Don Quixote Doflamingo

Don Quixote Doflamingo (ドンキホーテ・ドフラミンゴ, Donkihōte Dofuramingo?), nicknamed "Scum of the Sea" (海のクズ, Umi no Kuzu?), is one of The Seven Warlords of the Sea. His names are a reference to the Miguel de Cervantes' novel Don Quixote and his animal theme, the flamingo, represented by the large coat of pink feathers that he wears. Doflamingo is one of the most carefree characters in One Piece. He seems to have a penchant for dramatic phrasing, as well as a habit of exaggerated posing when giving declarations. He also has an odd habit of sitting on unconventional things, like on the back of chairs, on tables, barrels and, even a pile of bodies in the middle of a war zone. Doflamingo likes to toy around with his opponents and victims in a somewhat sadistic and cruel way. He has the ability to control others using movements with his fingers similar to that of a puppeteer, although no Devil Fruit has been linked officially to this ability as of yetch.231. He believes that the Great Pirate Era is nearing its end and a new age is about to begin.ch.303 He owns a large auction house at the Sabaody Archipelago, where human and people of other species are sold as slaves.ch.504 After the war between the pirates and marines ended, he seemingly killed Gecko Moria and said to him that he had orders coming from someone higher up than the marines. Doflamingo also presumably killed Bellamy after he found about Bellamy's humiliating defeat by Luffy. Doflamingo's former bounty is 340,000,000 Berries. He is voiced by Hideyuki Tanaka in the Japanese version.ep.151 In the English dub, he is voiced by Robert McCollum for Funimation.ep.151
