What Soldier-san Desires

In the Corrida Colosseum, Rebecca clashes swords with Suleiman. Rebecca shouts "HAA!" as their blades meet with heavy impact lines. Suleiman swings his massive sword, yelling "REBECCA, GOING ALL-OUT!!" The narration reads: CHAPTER 733 - "WHAT SOLDIER-SAN DESIRES". Below, the crowd roars as Suleiman stands on a floating platform in the flooded arena. Speech bubbles declare: "HE'S THE TERRIFYING MAN-SLAYER WHO ROAMS ABOUT THROUGH THE UNDERWORLD!!", "THE HERO OF THE DIAS NAVAL BATTLE IS NOW WANTED BY COUNTRIES AS A WAR CRIMINAL!", "GO TO HELL, REBECCA!!", "SULEIMAN'S ON THE MOVE!!", and "CHOP HER HEAD OFF, SULEIMAN!!!" Suleiman charges with a fierce cry "GO!!!" while massive onomatopoeia "んああああああああ" echoes across the arena.

Suleiman towers over Rebecca, gripping his enormous curved blade. A close-up shows his stern face as he thinks, "ALMOST AS IF HE WERE A GHOST!!" and "BUT HE'S NOT SHOWING MUCH VITALITY WITH THAT STANCE." Rebecca sweats heavily, declaring "I LOVE MY HOME COUNTRY" and gasping "HAA!" Suleiman continues: "ALL THE KILLING I DID, I DID FOR MY COUNTRY." Rebecca strains, thinking "EVEN DRAWING A SINGLE BREATH IN A LAND THAT DESPISES YOU MUST BE PAINFUL..." and asks "BUT WHAT OF YOUI" Suleiman is labeled "A-CLASS WAR CRIMINAL FROM THE DIAS NAVAL BATTLE: HEAD-CHOPPER SULEIMAN." Rebecca screams desperately, "I JUST WANT TO LIVE WITH SOLDIER-SAN!!" Suleiman replies, "I DON'T CARE WHO HATES ME!!" and "I DON'T CARE HOW HARD IT IS!!"

The arena announcer shouts, "THERE ARE ALREADY ONLY 30 FIGHTERS REMAINING IN D-BLOCK!!" Orlumbus, a massive bearded man in a black coat, looms over the battlefield. A lion-like fighter labeled "THE BOXING LION, AGYOU" roars with blood on his face. Orlumbus is identified as "ADVENTURER (COMMODORE OF THE YONTA MARIA GRAND FLEET): ORLUMBUS." He swings his fist powerfully while the crowd cheers "UOOO-HHHH!!" Bubbles note fighters being defeated and Rebecca staying alive. Onlookers react with shock as the battle rages on.

The crowd erupts in shock as the Commodore is slammed to the ground. "THE COM-MODORE!!" "SO... STRONG!!" "...HAS JUST BEEN BROUGHT DOWN BY ORLUMBUS' WHIP!!" A massive impact shakes the arena. In the next spread, Cavendish smirks confidently while Shaman (Mummy) roars with fury. "...OR A DARK HORSE, GOING AGAINST ALL EXPECTATIONSI" "THE POWER-HOUSES SUPPORTED BY THE ODDS...I" "PIRATE: CAVENDISH" "SHAMAN: (MUMMY)" Pyromaniac (Damask) reaches forward dramatically. "THERE'S STILL ONE SPOT REMAINING FOR THE FINAL ROUND!" "PYROMANIAC: DAMASK" At the bottom, Rebecca stands with Soldier-san, who is visibly distressed. "THAT'S... ALL I ASK!!!" "WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOWI PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!" "SOLDIER-SAN!" A voice rings out: "AND WHO WILL CLAIM THE HEAD OF KING RIKU'S GRANDCHILD!I"

In the Dressrosa underground port, chaos erupts as the Soldier guy vanishes. "THE SOLDIER GUY IS ALREADY GONE!!! ISN'T HE THE CAPTAIN!I" "EHHH!!!I" The scene shifts to a woman with a weapon and a small crowd. "SO THE CAPTAIN TOOK SEVERAL TONTATTA TRIBE MEMBERS WITH HIM AND HEADED FOR THE ROYAL PALACE!!" "GOOD LUCK, CAPTAIN!!" "...THAT WILL BE THE CHANCE TO TAKE REVENGE ON AN OFF-GUARD DOFLAMINGO!!" "AS SOON AS THE CAPTAIN'S S.O.P. PLAN IS SUCCESSFUL..." A frantic figure shouts, "ISN'T THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT PART!I" Usopp is surrounded by cheering Tontatta. "WILL BE LED BY YOU, USOLAND!!!" "THANK GOODNESS THE GREAT HERO USOLAND IS HERE WITH US!!" "THE S.O.P. PLAN TO KNOCK OUT SUGAR..."

A diagram shows the underground layout: lift, factory, officers' tower, and underground passage. "ALL OF THE BRIDGES ARE DRAW-BRIDGES." "TREBOL" "SUGAR" "WE'RE HERE RIGHT NOW!!" A girl with goggles points excitedly. "THAT'S WHERE OUR TARGET, SUGAR, IS!!!" The group identifies the officers' tower. "THAT'S THE OFFICERS' TOWER!!" "THAT BUILDING WAY OVER THERE... THE ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE AN ANEMONE." In the lower panels, a cloaked figure warns, "NO SLACKING OFF, NOW..." A tall man with a long face reacts in surprise. "HEY, WHO'S THERE!I" A bearded man mutters, "HMMI"

A woman in a hat fires a slingshot. "GOT IT!" "RANPO!" A panicked man yells, "GYAH!! THEY'VE FOUND US!! IT'S ALL OVER!!!" Below, a cloaked figure is confronted. "IF YOU'RE NOT MAKING NEGOTIATIONS, THEN YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED OFF YOUR SHIP." "ERR... I WAS JUST PASSING BY, AND..." "WHICH SHIP ARE YOU WITH!I" "HEY, YOU PEOPLE." "HMMI" Suddenly, two men are stripped naked in a whirlwind attack. "EHH!!!I IT MUST BE THE FAIRIES!!" "WE'VE BEEN TOTALLY STRIPPED!!!" "UWAHH!!!" A small figure in a spotted hat watches with a grin.

Tontatta warriors charge into combat shouting "COMBAT!!" as a massive long-haired fighter snarls "TONTATTA...". In a huge central clash the giant swings his "TAIL HAMMER!!" with explosive force, driving the Tontatta and a curly-haired fighter deep into the ground amid massive impact lines and debris. The battered Tontatta cry out "...OOH!! THEY'VE BEEN DRIVEN INTO THE GROUND!!" while smaller panels show a top-hatted figure tapping "TAP!" and a goggled child landing "TMP!" as enemies react in shock.

The Tontatta leader in goggles declares "YEAH, JUST ABOUT. ARE... ARE ALL OF YOU THAT STRONGII" while another warns "BUT WE'RE NOTHING COMPARED TO THOSE OF NOLAND'S TRIBE, WHO ARE EVEN CAPABLE OF TAKING DOWN SEA KINGS!!!" Usopp (as Usoland) grins "THAT WAS SO CLEVER OF YOU!! PRETENDING TO BE SCARED IN ORDER TO BAIT THE ENEMY!!" A masked fighter adds "BUT, REALLY... YOU SHOULD CHANGE CLOTHES, USOLAND AND ROBILAND." Rallying the troops, Usoland shouts "OUR OPPONENT IS A LITTLE GIRL!! LET'S GANG UP ON HER AND SCARE HER!! JUST FOLLOW ME!!" as the group charges "TO THE OFFICERS' TOWER!!!" with cries of "ROGER!!" and "LISTEN UP, GUYS! USOLAND IS TAKING CHARGE NOW!!!"

A diagram labels the "ROYAL PALACE", "TOY HOUSE", and "COMMERCE PORT" with a lift junction. At the Toy House entrance a voice yells "THERE ARE INVADERS AT THE TOY HOUSE!!" and "HURRY UP! LOAD IT ON!!" as fighters rush crates amid "KA-CHANG!!" sounds. Inside, allies report "THE INVADERS' TARGET IS THE FACTORY AT THIS LEVEL!!" and "SENOR PINK IS CURRENTLY FIGHTING OUTSIDE THE EAST DOOR!!!" One exclaims "REALLY!I! HOW MUCH DO WE GET!I" while another answers "I HEARD THAT IF WE STOP THEM, WE GET A BONUS!!" A final panel notes "SO IT SEEMS THE STRAWHAT CREW HAS MADE ITS MOVE!!"

Allies spot the lift and shout "LET'S HEAD ON UP!!" and "THAT INFO IS..." as the group boards. A cloaked figure declares "I'M HIJACKING THIS LIFT!! YOU GUYS STAY IN THIS BOX...!!" while warning that the hijackers are moving between the Toy House and underground. The lift ascends with "VNNNN" and "ZUN" sounds. Suddenly the Thunder Soldier bursts in, prompting shocked cries of "IT'S HIM...!!!" and "THE 'THUNDER SOLDIER' OF THE COLOSSEUM!!! HOW'D HE GET IN HERE!I" as he announces "PREPARE YOURSELVES! I'M TAKING OVER THIS LIFT!!!"

The toy soldier in the tall hat marked SOL lunges forward in a blur of motion. An opponent shouts in shock, "HE DODGED!!I" The soldier twists past a massive strike, landing a powerful counter that sends the enemy reeling with a pained "GUAAHH!!!" A voice yells "TOO SLOW!" as the soldier presses the assault. The foe recovers just enough to snarl "YOU...!!!" while the soldier spins with a "FWOOOSH!!" and delivers another crushing blow amid flying debris and impact lines.

Rebecca watches tensely from the side as Soldier-san continues the fight. Narration and voices urge her onward: "WITHOUT ANY SENSE OF DANGER, THERE CAN BE NO GROWTH. SO THEN STOP RIGHT BEFORE YOU DO!!" "IT'S NOT LIKE I WANT TO HIT YOU." "NO, IT'S NOT!!" "EHHH YOU HIT ME, SOLDIER-SAN!! THAT'S DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!!" Soldier-san commands, "NOW FOCUS, REBECCA!" Rebecca cries out in determination. The soldier takes heavy hits but refuses to yield, declaring the power of human instinct and will. The enemy taunts that Soldier-san is only a toy, yet the soldier fights on with fierce resolve amid the rain and battlefield debris.

Rebecca weeps, pleading that Soldier-san will always protect her. The toy soldier stands firm in the rain, gripping his weapon. He reflects, "I DON'T CARE ABOUT FIGHTING ANYMORE!!" and admits his body was never made to fight, that a toy may break before a child becomes an adult. Yet he pushes past his limits, vowing "AND BECOME STRONGER!!!" as he clashes violently with the enemy, who is shocked by the toy's unexpected power. Creaking sounds echo from the soldier's joints under the strain.

Soldier-san is hurled through the air but refuses to fall. He apologizes to Rebecca, calling himself her bungling father. The enemy demands to know what the toy is after. Soldier-san roars back, "RETURN DRESSROSA TO THE KING RIKU'S FAMILY!!! AND I'LL GIVE MY LIFE FOR THAT CAUSE!!" Enemies react in shock, one yelling "KING RIKU!I" Soldier-san finishes with fierce determination: "SO THAT MY CHILD MAY LIVE A LIFE OF HAPPINESS... I DESIRE A PEACEFUL COUNTRY!!!"

The Corrida Colosseum arena is devastated, bodies of elite fighters strewn across the shattered stone floor amid swirling dust and debris. A large figure in a dark coat and hat lies sprawled in the foreground as narration declares, "...HAVE FALLEN, ONE AFTER THE OTHER! AND IN THE END, NONE REMAIN STANDING!!! IS SOMETHING LIKE THIS EVEN ALLOWED TO HAPPEN!!!I" Overhead text booms, "EVERYONE HAS BEEN KNOCKED OUT!!!" and "ALL OF THE BIG NAMES REMAINING IN D-BLOCK!!!" Shocked spectators react wildly: "!!!I" "WHAT HAPPENED...!I!I" "EHI!" "THAT SURE WAS FAST....!!" "WHAT DAH!!I I COULDN'T SEE NUTTIN'....!!" and "I'D HEARD THE RUMORS, BUT..." A close-up shows a wide-eyed fighter gasping, "SOMEONE IS STANDING UP!!!" followed by "NO, WAIT..." and "IT WAS ALL OVER IN AN INSTANT!!!" Another panel reveals a bandaged combatant asking, "JUST WHO DID WHAT, HERE!!!I IN THIS ASSAULT ON D-BLOCK..." while an onlooker exclaims "WOW!!" The massive destruction leaves the crowd stunned at the lightning-fast outcome.
