#Donquixote dulcinea

[itscoffeetime-world]

Oh i'm just a kid, i never use my brain

[songofstrawhats]

DEAR ONE PIECE TUMBLR DID WE FUCKING KNOW ABOUT THIS??? DID WE FUCKING KNOW ABOUT THIS?????? I was all 'haha the kid from windmill village beat up donquixote haha what a coincidence' AND THE WHOLE TIME CORA WAS NAMED AFTER THE FUCKING HORSE????????????

THIS SHIT WAS ON PURPOSE AND ODA IS A MAD GENIUS OH MY GOD

[diminuel]

For Mini-mingo I really like the name of Dulcinea but yeah it's too related to Donquixote and that's why I've been thinking about the name "Candy" just because Dulcinea comes from the spanish word "dulce" (sweet)... and Mini-mingo dressed in all pink looks like a giant candy haha c:

Other name I was thinking about based on Mini-mingo's colour is "Rosa" (Pink or Rose in spanish, it depends the context) and they would call her "Rosie" because cute nickname. This one would give Doflamingo an aneurism because Rosie sounds a lot like the Roci in Rocinante (at least in LATAM spanish)

Imagine

Doflamingo: what's your name kiddo?

Mini-mingo: You can call me... Rosie

Doflamingo: Ro-roci...?

Haha! Rosie would make Doflamingo walk into the ocean maybe and maybe rant at Crocodile about his bad naming choices. One might be tempted to think that Rocinante was somehow involved in her creation. Is that it, Crocodile? Is that why she's blonde? (He's being an idiot of course)

But I'm still not entirely sold. Dulcinea (or Nana) are probably still my favourite ideas but I can't settle on anything X'D

I just wonder what name Dragon would choose if he's given the option. Would he pick Dulcinea or Celeste or Rosa? Maybe he'd pick Bananawani, the madman.

(Considering Robin's the "light of the revolution" he might also use some cheesy name like that? I don't speak Spanish, just a bit of Italian but Luce would be an option. Lucia, something like that. Aaaand a different form of Lucia is Lucy and now we're back to Lucy which was a popular option for Baby 2 and a name Luffy uses in Dressrosa?)

The secret history of Ulcinj

Ulcinj, one of the oldest settlements of the Adriatic, is a place of very rich and intriguing history. Truth or legend, some of the occurrences even today, after so many centuries, remain under a veil of mystery. Who was the famous slave of the Ulcinj pirates and thereafter the son-in-law of the city of Ulcinj? Is the grave of the famous Jewish ‘messiah’ really in Ulcinj? The official history still cannot answer but the stories, evidence and legends reveal many secrets of the Old Town.

Image: Ulcinj Old Town at dusk

This Story begins on the Slave Square…

Long time ago Ulcinj was a popular pirate destination and a famous market for slaves. During the Ottoman rule, which lasted longer than 200 years, there was a Slave Square in front of the church-mosque of the Old City.

Today that square is called The Cervantes Square.

It sounds incredible, but a small square of the small town in a small country of the Adriatic coast truly does bear the name of the famous Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes. And for a great reason!

Legends say that Cervantes in his youth was a slave of the Ulcinj pirates. Finding an important letter on him from the Spanish king during his capture, the pirates estimated that Cervantes was a valuable slave and that they could fetch a good amount of gold for him. More precisely they wanted 500 gold coins for him, which was quite a sum. As no one in Spain had or did not want to pay the huge sum, Cervantes spent 5 years in Ulcinj.

The locals called him Servet, which was part of his name. At the time, a completely unknown Spaniard with his unusual behavior attracted much attention. He would sing during the day and stay up until late at night to write. The ladies liked to listen to him, one in particular. According to folklore, that Old Town lady stole Cervantes’ heart and a great love ensued.

Five years later, when his father arranged his release, Cervantes returned to Spain together with the beautiful Ulcinj lady. Upon his release, and return to Spain, Cervantes created one of the most famous novels in the world after the Bible, and the most translated peace of literature – Don Quixote.

Don Quixote and the story of Dulcinea del Toboso are closely linked by many researchers to Ulcinj. Primarly because the famous novel was written after Cervantes’ captivity in Ulcinj, but also because the name of the main heroine of the novel, Dulcinea actually means a girl from Ulcinj – the name stems from the word Dulcigno, which was the name of the city at the time.

Whether Servet was really Cervantes, and Servet’s writings were later published as Don Quixote has not yet been officially confirmed. However, it is known with certainty that Cervantes was a slave somewhere on the Mediterranean and for the people pf Ulcinj it was more than certain it was Ulcinj. This is why they proudly glorify their square and call it the Cervantes Square.

The Secret History of Ulcinj continues....

Who carved the Star of David in the Balsic Tower?

In Ulcinj Old Town, right next to the mosque is the famous Balsic Tower. Its mystical interior and even more intriguing history indicates that this is where Djerdj Balsa died, the most famous Prince of Balsices, as did a very important figure of the Jewish history, Shabbetai Zevi, a false messiah and a reformer of the Talmud. His controversial life as a self-proclaimed messiah and his death in exile in Ulcinj are still the subject of scientific and historical controversy and research.

Who was Shabbetai Zevi (alternative spellings Sabbatai Zevi, Shabbetai Tzvi, Shabbeṯāy Ṣeḇī, Shabsai Tzvi, Shabbetai Zvi), and why are there still discussions about him and how did he end up in Ulcinj?

Zevi lived in the 17th Century, and was born in the city of Izmir, a very important city of the then Ottoman Empire, as a son of a rich Jewish family. Zevi himself was very educated, of above-average intelligence and destined for a leader. He was a great supporter of freedom and his fellow followers saw him as a savior, a man from the future who would return Jews to Israel and Palestine.

Encouraged by the conviction that he is a great prophet of divine powers who would change the world, in his 40th year he proclaims himself the messiah – one of the whole world and all nations. He gained a large number of supporters and followers far beyond the Ottoman Empire.

On the wings of the fame he gained, he even demanded from Sultan Mehmed IV to renounce the Koran and accept the Talmud. Events followed and Zevi is imprisoned, and it is believed that the sultan put Shabbetai to a test, saying he would accept him as a messiah if the arrows shot towards him came back – which of course was impossible. In the end, the sultan spared his life but demanded Zevi convert to Islam. Shabbetai Zevi became Aziz Mehmed Effendi and sent to the ends of the empire, Ulcinj, where is stayed in the Balsic Tower officially as Sultan’s keeper of the gates, but deep inside he still believed in his messianic mission.

Did Shabbetai Zevi really live and die in the Balsic Tower, where was he truly buried (as there are some indications that his remains are located on the private property of the Manic family in Ulcinj), was he only a rabbi or a great messiah, was he a Muslim or a Jew?... These are just some of the mysteries that intrigue and interest worldwide historians to this day.

Image: Balsic Tower In Ulcinj Old Town

In one of the most beautiful coastal cities, over two centuries, two great personalities lived, and as such immortalized the city at the same time – Miguel de Cervantes with his Dulcinea and Shabbetai Zevi with his Star of David on the Balsic Tower and his secret grave. 

These two, among others, brought Ulcinj to a significant spot on the stage of the world history.

I *need* to know more about Mini-Mingo. She's so adorable!!

:D I'm making Mini-Mingo up as I go! She belongs in one of those AU of an AU scenarios in which Crocodile and Dragon had another child after Luffy ("Grumpy") but broke up some years later. It's unclear how long this break up lasted and how "serious" the rebound relationship with Doflamingo was, but he never told him about the pregnancy. And he did get back together with Dragon before the child was born.

Mini-Mingo grew up as Dragon and Crocodile's kid and has the Monkey name. She's more interested in the RA than she is in piracy or joining the marines. She's not officially a member of the RA since she's too young, but Dragon and Crocodile didn't want to leave her alone on Dawn Island once Luffy set out to become a pirate (and Grumpy joined the Marines). So Dragon took her with him.

She most likely knows about Doflamingo by the time Cross Guild springs him from Impel Down.

And Mini-Mingo still doesn't have an "official" name X'D

There were some more Doflamingo centric name suggestions, like Celeste or Dulcinea (which I had considered too). I'm not entirely sure if Crocodile and Dragon would give her a name that hints at her Donquixote blood though.

Prologue Don Quixote, having read his fill of romances about knights and chivalry, decides to set off on his travels in order to achieve great feats, which willbring glory to his name. As his sword-bearer, he chooses the loyal Sancho Panza, a man of sober outlook who is not prone to dreams.

Act I In Barcelona there is festive anima­tion in the air. Kitri, daughter of the innkeeper, is flirting with Basilio, the barber, who is in love with her.Finding them together Lorenzo, Kitri’s father, chases Basilio away: the barber is no fit match for his daughter. Lorenzo intends Kitri to marry Gamache, a rich noble­man. Kitri refuses outright tosubmit to her father’s will.

At the height of the merry-making, Don Quixote appears in the square, accompanied by his sword bearer, Sancho Panza. Catching sight of the innkeeper, Don Quixote mistakes him for the owner of aknight’s castle and greets him with respect. Lorenzo responds in like terms and invites Don Quixote into the inn. Sancho Panza is left in the square. But when some young people start to mock Sancho,Don Quixote immediately hurries to his sword-bearer’s rescue.

Seeing Kitri, Don Quixote thinks she is the beautiful Dulcinea whom he has seen in his dreams and chosen as ‘the lady of his heart’. But Kitri disappears. She has run off with Basilio. Lorenzo,Gamache and Don Quixote set out to look for her.

Act II Scene 1 Kitri and Basilio are hiding in a tavern. Here they are found by Lorenzo, Gamache and Don Quixote. Lorenzowishes to make an immediate announce­ment of the betrothal of Kitri and Gamache. But Basilio, by agreement with Kitri, pretends to take his life. Kitri sobs over the body of her sweetheart. DonQuixote overcоme by noble indignation accuses Lorenzo of hardheartedness and, threatening him with his sword forces him to agree to his daughter’s marriage with the barber Basilio jumps to his feet.There is no point in him pretending to be dead am longer.

Scene 2 In the glade by the windmills is a sprawling gipsy encampment. Here too is a puppet theatre. Don Quixote and Sancho soon appear on the scene. The ownerof the puppet theatre invites Don Quixote to watch a show. Don Quixote follows the performance with rapt attention and, forgetting it is theatre, rushes on to the stage, sword in hand, to defendthose who need his protection. He breaks down the stage, sends the puppets flying and, catching sight of the windmills, mistakes them for evil magicians whom he has to get the better of. Grabbing amill sail, he is first lifted into the air and then falls to the ground.

Scene 3 The wounded Don Quixote and Sancho Panza find themselves in a forest. To Don Quixote, the forest seems to be full of monsters and giants. Sancho Panzasettles Don Quixote down to sleep, while he runs off for help. In his dreams, Don Quixote sees Dulcinea, ‘the lady of his heart’, surrounded by Dryads and fairies Sancho Panza comes back with theDuke and Duchess who have been hunting in the forest. He begs them to help the dreaming Don Quixote. The Duke and Duchess invite the wandering knight to visit them m their castle.

Act III The Duke’s castle. All is ready for the reception of Don Quixote. Having heard from Sancho Panza the happy story of Kitri and Basilio’s love, the Duke and Duchess have kindly agreed to allow them to hold their wedding in the castle. Don Quixote and Sancho Panza areinvited to occupy the seats of honor. A solemn procession files past. Catching sight of Kitri, Don Quixote again mis­takes her for ‘the lady of his reveries’. But the Duke and Sancho Panza manage topersuade him that she is the very same innkeeper’s daughter whom he helped to unite with Basilio, her sweetheart. The festivities continue. All thank the va­liant knight and his faithful sword-bearer.
