## One Piece Chapter 727, pages 6-7: The Ambushing Hero - Chapter: 727 - Pages: 6-7 - Characters: Donquixote Doflamingo, Riku Doldo III, Tank Lepanto ### Summary Page 6: Doflamingo says he should simply take over and not give Riku a chance at all, then makes the conditions harsher. "By all rights," he says, Dressrosa does not belong to Riku. He orders the king not to make the demand known to the people and gives him until dawn: "You have until dawn tomorrow!! Do not collect any from outside nations..." If Riku tests Doflamingo's power as king, he will lose. The page turns a royal audience into extortion. Riku has one night to gather ten billion berries from the people he has protected for years, without explaining the threat and without receiving foreign aid. Doflamingo knows exactly how cruel the request is and enjoys watching the king trapped by his own responsibility. Page 7: King Riku's advisors understand the impossibility of the demand. One says there are none in the country who could be called wealthy, while another admits, "But... less and even their intended collection would not be enough..." Riku asks, "And what if we should fight...!?" but the answer is bleak. Fighting would make the country battle itself, and even if they gathered an army, the fact that Dressrosa has been free of war for 800 years is proof that they are not beasts. Someone says they will not become wild animals and kill here. Riku makes the decision that fits his whole reign: they will borrow the money from the people, gather ten billion berries from throughout the land, and lose the trust of the people for a time if it saves them from war.
