## One Piece Chapter 721, pages 15-16: Rebecca and Soldier-san - Chapter: 721 - Pages: 15-16 - Characters: Rebecca, Soldier, Dressrosa Citizens, Scarlet ### Summary Page 15: The town's cruelty grows louder. People look at Rebecca and say, "She's an orphan. Ain't got nobody to look after her." Others decide, "Let's catch her and sell her off." When the door bursts open, Rebecca screams "Ahh!!" Soldier charges in and shouts "Rebecca!" as he smashes the attackers away. They yell "Gyahhh!!" and someone cries, "Let's smash that toy!!!" Rebecca calls, "Soldier-san!!" while Soldier takes the blows meant for her. Afterward, away from the violence, Rebecca apologizes and says, "Forgive me... I'm now a wanted man..." Soldier answers with unexpected tenderness: "Fufufu! But we're together! Now let's find a new place to live!" The page shows why Rebecca sees him as family: he turns exile into survival. Page 16: Rebecca begins to imagine a future with Soldier. Sitting beside him, she says, "Someday, I really want to... live in a house together, Soldier-san." Soldier answers, "I will teach you how to fight!" She asks what will happen if something happens to her, and he says, "Nah, that's alright. I've got you, after all." But Scarlet's lesson remains inside Rebecca: "Mother always said it's wrong to hurt others..." Soldier refuses to teach her cruelty. Instead, he says, "So I will teach you how to avoid being hurt, yourself!! Now come at me!!" Rebecca trains, learns to dodge, and later remembers, "You were always by my side. Time and time again you protected me." The page turns her defensive fighting style into a direct inheritance from Soldier's love.
