a game when talking to Diamante. He knew he could never refuse him. Since he was one of the members who was with him from the start. Since he knew about his past as a Celestial Dragon. Only the top four executives knew about that.

There was another knock on the door. He went to the door, opened it, and saw Jora with a plate of food in her hands. "Young Master, I thought you might be hungry so I got you food."
There was another knock on the door. Doflamingo He went to the door, opened it and saw Jora with a plate of food in her hands. "Young Master, I thought you might be hungry so I got you food."
"I'm not hungry, but I have something I want you to do for me," Doflamingo said as a smile crept to his lips. He took the plate of food and placed it on his chair as Jora walked in.
He pointed to the girl laying on the bed who, besides the apparent sweat on her skin, was breathing quite heavily. She looked to be in a lot of pain as she was struggling to breathe.
"Who's the girl?" asked Jora.
Doflamingo smirked as he perched on top of the chair near the window. "She's someone I found today, from the frozen island we passed the other day. If she actually possesses the ability I think she has, she will be part of the family. If not I'll have no use for her. I sent Diamante to find a doctor. She passed out when I was talking to her. We can't lose her because I can't have her die just yet. I believe she'll be a great asset to increase the power of the crew," Doflamingo grinned. "She will be your responsibility. In one week confirm if she has the Hie Hie no Mi or any other power."
Once she gets better, I want you to take care of her. Anything she may need let me know."
"Young Master, Of course I will take care of her," Jora said.
"Good, I hope to get good news," Doflamingo said.
Doflamingo dismissed Jora her from his presence and she left, slowly closing the door. He did not know why, but this young girl drew him to her for some apparent reason. He never felt worry for anyone before like this, only his younger brother when he had disappeared after that incident. He turned away from her, went to the window, and poured himself a glass of wine to chase these strange thoughts away.
-PageBreakPageBreak-PageBreakPageBreak-PageBreakPageBreak-
Doflamingo had fallen asleep on the chair next to the window. The plate of food that Jora had brought earlier lay shattered close by. He shouldn't have gotten that angry, but flashes of the past always plagued his dreams and there was no wine at hand. So, he had thrown the closest thing to calm down.
He worked the stiffness out of his neck, idly gazing out the window, only to notice that night had already fallen. He turned towards his bed and looked at the little girl. Her breathing had become raspier and she looked as on the verge of death. Where the hell was Diamanté?
A knock on the door snapped him out of his thoughts, there stood Diamanté. Speak of the Devil! He walked in followed by a short, balding man looking to be in his late thirty's.
"Doffy, I know it took a long time, but I finally found the only doctor available." Doflamingo turned to the man, gave a slight nod and smirked. The man was showing no fear of them, even though they were notorious pirates of the North Blue.
"I am Doctor Dooms," he said professionally. "I require upfront payment of 100,000 Beri before I look at the patient."
Doflamingo raised an eyebrow in amusement. In coming here and trying to order him around, he must not realize he was dealing with pirates. Silently, he shook his head. Diamante was going to attack the doctor for disrespecting him. Diamanté went back to where he stood before, keeping a wary eye on the doctor.
With an amused smile, Doflamingo asked, "Do you realize who you are dealing with?"
"Pirate DonQuixote Doflamingo. The Heavenly Demon. Bounty of 100,000 Beri," Dr. Dooms said.
"Fufufu," Doflamingo laughed. Diamante had brought an interesting character. "You seem to be well informed. I will give you 30,000 Beri and no more."
"Then I will not treat the patient," Dr. Dooms said.
Doflamingo stretched his smile. "Oh, really? You're a doctor. I am sure you don't want anyone to die. I can feel that girl is close to death, I want her to be part of my crew, but if she has lost her usefulness, I don't need her."
What he said was true, the doctor gritted his teeth, "Fine, I will look over the patient."
Smirking, Doflamingo walked over to the closet. Inside one of the drawers, he opened a secret compartment and took out a pack of money. Walking over to the doctor, he peeled off six bills. Dr. Dooms sighed; he could never deny a patient. He took the money.
"Smart man," said Doflamingo.
"This is for ONE treatment," Dr. Dooms said.
"No, I won't pay a Beri more until she is completely healed," said Doflamingo.
"Where is the patient?" Dr. Dooms finally asked.
"In the bed," Doflamingo pointed to the corner of the room where the bed stood.
Dr. Dooms walked over to the bed with concern on his face. He pulled back the blanket and sheets to examine the child. After a few minutes, he gasped and shouted, "Bring me a bucket, towel, and some drinking water."
Doflamingo nodded and went to sit on the edge of the bed as Diamante walked out, slamming the door behind him.
"What is wrong with her?" Doflamingo asked.
"It seems that she purposely ate Dirari. It is commonly found in this region, but not so much in this town. It is a purple- budded plant that causes numbness if you touch it. The numbness will pass after a couple of hours. This plant is also used in many medical practices. Though, if eaten, it becomes dangerous. It can numb the heart and stop it. You're lucky I came here in time! She would have died in a couple more hours. She is also very malnourished."
Diamante walked in with Baby 5. She was carrying a bucket, Diamante a glass and pitcher of water.
"Good! Thanks," Dr. Dooms said.
As Baby 5 walked over to the doctor and gave him the bucket with a towel inside, Dr. Dooms said, "I need someone's help to hold her."
Diamante walked over to the window and was about to place the glass and pitcher on top of some books that were on a barrel when Doflamingo held out his hand.
Diamante was surprised. These books seemed important, but thought nothing more of it as he gave the pitcher and glass to Doflamingo.
"I can help," Baby 5 said.
"I need someone with a little more strength," Dr. Dooms said kindly to her.
Baby 5 pouted but skipped over to Doflamingo. "Young Master-sama, who is that?" she asked.
"What are you doing here?" he asked looking at her.
"I saw Diamante-sama so I decided to help him." She said.
"I see," Doflamingo said.
"If the doctor manages to save her life, she may become our new crew member." Doflamingo said.
Meanwhile, Diamante held the girl over the bucket. The Doctor took a white-gray pill from inside his coat and inserted it in her mouth. A few minutes later, she started retching, but nothing came out.
"Just as I thought, being malnourished, there is nothing in her stomach," Dr. Dooms muttered. "Girl, bring that pitcher and glass over here."
Baby 5 took the pitcher and glass from Doflamingo and carefully walked toward the doctor, trying not to spill it.
"Now, hold her upright," Dr. Dooms said to Diamante. He took the pitcher from Baby 5 and poured some water into the glass. As Diamante adjusted how he held her, Dr. Dooms tilted her head back, slightly, so she could drink the water.
As soon as the water reached her stomach she retched a bit of the plant into the bucket. He kept repeating the process until he was sure her stomach was empty. Then he had Diamante laid her down so he could look her over. Doflamingo dismissed Diamante and Baby 5, he did not need them there.
"Most of the plant is out of her stomach. I will return in the morning to flush the numbness out of her system. She should be fine 'till morning. I would like to take a blood sample before I leave," Dr. Dooms said.
"Very well," said Doflamingo. "Is her life still in danger?"
"No, though if anything changes come get me," Dr. Dooms said as he turned her arm over, locating the vein with deft, practiced fingers. With a swift movement he pierced the vein and as he took a vial out of his coat. He watched coolly as blood immediately began filling the vial, then took the needle out of her arm and wrapped a bandage around the pierced vein. He pocketed the vial and finally made his way out.
Doflamingo watched the Doctor leave with a grin on his face. He changed into something more comfortable to wear as he looked at the small girl in his bed. She barely took up any room. Although her breathing was steady, pain was still etched on her face.
"I'll give her a room tomorrow." After all, he couldn't afford to lose sleep because of this little girl.
As he looked up at the celling he couldn't help but think that with this girl's power, he would be able to make his plans come to fruition a lot faster.
-PageBreakPageBreak-PageBreakPageBreak-PageBreakPageBreak-
Doflamingo opened his eyes, blinking the grogginess from his eyes as someone knocked a second time. It was strange, he had never slept this well. At least, in a long time. This night no dreams plagued him. He noticed that he had his arm wrapped around the blond haired girl. He noticed she was also sleeping peacefully. He quickly took his arm back in surprise. He heard a knocking for the third time.
"What is it?" Doflamingo asked as he called out and carefully got out of the bed so as not to disturb her.
"Breakfast will be served in an hour," a member of his crew said behind the door.
Doflamingo went and opened the door, and there stood a brown haired man in khaki pants and black t-shirt. "Tell Jora to come see me right away."
"Yes, Young Master-sama," the man said as he turned to leave.
Doflamingo went back inside and put on his black dress shirt with a pink tie and white pants with a fiery red design. He heard a knock and in walked Jora with a smile. "You needed something from me, Young Master-sama."
"Yes, we have a few storage rooms we don't really use. I want you to make one into a bedroom for her," Doflamingo said as he pointed toward the girl from the bed."I want it done before breakfast starts."
Jora looked at the clock that was hanging in Doflamingo's room and said, "That is in forty minutes. It's nowhere enough time to get a room ready."
"Oh really?" Doflamingo asked smiling. "Very well I give you at most fifty minutes. We have enough people to help you with this. Take anyone you want except the executives. Breakfast will be delayed by ten minutes."
"Yes, Young Master-sama" Jora said as she left the room. Hoping she would able to finish everything in the time limit Doflamingo gave her.
Doflamingo and the rest of his family were eating in the dining room after they had moved the small girl to her own room. "Doffy, are you sure about keeping that girl? That's another kid. It's turning into a daycare," Diamante said.
"Fufufu," laughed Doflamingo, taking a sip of wine. "If she truly does possess the Hie Hie No Mi it would be a great asset to us. Her powers will be useful once she learns to control them. And there is no way in hell I'm letting the marines take such a treasure. So until I can confirm that she actually possesses the ability I won't let anyone have her.""
"That is why we should get rid of her," Pica said in a high pitched voice. "If the Marines find out we have her it's not only Tsuru we will have to worry about."
Doflamingo just smiled. "We have nothing to worry about. Plus,the Marines think the island is empty and are probably searching for clues on who could have attacked that island. As long as she don't use that ability to have the Marines notice, everything should be fine. That is why we will keep her a secret until the time is right. Once we finish business here in North Blue, we will head to Grand-Line. Then it will be too late if the marines find out about her."
Suddenly they heard commotion outside the dining room and shouting. "You can't disturb the family while they are eating!"
"If Doflamingo wants to cure that girl he will greet me since there is a problem," another shout was heard.
It was the doctor causing trouble. Doflamingo was smiling, very amused. He just spoke one word, "Gladius." Though, just as the Gladius was about to get up, the door was blasted open and in walked Dr. Dooms.
"Fufufu," Doflamingo chuckled. "Why are you causing so much trouble in my home? All you had to do was ask to see me."
Dr. Dooms crossed his arms and said, "I did ask, but they said 'The Family' must not be disturbed. But this is an emergency."
Doflamingo grinned as he said "Gladius, check on our crew outside."
"Doflamingo, do you not want to cure that girl? Though what is her name? I hate calling her, that girl," Dr. Dooms asked.
Doflamingo raised a hand to silence him. "I will decide what to do after Gladius comes back from checking on the crew."
Gladius came back into the room and said, "They are fine just knocked out."
Doflamingo grinned seemed to stretch even bigger, "Doctor lets go upstairs to her room and you can tell me what the big emergency is. I am actually surprised you were able to knock out most of the crew that was here in the hideout. Doflamingo stood up and made his way out and upstairs with the doctor.
As they were walking, Dr. Dooms said, "Those weaklings were nothing. I faced worse on the Grand-Line. I faced off more ferocious pirates there."
This doctor is sure is interesting thought Doflamingo. If he been to the Grand-Line.
Dr. Dooms noticed instead of turning left to the room he was in before they turned right and a door in the middle of the hallway was opened by Doflamingo. "You moved her?" Dr. Dooms asked.
"Well, I can't have her sleeping in my bed. Don't worry, I moved her only in the morning. It's fine to lose one night of sleep, but not more than that," Doflamingo said.
Dr. Dooms went toward the much smaller bed that fit her more comfortably than Doflamingo's bed, which she seemed to be swallowed up by. He checked her over and let a sigh of relief. Her condition was the same as when he left her last night, but slightly better, though not by much.
"Well? What's the emergency?" asked Doflamingo.
Dr. Dooms turned to face him, looking directly where Doflamingo's eyes should have been behind the purple-tinted lens. "For me to finish the treatment I will need to do a transfusion with my medicine mixed in. It will grab the bad blood cells infected and exit the body. The problem is she has a very rare blood type. S Rh Negative and I rarely encounter this type of blood type here."
Doflamingo's eyes widened. S Rh Negative was the blood type of Celestial Dragons and kings. Just who was this girl? She sure was a mystery he was excited to find out about.
"Do you happen to have anyone in your crew with that type of blood type? Because if I can't do the blood transfusion, she will stay this way as if in induced sleep. She is out of harm's way, but she may never wake up if something is not done," Dr. Dooms said.
"Fufufu," Doflamingo chuckled. "You are in luck! I am S Rh negative."
"Well that is good then. I don't have to worry. I need two people to help bring some equipment from my lab," Dr. Dooms said.
Doflamingo smiled and said, "You took out most of my crew. So I have no one to spare at the moment."
Dr. Dooms took a small gray block from inside his coat and said, "This will revive them. All you need to do is place under their nose, and they should wake instantly."
An hour or so later, Dr. Dooms had set up his equipment in the room and Doflamingo dismissed everyone. Dr. Dooms had Doflamingo sit next to the bed as he quickly pricked a vein in Doflamingo's arm and inserted a tube so the blood could flow. He already did the same process with the child. Both were connecting to a drip. Doflamingo's blood mixed with the medicine and into the young girl.
"You will have to wait until all of the medicine goes into the girl. The whole process should be done in about an hour or so," Dr. Dooms said as he adjusted the tubes and the drip so it didn't accidentally flow into Doflamingo instead.
"I can't move for about an hour? "Doflamingo asked, starting to feel irritated.
"No, I wouldn't advise you to since it would disrupt the medical process," said Dr. Dooms.
Doflamingo sighed as he leaned his head back. "Why is the medicine blue? I've never seen a drip that color before. Will it actually work?"
Dr. Dooms looked at blue drip that once mixed with Doflamingo's blood turned into a greenish color. "It's something I created due to experimentation. I was born in Drum. We used to have the best doctors in the entire world since our medicine is very advanced. Plus, I had a very good teacher. Though she acts more like a pirate than a doctor. This was before the doctor exterminations. I was out of the country at the time. I received a message from my teacher her so I never returned. Most of my practices are unorthodox so regular people from the town don't come to me for treatment. That is why I started working with pirates. I want to be a doctor that can cure any disease no matter what it is."
"Fufufu," Doflamingo laughed. "If she doesn't get healed, I will kill you. Let that be a warning to you." Doflamingo was really starting to be interested in this doctor. Also, he could be a good asset to the crew as he had experience in the Grand-Line and is a doctor.
Dr. Dooms nodded and said, "Don't worry. My medicine never fails especially, a tried and tested one. I'll go get a few things from my lab so I suggest you don't move, I should be back in about an hour."
An hour later when Dr. Dooms returned, Doflamingo had a book in his hand and was reading. For once his tinted, curved shades were not on his face. As Dr. Dooms walked in the room, he was still able to catch the blue of his light blue eyes and the blurriness of his left eye. The doctor guessed Doflamingo was blind in that eye. As soon as Doflamingo noticed him, he quickly put his shades back on his face.
Dr. Dooms took out the needle in Doflamingo's arm. Doflamingo stood up at once and stretched after sitting for so long. Then suddenly grabbed him by the collar and asked, "What did you see?"
"Nothing," Dr. Dooms said as he struggled to breathe.
"Are you sure?" Doflamingo asked. As he looked at the doctor he grinned and let him go. "Let's hope so!"
Dr. Dooms quickly moved over to the bed where the girl was resting and attached a new drip to her that was honey in color.
"What's that? I thought the treatment is over?" asked Doflamingo as he walked over to the doctor.
"It mostly is," said Dr. Dooms. "But she is also very malnourished. This is These are vitamins and nutrients she would be having if she had been eating food. Since it seems her body is very weak. Other than that she is fine. I predict she should wake up in a day or two."
Doflamingo smiled, "Perfect! Now, Dooms, I have a proposition for you. I want you to join my crew."
"I can't," Dr. Dooms stuttered.
"Why not? What is keeping you here in this shitty town?" Doflamingo asked his smile never leaving his face. "If you need test subjects and equipment, I can always make sure you have that."
"Let me think about it," Dr. Dooms said as he rushed out to leave.
Doflamingo grinned; he had a feeling that Dooms would join. He just needed a bit of convincing. He turned to look at the girl in the bed.
"Daddy," she murmured that one word in her sleep, shocking Doflamingo.
"Are you awake?" Doflamingo asked, looking at her. She made no movement; the only sound was her easy breathing.
That one word, Daddy, struck a chord in him for some reason. He did not know why, but he had the desire to protect. Where were these strange feelings coming from? He frowned as he looked at her and then left the room.

A.N. I used the theory that Doflamingo is blind in his left eye since I have a plan for it.
