Bullfighting arena, the residence of exclusive gladiators.

It is said to be a residence, but it is actually similar to a prison.

There are iron fences all around, and there are other sword fighters living there.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't bring much money with me..." Rebecca felt a little guilty because she only bought a box of lunch for Luffy, not even Chen Qi's.

Chen Qi smiled: "Didn't I tell you? I'm not hungry at all."

Luffy took the box lunch but ate it with relish: "It's alright, thank you for inviting me to dinner, where is this place?"

Rebecca said, "This is the dormitory of our Gladiators, but some people call it a 'prison'. Because the guest players won't come here, you can stay here until you play."

Chen Qi: "Really? That's really good, you can avoid those annoying guys from Green Pepper and Cavendish."

Rebecca smiled: "The match just now was too intense, I'm shocked, Lucy, you are so strong!"

"Well, it's okay, but the bento in this arena is really delicious! Aren't you hungry?" Luffy's mouth was full, and he praised.

Rebecca: "I'm...not hungry at all!"

Luffy looked at her: "What, you are the same as those samurai (Kinemon, Momanosuke)."

"Hey!"

While the three were chatting, everyone only heard a heavy sigh in the inner prison.

"Hey? Who are you? Mummies?" Because the cell was dark, Luffy waited to see that there were still people inside. Because the man was almost covered in bandages, Luffy couldn't help but say this.

"We are 'Prisoner Gladiators'." The bandaged mummy made a simple self-introduction, "Isn't Rebecca fighting all the time? Although I don't know when she will be killed in the ring just to entertain the public. ."

Chen Qi broke into a cold sweat: "Don't say such depressing words."

Rebecca also sighed softly: "Because we have all disobeyed the Doflamingo family..."

"Mummy" was a little sad: "Although the king said that if he won 100 wins, he would be able to regain his freedom, but no matter how strong he is, he will definitely die."

The prisoner Gladiator next to him said, "Everyone who planned to escape from here was also shot."

The more the mummy said, the lower the mood: "We have nowhere to run... Ten years ago, before Doflamingo became king, sword fighting was not a killing game, and it doesn't matter at today's convention. The means only need to win..."

The person next to him was full of anger: "I will use the ability to burn the fruit to bring down Doflamingo!"

At this time, Rebecca told everyone the truth: "Today, the army led by Mr. Soldier (one-legged toy) is going to fight Doflamingo in order to liberate us! He intends to use his life in exchange for The Doflamingo family is destroyed!"

As Rebecca spoke, she actually cried: "I don't want to be protected by him anymore! This time, let me protect Mr. Soldier! Mr. Soldier he..."

Luffy still didn't know who she was referring to: "Soldier?"

Rebecca went on to explain: "He's a toy with one leg..."

"Toy?"

Chen Qi added: "You forgot? We met at the exit of the arena. He was with Franky."

Luffy: "Oh, I see."

The mummy continued: "We can't leave the arena, and even if something happens outside, we can't help at all."

Chen Qi looked at Rebecca: "So you are worried that the toys will die, but I think it is a miracle that they are alive."

Rebecca wiped her tears: "It's not easy for you from the outside to understand... They have the same momentum as humans. Become friends with people who can't make friends, and become brothers with people who don't have brothers, Being a lover with someone who doesn't have a partner...feeling good enough to think why humans can't be with toys..."

"...I am the only one in my family. Mr. Soldier has always raised me. For me, he is like a parent!"

"That's it." Chen Qi couldn't help but sighed after listening to Rebecca's inner thoughts.

"Hey? What are you doing, Lucy?!"

Seeing Luffy picking up the lunch box that fell on the ground, Rebecca asked in surprise.

Luffy picked up the lunch box on the ground and stuffed it into his mouth: "I accidentally dropped it on the ground just now, I'm sorry, I bought it with your money."

Chen Qi thought to himself: It seems that Sanji's influence is really not small, absolutely not to waste food has almost become an iron rule on the ship.

But Rebecca didn't quite understand: "Eating even if you fall on the ground, you're really weird."

Luffy looked at him and said, "I don't think you look like a criminal at all."

While they were chatting, the host in the arena announced: "The next is still the D area where the strong are gathered, the game starts again, the players in the D area, please come to the ring!"

Chen Qi and Rebecca are both players in Zone D.

The two of them went on stage together, and Rebecca was wearing her equipment, but she seemed very worried.

She thought of her mother, of the one-leg toy.

That day, the palace of Dressrosa caught fire.

The one-legged toy rescued the young her from the fire.

Since then, the two have lived together.

The one-legged toy asked her that day: "Do you know that there is a new king in this country? He is going to take you away, but don't worry, I will protect you with my life! Until you are happy! I will always protect you. around you!"

[He did say and did it, he has been guarding by my side, over and over again, constantly protecting me! 】

Chen Qi looked at her and knew what she was thinking.

Host: "Okay! It's time to play! Are you ready? Audiences! The famous beautiful girl sword fighter in this arena will also participate in this competition. Where is she?"

Rebecca's footsteps were heavy, and she walked towards the arena step by step.

Chen Qi also went up together.

"Go to hell! Rebecca!"

"Be hacked to death today!"

"Why don't you die!"

"King Rick's family!"

"An inhuman clan!"

As soon as she came on stage, she was greeted with scorn from many players.

Luffy in the viewing seat couldn't help but feel puzzled: "Hey? Why is she hated by so many people? She's such a good person, what a joke! She even invited us to eat lunch! We all know that."

The mummy next to him explained: "But, Rebecca's grandfather is King Rick who was hated by everyone before!"

"what?"

"Rebecca, hurry up and return to the west!"

"Don't forget, there is dirty blood in your blood!"

"Today is your day of death!"

"You are a disgrace to Dressrosa!"

Many players are still scolding her.

Chen Qi clenched his fists, and he had already made a certain determination in his heart...
