## One Piece Chapter 722, pages 11-12: The Bloodline of Royalty - Chapter: 722 - Pages: 11-12 - Characters: Cavendish, Rebecca, Monkey D. Luffy, Farul, Corrida Colosseum Audience ### Summary Page 11: Cavendish continues speaking from horseback, explaining why he despises the tournament even though he entered it. "In this world, the voices of those without resolve are nothing but noise," he says, adding that the life of a warrior is not to be shown for amusement. Rebecca quietly catches his words with "Gatcha," and the crowd is left startled. Luffy, impressed despite himself, shouts, "Wow, you really said it, cabbage! Maybe you're not so bad after all!! But I still hate you." Cavendish answers the crowd with formal thanks to Farul, but Luffy's blunt praise from the prison dorms makes the moment stranger. The page reframes Cavendish: vain and dramatic, but capable of real contempt for cowardly spectators. Page 12: Cavendish immediately becomes the crowd's beloved hero. The audience shouts, "Cavendish!!" "Cavendish-sama!" "What a great person!" and even, "We don't even care about Rebecca anymore!! We're cheering for you!!" Someone marvels that he took on a storm of boos and repainted it into cheers. Cavendish basks in the attention, saying, "I'm so popular!! I couldn't be happier!" and adds that it has been three long years. Luffy asks whether he is happy now, but another fighter gets the point more clearly: the audience is inherently selfish, and they are fickle to a maddening degree. Cavendish looks sharp again in the final panel, the charm and resentment both still alive under the applause.
