One Piece Chapter 718: The Riku Royal Fighters of the

00AI-written

Cover page for Chapter 718, "The Riku Royal Fighters of the Flower Fields." The cover story continues as "Caribou's Kehihihihi in the New World - Volume 35 - A battleship on the shore!!" Scotch and his men face a Marine battleship that has arrived near the ruined shore, shifting the cover serial from local pursuit into a larger confrontation. This is useful extra material for the cover story rather than part of the main Dressrosa plot.

Underneath Green Bit, in the Tontatta Kingdom, the underground airport of the Tontatta Airline is packed with tiny warriors and insect mounts. Usopp is overwhelmed by the sight and cries, "Uoohhhh it's a bug army!!" Robin finds the scene charming and says, "Well isn't that adorable...!!" The dwarves reveal that there is a subterranean passage connecting Green Bit to Dressrosa, and that the airport is the entry point. They point out craft and boarding lanes as if this were an ordinary transport hub. The page changes the operation from an abstract plan into an actual military deployment: the Tontatta have vehicles, routes, and a prepared force ready to move beneath the island.

Leo calls out to the insect captains, "Kabu-san!!" and "Bian!!" Bian is introduced as captain of the Pink Bee Brigade, a user of the Mushi Mushi no Mi, Model Hornet, while Kabu is captain of the Yellow Kabu Brigade, a user of the Mushi Mushi no Mi, Model Rhinoceros Beetle. They tell Leo he is late and announce, "We're taking the express!!" Usopp is stunned, saying he has never seen this kind of thing before, while Kabu explains that the buses are meant for carrying twenty Tontatta. Robin and Usopp are too large, so they are asked to ride the buses anyway as oversized passengers. Usopp says, "I'd love to show Luffy," but Kabu answers, "We're leaving it to you!!!"

The express mounts arrive: twenty-passenger bus "Linear Fox" units of the Yelp Express. The foxes are massive to the dwarves and soft enough for Robin to admire their fur. Kabu calls, "Come now, linear foxes!!" and the animals answer with "Yelp!!" Robin smiles, "What lovely fur," while Usopp settles in and declares, "This is great! Like a sofa fit for a king." The dwarves explain that they get real fast when they run. The page briefly slows the battle plan into logistics, showing that the Tontatta do not charge blindly. They have an entire hidden transportation system designed to move troops quickly through the underground passage toward Dressrosa.

Leo gives the order: "Okay everyone!!! Let's head out!!! Along with our hero, Usoland!!" The tiny army surges forward on insect and fox mounts, roaring, "Uooh hhhhh!!!" Their purpose is clear and emotional: "We'll take back our 500 kidnapped friends!!!" Usopp rides with Robin and the Tontatta, swept into a war he never intended to lead. The dwarves' faith in him is total, and their confidence makes retreat harder with every shout. What began as Usopp's lie about being Usoland has become a military standard under which the Tontatta march toward the dark factory and their imprisoned companions.

Before the force moves fully into battle, Gancho appears and says, "I have something I want to say... to you people." The dwarves are startled: "Gancho-san!!" He introduces himself formally: "Yes, it's me, the Tonta chief and king, Gancho!!" and thanks the visitors. Gancho says they are putting their lives on the line to fight for the Tontatta, so there is something they need to know. Usopp nervously clarifies that he is not exactly planning on risking his life, but Gancho continues. The matter is history: "It's a history going back around 900 years." He explains that Donquixote Doflamingo, the one who plagues them in the present, and the Tontatta tribe share intertwined destinies that did not begin just ten years ago.

Gancho introduces the anti-Doflamingo organization hidden in the Flower Fields: the Riku Royal Fighters' Rebellion HQ. The Flower Hill is described as a massive field of sunflowers in Dressrosa, hidden among the beloved flowers, and if one heads down through a secret entrance, the valiant cries of the fairies can be heard. The dwarves identify themselves as the ones who will fight alongside the heroes: the dwarves of the Tontatta Kingdom. Gancho says they are fast enough to evade the naked eye and are known in town as fairies. Even Zoro's stolen sword is explained by this: one of them stole it. The army is tiny, but the page insists that in strength they will not lose even to the big humans.

The perspective shifts to the colosseum and the fighters gathered around Luffy's ongoing battle. Cavendish spots Zoro and shouts, "Zoro!!!" while others yell, "Oi, don't let him get the upper hand, Luffy!!!" and "Hey, big bro, we can't see!!" Zoro notices Franky and asks, "What the hell are you doing here!!" Franky answers with shock at seeing the captain: "Franky!! Oh, captain!!" Zoro grumbles that he would have wanted an invitation if he had known there was a tournament like this, because his swords want to see action. Meanwhile, the scouting brigade reports that they have confirmed the enemy's movement as well as Sugar's. The Dressrosa threads are converging around the colosseum.

Franky explains what the Tontatta have learned: the legendary heroes have appeared, and their names are "Usoland" and "Robiland." On top of that, those two seem to have friends with them: "Luffyland, Zorolaland, Namiland, Sanland, Chopperland, Fraland, and Boneland." Zoro realizes, "That must have been Usopp...!!" and tries to play along by saying, "Ah... I'm probably Zoroland." Franky introduces himself as "Fraland, nice to meet you," while Zoro wonders what could have led to such a lie. Sanji, still worried about the Sunny, says there is no time for this and repeats that if he does not hurry back to Nami and the others, they may be in danger.

Off the coastal waters of Dressrosa, the Sunny is still trapped in Jora's art. The crew struggles against the distorted ship while Jora insists, "No one can stop my art!!" Brook attacks with "Bro-ken-fu Art!!" and Nami prepares a counter, saying, "Now emerge... Snow-cloud!!" and "Let's go!! Weather Egg!!!" But even as the smoke spreads, the situation looks hopeless. The altered Sunny is barely functioning, and Jora is confident that her artistic transformation cannot be undone by ordinary attacks. This page connects Sanji's urgency to the actual crisis: Nami, Brook, Chopper, and Momonosuke are fighting aboard a ship that has been turned against them.

Nami's Weather Egg becomes part of the absurdity when Jora's power turns even the Climact into a toy. Nami recoils, "Ewwww gross!!!" and cries, "Even my Climact turned into a toy!!" Jora laughs, "Oh ho ho how rude!!" Nami calls her a super model in panic, and Jora snaps, "Who are you calling a super model!!! No one said that!!" More importantly, Jora rejects the word toy. "Nothing turned into a 'toy'!!" she says. "Don't lump my work with mere toys! Have you no discerning eye!?" She identifies herself as an art human who ate the Ato Ato no Mi. Turning people into toys, she says, belongs to someone else in the family, while her victims have been turned into art.

The transformed crew tries to regroup. Brook says, "Oi, Sir Bone, they're here for me!!" Chopper laments, "My horns and hooves are useless..." and Nami says, "Crap, she even got Nami!!" Jora tells them to stop acting like victims and says they should be happy to have been made into art. She is furious that they beat up her men and damaged her ship, and she begins deciding what kind of artistic death they should receive. At that moment the Den Den Mushi rings: "Purururururu!!" The call is Law's, but the crew's altered state and Jora's interference make even answering it dangerous.

Chopper answers the Den Den Mushi, but Jora immediately attacks the call. Law speaks through the line: "Hello hello it's me! Who is this!? We're in big trouble here, so you gotta save us!!!" Chopper recognizes him: "Eh!? Tora-man!?" but Jora shouts, "Who said you could answer that call!?" Law tries to give clear instructions: "Listen up - bring the ship over to Green Bit, and do it now!!! I'm entrusting Caesar with you!!" Nami, still fighting, yells, "We've been turned into art!! Save us!!" while Jora hears the name and wonders, "Is that Law?" The page makes the plan fracture in real time: Law is relying on the Sunny, but the Sunny is already disabled.

Jora mocks the call as one-sided: "What a one-sided conversation! He didn't listen to us at all!!" She notes that Law hung up after making such a ridiculous request. Chopper is already dozing uselessly from exhaustion or transformation effects, and the ship remains trapped in chaos. The scene shifts back to Green Bit, where Fujitora attacks Law and says, "This is pointless, Law!!" Doflamingo appears over the battered Law and asks, "Who'd you call just now!?" He laughs, "Fuffuffu just hurry up and hand over Caesar's heart!!" Law, bleeding and cornered, says there is no meaning in dragging this out any further. His fallback option has failed because the Sunny cannot come.

Doflamingo tells Law that his buddy Straw Hat has already gone after the bait he set. At this very moment, Luffy is fighting in the tournament at the colosseum. Doflamingo says it is a death match between the strongest outlaws from far and wide; if Luffy loses, it will be a quick trip to hell, and there is no way he will emerge alive. Law listens in silence while Doflamingo presses the conclusion: "Your alliance is done for. Despair, Law!!!" The page cuts to Dressrosa, tying Law's defeat on Green Bit to Luffy's trap in the colosseum. Doflamingo has split the alliance's members and is forcing each of them into a different losing position.

At the colosseum, the crowd cheers, "Go go go!! Luffy-dono!!!" Kin'emon argues that a man must be cheered for if he is to win, while Sanji snaps, "Quit it with that cheering, already!!" Burgess watches the battle and says, "This is looking like an interesting fight!! Just who is that little guy!?" Another observer identifies him: "Burgess." Inside the ring, Luffy prepares an attack, calling, "Gomu Gomu no...!" The crowd roars that Lucy is going for it. Doflamingo's bait may be deadly, but the page shows that Luffy is not merely trapped. He is actively fighting Don Chinjao and drawing the attention of powerful enemies watching from outside the ring.

Luffy's fist shoots forward as he calls, "Hawk Rifle!!!" The punch drives into Don Chinjao with tremendous force, and the colosseum erupts. The crowd screams, "Uooooo hhhh!!!" while Chinjao absorbs the blow and answers with a low "Nuhhh!" The fight grows even fiercer, and the narration at the bottom emphasizes that the fierce battle is escalating rather than ending. Luffy has committed to a direct strike, and Chinjao's durability keeps the outcome uncertain. The page ends the chapter on the impact between Luffy's Haki-clad attack and Chinjao's body, leaving the tournament, Law's crisis, and the Tontatta operation all moving at once.
