## One Piece Chapter 720, pages 14-16: The Gladiator Prisoners - Chapter: 720 - Pages: 14-16 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Rebecca, Gladiator Prisoners ### Summary Page 14: The prisoners attack Luffy from every side while Rebecca moves with sharp, evasive footwork. A fighter shouts "Gyahhh!" and another "Gah!" as the scuffle crashes through the prison dorms. Luffy is struck, dodges, and protects the food even in the middle of the trap, chewing with "Munch munch" while others are thrown back. Rebecca watches and then flips away, her movement marked by "Flip!" and a shout of "Hiiyahh!!" The page is mostly motion: blades, bars, bodies, and sudden impacts. It shows that Rebecca is capable enough to control spacing, but it also shows Luffy treating the ambush less like mortal danger and more like an interruption to a meal. Page 15: Rebecca completes the setup by knocking Luffy down and holding her blade at him, the impact marked with a heavy "Ah!" Luffy lies on the floor with food still near him, murmuring "...kuhh...!!" while Rebecca stands over him and breathes hard, "Haa, haa..." The old fighters look on, one silent with only "......" as the scene becomes less comic and more exposed. Rebecca has succeeded in taking down the man who beat Chinjao, but the victory feels uneasy. The way she pauses over him, and the way Luffy looks more startled than truly hurt, makes clear that the ambush is not a simple murder attempt. The page ends on the tension between her apparent attack and her real reason for bringing him here. Page 16: The prisoners shout about the impossible result: "He took down... Rebecca!" and "How could he be faster than her!?" Luffy sits up bruised but calm, while Rebecca says, "...!! Do as you must with me... I'll accept my punishment...!" Luffy cannot understand the logic and asks, "Why would I punish... someone who bought me food...?" Rebecca finally confesses, "Because I tried to kill you!!" Luffy answers plainly, "It's fine. I'm not dead. And besides, you weren't really trying to..." Around them, the other prisoners identify the real problem: Rebecca can forgive too easily, but all this has shown is the true gap between her strength and Luffy's. One says that if she could have taken out even one top contender in advance, her odds would be much better.
