## One Piece Chapter 721, pages 3-5: Rebecca and Soldier-san - Chapter: 721 - Pages: 3-5 - Characters: Rebecca, Monkey D. Luffy, Soldier, Corrida Colosseum Commentator, Gladiator Prisoners, Scarlet, Riku Royal Fighters, Dressrosa Citizens ### Summary Page 3: The announcement from outside interrupts Rebecca's confession: "Rebecca, your match is gonna start!" and "Thank you for waiting patiently. The new ring is now in place!!" Luffy notices Soldier and mutters, "Ehhh... that guy..." while Rebecca quietly answers, "...Yeah." She apologizes for the food, saying she knows Luffy spent everything he had on her and that the two colosseum lunchboxes fell on the floor during their little fight. Luffy still eats them from the ground with "Chomp chomp," insisting, "But even though they fell, they're still real tasty!!" Rebecca smiles at him and says, "You really don't look like a prisoner." Luffy answers simply, "I'll see you in the finals." Page 4: As D-Block fighters head for the ring, Rebecca remembers a gentler past. A small Rebecca cries "Mommy!!" while her mother Scarlet works in a flower field. Scarlet points out the flowers, saying, "Lookit all the flowers!" and little Rebecca answers, "Oh, Rebecca." At home, Scarlet laughs and thanks her daughter for helping her work: "Thank you for helping me work! Now let's go to town to sell them." The memory is warm and ordinary: a small house, a table, flowers, and a mother teaching her child a life outside courtly splendor. Against the looming colosseum match, the quiet domestic panels show what Rebecca lost before she ever became a gladiator. Page 5: The flashback darkens on the night Dressrosa changed. People shout, "What happened to the king!?" "Stop it!!" and "The Riku Royal Fighters have set fire to the town!!" Scarlet looks toward the burning palace and asks, "What's happening in this country...?" while another voice cries, "The palace... it's burning!!" She flees with young Rebecca as soldiers or rioters rush through the fields, and someone screams, "Run away, Scarlet-sama!!" The attack shatters the flower-field life in a single page. What Rebecca remembers is not political theory but smoke, panic, the palace burning, her mother's fear, and the first moment the Riku name became a curse in the mouths of the people.
