## One Piece Chapter 717, pages 8-9: The Forgotten of Dressrosa - Chapter: 717 - Pages: 8-9 - Characters: Bastille, Toy Soldier, Marine, Vegapunk, Toy, Esther ### Summary Page 8: A Marine asks whether even that sort of thing is forbidden, and another says it looks like everyone gets along so well with toys. Bastille questions the arrangement more deeply: "Just what exactly are you toys in the first place??" He wonders if such a sad division between living organisms and man-made things is inevitable, but then rejects passive acceptance: he has already gotten used to it, but forget that. Bastille turns to a toy soldier and asks the essential question: "Who's the Vegapunk-level technician who produced you?" The toy soldier answers in a way that makes the mystery worse: "You have will, and you can speak!!" The toys are not normal machines, and the Marines do not understand what they are. Page 9: The hidden horror of Dressrosa erupts in public. A toy cries, "This toy is broken!! It's got 'human disease'!!" but the toy insists, "No, that's not it, just listen, Esther!! It's me!!" Another person screams, "Someone, get the authorities!!" The toy begs, "Please remember me!!!" and then "No, release me!! I'm a human!!!" Yet the woman and child who once knew him recoil in fear. The girl says, "You mustn't be with that man!" while the toy shouts, "Esther! I'm your boyfriend!!" Soldiers drag him away as he pleads to be remembered. The page reveals the true cruelty: the toys remember being human, but the humans around them have forgotten them completely.
