Day 9: Law: Smile
Sumire. 菫。Violet or Viola. A common weed useful for colour, garnish, flavouring and seasoning.
Aconite, Aconitum, Monkshood, Wolfsbane—same flower, different names—carried the traditional characters for violet too. One edible, one not.
Aconite, one of the three most poisonous plants in the north and nearby regions.
Spear tips and arrow heads were dipped into Aconite's poison for hunting across the lands. Sumire was not quite a SMILE, but close enough when Doflamingo, Caesar and Kaidou were involved—inverting the helpful and hopeful into the harmful.
Doflamingo smiled while he caused others to grin and bear it. Perhaps cruelty was nature. Volcanoes bubbled with sulphur and toxic gases, skin dappled white. Unlike striped hornets, poison didn't always let itself be known.
