One Piece Chapter 717: The Forgotten of Dressrosa

A massive crowd cheers wildly in the Corrida Colosseum as the announcer shouts, "A FIERCE BATTLE!! THE WHITE-HOT COLOSSEUM!!" Below, a defeated man lies battered on the stone ledge. Narration reads: "HE LOOKED AS THOUGH HE WAS UNABLE TO FIGHT, BUT... HAVE BEEN BEATEN DOWN BY THESE TWO MEN'S COLLIDING WILLS. ALL THESE BIG NAMES!!" Luffy, wearing a gladiator helmet, stares upward with intense eyes and declares, "KING OF THE PIRATES!" The towering, armored elder with a long beard and crown roars with Conqueror’s Haki flaring, "HIYAHOHO, SEEING THAT YOU WIELD CONQUEROR'S HAKI... NOW!! JUST WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE WE SEEING HERE!I JUST WHAT DO YOU DREAM OF BECOMING KING OF...I" Impact lines and dark aura surround him.

The elder continues, "EVERYTHING WILL BE DETERMINED THERE...!! FURTHER AHEAD, AT THE SUMMIT, WHERE THOSE CONQUERORS ARE THE ONLY THING HOLDING EACH OTHER BACK! WHAT DRIVE!! THOSE POSSESSING THE 'DISPOSITION OF A KING'... KNOW THAT THEY ARE COMMONPLACE IN THE SEAS AHEAD." He swings a devastating strike that shatters the arena floor with a massive "バキ バキ" impact. Debris flies as Luffy reacts, "WHOOSH!! OH!!" A small figure lies on the ground thinking, "...SO HE'S STILL ALIVE." Luffy, shocked, shouts, "RAYLEIGH!!" The elder, bloodied and grinning, asks, "FROM WHOM DID YOU LEARN THAT HAKII"

The elder clutches his head in pain, shouting, "I DON'T WISH TO RECALL THE PAST!!! IT PAINS ME TO HEAR THAT!!!" Luffy is struck and grunts, "UGH!!" The elder demands, "ANSWER ME, STRAWHAT, EVEN THOUGH I WOULD THAT I COULD FORGET!! A TREASURE THAT LAYS RIGHT BEFORE ONES EYES...!!!" His face twists in rage with tears and sweat as he yells, "BUT CANNOT BE REACHED!! IS THERE ANY OTHER HELL SUCH AS THIS!!I" Luffy stares in shock, "EHI!!" The elder breaks down crying, "UOHHH HHHHH!!" while a voice wonders, "IS CRYING!!I WHAT'S THIS!!I THAT LEGENDARY PIRATE..."

Chinjao crashes through a stone wall in a massive impact, debris flying as he roars in pain. "GRAMPS...!!" A battered fighter with wild hair clutches his head, thinking, "MY TRAINING WAS ALSO LACKING... WHEN HE GETS LIKE THIS... NOBODY CAN STOP GRANDFATHER...!!!" Another ally gasps, "I THOUGHT WE HAD DECIDED TO CARRY BIG BROTHER TO VICTORY..." Nearby, a long-haired fighter pants heavily, "HAA... HAA..." Chinjao, now in his compact form, charges forward and declares, "I WAS ONCE CALLED THAT, BUT NO LONGER! 'CHINJAO THE AUGER'." A helmeted spectator with a white beard shouts, "I HAVE NO IDEA! WHETHER YOU'RE GONNA CRY OR GET MAD, JUST GO AHEAD AND DO IT!!!" and demands, "ANSWER ME!! WHAT DID GARP DO TO ME!!I" In the arena below, Luffy (as Lucy) and Chinjao clash in a huge explosion of impact lines and debris. The crowd erupts, cheering "GO, LUCY!!" while a voice calls out, "LUFFY-DONO..." A Marine-like figure on the side yells, "ざわっ!!"

Outside the colosseum, Marines have surrounded the building with rifles raised. A man in a black top hat and coat observes, "JUST LOOK HOW MANY MARINES HAVE SURROUNDED THE COLOSSEUM!!" and notes, "THERE'S AN EMERGENCY HERE." Another replies, "YEAH, I WANT TO TOO, BUT JUST HOLD ON." A bearded man in a top hat tells him, "SANJI-DONO, I MUST HURRY TO THE 'TOY HOUSE' TO RESCUE KANJURO, THAT I MUST." The top-hatted man retorts, "DID YOU FORGET THAT YOU'VE ALSO BEEN RIDING ON A PIRATE SHIP!I" The bearded man answers, "WELL IT'S ONLY NATURAL THAT CRIMINALS WOULD BE ARRESTED, THAT IT IS." Nearby, a long-haired fighter with glasses lies on the ground, thinking, "THE FIGHTERS' ENTRANCE HAS BEEN HEAVILY BLOCKED...!!! I WANT TO SOMEHOW INFORM LUFFY ABOUT THE SITUATION, BUT..." A voice adds, "SO THESE GUYS HAVE SHOWN UP TO CATCH THEM, YEAHI" and "SOMEHOW OR OTHER, PIRATES AND CRIMINALS ALIKE HAVE ENTERED THIS TOURNAMENT WITH NO TROUBLE..." A fighter with a club mutters, "EHHH, STILL NO ONE..."

Vice Admiral Bastille sits prominently in the foreground, his massive form and horned mask visible as he grips a large weapon. A sign identifies him: "MARINE HEADQUARTERS VICE ADMIRAL: 'SHARK CUTTER' BASTILLE". He questions, "WHY HASN'T EVEN ONE OF THEM EMERGEDI! THERE SHOULD ALREADY BE HUNDREDS OF LOSERS FROM A AND B BLOCKS!!!" A subordinate notes, "IT'S STRANGE, HUH." Another Marine reports, "WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HIM IN A WHILE... VICE ADMIRAL MAYNARD INFILTRATED AS A CONTESTANT, BUT..." A small character adds, "DOING AS HE PLEASES, THAT BRAT..." Bastille concludes, "SOMETHING MUST BE HAPPENING... INSIDE THAT COLOSSEUM..." In the background, the massive colosseum structure looms with scattered fighters and Marines visible around the arena grounds.

A character in a tall hat with a "SOL" emblem states, "HERE IN DRESSROSA..." The scene shifts to the empty streets of Dressrosa at night, the colosseum visible in the distance with sound effects "ゴゴゴゴ" and "ゴゴゴ". A long-haired man reacts in surprise, "EHH!I NOT EVEN ADULTS!I" The top-hatted man explains the laws: "THE FIRST IS A CURFEW, AT MIDNIGHT. NO ONE IS PERMITTED OUTSIDE AFTER THEN. THERE'VE BEEN TWO HEAVILY ENFORCED LAWS...!!! EVER SINCE DOFLAMINGO TOOK THE THRONE, TEN YEARS AGO..." In the streets, shops are shuttered and the area is deserted except for a few small figures and toys. The long-haired man complains, "WELL THE SHOPS AREN'T OPEN, AT ANY RATE. CAN'T EVEN GO OUT DRINKINGI" The top-hatted man continues, "NOBODY IS OUT AND ABOUT LATE AT NIGHT...!!! AND TOYS GO TO THE 'TOY HOUSE'. HUMANS RETURN TO THEIR OWN HOUSES." Sound effects "キラ" and "キラキラ" punctuate the tense atmosphere.

In the streets of Dressrosa, a large round figure with a spiked collar and a smaller companion stand amid a crowd of toys and humans. A voice questions the scene: "EVEN THAT SORT OF THING IS FORBID-DEN...!I" Another exclaims, "WHAAAT!I IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ALL GET ALONG SO WELL, BUT..." A third adds, "OR A HUMAN ENTER THE 'TOY HOUSE'." The large figure declares, "SECOND... UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES... MAY A TOY ENTER A HUMAN RESIDENCE..." Someone replies, "INDEED..." In close-up, a stern man in a wide hat and a mustached soldier-like figure debate. The hatted man asks, "JUST WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU TOYS IN THE FIRST PLACEII" The soldier retorts, "BUT FORGET THAT!! I'VE ALREADY GOTTEN USED TO IT, BUT..." The soldier continues, "AND MAN-MADE THINGS SO INEVITABLEI WELL... IS SUCH A SAD DIVISION BETWEEN LIVING ORGANISMS..." A toy soldier labeled "SOL" stands silently. The large figure demands, "WHO'S THE VEGAPUNK-LEVEL TECHNICIAN WHO PRODUCED YOU!I" The soldier answers, "YOU HAVE WILL, AND YOU CAN SPEAK!!"

Panic erupts as a woman named Esther pushes away the large spiked figure, shouting, "GET OFF ME!! THIS IS CREEPY!!" The figure protests, "NO, THAT'S NOT IT, JUST LISTEN, ESTHER!! IT'S ME!!" A bystander yells, "THIS TOY IS BROKEN!! IT'S GOT 'HUMAN DISEASE'!!" Someone else calls, "SOMEONE, GET THE AUTHORITIES!!" and "KYAAH!!" A man questions, "WHAT'S WRONG ALL OF A SUDDEN!I WE WERE GETTING ALONG JUST FINE UNTIL NOW...!!" Esther is grabbed while a soldier warns, "YOU MUSTN'T BE WITH THAT MAN!" The large figure cries, "ESTHER! I'M YOUR BOY-FRIEND!!" A woman shouts, "GYAAH!! OI!! DON'T TOUCH HER!" The figure insists, "I'M A HUMAN!!!" while being restrained: "NO, RELEASE ME!!" The hatted man pleads desperately, "PLEASE REMEMBER ME!!!"

The large figure is dragged away by soldiers toward a "SCRAP" building as cries echo. Nearby, a woman in a dress is approached by a small child and a dog-like toy named Wanpoco. The child shouts, "KYAHAHA LET ME RIDE, WANPOCO!!" Wanpoco replies, "NO WAYWOOF! YOU'RE TOO HEAVY NOW, WOO-WOOF!!" A man in a hat labeled "SOL" watches. The dog-like figure reveals, "AND THAT WOMAN'S HUSBAND... MY NAME IS 'MILO,' NOT 'WANPOCO'." The woman asks, "WHO ARE YOUI" The child says, "I'M THAT BOY'S FATHER..." A soldier notes, "MMM!! GOTCHA, WANPOCO! DON'T WORRY, HE'S ALSO A TOY." The hatted man mutters, "WELL, HALF OF HIM..."

The woman explains, "I DON'T HAVE ONE. I'M NOT MARRIED. THAT'S NOT ALL TOO UNCOMMON, IS ITI" The dog-like toy asks, "AND YOUR HUSBANDI" She answers, "EHI DON'T GOT ONE." The child wonders, "BOY... WHERE'S YOUR FATHERI" The hatted man reacts with "...HMM!I" Confusion spreads as the woman asks, "WHAT'S GOING ON!I" The toy soldier questions, "...HEY, SOLDIER, WHAT'RE YOU TRYING TO SHOW ME HERE!I" The hatted man ponders, "...HMMII" The dog-like figure states, "THERE ARE THE FOR-GOTTEN ONES..." The hatted man concludes, "IN SHORT, IN THIS COUNTRY..."

In the streets of Dressrosa, a group of toys and former humans react with shock and anger. A smiling woman waves while others clutch their faces in distress as someone declares, "AND THOSE WHO HAVE FORGOT-TEN.....!!!" A large rabbit-like toy raises its arms and explains, "ONE OF THE PEOPLE DOFLA-MINGO BROUGHT WITH HIM 10 YEARS AGO... WAS AN ABILITY USER WHO TURNED US ALL INTO TOYS!!" Nearby figures gasp, "EH!I" and "WE TOYS WERE ONCE HUMAN!!" In the background, a cloaked figure in black dashes across the cobblestone square near Flower Hill as the toys point toward the distant flower fields. A small girl in a polka-dot dress and a black cat-like toy stand watching. The cloaked man shouts, "I'LL EXPLAIN EVERY-THING THERE!!!" while another voice notes, "WELL, WE CAN SEE THE FLOWER FIELDS FROM HERE." An older man with a hat reacts in surprise, "OH!!! SO YOU TOO!I"

Explosions rock the lush rose-filled landscape of Green Bit as massive impact effects and debris fly. A sign reads "GREEN BIT." A masked figure with a wide grin laughs, "FUFUFU!! NO MERCY, HUH!!" while commenting, "HOW CLUMSY." Below, Usopp is sent flying by a giant foot amid rose bushes, crying out "PURURURU! PURURURU!" as he tumbles. The masked figure continues taunting. In the next panel Usopp frantically dials on a Den Den Mushi, yelling, "I'M SURE I'VE GOT THE RIGHT NUMBER!" while gasping, "HAA... HAA... WHY ISN'T NAMI-YA PICKING UP!I" He is then struck hard, spinning through the air with a pained "UHHH!!" as impact lines and motion effects fill the panel.

High above the Tontatta Kingdom, a massive explosion shakes the mushroom-shaped buildings as someone yells, "IT'S USO-LAND'S HAKI!!!" and "UWAH! UWAH!" A narration box states, "UNDERNEATH GREEN BIT: TONTATTA KINGDOM." In the village, Leo the dwarf warns Usopp, "YOU ALL READY TO GO LEOI DON'T FORGET YOUR LUNCH BOX." while adding, "IF I DON'T RESTRAIN IT, THIS CABINET'S GONNA FALL." Usopp, dressed in his hero outfit, replies confidently. A crowd of Tontatta cheers, "THAT'S RIGHT! BECAUSE YOU CAN DO THAT, THAT HERO SURE IS SOMETHING, ISN'T HE." and "EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN DO THAT, THAT HERO SURE IS SOMETHING, ISN'T HE." Usopp answers, "ALRIGHT! THIS SHOULD BE GOOD." while a female dwarf asks about Granny's food and another confirms, "AH, OF COURSE! I'LL JUST STITCH EVERYTHING THAT LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT FALL."

Robin and a wide-eyed Tontatta warrior stand on a rope bridge overlooking the kingdom as a small figure asks, "AH, USOLAND, ROBILAND... HAVE YOU EATEN YOUR FILLI" Usopp, sweating, explains, "I CAUSED IT EARLIER, WHEN, TREMBLING WITH EXCITEMENT..." while a voice notes, "YOU BEHELD THE VERY EARTH TO SHAKE!!" Robin remarks, "THAT IS TO SAY, I'VE FORTIFIED MYSELF FOR BATTLE!!" Usopp mutters, "AH, I'M STUF... ERR..." Onlookers react with awe, "WOHHH HIS POWER IS IMMEASURABLE!" In the foreground Leo questions Usopp with concern, "WH... WHY ARE YOU EXACTLY GOING AGAINST DOFLA-MINGO..." while Usopp replies with determination, "BY THE WAY, LEO, YOU WERE GOING ON ABOUT HOW THIS IS A DECISIVE BATTLE, BUT..." A surprised voice exclaims, "EHI"

The Tontatta discuss their captured comrades. "WHO ARE BEING FORCED TO WORK IN THE 'DARK FACTORY,' OF COURSE!!" one declares. Another adds, "IT'S BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO SAVE 500 OF OUR PEOPLE." In the background a group laughs wildly, "どわははは" and "AHHA HAHH AHA!!" while shouting, "THE HERO IS A SKILLED JOKESTER AS WELL!!" A woman with goggles stares at a map and wonders, "THIS FACTORY... IS IT THE SMILE FACTORY...I" Nearby voices note, "WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE MAKING, BUT..." and "EH... A FACTORY!I THE ONE LUFFY WENT TO DESTROY..." A cheerful Tontatta girl beams and cries, "SHE'S ONE OF US!!!" while others grumble, "GOT NOTHING NICE TO SAY ABOUT HER," "HATEFUL, SELFISH, MEAN-SPIRITED...," "IN THAT FACTORY IS THE TONTATTA TRIBE'S...," and "FICKLE, SHORT-TEMPERED PRINCESS MAN-SHELLY." One replies, "NOPE, BUT..."

The Tontatta prepare to move. "KABU-SAN'S 'YELLOW KABU' AND BIANNE'S 'PINK BEE'," one announces. Another shouts, "LEO!! THE DONQUIXOTE FAMILY MEMBERS IN THE PALACE..." and "OK!! LET'S GO!!" while others yell, "ARE READY TO FLY!!" A serious woman watches as a large figure roars, "AH!! THAT'S WHAT A TRUE HERO DOES!! AND I'M THE SAME WAY!!!" and "NOLAND HELPED ANYONE WHO WAS IN TROUBLE!!" The scene shifts to a massive overhead view of the colosseum. A dramatic caption declares, "IN THE BASEMENT OF THE COLOSSEUM!! AT THE 'DARK FACTORY'!!" A spiky-haired Tontatta points upward and cries, "OUR BATTLE IS ON DRESSROSA!!!" while others react in shock, "SUCH A PLACE, RIGHT BELOW WHERE LUFFY'S FIGHTING!I" The page ends with the "ONE PIECE" logo.
