## Chapter 384: "Thanos" Doflamingo
The highly anticipated Sigri Auction officially concluded after lasting for a week.
It was another grand auction, and it certainly didn't disappoint.
The total auction amount exceeded two hundred billion Beli.
Several rare Devil Fruits appeared, and Vegapunk's Brain was auctioned off at an astonishing sky-high price.
Vegapunk's Brain was divided into two hundred and forty slices, sold in units of twelve slices, with an average price of two to three hundred million Beli per unit.
Just as Ignis had anticipated, he gained nearly fifty billion Beli in total.
Even the Kronos Kingdom spent money to buy three units.
Some were for their own research, and even more were prepared for Kazu.
As a Cell-Cell Fruit Ability User, having obtained Vegapunk's Cells, his brain would undergo a transformation into a super brain.
Even the "King of Monsters" Typhon made a move and bought two units.
Vegapunk's Brain held extremely high value for Typhon as well.
Not to mention other Factions with considerable scientific research capability.
For just twenty slices of Vegapunk's Brain, there were quite a few competitors.
Time peacefully transitioned to Sea Calendar 1492.
Right at the beginning of the year, the World Government caused a huge stir.
The cause of the incident was a ten-year-old Child who, carrying his Father's Head, demanded to return to Mary Geoise and regain his Celestial Dragon identity.
This was simply a joke.
How could the identity of a Celestial Dragon be so easily obtained?
If this Child were allowed to return so easily, what would all those who hoped to gain Celestial Dragon status think?
Furthermore, Doflamingo had committed a great offense.
Because he killed a Celestial Dragon, even if it was a former Celestial Dragon.
The occurrence of the event was beyond many people's expectation.
Regarding the fate of the Homing Family, the Holy Land didn't dare to know clearly, and hadn't heard their voices for a long time, having long forgotten where they had been cast aside.
Some believed the Homing Family would live out the rest of their lives as tycoons, or be killed by commoners.
The former was acceptable, and the latter was also easy to handle.
Whoever killed them, they would just arrange for someone to kill that person and cover up and erase the news.
But what they didn't expect was that Homing actually died at the hands of his own people.
Only a Celestial Dragon could kill a Celestial Dragon.
However, there was a prerequisite for this: being a member of the Holy Knights.
As the enforcement body for the Celestial Dragons, only the Holy Knights had this authority.
He was originally just a friend character like a clown, and a scandal that no one in Mary Geoise mentioned.
Now that such a thing had happened again, no matter who it was, they would not recognize Doflamingo's identity.
Even members of the Donquixote Family wouldn't speak up for him.
Therefore, no matter how bitterly Doflamingo pleaded, he was ruthlessly driven out of Mary Geoise.
"This is Hell, I can't escape anymore."
"I will completely destroy the World ruled by you bastards."
Carrying a heart full of wrath and hatred for this World, Doflamingo returned to the North Blue.
Even if he wasn't recognized by the Celestial Dragons, he could still leave safely.
"Truly interesting!"
"Hades, do you think this brat from the Holy Land has any value for cultivation?
This hatred for the World Government is truly deeply ingrained, and he has even awakened Conqueror's Haki."
"A Celestial Dragon who has fallen from Heaven to Hell, I'm quite looking forward to it."
This was a short video clip that recorded most of the Homing Family's experiences after arriving in the North Blue.
It could truly be described as tragic; the reversal was too sudden.
On the other side of the video screen, Rosanta II, the King of the Golden Kingdom Hilton Kingdom, couldn't hide the smile at the corner of his mouth after watching this short clip.
The four parties connected via video at this moment were precisely the Kings of the four Superpowers.
Tartarus Hades, King of the Kronos Kingdom.
Reinhard Adolf, King of the Eternal Kingdom.
Rosanta II, King of the Hilton Kingdom.
Landilos Arthur, King of the Landis Kingdom.
The Great Xia Kingdom was not included, as it couldn't participate.
This short clip was secretly recorded by the Landis Kingdom using its Intelligence Force, the News Birds.
And the North Blue was the Hilton Kingdom's home ground and also had considerable influence in the Underworld.
If Doflamingo wanted to cause trouble, he would inevitably go to the New World.
Doflamingo's experience and his act of killing his own father undoubtedly received their recognition.
They had the idea of supporting Doflamingo's rise, making him a flag of resistance against the World Government.
"He has already exhibited his potential, but without sufficient means, it's still not enough."
"Let him grow on his own first.
At least he needs to exhibit corresponding ability.
Then we can give him a push from the shadows."
"Besides, I don't think he will be manipulated by us."
Hades nodded, to some extent agreeing with the Hilton Kingdom King's idea.
He knew Doflamingo's future achievements, but he wouldn't say it out loud.
Furthermore, this era was different now.
The situation in the New World's Underworld alone had undergone tremendous changes.
Whether he could still reach those achievements was a question mark.
Perhaps, his achievements would become even higher?
Who knows.
At least for now, Doflamingo didn't have the qualification to enter his eyes.
As for the secrets about the World Government that Doflamingo knew, they were not secrets in their eyes.
"It doesn't matter, as long as he exhibits value."
Adolf, the King of the Eternal Kingdom, said so.
Whether he was under their control was indeed not something they considered.
The Rocks Pirates were not under their control, and they similarly couldn't control the Flying Pirates.
The Faction with stronger control was the Hunter Guild, but the Hunter Guild was an organization with a charter system, and its strength was very scattered.
"Then let this little guy grow first.
Just keep an eye on him, don't let him die.
It's rare for such a fellow to emerge from the Celestial Dragons."
Rosanta II finalized this matter.
To be able to receive the attention of the Kings of the four Superpowers, the ten-year-old Doflamingo was already enough to be proud.
Doflamingo, his father was an anomaly, and he was also an anomaly.
In terms of his inherent talent and IQ, Doflamingo was definitely a normal Celestial Dragon, even one of the more outstanding existences among them.
Being able to awaken Conqueror's Haki proved his potential.
Along the way, they could see that Doflamingo was the only relatively normal person in the Homing Family.
Even his younger brother and Homing were just as naive and kind.
In this man-eating World, without sufficient strength, such weak people were merely beings to be bullied.
"I forgot to tell you something, his only younger brother seems to have joined the Marines and was taken by Sengoku."
Arthur wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, glanced at the other three on the screen, and chuckled softly.
He was currently enjoying lunch.
"Sengoku?
As a Marine Admiral, why did he go to the North Blue?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other three, including Hades, were somewhat surprised.
In Hades' impression, if the Marines hadn't suffered such great losses, Sengoku hadn't been promoted to Marine Admiral after the God Valley Incident.
At least until now, he was still a Vice Admiral.
He didn't expect such a big change to have occurred.
Rosinante actually still met Sengoku.
Was it destiny?
However, for them, with their complex minds, this was actually a good thing.
"His only younger brother leaving him and standing on the opposite side...
Good heavens, even a script wouldn't dare to write this.
I feel like that brat will give us a surprise."
They could see that Doflamingo's younger brother was an extreme opposite of himself, not on the same path at all.
One was a Celestial Dragon who had experienced Hell, and the other was kind like his father.
How could they possibly get along?
One could imagine what kind of stimulus the betrayal by his last remaining relative would cause Doflamingo.
At the very least, being willing to fight for food even if injured, and rummaging through garbage cans, Doflamingo genuinely cared about this younger brother.
It was just that this younger brother was too useless, even lacking initiative, merely a burden.
With such a personality, such a fellow, even within their Families, would be looked down upon.
A weak personality, no matter how strong the potential, was not worth cultivating.
"Then let's leave it pending for now.
We'll give him a stimulus at the appropriate time."
It was hard to imagine that these four Important Figures would talk so much about a little guy, merely a Celestial Dragon.
However, he was special.
A Celestial Dragon filled with hatred for the World Government and the Celestial Dragon group.
No matter what, they believed that this brat named Doflamingo would not disappoint them.
His identity as a Celestial Dragon, his special experiences, coupled with his considerable talent, would allow him to achieve something.
Let's first see what level he can reach on the stage of the North Blue.
