## One Piece Chapter 796, pages 8-9: Soldier-san's Decision - Chapter: 796 - Pages: 8-9 - Characters: King Riku, Elizabello II, Rebecca, Scarlet, Kyros, Palace attendants ### Summary Page 8: King Riku wonders whether he has it in him to make the people happy, wishing he were "a godlike king that could sweep aside even storms with a wave" of his hand. Elizabello responds that no one could find the situation funny if it were not so tragic, and Riku says, "In all honesty, I'm so glad they managed to make it through all of that." Elizabello tells him not to get ahead of himself; Riku replies, "I will continue giving it my best. That is all I know." He admits he will not give the throne over until the day comes for Rebecca, asking whether Elizabello remembers how strong-willed Scarlet was. Page 9: Inside the palace, Rebecca is dressed up in formal clothes. A woman says, "Oh my! How pretty! Girls really do look much better in dresses than suits of armor!" She asks, "Oh, by the way, I heard about your father!" and explains the rumor: Miss Scarlet and the prince of a faraway country supposedly fell in love and eloped, leaving King Riku no choice but to declare Scarlet had passed on. Rebecca silently asks, "Why must we lie?" The answer given is, "Because Kyros wishes it."
