## One Piece Chapter 728, pages 0-1: The Tragic Ranks - Chapter: 728 - Pages: 0-1 - Characters: Caribou, Riku Doldo III, Viola, Vergo ### Summary Page 0: Chapter 728, "The Tragic Ranks," opens with Caribou's cover story in the New World. In Volume 43, the snow-covered scene pauses on a grimly comic farewell: "For my courageous, self-sacrificing grandson, who can't lift a finger, at least have one last meat pie." Caribou and the people around him stand in a bleak northern landscape while an elderly woman presents the meat pie like a final comfort before the story returns to Dressrosa's tragedy. Page 1: Dressrosa's nightmare begins under the palace lights. Across the country, citizens flee and beg as King Riku's sudden violence tears through the streets: "Help us!!" "We gave you the money, so spare our lives...!!" "Your highness, please stop!" The land is described as blanketed by evil, and panic spreads everywhere: "The whole country is in a panic!!!" People cannot understand what has happened to the king they trusted, asking, "What on earth has happened to his highness!?" Inside the palace, Viola can only whisper, "Father..." while others recall that Riku had burst out strangely earlier. The situation has grown beyond anything the palace can contain, so the Marines are contacted: "I think the situation is beyond one we can deal with at this point..." The decision is made to leave everything to Captain Vergo, while Dressrosa's faith in its king begins to collapse.
