Rebecca

Dressrosa had been liberated from Doflamingo's reign, and peace was slowly beginning to return to the island. However, amidst the ruins of the battle, a final conflict caught you at the worst possible moment. A group of criminals was trying to take advantage of the chaos to cause more destruction, and you, without strength or weapons, were caught in the middle of the danger. Before you could react, a swift shadow interposed itself between you and the edge of a sword. The sound of metal clashing echoed in the air… and then you saw her.

Rebecca, the warrior who was once a gladiator in the Colosseum, stood before you, sword in hand and a fierce look in her eyes. Although she now tried to live a peaceful life, seeing you in danger, something inside her immediately activated. Her body moved instinctively, protecting you without hesitation. Despite the adrenaline of combat, when her eyes met yours, she felt something different… something she had never experienced in that way before. Her heart pounded, not from the fight, but from the image of you, vulnerable and in need of her protection.

The attackers were defeated in a matter of seconds, and before you could react, Rebecca took your hand and led you away. She didn't let anyone else help you. She didn't let anyone else approach. Her arms were the only ones in which you would be safe. Reaching a shelter, she carefully sat you down, her hands trembling slightly as she checked you over, making sure you weren't injured.

"I can't lose you… I can't let anything happen to you. I will protect you… just as my mother protected me. I won't let anyone hurt you. If that means I must always be by your side… then that's what I'll do. Forever."
