A Cook, A Doctor, A Ghost and A Ronin.

First Impression

Doflamingo stood up high in the sky, observing the village of swordsmiths with interests. He stand on the rooftop as usual. The weather is cloudy so its not too hot. This place is quite secluded from the rest. 

Doflamingo understood why. Swordsmiths are the lifelines of all of the demon slayers. Without them, the Corps would suffer a heavy loss. They're vital part on the war against demons. Losing them would be a definite bitch slap on the Corps. 

With this, he could prove his worth in front of Muzan. In honestly, this place is peaceful. As id this place is like a vacation home. He did found out that this place got a hot spring. But last night, it was controlled by Zoro and Sanji.

He's not too keen on meeting them now. So he just avoid them to ensure that suspicion will not rise. They still didn't trust him yet. Maybe he should visit the hot spring. He also found out about another piece.

Which is Mitsuri the Love Hashira and Muichiro the Mist Hashira. He figured out that they must come here to got their new swords. Swords often broke in this profession. He found it a bit strange that all of the residents wear Hyottoko mask. Probably to conceal their identity. 

He started to reminisced the moment he met Muzan for the first time in Muzan's own home turf. the Infinity Fortress. He recon that he is the first human to ever step foot in there. Although that title had already been taken. 

It is very exciting to meet every single one of the Upper Moons and in addition of Progenitor of Demons himself. He wonder how will they react upon his arrival. The only one that knew about him coming is Nakime and Muzan. That's it.

So their reaction after this would be a genuine surprise. He questioned an audience with the Demon King so he want to see for himself how powerful is this Demon King. As much as he wanted to kill the bastard, it's not going to end just like that.

He needs to take care of the others. He's sure he could definitely take care of the Corps all by himself. But how about Zoro and the others? He's not sure if he could take them all on. That's why he need a chess piece he could use in the meantime.

Of course, he had to dress properly. He can't left a shitty first impression, right? After the celebration, he immediately went towards his designated meeting. Out of nowhere, a gateway to Infinity Fortress appeared. Blood Demon Art perhaps.

--------------------------------

"Muzan-sama, he has arrived." The demon playing biwa notified Muzan of the arrival of awaited guest.

"Bring him in." Muzan ordered her. She nodded slowly.

*Kreak*

"I'm not too late for the meeting, aren't I? Fu-fu-fu-fu" A mysterious man emerged from the shadows. He wore a black dress shirt with a red tie and white pants with a bright red design, with a pink-feathered coat.

"I see. Well then, enlighten me." Muzan nodded. All of the Upper Moon did not expect the arrival of human. They all looked at Muzan. Muzan wasn't surprised. It seems that Muzan had anticipate this human's arrival.

"Ara-ara~, A human? Well this is not what I had in mind at all!" Douma smiled as he is surprised by this. He looked like he can't contain his excitement at all. He opened his steel fan at hide his face with it, leaving only his eyes that were uncovered.

"Eek! How a human were able to find this place! Have we been discovered?! So scary!" Hantengu distance himself further and further by climbing up the stairs. He is genuinely terrified and bewildered of Doflamingo's appearance.

"At ease. I brought him here." Muzan informs them that he's the one who brought the human here. He ordered his lackeys to stand down. There's no need to act hostile as it isn't needed yet.

"Human? How unusual..." Kokushibou expected that Muzan must had something to do with this. He will not question Muzan at all.

"You....." Akaza is tensed up after witnessing the appearance of the man who humiliated him. If he's following his thoughts, he would've rushed head-on against the man who called himself Joker. The smile that plastered on his face sickens Akaza.

"Ah, basketball! I see that you're still alive. Are you okay? I did give you a good trashing before right?" Doflamingo acts worried for Akaza while mocking him at the same time. Douma lets out a slight giggle. This really pisses Akaza.

"I've come here for a negotiation. Say, are you interested in making a deal?" Akaza widened his eyes as veins in his muscles started to bulge. But at the same times, he got a goosebumps all over his body.

"I see. Well then, enlighten me." Muzan nodded. All of the Upper Moon did not expect the arrival of human. They all looked at Muzan. Muzan wasn't surprised. It seems that Muzan had anticipate this human's arrival.

"I swear my utmost loyalty to you. I will become your eyes and ears within the Corps." Doflamingo is willing to be his subordinate and his spy within the Demon Slayer Corps. The Upper Moons aren't expecting this.

"And I suppose how did you could do it?" Muzan questioned. His blood red eyes staring at Doflamingo. Muzan can't quite put a finger on this man.

"I have a secured position within the Corps. An honorary Hashira if I were to say so." Doflamingo explained he got a high position within the organization. Muzan squinted his eyes. This man would throw all of that, in exchange of what?

"Then, what would you like in exchange?" Muzan asked what did he really want from the Demon King? Doflamingo grinned widely at this response.

"I want the Poneglyph that you've been holding on to. The stone cube with engravings. I want that as exchange." Muzan tilted his head. He would've gone such lengths for a worthless cube of rock?

But Muzan need to confess. It doesn't seem like a bad deal to him. He got the advantage right now. He might added more conditions in that deal. The fact that this man would confront him face to face about this matter proves that it is an important thing to him.

He'd heard report about how this man utterly defeat Akaza until he run away with tail between his legs. He would have loved to recruit a man of his caliber. He wonder how strong Doflamingo would be with Muzan's blood flowing inside him.

*Shing!*

"I agree with your conditions. However, as much as it sounds tempting, there's one condition I want to add." Muzan cuts himself with his sharp claws as his blood is flowing out from his hands.

"Become a demon. Drink my blood" Muzan stated that he wanted Doflamingo to become a demon. He would definitely welcome Doflamingo in his ranks.

"By becoming a demon, you will be stronger than before. Not only that, you will become immortal and is immune to almost every single attacks. What do you think? Don't you want to become stronger?" Wrong. Doffy's main objective never was to become stronger. His main mission is to become immortal.

"I would, but not right now. I'm currently one of the most important members. It would be suspicious if I weren't able to walk under the sun." Drinking Muzan's blood right now would ruin his chance on stepping outside. He can't have that. 

"Putting that aside. I have great news." Doflamingo tried to change the topic. Muzan noticed this but he lets it go. 

"I have found a village of swordsmiths who supplied demon slayers with weapons." Doflamingo shared with them an intel he discovered. He knew if they were going to defeat the Corps, they need to cut off their supply of weapons first. Muzan's facial expression changed. 

Muzan grinned sinisterly.
