Short Summary
Luffy listens as Rebecca told him about her history with the toy soldier whom Luffy met when he first came to the island. The toy soldier was her guardian when her mother died, and raised her in her childhood. When the stadium repairs completed, Rebecca hears her que and proceeds to the ring leaving Luffy with the imprisoned gladiatiors for company.

As he 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. Eventually, Scarlett lost her life trying to get food for Rebecca and Thunder Soldier failed to protect her. The toy soldier then vowed to protect the young daughter of the woman he failed to save. It was at that time that Doflamingo became king and made the previous king the most hated man in the country. Over the years, the toy soldier protected Rebecca until he became a wanted man and was forced to leave her after teaching her self defence swordsmanship making Rebecca what she is now.

Rebecca then reaches the ring, where Gatz announces her arrival and the crowd sent a torrent of boos and jeers at her, proclaiming her as the heir of her grandfather King Riku, the traitorous brute who pillage their country years ago.
