Donquitox Doflamingo of the self-indulgently named Donquitox Doflamingo Pirates, was looking through his large stack of wanted posters on his desk, looking for a bounty large enough to supply for his family and people.

Pirate group to pirate group, he couldn't find any bounties over 200,000,000 beli. He was mumbling to himself about something unrelated while looking behind him, towards the window in his office. It faced his people, his city, his country.

Breaking from his thinking, he turns back to his assortment of wanted posters, full of low, disappointing numbers.

He sighs in exasperation, ashamed at the lack of potential his opponents have. Suddenly, there was a loud knock at his office door.

"Come in!" he shouted in his low, smooth voice. Dellinger strutted through the doorway, the click of his maroon heels against the smooth floor of his office floor was music to his ears.

"Hey, Doffy! I've got some bounties that were posted by the Government. Diamante said that they were causing troubles all over the place for a while, and that they were some supposed 'big fish'" Dellinger explained with his shrill voice and cheery expression.

Doflamingo grinned a big grin. "I see, thank you for the gifts." Dellinger waved goodbye to Doflamingo while opening the office door. Turning on his heel, he began clicking down the hallway.

When his shoes were unheard, he reached over, throwing a hand over the new wanted posters on his ivory desk, bringing them closer to his chest.
Big fish, eh?
Searching through the posters, he threw aside one or two because of the bounty alone. The first one that really caught his eye was a cyborg with large blue hair and a metallic face.

A large bounty compared to what he had been seeing, but moving it aside for some of the bigger ones, although they were all deemed troublesome.

Next was not a big hullabaloo; Nico Robin with a 130,000,000 beli bounty. "Not surprised, shes a menace and a demon." He whispered, chuckling behind his words.

Moving it aside, he found a fair skinned, orange haired woman with a 66,000,000 beli bounty. He hummed at the amount, how could such a weak little twig accumulate that much beli?
He was surprised, but not impressed.

Continuing through his pile, he found out why Diamante wanted his to see these posters. "'Black Foot' Sanji of the Strawhat Pirates, worth 330,000,000 beli." Doflamingo felt his throat tighten in challenge as he read the description on the poster. Is he really worth that much? For a chef?
What an unfunny joke.

Swishing the bounty poster to the side into a separate pile, he looked down, impressed at the picture, nonuple digits lined the bottom of the poster with the prosperous 320,000,000 beli count.

Less then the last, but it seems more deserved then the chefs. He whistled at the amount, wondering what his technique was, since he was clearly a swordsman. "Does it get higher?" he thought out loud in wonder, pulling the poster to the side slowly, drawing out his wonder.
Ah...
He couldn't explain the sudden feeling in his chest when he saw the big grin of the gorgeous young man he was staring at through the poster.

A 400,000,000 beli count was under his delicious photo, although he barely saw it, busy looking at the shut eyes and the full, pearly, awe-striking, smile he bared in his picture.

He brought his face closer to the poster on his desk, close enough to smell the paper, the smell of Dellingers ragged, dry hands. He was staying still, soaking in all of the features he could take in.
What is.. this feeling..?
