Donquixote Rosinante

Corazon was formerly an Elite Officer of the Donquixote Pirates, and the biological younger brother of Donquixote Doflamingo. This makes Corazon a member of the Donquixote Family and a former World Noble.

Appearance


Corazon was a tall man, as a 10-year old Trafalgar Law was not able to reach his waist. He was seen wearing a dark red hood from which two heart-like shapes hang from, a pair of beige jeans, a dark purple feather mantle much like his brother and a white shirt with pink hearts printed all over it. He also wears mismatched shoes. His blond hair was longer than his brother as it came close to his eyes. Corazon had tattoos (or makeup) over his eyes and mouth. He was also seen wearing sunglasses.

Personality
Corazon was someone to be admired in the eyes of Trafalgar Law, so much that Law swore to exact revenge on Doflamingo for killing Corazon. However, when they met for the first time, he was noted for hating kids, especially when Baby 5 and Buffalo played practical jokes on him, such as making him slip upon passing through the doorway or feeding him scalding tea that burned his tongue, resulting in his abusive behavior towards them. In fact, the first thing that Corazon did to Law was to grab him and throw him out the window. He cannot talk due to a prior accident and, according to Diamante, is unintelligent and cannot concentrate.

He was also seen smoking, though due to his clumsiness, he accidentally set his own cowl aflame on at least one occasion.

Donquixote Doflamingo
Corazon is the biological younger brother of Donquixote Doflamingo, and was an Elite Officer of the Donquixote Pirates. Doflamingo once considered Corazon to be his precious little brother and was protective of him, saying that he would personally kill anyone who dared harm even a single hair on his younger brother. In spite of their apparent close relationship, Doflamingo murdered Corazon for reasons yet to be explained.

Trafalgar Law
Corazon's relationship with Trafalgar Law did not start out amiably. During their first meeting, Corazon seized the young boy by his head and threw him out of a window, due to his dislike for children. In turn, Law had a negative first impression of Corazon when he fell for Baby 5 and Buffalo's childish pranks so easily and accidentally set himself on fire. Law also swore to kill him for his transgression. This only worsened when Law felt that Corazon had no right to live because of his clumsiness when his (Law's) own family and friends all died, going as far as to stab the officer from behind.

However, Law eventually saw Corazon as the person he cherished the most, with Corazon even saving his life before. Because of this, when Corazon was killed by Doflamingo, Law swore revenge at all costs. Law once referred to Corazon as "Cora-san" (コラさん).

Diamante
Diamante considers Corazon as an unintelligent man who cannot concentrate, and does not hide his opinions, as he bluntly stated his opinions in front of Corazon. However, he recognizes his talents and respects him as Doflamingo's brother.

Baby 5 and Buffalo
As children, the pair always pulled their share of practical pranks on Corazon, tripping him upon walking through a doorway and giving him boiling tea that scalded his tongue, which they found very amusing. This may be the reason why Corazon hates children. But even after hitting them, the two continued with their jokes. As with Law, they refer him as "Cora-san".

Abilities and Powers
Being born in the Donquixote Family, Corazon was a World Noble, thus granting him political rights and privileges to do almost anything he pleased, as well as near limitless wealth and the ability to summon a Marine Admiral to strike down anyone who offended him. When his father forfeited the status of a World Noble for the family, he lost such privileges.

As a former Elite Officer of the Donquixote Pirates, occupying the Heart seat, Corazon was undoubtedly a powerful fighter to attain such a rank. He was second-in-command of the many other officers and soldiers of the crew, alongside the other Elite Officers, and just under Doflamingo himself.

Corazon was noted to be unintelligent and lacking in concentration as well as being very clumsy as he fell for both of Buffalo and Baby 5's pranks and setting his own cape on fire while trying to light a cigarette. However, Diamante stated he was nevertheless talented enough to become an officer, possibly due to his lineage.

Past
Corazon was born as the younger brother of Donquixote Doflamingo, and therefore a World Noble alongside him. The brothers lost their status as World Nobles when their modestly idealistic father abandoned Mariejois in order to live a normal life amongst the commoners. This had an adverse effect on the family; the resulting poverty led to them losing their mother in their childhood, and in Doflamingo losing patience in such a mundane life and kill his father two years later. The two surviving brothers were denied re-entrance to Mariejois, so they became pirates, with Doflamingo as the captain and Corazon serving as the second-in-command and an Elite Officer alongside Trébol, Pica, Diamante and Vergo.

Sixteen years ago, in North Blue at the port town of Spider Miles, Corazon met Trafalgar Law for the first time and the first thing he did was throw him out the window as Diamante stated he hated kids, probably because of the pranks Baby 5 and Buffalo were pulling on him. Law survived the fall and was shocked at Corazon's eccentric behavior, as Corazon was on fire after accidentally setting his feathery mantle ablaze while lighting a cigarette.

After Law had been with the crew for about a week, Corazon was seen having a meal with the other members of Doflamingo's "family". Even though Law furiously stated outright that he was unafraid of death and swore revenge, disregarding Doflamingo's warning of the blood law, Corazon remained undeterred by Law's threat. Later on while most of the crew was out on a raid, Law stabbed Corazon in the back while the man was reading a newspaper, a transgression witnessed by Buffalo.

At some point afterward, Corazon became better acquainted with Law and even saved the child from Amber Lead Syndrome. In turn, Law looked up to him greatly. Thirteen years ago, he was killed by Doflamingo in an incident that has yet to be explained, with Law swearing to avenge him by destroying Doflamingo.

Legacy
Doflamingo had reserved the now vacant Heart seat for Law, who he saw as a brother, to succeed. However, as Law could not forgive Doflamingo for Corazon's murder, he defected and the seat remains vacant. Law went to great lengths to avenge Corazon, even by forming an alliance with the Straw Hat Pirates and using them until he no longer needed them, and plotted to pit Doflamingo against Kaido in the hopes the Yonko would kill him.

Trivia

 * Corazón is the Spanish word for "heart", matching the card suit motif of Doflamingo's top executive officers.
 * Doflamingo mentions that had Law not betrayed the Donquixote Pirates, he would be the "Third Corazon" (3代目のコラソン). This suggests that "Corazon" (and the other three Elite Officers) are alias or titles, as opposed to their birth names. This also indicates that there was another person before Doflamingo's brother who carried the position of Corazon.
 * Corazon is the first character in the series known to be mute.
 * His mouth tattoo (or scar) resembles the one sported by the Joker from DC Comics in The Dark Knight movies, which is also the alias of his brother.
 * The tattoo under his right eye resembles that of Alex from the 1971 film A Clockwork Orange.
