## One Piece Chapter 727, pages 5-6: The Ambushing Hero - Chapter: 727 - Pages: 5-6 - Characters: Donquixote Doflamingo, Riku Doldo III ### Summary 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, without explaining the threat and without receiving foreign aid. Doflamingo knows exactly how cruel the request is and enjoys watching the king trapped by his own responsibility.
