Does rosinante ever tell doflamingo about what happened to homing’s head ?

What does doffy feel about it?, or does he not care.

That is a good question! I thought about that when I drew those sketches, and honestly, I feel the kind of uncertainty I imagine Rosinante would feel. He doesn't like to think about everything that happened before he was sold out. He loves his brother and wanted to reunite with him, but that doesn't erase the memory of their last encounter with their father.

It was a "neither with you, nor without you" situation after Doffy killed Homing, and that moment gave the angry mob just enough time to catch and sell Rosinante.

And from then on, worse things kept coming—far worse than seeing his brother behead their father's corpse.

After all those years among the Celestial Dragons, he understands now that their father's wish to leave that life behind was the right choice. It's a reminder to Rosinante that Homing was a good man. But still… they suffered so much because of him. He can see that now. Homing was too idealistic, too naive for the real world. Rosinante doesn't hate him for it—but he understands both his father's and his brother's point of view.

But just because he understands what it's like to be angry at their father's choices, he hesitates for a very long time before ever saying anything to Doffy. Because he knows—Doffy still despises Homing. Still… I can imagine a moment, someday, when Rosinante finally opens up a little. Maybe he tells Doffy that after the city drove him out, they kept their father's head and used it to mock him—to humiliate him.

And maybe there would be a small flame of anger in Rosinante too. Because, why did Doffy have to leave the head there? Couldn't he have just thrown it into the sea? Buried it underground? Anything would have been better than leaving it for the Celestial Dragons to gloat over.

And as for Doflamingo... I don't think he'd ever feel guilt for what he did. But I do think he'd feel guilt for making Rosinante witness it all. For making him live through every choice he made, and suffer the consequences that came with them. He doesn't feel bad about the head. He really doesn't care about that. But knowing that Rosinante suffered because of all of this? That would make him feel bad.

I like to think that, by then, Doflamingo would be emotionally mature enough to talk about these things with Rosinante—openly, honestly, and without hiding behind his usual arrogance or sense of superiority.

Yeah. I'm rambling again.

I couldn’t get this idea out of my head so I’m starting a Donquixote card deck! Yes including all the number cards and name cards and the rest of the family >:) Started with the aces bc I had the most concrete vision for them but expect the rest soon!

Wh. what's goin on with Bou?

Inherited A LOT from Luffy, but Bou is still Bou

Luffy's picked up habits from Ace

(risky post 6) What IF Luffy had an early growth spurt and Koby met him 🤔💭

You've heard of the 'Judge branded his children with their numbers' head-canon, I raise you this. (Read right to left)

I really wanted to use this comic to explore how, while Sanji was aware of how awful his life in Germa was, there was probably a lot of messed up things happening to him that he wouldn't necessarily recognize as abuse, since he had no frame of reference for what a 'normal' childhood looked like.

Sabo meets invasive species and takes him home

Ahh I had a similar idea before! I even did a sketch of it—Rosinante finding the papers and his heart just breaking at the realization. It’s not something he ever expected to have to face. It wasn’t on the list of things he thought he’d need to deal with.

BUT.

Until Rosinante’s past becomes common knowledge, I don’t think Doflamingo even needs to pretend he’s hiding anything. Like—there’s no point. (Well—except Dressrosa. That’s not just some small secret, it’s a massive, years-in-the-making plan that only the Elite Officers know about. And Vergo, of course. It’s been carefully built piece by piece over time—far too big, far too important to share with someone as new to the family as Rosinante.)

So when Rosinante stumbles upon those papers… I don’t think it’s about deliberately keeping him out. Doffy wants him to be the next Corazon—it’s just a matter of timing. And trust. Some things he says out loud, some things he keeps close until he's sure. I mean, Trebol’s in the background constantly sabotaging that trust, feeding Doflamingo doubts about Rosinante’s loyalty—his commitment to the family.

So when Rosinante starts asking questions about the early slave trade stuff… Doffy brushes it off. At that point, it probably feels like a betrayal to Doflamingo. Something’s off, and he doesn’t know why yet.

I’m probably rambling, but I just love this AU so much and want to open it up more!

At the end of the day, this is still progress. 🤓
