## One Piece Chapter 727, pages 16-17: The Ambushing Hero - Chapter: 727 - Pages: 16-17 - Characters: Donquixote Doflamingo, Riku Doldo III, Tank Lepanto ### Summary Page 16: Doflamingo watches from above and laughs, "Fuffuffuffu!!" One soldier cries, "My king...?" while another demands, "What on earth are you doing!?" Doflamingo mocks the scene: "How terrible... fufufu! What an awful king..." The attack is named Parasite, with a note that its Japanese reading ties the word "thread" into the meaning of parasite. Doflamingo orders the controlled soldiers: "Dance for me!!" and tells them, "Well, now this night will truly begin, my soldiers." He is not merely conquering Dressrosa by force. He is staging a public nightmare, using Riku's body and army as puppets so the kingdom will hate the very people trying to protect it. Page 17: The memory reaches its full shape. Soldiers and citizens cry, "Even the soldiers are rampaging now!!" and one possessed man screams, "Why's my body moving on its own...!? I'm not doing this!! My body..." Another says, "And the same thing is happening to the king...!!" The people ask, "Why are you doing this, King Riku!?" and insist, "He'd never make such a mistake!!" but panic wins as bodies fall and flames rise around the colosseum-like city. Someone cries, "What's happened to the king!?" while Doflamingo smiles from the shadows: "More, more...!!! I want the whole country trembling with fear!! And then, when they've come to hate King Riku with all their hearts...!! That's when the hero will appear...!" The page names the whole event as Doflamingo's trap and shows how he manufactured the need for a savior he planned to become himself.
