## One Piece Chapter 726, pages 3-4: The Riku Clan - Chapter: 726 - Pages: 3-4 - Characters: Riku Doldo III, Tank Lepanto, Rebecca, Elizabello II, Viola ### Summary Page 3: Riku Doldo III confirms the truth with exhausted dignity: "...Indeed, I am. But you should no longer call me 'king'. Squad captain Tank." Tank cries out, "King Riku!!! Thank goodness you're alive...!!!" Riku answers that after falling to such depths within the earth, there is no use hiding anymore. The page identifies him as Former King of Dressrosa: Riku Doldo III, Rebecca's grandfather. Riku says, "I'm merely an old man at this point. An old man with naught but a grandchild I could not save... and my deep crimes." When someone asks whether he is alive after all, Riku answers, "No need to say it... I'm already aware...!!" and admits, "The truth is, I am now far too Doflamingo's... It's been far too long!!" His survival is not triumphant; it is burdened by guilt. Page 4: The trapped fighters react to Riku's presence. Elizabello II says, "You're protecting Viola for me, right?" and tells him, "It must have been a painful decision! I would never doubt a man as virtuous as yourself." Someone says, "No, compared to yours, it was nothing...!" Then the crowd realizes, "Hey, what the hell!? So you were King Riku all along!!!" Another voice calls him "the king of prodense," and Elizabello embraces him with emotion: "This brings back memories!! You aided my country during hard times all too often!! Glad to see you alive!!" Yet the larger political damage remains. Elizabello says that ever since Riku vanished, the balance among surrounding countries has been thrown off and there has been nothing but war: "It's gotten to be a real pain...!!"
