Donquixote Doflamingo was a prominent member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. His deep ties with the World Government enabled him to manipulate his status within the Warlords, even falsifying his resignation. His bounty prior to joining the Warlords was notably the highest revealed in the series' first half. Doflamingo's disruptive behavior was evident when he caused a commotion at a Warlords meeting in Mary Geoise.
