      “The Riku Clan”
      Page 3:
      Blurb: “In the basement of the colosseum is…”
      Someone: “Guahh!!”
      Sai: “Oh, oh…”
      “They keep falling, one after the other…!!!”
      Someone: “Gyahhh”
      Kelly: “Uuhhh…”
      Ideo: “Haa… haa…”
      Boo: “Ah… gramps!!”
      “Big bro, too!!!”
      “Uhh, shit cough cough!! What the hell is this!!?”
      “A mountain of garbage and toys!!?”
      Sai: “So you came too, Boo…”
      “That’s also what we want to know…!!”
      “You should move from there. Others will be falling”
      Page 4:
      Ricky: “…To think that in this country’s underground…”
      “Such a massive scrapheap would exist…”
      Text: “Former Gladiator Ricky”
      Lepanto: “If I’m wrong… then please forgive me, but…!!”
      “I just have this nagging feeling…”
      Text: “Dressrosa Squad Captain: Tank Lepanto”
      “Yer… I mean… you are…!!”
      “King Riku…”
      “Aren’t you…!?”
      Someone: “King Riku!!?”
      Abdullah: “King Riku!!? Don’t be stupid…”
      “Isn’t he dead…!?”
      Jeet: “Shihahaha Dressrosa’s…”
      “Last king…”
      “I heard he just went mad”
      Page 5:
      Ricky: “After falling to such depths within the earth…”
      “I suppose there’s no use in hiding it anymore…”
      “…Indeed, I am.”
      “But you should no longer call me “king””
      “Squad Captain Tank”
      “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”
      Text box: “Former King of Dressrosa: Riku Dorde III (Rebecca’s Grandfather)”
      Others: “It’s King Riku!!!”
      “So he’s alive after all!!!”
      Lepanto: “King Riku…!! Thank goodness you’re alive…!!!”
      “It’s been far too long!! …!!”
      “The truth is, I am now Doflamingo’s…”
      Riku: “No need to say it… I’m already aware…!!”
      Page 6:
      Riku: “You’re protecting Viola for me, right?”
      “I would never doubt a man as virtuous as yourself”
      “It must have been a painful decision…!!!”
      Lepanto: “No, compared to yours, it was nothing…!!!”
      Eliz: “Hey, what the hell!? So you were King Riku all along!!!”
      Riku: “…Ahh”
      “The King of Prodense…!!”
      Eliz: “This brings back memories!! You aided my country during hard times all too often!!”
      “Glad to see you alive!!”
      Riku: “Oi, oi”
      Eliz: “Ever since you vanished…”
      “The balance between the surrounding countries was thrown, and there’s been nothing but war!!”
      “It’s gotten to be a real pain…!!!”
      Page 7:
      Sai: “Elizabello!! It might be a pain to you…”
      “But one man’s pain is another’s profit!!”
      “There’s someone who’s been drumming up the wars from behind the scenes”
      “And doing quite well for himself as a result…!!!”
      Boo: “He keeps selling weapons to these warring nations!!”
      DC: “Hiya haya it’s the broker, “Joker”!! That’s Doflamingo’s underworld alias”
      “But we don’t know where the weapons are being made and stored”
      “In regards to the wars of our fair Kanokuni…”
      “He’s been providing weapons to our enemies”
      Sai: “So our Happou Navy, under orders from the king of Kanokuni…”
      “Has come to put a stop to this secret weapons trade! That’s our true purpose here!!”
      “King Riku! Your strange actions led to Doflamingo becoming king…”
      “And thanks to that, neighboring countries are facing untold hardship!!!”
      Page 8:
      Dagama: “You’re right, Elizabello-sama!!”
      “In our country’s past, Dressrosa was surely”
      “A great benefactor…”
      “But now, the name “King Riku”…”
      Lepanto: “Shut your mouth, Dagama!!!”
      “Those who don’t know the truth of the incident 10 years ago…”
      “Those who know nothing of the tragedy of that day will not speak to the character of our king!!!”
      Riku: “Tank! It’s fine. At this point…”
      Guy: “King Riku, I too… was a soldier in your army”
      “Me too”
      “I, as well…!! King Riku!”
      Page 9:
      Guys: “Uwahh!! What the!!? The toys are moving!!”
      “I thought they were all dead and broken!!?”
      Pirate: “These former soldiers of Dressrosa…”
      “Even some of the toys are bowing down…”
      “What’s going on here…!?”
      “I thought this King Riku was hated by his countrymen…”
      Page 10:
      Hack: “With as large a pitfall as this…”
      “The basement is bound to hold other secrets”
      Someone: “Understood. Continue your investigation”
      Sai: “Nuhh!?”
      “Ohh!? Wha-wha-what’s going on now!!?”
      DC (top left): “Sai!!”
      Boo (bottom right): “Big bro!!!”
      Sai: “Owahhhh!!”
      Page 11:
      Trebol: “Behehe, right, right”
      “It’s over, so no need to worry anymore”
      “ “Cause humans no harm” “
      “ “Obey all orders from the Family” “
      “Follow those rules, and don’t forget them”
      “You fighters are all “power” types”
      “Just go straight and exit through that door…”
      “And head to the factory and the port!!”
      “Work hard, now!!”
      Sai: “What now!?”
      “I can’t control my own body!!”
      “I can’t disobey his orders!!”
      “Just what…”
      “Has happened to me!!?”
      Page 12:
      Text: “Colosseum: Prisoner Gladiator Lodging”
      Luffy: “Go!!! Rebecca!!!”
      “Oi!! Nevermind Cabbage for now, Rebecca! Show ‘em how it’s done!!”
      “Hmm!!? Now that I think about it, it’s kind of hard to see from here!!”
      “I’m gonna find a closer place to cheer from!!”
      Prisoner: “…Ahh”
      Luffy: “But wait. I thought this country looked like a lot of fun, and everyone seemed happy, but…!!”
      “Looking at you guys… that’s not really true, huh!!”
      Guy: “What you saw was the bright and shining world of the “winners” “
      “Doflamingo has split us into subservient winners…”
      “And rebellious losers…!! Just like with the World Government, really…”
      “The losers who stray from the system are treated like garbage”
      “And if garbage remains hidden in the shadows… then the country retains its image”
      Page 13:
      Sabo: “The garbage is here”
      Ace: “Let’s go treasure-hunting!!”
      Luffy: “Sounds a lot like…”
      “The place where I grew up…”
      Guy: “Once you open your eyes, you’ll start to be ill at ease here…”
      “…And we feel that there’s an even greater darkness at play…”
      “You should be careful as well…”
      Sfx: clack
      Barto: “Ehh!!?”
      Luffy: “Hmm?”
      Barto: “Ahhhhhh”
      Page 14:
      Text: “ “Flower Fields:” Riku Royal Fighters’ Rebellion HQ”
      Gancho: “This is a tale of long ago…”
      “Our Tontatta tribe…”
      “Without a country of its own, set out to sea in search of resources”
      “But they were often discovered by big humans and were on the verge of extinction…”
      Guy: “I found a dwarf!!”
      Dwarf: “Wahh!!”
      Gancho: “But then, the king of the neighboring land, Dressrosa…”
      “In exchange for “a bit of labor”…”
      “Suggested a pact that would grant us resources and safety”
      “The name of that king was “Donquixote””
      “That arrangement continued until 900 years ago…!!
      “Up until the worst time of the Tontatta tribe’s history”
      Page 15:
      “Then came “The Age of Slavery””
      “In what texts remain from that time are the details of the cruelty of that royal family”
      “They were truly demons!!! Unbeknownst to all, they forced the Tontatta to labor deep underground…”
      “While the big humans on the surface lived in luxury off the wealth we produced”
      “Then, what occurred in the Void Century is unknown, but…”
      “800 years ago…!! A new king of Dressrosa was born”
      All: “King Riku!!!”
      “When King Riku came to know of the unimaginable labor…”
      “That the dwarves had endured for centuries, underground…”
      “He wept… and they say that he made the most sincere apology”
      “What’s more, the course that the new king decided on…”
      “Was “atonement””
      Page 16:
      Gancho: “He declared that the dwarves could take all they needed to live, with no need to labor”
      “And the king pacified the citizens by telling them…”
      “That it was simply the work of “fairies”… Thus, incredibly…”
      “The “legend of the fairies” took root in this country…!!”
      “While ruled over by the kindly Riku Clan…”
      “This country spared no expense in the aid of neighboring lands”
      “It wasn’t the richest country, but…”
      “It became a splendid one, filled with smiles”
      “Unnoticed, our ancestors, in praise of the kind-hearted Riku King…”
      “Turned the land into a verdant paradise”
      “Where beautiful flowers bloomed throughout…”
      Page 17:
      Gancho: “For 800 years, such has been the ties between our Tontatta Kingdom…”
      “And generation after generation of the Riku Royal Family…!!”
      “But then, after the passing of 900 years…”
      “The descendant of the Donquixote line, Doflamingo, made his return…”
      “And unbelievably, he intends to repeat…”
      “That truly evil history of so long ago!!!”
      “And already, starting with my daughter, Manshelly…”
      “500 of our tribesmen have fallen to his evil ways!!!”
      All: “We won’t let history repeat itself!!!”
      Leo: “Uohhhhh!!!”
      All: “That’s right!! Today we fight!!!”
      Thunder: “Indeed. For both Dressrosa and the Tontatta, the Donquixote homecoming…”
      “Has brought nothing but woe!!”
      Page 18:
      Usopp: “That’s what I was thinking, too!!!”
      Dwarves: “Uohhh, just as expected!!”
      “Ussoland!!”
      “Ussoland!!”
      Franky: “Ohhhh!! That Riku King sure was a great guy, being so kind to a bunch of little bug people”
      Dwarves: “Who’re you calling bugs!!!”
      Franky: “I mean it in a good way…”
      Dwarves: “Oh, well thanks, then!!”
      Robin: “But Captain-san, just now, that female gladiator in the colosseum…”
      “Was being booed and called “the granddaughter of King Riku””
      “It seems as though the people of this country despise King Riku…”
      Usopp: “That’s what I was thinking, too!!!”
      Dwarves: “Ohhh, Ussoland!!”
      Thunder: “Ten years ago… King Riku lost the trust of the people…”
      “In an incident that occurred one awful night”
      “But the citizens don’t know the truth behind it…!!!”
      “To the bitter end, the king tried to protect the country”
      “At that time, Doflamingo attempted to eradicate the Riku clan…”
      “But I took under my wing Rebecca, who shares the royal blood of King Riku”
      Page 19:
      Thunder: “We ran and ran, for years”
      “But in the end, we were caught”
      Rebecca: “Soldier-san is always brave~”
      Thunder: “And now… she endures the public’s scorn in the Colosseum!!”
      “If it means protecting King Riku’s honor and Rebecca’s life…”
      “I don’t care when or where I die!! I’m staking it all on this fight!!!”
      Usopp: “Just who are you…”
      Thunder: “I could not protect Rebecca’s mother”
      “There is not a single moment when I forget that day!!”
      “That child may not remember me…”
      “Given my transformation into a toy…”
      “But I am…”
      “Rebecca’s father”
      Blurb: “She bears that blood!! That destiny!!”

              Loving that Oda put each of the crew's "numbers" on their clothes in the colour spread.

                    Awesome chapter, even if more then half of it deals with peripheral characters. That's not a bad thing by any means, just saying how I remember some people whining about how "this tournament is too long and boring" without giving it any chance for some kind of buildup.

                      Brook looks really awesome as a kid and I didn't expect Trebol to be the Toy Fruit user….I thought he ate like a devil fruit that turns him into a slime when he was first shown. Also, we finally get some revelations. Slavery runs in Doflamingo's family heritage, Gladiator Ricky is King Riku, Rebecca's grandfather and the Toy Soldier is Rebecca's father.

                        an entire chapter of world building and info,nice.
                        even though most of the info were already heavely hinted in the past chapters.

                        only thing that sounds strange it's how sai is now unable to control his body,while on the surface we have seen plenty of toys that know who they are but have total control over their actions,mr soldier included.

                          So Trebol is the one who gives the brainwashing orders that the toys can't disobey. Yeah, he's most likely the toy DF user.

                                      Riku is probably the name of the family.

                                        Riku is their family name, like donquixote is doflamingo family name.

                                                So Trebol is the one who gives the brainwashing orders that the toys can't disobey. Yeah, he's most likely the toy DF user.

                                                or maybe it is just someone from his squad..a toy-toy fruit woudn't explain his slimey appereance

                                                  Really cool chapter. It will be weird if whoever does the memory wiping can do that in a fight and make the Strawhats forget people from their own crew.

                                                    The scene with the toys getting up and bowing with the other former Riku Army members is chill inducing

                                                      riku is the surname
                                                      so every king from the riku family is "king riku",both the one of the present and the one from 800 years ago.

                                                          I was thinking the same thing but…there are toys based on putty slime? Unless he had the ability to change himself into a toy and used toy like powers?

                                                            just like some chapters, the spoiler for this chapter make it sounds like a pretty dull chapter but when we get to actually read the chapter, it turned out to be a great one. when the toys and gladiators bow to the king, when the former riku apologized to the dwarves, they are far better than it actually sound in the spoiler.

                                                            prediction time : viola = violet, violet = scarlet's sister = rebecca's aunt = riku's daughter, violet not joining the crew

                                                              Really cool chapter. It will be weird if whoever does the memory wiping can do that in a fight and make the Strawhats forget people from their own crew.

                                                              That really lame anime filler arc where they lost their memories comes to mind.

                                                                                Awesome chapter, even if more then half of it deals with peripheral characters. That's not a bad thing by any means, just saying how I remember some people whining about how "this tournament is too long and boring" without giving it any chance for some kind of buildup.

                                                                                Everyone on youtube was bitching about it (if i recall everybody bandwagoned on Sawyers video who kept refering to them as unimportant fodder- fucking youtubers it took a well worded response from Code provider to shut them the fuck up but then it was "well you didnt have to confront him, its only his opinion" )

                                                                                either way it was spectacular to see these "fodder" characters reused and now many people owe me money for stating a reason why Oda would bother to give them names and backstories was to reuse them in the upcoming battle and it seems to be going that way.

                                                                                either way informative chapter not a lot of action but the climax approaches so lets rock it. seems like all the needed exposition is out of the way, time for a showdown on dressrosa.

                                                                                10/10

                                                                                  Interesting Info:

                                                                                  • Riku, Daldo is Rebeccas grandfather.
                                                                                  • Soldier San is pretty much confirmed as to being Kyros. He is Rebeccas father + his quote a few chapters back about Rebecca having the same kings blood as her mother making him not a royal and his lost leg we can surely assume that he is Kyros.
                                                                                  • Viola mentioned by Riku is surely Violet making her maybe the upcoming queen of Dressrosa ?!
                                                                                  • Trebol uses his slime to transform people into toys giving them a certain set of rules which at first they cant disobey.

                                                                                  Dressrosa overall theme: Oda came out strong this chapter regarding the overall theme of Dressrosa. Inequality in western societies. Gentrification and so on. I have to say that this is really really great after picking up racism in the fishman island storyline. This is what make's One Piece the best manga there is. Every other Shonen just brings in some Pseudo morality from time to time but Oda really nails it most of the time focusing on comtemporary topics that have a strong value how kids and people in general view society. We have some of the problems he is mentioning in this chapter in our societies. Making the connection to Luffys time at Dadan's and all the dead killed by Bluejam in the garbage fire. Luffy is starting to hate Flamingo more and more and i see an epic showdown between them. Dont have time to get into anymore but let me say this:

                                                                                  Furthering the inequality theme and making the connection with Luffys past + plus the tontatta information of this chapter Dressrosa connecting history with todays development is so amazing. This maybe going to be the best arc the manga has had so far and the chapter was one of the most interesting chapter of this arc so far. 10/10

                                                                                  Predicition January 14\. 2016\. Sanji is the son of the King of the Underworld in North Blue. There is a poneglyph on Zou or other documents about the lost century. ![](images/smilies/ipb/ninja.png "Ninja")

                                                                                        Or is it something else ?

                                                                                            This is the first time in a long time that I read a chapter without viewing spoilers… and it is awesome! I recommend it to everyone. 🙂

                                                                                            Trebol is the fucking toy-maker. Honestly, that is the most shocking thing I ever experience in this series, since almost everything I have predicted into some extent due to the predictable nature of One Piece. I'm pretty sure there is a logia thing going on with him back then. And even in this chapter, didn't he stretch his hand to kidnap Sai? He displays absolute control towards toy which pretty much confirm that he has the toy df, so what is he a slime person?

                                                                                            That Viola person is probably Violet. And I know that it is crazy but right now the chances that multiple-devil-fruit-per-person capability is not exclusive to Black Beard has gone up a bit (which directly affects the posibility of Luffy eating mera-mera).

                                                                                            Some long-term predictions: Vegapunk with Paw-Paw fruit for Nakama!!! Kaidou is gonna be killed by Blackbeard and get his strongest Zoan DF!!!

                                                                                                I'm thinking Viola might be Rebecca's sister. Has it been said anywhere that she has no other family? Maybe the guards took her and hid her away? She also wants to kill a man - Doflamingo? Or perhaps she blames Ricky for what happened, not knowing the truth (not being there that night, thus being saved?) and recognizes her grandfather, wanting to kill him. It might also explain how she acted when she saw Rebecca on-screen?

                                                                                                Just rough guesses. I doubt she's a cousin - too removed, family-wise. Oda doesn't really use those outside immediate family - Grandparents, Parents and children - so I think she's either immediate family or not related at all. Mother doesn't fit since we know Rebecca's mother died and she's too young for that anyway, so sister fits best. She's around the same age as Rebecca, maybe a bit older or younger, depending, so she's of an age that traumatic experiences could affect her memory.

                                                                                                  Or is it something else ?

                                                                                                  It's probably that new toys are completely controlled by the family. Then eventually you are able to break free from the control, the longer you are a toy.

If they lose this fight with the help of some of the Strawhats, than there might be nothing to rescue left.

                                                                                                        can't see how you guys think Trebol is the toy man. I'd say the real one just gave Trebol "authority" over Sai.

                                                                                                        Good chapter. A lot of things that were heavily hinted at were confirmed. Colorspread was great. Nice touch with the the numbers and character colors.

                                                                                                        Trebol was stating what the rules where like he had to put them in place as conditions before Sai woke up. If he already had control from the "real" toymaker already doing that, then all he had to say was go out and work.
