## One Piece Chapter 728, pages 8-9: The Tragic Ranks - Chapter: 728 - Pages: 8-9 - Characters: Toy Soldier, Nico Robin, Don Chinjao, Leo, Riku Doldo III, Donquixote Doflamingo, Viola, Violet ### Summary Page 8: Back in the present, the Toy Soldier finishes the awful shape of the story: "So in just a single night... the country fell into Doflamingo's hands." Don Chinjao calls it exactly what it is: "What a story... a real nightmare!!!" Robin recognizes the precision of it: "Such a cunning man..." The Tontatta are furious and heartbroken, crying that they will never forgive Doflamingo. The Soldier explains that the beloved King Riku was sent to his death for a crime he had not committed, and one listener admits shamefully that even they believed King Riku had gone mad at the time. They contacted the new king, Doflamingo, only to learn what that truly meant. The shame remains: "I'm ashamed for having ever doubted King Riku!!" Page 9: The Toy Soldier then reveals that King Riku did not die. "No... King Riku still lives!!" At the time, Doflamingo became interested in Princess Viola's power, and Viola made the only bargain she could: "If you promise not to kill father... I will serve under you!!" Her sacrifice kept Riku alive, but it chained her to the enemy. The Soldier explains that Viola is still alive and now serves under Doflamingo as one of the Donquixote Family's officers, having changed her name to Violet. The others are stunned: "An officer!?" Yet the meaning is clear. King Riku survives because his daughter buried her own life inside the family that destroyed hers.
