## One Piece Chapter 727, pages 13-14: The Ambushing Hero - Chapter: 727 - Pages: 13-14 - Characters: Riku Doldo III, Tank Lepanto, Donquixote Doflamingo ### Summary Page 13: The collection turns into a nationwide emergency. Soldiers shout, "To the palace! Hurry!!!" and "Bring all the wealth of the nation..." In Southern Town Sevio, people receive word: "Squad captain Tank! In Sevio, the king is...!!" Another warns, "My liege, you needn't have come here yourself!!" The order to run away spreads through the streets, but the people still hesitate because they do not believe King Riku could truly betray them. They say, "King Riku!! We don't know why this is happening, but... we believe in y-" before violence interrupts. Riku himself, apparently moving against his will, attacks. Citizens cry, "Eh!? King Riku, what're you...!?" as the nightmare begins turning the people's trust into fear. Page 14: The city erupts. Flames and debris explode through the streets as Riku and his soldiers attack the very people who were trying to help them. Citizens scream, "Kyahh!!" and scatter while the king's body moves like an enemy's weapon. Buildings are crushed, smoke and rubble fill the air, and the crowd cannot understand what has changed. The horror is not just the destruction; it is that the violence appears to come from the king they trusted. Doflamingo has made the people's eyes witness only the outcome, not the strings controlling it. The king's desperation, the money collection, and the sudden massacre all combine into the false story Doflamingo wants Dressrosa to remember.
