## One Piece Chapter 722, pages 21-22: The Bloodline of Royalty - Chapter: 722 - Pages: 21-22 - Characters: Brook, Jora, Nami, Tony Tony Chopper, Trafalgar D. Water Law, Donquixote Doflamingo, Fujitora, Nefertari Family, World Government, Tenryubito ### Summary Page 21: Brook reveals the deception. After Jora returns the violin and bow, he says, "My violin bow is in fact a cane sword... Got it, got it. Now play something good." Jora asks whether he has already made the cut, and Brook answers, "Of course! I've already made the cut." He names the technique "Painter's Song... Hitoyogiri!!!" and slashes through Jora before she can react. She screams "Gyahhh!!" while the transformed ship and captives recoil. A note explains the pun in Hitoyogiri, but Brook's meaning is simple: he never lost control. He says, "Because my eyes... are just empty sockets!!! I'm sorry. I guess I don't really have an eye for art." Nami and Chopper cry, "Brook!!!" Page 22: The scene moves to Green Bit, where Law, Doflamingo, and Admiral Fujitora face one another amid the wreckage. Doflamingo begins explaining old history: "Way back then... it's a story that goes back 800 years, Law." Twenty kings from twenty countries gathered at the center of the world and formed one massive organization, the present-day World Government. Those kings became the "Creators" and moved their families to the holy land of Mariejois. Even now their descendants reign over the world as the Tenryubito. Doflamingo adds that only the Nefertari family of Alabasta declined that opportunity, leaving the organization as nineteen families instead of twenty. The lesson is not abstract; he is preparing to explain where his own family fits.
