## One Piece Chapter 727, pages 4-5: The Ambushing Hero - Chapter: 727 - Pages: 4-5 - Characters: Toy Soldier, Riku Doldo III, Donquixote Doflamingo, Scarlett, Rebecca ### Summary Page 4: The toy soldier recounts the night the royal family fell. He explains that Dressrosa was a nation of unparalleled peace and that the royal family could be called a miracle. For eight hundred years, the royal family ruled without war, and people lived believing no one would call for violence. Then, suddenly, a nightmare descended upon the palace. Doflamingo appeared and spoke to the king directly, while soldiers shouted, "Don't raise your voice." Someone cried, "Who are you? Speak now!!" and the palace was thrown into confusion. The story narrows toward the moment when Doflamingo stood before King Riku and turned a peaceful kingdom into a stage for humiliation and terror. Page 5: Doflamingo announces himself to King Riku: "I'm Donquixote Doflamingo. And I've returned home, as the rightful king of this land!" The king does not understand, and Doflamingo keeps smiling as he explains the old claim. He says that of course Riku's people were well-governed, and he admits he has worried about a certain pirate named Donquixote. He laughs that he heard the king had launched an attack, and says he came directly to the palace before the rumors spread. Then he names his price: "King Riku! For ten billion berries... I'll sell you this country!!!" Doflamingo threatens to take over and refuse Riku's chance unless the king accepts by dawn. The demand is not a bargain; it is a trap shaped like a transaction.
