When the stadium repairs are completed, Rebecca hears her que and proceeds to the ring leaving Luffy with the imprisoned gladiatiors for company.

As she walks toward with the other combatants, Rebecca recalls her past when she was little. As a young girl, she helps her mother Scarlett sell flowers for a living. When the kingdom soldiers pillaged their own country, they managed to escape to safety with the help from Thunder Soldier.
