## One Piece Chapter 728, pages 5-7: The Tragic Ranks - Chapter: 728 - Pages: 5-7 - Characters: Riku Doldo III, Donquixote Doflamingo, Diamante, Trebol, Pica ### Summary Page 5: The public's grief curdles into rage. The same people who loved King Riku now believe he has robbed and slaughtered them for selfish reasons. Voices rise across the city: "King Riku is trampling all over our hearts!!" "He stole our money, and now he means to kill us!!!" "All in his own self-interest...!! He's treating us like garbage!" The verdict hardens into hatred: "An inhuman piece of shit!!!" and finally, "Damn you, King Riku...!!! I hate you...!!!" The Riku Royal Army approaches, and the streets erupt again: "The Riku Royal Army is coming!!" "Hey, get away from there!! Run away!!" A victim pleads, "Sa... save me...!!" while Doflamingo's scheme succeeds: the kingdom is made to curse the king who is himself a victim. Page 6: At the height of the chaos, the Donquixote Family enters as if they are saviors. Doflamingo descends upon the ruined city, laughing while his crew cuts through the controlled royal soldiers and frightened citizens stare in shock. People ask, "W-who are you people...?" and Doflamingo gives Dressrosa the answer he has prepared for this very moment: "My name is Donquixote Doflamingo!!! I've come to save this land!!!" The double spread makes the lie enormous. The man who engineered the nightmare stands above it as the supposed rescuer, while Diamante, Trebol, Pica, and the rest of the family display the force that will replace Riku's rule. Dressrosa sees pirates bringing down the army, not knowing that the rescue is only another layer of the same trap. Page 7: Doflamingo tightens the performance. As the people watch his family defeat the royal army, he urges them to surrender to the chaos: "Now fall... give in to the mayhem!!" The citizens see pirates but also see the men who have taken down the army for them. Names spread through the crowd: "Diamante!! Pica, Trebol..." Doflamingo calls the soldiers and the old order "this country's trash" and commands his officers to remove it. The terrified crowd begins to chant the name he wants them to trust: "Doflamingo!!" The page shows the coup's final emotional turn: fear becomes gratitude, gratitude becomes worship, and the criminal who made Dressrosa bleed is accepted as the hero who saved it.
