## One Piece Chapter 726, pages 13-14: The Riku Clan - Chapter: 726 - Pages: 13-14 - Characters: Leo, Tontatta Tribe, Riku Doldo III, Donquixote Family ### Summary Page 13: Leo explains that the Tontatta were truly treated like demons. Unknown to everyone, they were forced to labor deep underground while the big humans on the surface lived in luxury from the wealth the dwarves produced. Then came "the age of slavery." The texts that remain from that time describe the cruelty of the royal family. Then, in the void century, an unknown event occurred, and 800 years ago a new king of Dressrosa was born: King Riku. The course the new king chose was "atonement." He learned of the unimaginable labor the dwarves had endured for centuries underground, wept, and offered what people remember as a sincere apology. His reign began by facing a sin that was older than himself. Page 14: King Riku declared that the dwarves could take all they needed to live and would no longer have to labor. To keep the citizens from blaming or hunting them, he told the people the work was done by "fairies," and the legend of the fairies took root in Dressrosa. Under the kindly Riku clan, the country was not the richest, but it became a splendid one filled with smiles. Unnoticed, the Tontatta ancestors praised the kind-hearted Riku king and turned the land into a verdant paradise, where beautiful flowers bloomed throughout. The explanation redefines Dressrosa's beauty: it was not only the result of royal goodness, but also the hidden gratitude and labor of the Tontatta.
