## One Piece Chapter 727: The Ambushing Hero - Chapter: 727 - Pages: 0-17 - Characters: Caribou, Rebecca, Rolling Logan, Toy Soldier, Usopp, Nico Robin, Leo, Monet, Riku Doldo III, Scarlett, Donquixote Doflamingo, Tank Lepanto ### Summary Page 0: Chapter 727, "The Ambushing Hero," opens with Caribou's Kehihihihi in the New World - Volume 42 - "Complete Annihilation for the Defiant! The Captain is Escorted Away." A stern captain is led away through a ruined snowy settlement, the battlefield around him littered with wreckage and fallen enemies. The cover story shows that the rebellion surrounding Caribou's mistaken identity has become violent and political, with authority now dragging its defeated opponent from the scene. Page 1: In the Corrida Colosseum, D-block turns into a storm of bodies and dust. The announcer cries for Rebecca to stop running, while the spectators shout, "Stop running away!!" and jeer that she is being overpowered. Rolling Logan barrels after her, and someone yells, "Rebecca is running back and forth!!" The other fighters begin aiming for her at the same time, and the crowd notices they are all getting knocked down after the other. Rebecca breathes hard, but she keeps moving, refusing to spill blood even as the arena demands it. A voice shouts, "Fight, and spill your blood!!" and another cries, "That's dirty, Rebecca! Stand up and fight!!" The scene frames her not as weak, but as someone surviving inside a bloodthirsty system that hates her for refusing its rules. Page 2: The toy soldier reveals Rebecca's lineage to Usopp, Robin, and the Tontatta. He says Rebecca is part of the cursed family, and the others connect the pieces: the toy had said he was her father, so she must be the granddaughter of King Riku. Usopp blurts, "Which means, back when you were a human, you..." and the soldier confirms the truth without pride or hesitation. He explains that it all began on the night Rebecca started serving at the royal palace. Someone asks whether her mother was Monet, but the soldier corrects the idea and says there began Rebecca's tragedy. The past that Doflamingo buried is no longer an abstract political crime; it is the personal history of a child, her mother, and the father turned into a toy. Page 3: Usopp reacts to the story with confusion, first guessing, "The bird woman of Punk Hazard?" and then realizing the woman in question is not Monet. The toy soldier explains that in the past ten years, Dressrosa looked peaceful from outside, but the land itself and the people changed. He says the country was protected by the Riku king and by the peace that had existed before Doflamingo's return. Rebecca's mother, Scarlett, had lived hidden from the world, yet she and her daughter were not spared by the coup. The soldier admits he once wanted to eat alone and live simply, but the greatest thing was that people could live in peace. The tragedy is not only that Doflamingo took power; it is that he destroyed a quiet life that had no interest in war or the throne. 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. Page 6: Doflamingo says he should simply take over and not give Riku a chance at all, then makes the conditions harsher. "By all rights," he says, Dressrosa does not belong to Riku. He orders the king not to make the demand known to the people and gives him until dawn: "You have until dawn tomorrow!! Do not collect any from outside nations..." If Riku tests Doflamingo's power as king, he will lose. The page turns a royal audience into extortion. Riku has one night to gather ten billion berries from the people he has protected for years, withou...
