Blurb: “The girl is showered with jeers…”
Crowd: “Stop running!!”
“Stop running away!!!”
Gats: “Rebecca is running back and forth!!!”
“With Rolling Logan after her…”
“…The other fighters aiming for her…”
“…are getting mowed down one after the other!!!”
Crowd: “That’s dirty, Rebecca!!!”
“Stand up and fight!!!”
“Fight, and spill your blood!!!”
Rebecca: “Haa”
“Haa”
Page 3:
Crowd: “Stop running, Rebecca!!”
“You member of that cursed family!!!”
Usopp: “……That’s…”
“…You said that you’re her father… so if that’s true…”
“Then she’s the granddaughter of King Riku…”
“Which means, back when you were a human, you…!!”
Thunder: “It all began… on that night.”
Usopp: “That’s not an answer!!”
“Hey- you… and King Riku’s…”
Thunder: “No, I suppose it began much earlier than that”
“…With a woman named “Monet” “
“The day she started serving at the royal palace…”
Page 4:
Robin: “Monet, is it…?”
Usopp: “The bird woman of Punk Hazard!!?”
Thunder: “In these past 10 years… this country has really changed”
“The landscape… and the people as well”
Citizens: “You say you were attacked by pirates!?”
“Yeah, but the Riku Royal Army protected us”
“This drought won’t let up, yet our flowers refuse to wilt…”
“It’s all thanks to the fairies…”
Boy: “I wanna eat more!!”
Gramps: “You must have had enough if you’ve got the energy to stamp and shout like that… Even if it seems like we’re poor…”
“The most important thing is that we’re living in times of peace”
Page 5:
Thunder: “In the 800 years that the Riku Family ruled…”
“…This country never once saw war”
Robin: “…! That’s truly incredible…”
Thunder: “Indeed. That royal family could be called a miracle”
“Dressrosa was a nation of unparalleled peace…”
“But”
“Suddenly, a nightmare…”
SFX: whish
“Descended upon the palace”
Riku: “Who are you? Speak now!!!”
DD: “Don’t raise your voice…”
“And don’t call for anyone…!!”
Page 6:
DD: “I’m Donquixote Doflamingo”
“And I’ve returned home”
“As the rightful king of this land!!!”
Riku: “…Lately, I’ve been worried about a certain pirate named Donquixote”
DD: “…Of course. Your fears were well-grounded. I am indeed a member of that Donquixote clan…”
Riku: “I’ve heard that you’ve been attacking ships transporting the “Heavens’ Pay” tribute money from every country…”
“And that you used that to coerce the World Government into making you a Shichibukai”
DD: “Fufufuffuffuffuffu!! They’re concerned about how to deal with me…!!”
“Given that I don’t fear the Tenryuubito, they’re at a loss…!!”
“If you know of my position and power, then this conversation should be over quickly…”
Page 7:
DD: “King Riku! For ten billion berries…”
“I’ll sell you this country!!!”
Riku: “…!!! Such a sum… this country doesn’t possess that kind of…”
DD: “By all rights…”
“I should just take over and not even give you this chance”
“You have until dawn tomorrow!!”
“Do not request aid from outside nations…!!”
“And don’t make known to the people my existence”
“I, who would simply test your power as king”
Page 8:
Soldiers: “And what if we should fight…!!? King!!!”
Riku: “We mustn’t!!!”
“ “Fighting” would be worthy, but killing each other is something that humans should not do!!!”
“The fact that Dressrosa has been free of war for 800 years… is proof that we are no beasts”
“We will not become wild animals!! We’re human!! There shall be no killing!!!”
“There’s no time…!! Scatter to every town and village!!!”
“And gather up ten billion berries from throughout the land!!”
“Should you fail, this will become naught but a “Nation of Pirates”!!!”
“We will lose the trust of people, for a time…!!”
“But we only have a few hours!!!”
Page 9:
Riku: “When this is all over, we will atone in good faith!! We must!!”
“Lies and even well-intentioned deceptions will not be enough to weather this!!”
Soldier: “But”
“There are none in this country who could be called wealthy…!!”
Riku: “You will make collections up until the deadline!! The very life of this country depends on it!!!”
“So that Dressrosa might survive!!!”
Guy: “It’s the army…but… this late at night…!?”
“Squad Captain Tank!!!”
Tank: “Gather up all the cash in the town and bring it here!!!”
Someone: “Hey!! What’s going on!?”
“How could you … the King’ll have something to say about this!!”
Tank: “This is on the King’s orders!!”
Someone: “Eh!?”
Page 10:
Tank: “Hurry!!!”
“We can’t explain, and there’s no time!!”
“It’s no use…!! This sort of request is unthinkable…”
“Just trust in King Riku…!!! And bring as much as you can!”
“Bring all your money here!!!”
People: “Such a thing, all of a sudden…”
“It’s the Dendenmushi projector…!!!”
Sfx: bzz bzz
Riku: “Citizens of Dressrosa”
Guy: “It’s King Riku!!”
Riku: “I have an urgent request…!!”
“It’s so unreasonable that you may at first doubt what you’re hearing, but…”
“Without asking for an explanation… I need you to give me all the wealth of this nation”
Page 11:
Riku: “All your money!!!”
“I need you to lend me all of it!!!”
Guy: “The king… bowing like that…”
“But why are we doing this…!!”
“And so suddenly…!!?”
Chancellor: “King!!! There’s no need to bow so low!!!”
“You mustn’t!!!”
“You’re the king of this land!!”
Sfx: stare
“Please stop that! Raise up your head!!!”
Page 12:
“Showing this sort of foolishness to the public is an act unfit for this line of kings!!!”
“You’ll be the laughingstock of the world!!! Please stop that!!!”
Riku: “I beg of you!!!”
“This is no jest or jape! If need be, I will prove it…”
“…by cutting off my own hands and feet!!!”
“Tank, listen…”
“In case all goes awry…!! At least I’ll bring down that Doflamingo…!!”
“I’ll leave it to you to request aid from other nations and deal with the aftermath!!”
Page 13:
Tank: “Ffff”
“Ffff”
“We have to get that money, no matter what…!!!”
People: “Hurry up, everyone!! Just as the King said!!! Gather up all your money!!”
“Our kindly King Riku would never make such a request with malice in his heart!!”
“This is no small thing, so there must be a reason!!”
“Let’s bring all our money here!!!”
Tank: “This is the virtue… of our king…”
“I’m sorry!!!”
“This is the trust built by the Riku Family over 800 years”
“What an amazing country!!! Surely we’ll be saved!!!”
“We humbly borrow this from you!!!
Page 14:
“Bring all the wealth of the nation…”
“…to the palace!!!”
“Hurry!!!”
Soldier: “Squad Captain Tank! In Sevio, the king is…!!”
“Look at the screen!!”
Tank: “What’s this now!?”
Text: “Southern Town Sevio”
Soldier: “My liege, you needn’t have come here yourself!!”
Riku: “Run away…!!”
Man: “King Riku!! We don’t know why this is happening, but…”
“…We believe in y-“
Riku: “Run away…!!”
Man: “Gyahh!!!”
Sfx: tighten
burn burn
People: “Eh!!? King Riku, what’re you…!!?”
Page 15:
Sfx: fwoosh
Tears sfx: drip drip
People: “Kyahh!!”
Page 16:
Riku: “Stop…!!!”
Sfx: drip drip
Riku: “Please stop!!!”
Soldier: “King Riku, please stop this!!! Did we do something wrong!!?”
Sfx: chaki
Riku: “Out of the way!!! Don’t come near me!! Get away from me!!!”
All: “Uwahhh!!!”
Woman: “Kyahhh”
“Even the soldiers…!!”
Riku: “My body…”
“Is moving on its own…!!!”
Page 17:
Tank: “My King…??”
“What on earth are you doing!??”
DD: “Fuffuffuffu”
“How terrible… fufufu”
“What an awful King…”
“Well, now this night will truly begin, my soldiers”
“Dance for me!!”
“ “Parasite”!!”
TN: “The attack’s kanji are “parasite thread,” with the word “thread” (ito) embedded in the Japanese pronunciation of “Parasite” (parasaito) as a pun”
Page 18: (note to Tobi: even though they share panels, I’m splitting up all the lines written explicitly on pages 18 and 19 respectively)
People: “Uwahhh!!!”
“Even the soldiers are rampaging now!!!”
Soldier: “Uwahh!!! Sq… Squad Captain!!”
People: “Why are you doing this, King Riku!!?”
“He’d never make such a mistake…!!”
Man: “Gyahh!!”
“Did we do something wrong…!!?”
Riku: “…No explanation can make this right, now…!!!”
“This country is done for…”
Riku (in big panel): “This was…”
Someone: “What’s happened to the king!!?”
Page 19:
Soldier: “I’m not doing this!! My body…”
Tank: “Haa… I know!! Me too!!!”
“…Why’s my body moving on its own…!!?”
“Haa”
“…!!? And the same thing is happening to the King…!!!”
Riku: “…Doflamingo’s trap!!!”
Someone: “Please stop!!”
Trebol: “Hey, hey, can we head out now, Doffy!?”
DD: “Idiot. No need to rush…”
“Fuffuffuffu!!”
“More, more…!!! I want the whole country trembling with fear!! And then, when they’ve come to hate King Riku with all their hearts…!!”
“That’s when the hero will appear…!!!”
Blurb: “The lurking “hero” [kanji under hero reads as “malice”]!!”
