The Once and Future King

Though Dressrosa experienced an unprecedented era of peace under the gentle Riku Dynasty, everything is upended when Don Quixote Doflamingo unexpectedly returns. In a shocking turn of events, Doflamingo frames the king, bringing about the end of the Riku Dynasty.

While King Riku and the other losing combatants ponder their situation, Trebol captures a helpless prisoner and mysteriously transforms him into a subservient toy!

The battle lines are drawn and the climax nears! Who will take control of Dressrosa?!

How in tarnation did the Straw Hats get mixed up in Don Quixote Doflamingo’s dirty business? The adventure begins in Punk Hazard with volume 67 of One Piece!
