Doflamingo's past, that's something to be interested about. So far all we know about him is that he is present at Gol D Roger's execution and second is that he became a shichibukai 10 years before the current time in One piece.

I'll say he became a shichibukai because he did something in the past, most likely that he cut off Admiral Z's arm. The timeline is accurate. Z's arm got cut off pretty happen close to the time that Doflamingo became a Shichibukai. I'll say he is either Royal Blood or he came from a Mafia family or both and his hometown is Dressrossa. He became a pirate after witnessing Gol D Roger's execution and his goal become the pirate king. He got the Devil fruit and learned about Haki along the way.

Doflamingo may have the same fate as Moria, he got beaten up by a Yonko then he got captured by Admiral Z then you know the rest. He accepted becoming a shichibukai afterwards. He gave up trying to become the pirate king and return to his homeland Dressrossa and take over the Family business and becoming a king in the process.

How's that?
