Biography
Past
Thirty one years ago, a ten year old Vergo met Doflamingo who awaken his Haoshoku Haki and swore his loyalty to the latter along with Trebol, Diamante, and Pica. They were fiercely dedicated to him, as they killed anyone who harmed him and even burned down a town for having a road that caused Doflamingo to trip.
Later on, Vergo became the first Corazon of the crew but before becoming infamous, he joined the Marines to spy on their activities and to be an inside man for Doflamingo of their plans.
On Minion Island, Vergo was there to secretly assist the Donquixote pirates on obtaining the Ope Ope no Mi but managed to run into a young Law (who already ate the Ope Ope no Mi) who gave away incriminating evidence on Doflamingo. Law also wanted Vergo to help out his companion as well who was to Vergo's surprise Rosinante (Doflamingo's brother) who accidentally revealed his ability to speak. Realizing now that Corazon was a spy and Law was his accomplice, he beat the two up and alerted Doflamingo about Rosinante's treachery. After Rosinante's death and Law's escape, Vergo along with the Marines and the Donquixote Pirates eventually left the island after fighting.
Punk Hazard Arc
Vergo first appears in a corridor along with Monet in Punk-Hazard when he crushed Trafalgar Law's heart. He berated Law for his incompetence and captured him. Once he was with Caesar Clown and Monet, Caesar Clown proceeded to unleash Shinokuni on the island to show the underworld what it is capable of. When the remaining Marines and Straw Hats made it to the safety of the laboratory, Vergo decided to head to Tashigi's location to eliminate them all.
He proceeds to attack Tashigi and the G-5 marines until he was confronted by Sanji. In their battle, Vergo got the upper-hand and was about to land a powerful blow on the pirate before going to the SAD room. While on his way there, Vergo was giving instructions by Doflamingo to kill Law. Once he made it to the SAD room, Vergo immediately attacked Law. Before Vergo could finish off Law, Smoker intervened and decided to battle Vergo because of how the latter betrayed the marines. The two fought until Vergo defeated Smoker.
When Law stood up, he thanked Smoker for helping him get his heart back, as a shocked Vergo realized it was diversion to get Law's heart back. Turning his attention to Law, Vergo heard the latter state he will defeat him and mockingly called him Vergo-san. Fully intending to finish him off, Vergo activated his full body Armament Haki mode. But before Vergo could land one blow, Law bisected him and a portion of Punk Hazard. Now defeated and having parts of his body hanging on a steel railing, Law tells Vergo that the SAD room is set to explode in couple of minutes. When Law and Smoker left, Doflamingo (through Vergo's den-den mushi) told Vergo that he will miss him and that he has a done a great job up until now. Afterwards, the SAD room exploded killing Vergo.
