Volume 74 opens with the full-color cover for One Piece, gathering the Dressrosa cast around Luffy. Sugar stands at the center with a crown-like hood, while Usopp, Bartolomeo, Rebecca, Franky, and other Dressrosa figures fill the composition around her. The image signals the volume's focus on Dressrosa's hidden players, the tournament, the Tontatta operation, and the strange power that has turned citizens into toys.

The volume jacket and interior collage repeat the Dressrosa Operation SOP imagery, combining the cover with black-and-white snippets of the Toy Soldier, Sugar, the Tontatta, and the operation briefing. As a useful extra, it reinforces the volume's central material: the Straw Hats are divided, the underground world matters, and the hidden enemy network beneath Dressrosa is now the story's key battleground.

A black-and-white volume illustration shows Luffy and Chopper with little hanging dolls of the crew. It is not a story page, but it is a useful volume extra tied to the Dressrosa theme of bodies, identities, and toy-like forms. Luffy smiles with a small doll in his hand while Chopper stands below, and the image works as a playful pause before the volume information and story recap.

The character page lists the Straw Hat Crew: Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Tony Tony Chopper, Nami, Nico Robin, Usopp, Franky, Sanji, and Brook. The page also summarizes the current situation: the Straw Hats have infiltrated Dressrosa, Law has begun moving under Doflamingo's pressure, and Luffy is trying to leave the colosseum after a sudden encounter. It is reference material rather than a new scene, but it helps keep the cast and situation aligned before the chapter begins.

The story guide introduces several forces relevant to this volume: Shanks, Momonosuke, Kin'emon, the Donquixote Pirates, Donquixote Doflamingo, Trafalgar Law, Caesar Clown, Fujitora, the Tontatta Kingdom, Violet, Rebecca, and the Toy Soldier. It also identifies Doflamingo's family officers including Gladius, Sugar, and Dellinger. The recap explains that the Straw Hats reunite after two years, form an alliance with Law, and move toward Doflamingo through Caesar and Dressrosa. This is not fresh action, but it is useful contextual material for the chapter.

The contents page for One Piece Volume 74 lists the chapter lineup, beginning with Chapter 732, "The Underground World," and continuing through later Dressrosa chapters. The volume subtitle reads "Always By Your Side." This page is useful as publication context and confirms the title of the current chapter, but it does not add new story events.
06
Chapter 732 opens with the title "The Underground World" and a reader-request illustration: "Luffy plays beach flags with a lizard - Taz-san from Kyoto." Luffy lunges through beach sand with a lizard competitor as they race for a flag marked with a skull. It is a playful cover request rather than part of the Dressrosa plot, but it is still useful extra content attached to the chapter.

At Dressrosa's Flower Fields, the Riku Royal Army rebellion headquarters roars as the plan moves ahead. The Toy Soldier explains the next step: they will take the underground passage from the Flower Fields and emerge into the commerce port, deep in enemy territory. The objective is narrowed to one target: "All we're after is that one little girl!!!" Sugar's face fills the plan like the lock on the whole country. The rebels shout her name and warn that she may look like a girl, but must not be underestimated. The operation is simple in wording and dangerous in execution: reach the underground world, get close to Sugar, and knock her out before the Donquixote Family can stop them.

The rebels surge into motion, declaring that they will knock out Sugar and turn all the toys throughout the country back into humans. The Tontatta charge with wild enthusiasm, but the Toy Soldier admits that the narrow tunnel will be a tight fit for Robin and him. He tells Fraland that he will have to take off his shoulders and arms, because the passage is too small for a large human-bodied toy. The Tontatta had never assumed big humans would use the tunnel, so Robin and the Soldier will have to enter via the Toy House instead. The plan splits into two routes: the small fighters through the underground passage, the larger allies through the front of the system they are trying to break.

The Toy Soldier explains the Toy House's function. It stands at the base of the plateau that holds the royal palace, and every night all the toys return there. Humans are not allowed to step inside. The name "house" is misleading, because there are no beds or places to sleep; every night, all the toys labor until dawn. All that exists inside is a passage stretching down to the underground. Usopp realizes the horror of it, asking whether the toys in the city are always dead tired. He also understands the tactical opening: if Fraland goes through the Toy House, perhaps they can reach the SMILE factory as well.

Franky decides to turn his size into an advantage. Since there are four entrances in total, each in the cardinal directions and each heavily guarded, he says he will use the chance to go wild. While he distracts the guards, the others can hurry inside and take down Sugar. Franky charges straight toward the Toy House wearing a speedo, drawing immediate confusion from the guards: "What's with this guy?" "Is he wearing a speedo!?" Someone orders him to stand, but Franky has already volunteered himself as the loudest possible diversion. The page shows the plan taking shape: Franky will make himself the obvious target so the real mission can slip past.

The Toy House guards react to Franky. They question the weapon-like shape of his head and call him an idiot, then quickly recognize him: "Cyborg Franky!!!" The guards know he is a Straw Hat crew member and raise the alarm. Meanwhile, inside the Toy House, Senor Pink lounges with women around him. One woman tells him that if he stuffs his cheeks with tomato, his mouth will get sticky, and another gasps, "Ah... Senor!!" Senor Pink answers with a single cool phrase: "Hard-boiled!!" His exaggerated calm contrasts with the panic outside as Franky draws the Toy House defenders toward him.

Senor Pink appears fully as a Donquixote Family Diamante Army officer. Wearing baby clothes and surrounded by women who adore him, he tells them not to coil around him and not to play with younger men. They squeal for him while he says he does not like brats. The absurd outfit makes the guards' alarm even stranger, but Senor Pink's presence is serious: the Toy House is not defended only by grunts. A ranked Donquixote officer stands at the entrance Franky has chosen to attack, and his bizarre style hides a threat that will soon meet Franky's own ridiculous toughness.

Franky reaches the east door of the Toy House. Someone shouts that the east door is under attack and that someone has shown up. The Marines and guards identify him again: "It's a Straw Hat crew member!! Cyborg Franky!!" Franky does not wait for permission. He says, "Now let me in," and then prepares his attack: "Weapons Left... Fire!!" Senor Pink watches from the Toy House entrance while the guards panic. Franky's purpose is working exactly as intended. Every eye turns to him, every weapon points at him, and the path for the real infiltration begins to open through the chaos.

Franky's attack lands with enormous force. He unleashes "Coup de... Vent!!!" and the blast smashes into the Toy House, blowing open stonework and sending guards screaming. The impact shakes the street and draws every defender's attention. Senor Pink watches as the building erupts outward, and the page gives the attack the scale of a siege engine. Franky has not entered quietly and has not tried to hide. His diversion is a frontal assault, deliberately loud enough to pull the Donquixote Family's eyes away from Sugar and the underground passage.

The destruction spreads through the Toy House area. Guards and workers are flung through the air while people nearby scream. Someone points out that the idiots are rampaging and asks whether it is not the job of people allied with the World Government to protect a country. Doflamingo, watching from the palace, simply says, "So it's begun." Sugar, hidden within the system, hears the disturbance in the distance. The page ties the visible attack to the hidden stakes: Franky's chaos is not random; it is the opening signal of the operation that Doflamingo knows has started.

Inside the Toy House, the noise reaches Sugar and Trebol. Trebol reports that the Toy House is under attack, but tells Sugar not to pay it any mind. If the Straw Hat crew is going after the SMILE factory and somehow made it this far, Sugar could simply turn them all into toys. Sugar agrees with a calm "Yup," while eating grapes. Nobody even knows about her, she says, and Trebol laughs that nobody knows. That confidence is the heart of Doflamingo's system: the enemy is certain Sugar cannot be reached because her existence and importance are hidden from the world.

In the underground passage, the Tontatta and allies are almost at the goal. They hurry behind Leo while someone cries, "Captain!!" and another shouts, "Almost there now!!" News reaches them that Fraland is rampaging over at the Toy House, and the Toy Soldier says he hopes Franky is okay before deciding to take the opportunity to go wild himself. The group then receives worrying information: the family officers are standing guard at the Toy House. The Tontatta try to reassure him because Franky is a super cyborg, but the danger is real. The Diamante Army's battle brigade is in play, and the diversion is facing real officers, not only guards.

Leo explains how large Doflamingo's military truly is. The enemy has 2,000 grunts in Dressrosa under ten officers, and above them stand three elite officers, each commanding an army of their own with a special characteristic. In fighting competitions, their names boast a 100 percent win rate, and they are the big stars of the colosseum. Robin listens as the scale of the Donquixote Family becomes clear. Nobody knows the true extent of their strength, because much of it is hidden behind toys, factories, officers, and underground systems. The operation is not only against Sugar; it is against an organized military machine.

The Donquixote Family's structure is laid out in full. Doflamingo stands at the top, with the Pica Army as a special ops unit, the Diamante Army as a battle brigade, and the Trebol Army as the special abilities team. The page identifies figures across the family: elite officers Vergo and Monet are confirmed outside the country, while Gladius, Lao G, Sugar, Buffalo, Machvise, Senor Pink, Violet, Dellinger, Baby 5, and Jora appear among the ranks. Usopp is relieved that they will not fight the battle brigade again, but the point remains grim: every officer is strong, and each branch of the family can crush the rebellion in a different way.

The infiltration reaches the underground world. The Tontatta swarm through vents and passages while Robin and the others follow. Usopp apologizes to Usoland's followers as they enter the hidden complex, but the Tontatta answer politely: "Thank you." "Not at all." At last they arrive and announce, "We're here!! This is the underground world..." The place holds both the commerce port and the factory. The scale shifts from a tunnel to an entire hidden city beneath Dressrosa, proving that Doflamingo's country is built on a secret industrial underworld of forced labor and illegal trade.

The underground world is noisy and active. Robin wonders whether anyone can hear the disturbance above, while Usopp hears workers shouting nearby. Someone has dropped cargo, and a supervisor orders the crushed worker taken straight to the scrapheap. The worker begs, "W... wait... I can still work!! Stop it!!" but the order is merciless. The crew realizes that the labor force is treated like disposable machinery. Usopp hears something and calls to Robin, while the hidden world keeps moving around them. This is not only a factory; it is a port town where toys and prisoners are used until they break.

The final spread reveals the true scale of the underground port. A massive port town stretches beneath Dressrosa, complete with towers, cranes, pipes, cargo, walkways, ships, and workers moving goods under Doflamingo's hidden rule. A supervisor berates a worker, saying that if he gets greedy, the deal is off and that he is treating him like dirt only because he is backtalking. The stunned observers can only ask what the hell they are seeing. The answer is the chapter's title made visible: "It's a massive port town!!!" On an unforeseeable scale, Doflamingo has hidden an entire industrial world below the island.
