## One Piece Chapter 728, pages 1-2: The Tragic Ranks - Chapter: 728 - Pages: 1-2 - Characters: Riku Doldo III, Viola, Vergo, Monet, Donquixote Doflamingo ### Summary Page 1: Dressrosa's nightmare begins under the palace lights. Across the country, citizens flee and beg as King Riku's sudden violence tears through the streets: "Help us!!" "We gave you the money, so spare our lives...!!" "Your highness, please stop!" The land is described as blanketed by evil, and panic spreads everywhere: "The whole country is in a panic!!!" People cannot understand what has happened to the king they trusted, asking, "What on earth has happened to his highness!?" Inside the palace, Viola can only whisper, "Father..." while others recall that Riku had burst out strangely earlier. The situation has grown beyond anything the palace can contain, so the Marines are contacted: "I think the situation is beyond one we can deal with at this point..." The decision is made to leave everything to Captain Vergo, while Dressrosa's faith in its king begins to collapse. Page 2: Snow drifts inside the palace as the coup reveals another hidden hand. The guards are startled: "Snow?!" and then recognize the maid at the gate: "Monet!? What are you doing there!?" They demand to know why a maid would open the palace gates, but Monet smiles at Princess Viola and says, "...Lifufu. Princess Viola..." She tells Viola that if she uses her clairvoyance, she will see exactly what is happening throughout the country: "I expect you'd see it quite clearly." Outside, disaster spreads at once: "There's a blaze coming from the east tower!!" "Viola-sama has been captured!" "Pirates are inside the palace!!" Monet's answer is cold and final. She is "Inviting in... a new royal family." Viola is trapped as the Donquixote Family walks into the palace through doors opened from within.
