## One Piece Chapter 727, pages 7-8: The Ambushing Hero - Chapter: 727 - Pages: 7-8 - Characters: Riku Doldo III, Tank Lepanto, Donquixote Doflamingo ### Summary 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. Page 8: Tank Lepanto receives the order and tries to grasp what it means. The king's army is small, but the command is urgent: "So that Dressrosa shall survive!!!" Citizens see soldiers moving and ask, "Hey!! What's going on?" One soldier yells, "Gather up all the cash in the town and bring it here!!!" Another person asks, "How could you... the king'll have something to say about this?" The answer is chilling: "This is on the king's orders!!" Across the country, troops and officials begin acting in Riku's name, demanding money from people who have no idea that the request is meant to save them from Doflamingo. The good king's command already looks like betrayal.
