New World.

...
"Let's start another round of the next fight!!" the announcer shouted, hoping for another day of the tournament despite Dressrosa being quite agitated lately. Still, the coliseum was open to everyone in the kingdom while they seemed to enjoy it.
Two men in armor, one 7 meters tall and the other 4 meters, began a fight while citizens and toys continued to scream, seeming to forget that their king had been killed over a week ago.
Meanwhile, no one noticed something coming towards the coliseum from the royal castle at high speed, creating a huge impact in the middle of the place the next moment. The coliseum shook at this moment with the impact.
"What is happening here?! An attack on the coliseum?!" the announcer shouted as the bikini-clad women beside him put their hands on their faces, worried. The crowd in the stands showed expressions of fear, while the two gladiators stopped their fight to see what was happening.
Meanwhile, inside the coliseum, debris flew in all directions, with several gladiators who had not yet entered the arena looking horrified at the destruction of the place next to them. The coliseum was fortified so no one could leave, but here it was being destroyed, as a shadow began to emerge from the wreckage, moving into the place.
"Who is this?!" a gladiator asked, raising his sword with some fear.
"An enemy of Doflamingo taking advantage of his death?" another expressed his thoughts.
"We should call the Donquixote family!" a guard exclaimed as the shadow finally came out of the wreckage while Luffy wore his usual casual clothes, his hat showing his symbol.
"Wait...! This is..." All the gladiators immediately recognized who this person was.
"He is Monkey D. Luffy!! A Yonkou!!!"
"The one who is captain of the woman who killed Doflamingo!!"
"He killed a Gorosei, one of the people who rule the world!! Fought against Garp, Sengoku, 3 admirals, and even hit Kaido!!!" Everyone immediately became shocked by who was in front of them, feeling very afraid and immediately backing away.
"He has a bounty of 3.5 billion berries!!!" another exclaimed, trembling.
Luffy continued walking, listening to the comments while cracking a small smile. But the next moment, he released his haki, making everyone in that place fall to the ground.
Luffy saw everyone collapsing, except for one person he excluded from his haki as soon as he felt her. Rebecca was in a corner wearing classic clothes that showed most of her body like a kind of bikini, something used to ridicule her while turning the princess of the kingdom into being exposed like a prostitute.
She was surprised by the explosion and heard everyone exclaiming Luffy's name as soon as she appeared, she wasn't sure how to act, though she was grateful for Straw Hat beating and humiliating Doflamingo while that Lami killed him in the war, she didn't know why this powerful pirate was here and her first thought was to run from there, but as she was about to take the first step, a powerful wind swept through the place and the next moment she saw the crowd falling to the ground with white eyes and open mouths, fainted instantly, she saw this in the war shown on the screen and she took a step back with so much fear and it reached its peak when Monkey D. Luffy stared at her from that distance with a smile.
"Why is he looking at me?!" Rebecca murmured as she raised her sword against Luffy, waiting for him to make a move.
"Rebecca." Luffy said calmly as he began to walk towards her.
"How do you know who I am...? What do you want?!" Rebecca kept her sword as she began to tremble, she knew she couldn't handle this man.
"I know who you are because I came looking for you and I want to take you from here." Luffy replied calmly.
"!" This caught Rebecca by surprise as she narrowed her eyes trying to look at him with courage. "What do you mean by that?!"
"Simple. I'm here to take you, I want to make you stronger, do you want to be free, want to free Dressrosa?" Luffy asked calmly.
"Make stronger... Freedom..." She murmured a bit confused by these words.
"I have a proposal for you, I want you in my crew. I wish to make you so strong that in one year, you will return and almost destroy the entire Donquixote family and free Dressrosa, and I will go to war against Kaido, but I want you to follow me until the end of my journey." Luffy gave her his proposal.
"..." Rebecca had stunned eyes, almost dizzy from hearing this; she could never have imagined receiving such a proposal as Luffy walked up to a few meters from her.
"Are you serious?" she murmured.
"Yes, I just spoke with your aunt and I know she is watching us from the castle right now. I want to free you and restore the Riku family, with your grandfather returning as king and you receiving the title of Princess of Dressrosa along with your aunt, and not living in this humiliating way... you want a better life, so I want you by my side," Luffy spoke as Rebecca was left speechless, looking at Luffy.
Rebecca, despite having many sympathizers, was still ostracized, everyone laughed at her and made malicious comments, constantly living in humiliation; she had never been touched, as her aunt would never allow such a thing to happen, but even so, for a 14-year-old teenager, this was a cruel life. Everyone had fierce voices against the Riku family and took it out on her and her grandfather, who often came to the coliseum.
Now she was hearing something from a stranger she never imagined, saying he would take her away and make her strong, her family and her country would be saved by her, this caught her by surprise and as someone living this kind of life, she always clung to anything that gave her hope, even suffering in the coliseum, she wanted to become strong, strong enough to have killed Doflamingo and free her aunt and grandfather from the clutches of their enemies.
That's why at that moment, she started to tear up, looking at Luffy as tears began to fall. "Really? Do you think I can become strong enough to free this country? Do you want to take me with you?" she asked as tears started to fall.
"Yes, we'll spend 1 year away training and I want to recruit you to my crew, although you will become a pirate, you are not the first princess in my crew. Vivi, the princess of Alabasta, and Shirahoshi, the mermaid princess, are with me and have become powerful women, although today they are also my wives..." Luffy murmured at the end, and hearing this, Rebecca blushed, but looked at Luffy with hope; she didn't know why, but she felt she could trust this man.
"Be careful, Rebecca!!!" a voice emerged at this moment and a toy soldier in dark and red clothes with only one leg, using a type of toy weapon, jumped and stood in front of Rebecca and Luffy.
"Toy-san!" She was surprised by this.
The toy soldier seemed to look at Luffy unafraid and Luffy looked at him with interest. "Don't trust what this pirate is saying, you don't know him to believe in his words!" he said firmly.
"So you appeared," Luffy commented looking at Kyros calmly.
"Sorry, Toy-san, but I will accept Monkey D. Luffy's proposal," Rebecca spoke and Luffy was surprised with the system putting her as an official member.
'I've never had such a quick acceptance in the crew,' Luffy commented internally, quite pleased.
But the same could not be said of the toy, who looked at Rebecca stunned. "Don't do it, Rebecca!!" he exclaimed, but Rebecca shook her head.
"I will believe in him, he defeated Doflamingo once and I will do anything to become stronger!" she said determinedly.
As the toy soldier was about to try to convince Rebecca not to agree to this, because it was very suspicious for one of the world's greatest pirates to appear at this moment, and wanting to take Rebecca saying he will train her, as a father, he didn't trust Luffy at all with this attitude, even though he is an enemy of the Donquixote family.
"I'm not surprised by this, toy soldier," Luffy interrupted before continuing. "She is your daughter, so I understand your concern," Luffy admitted, catching both the toy soldier and Rebecca looking at Luffy confused.
"What do you mean by that? Mr. Luffy?" Rebecca asked bewildered.
"Do you know who I am?!" the soldier exclaimed, stunned; after all, even the Donquixote family doesn't know about him, with everyone forgetting his existence as soon as he turned into a toy.
"Yes. You are Kyros, married to Princess Scarlett, mother of Rebecca, and she is your daughter, that's why you always accompany her," Luffy spoke.
"Wait... father... I have a father?!" Rebecca couldn't be more stunned as she looked at Luffy and the supposed father who had been accompanying her for years while helping her train, but she had never imagined that he would be her father.
"Yes, the toy in front of you is your father, his name is Kyros, the one you treat as a legend when you see his statue in the arena; he is your father transformed by a devil fruit user, and that makes you forget his existence too. I am the only one who really knows who he is," Luffy said, and at that moment, Rebecca was completely taken aback. She had always heard about the statue of Kyros in the middle of the coliseum, symbolizing a legendary gladiator that existed, but no one remembered him, like a true legend.
"Is this really true...?" she murmured while even Kyros didn't know what to say.
"Let's leave this reunion for later, we have to get out of Dressrosa, I'll take you with me and if you want to come along, feel free," Luffy said, not wanting to separate the father from the daughter.
"..." They didn't even know how to respond to what they had just heard, and Luffy just sighed as he appeared next to Rebecca, grabbed her by the waist and the toy soldier by the arm, and began to leave before anyone could react, through the hole he had created.
As soon as they left, a sword appeared in front of them, as Diamante tried to cut him at that moment, but Luffy maneuvered carrying the two by his side and dodged the attack as Diamante appeared in front of him.
"Mugiwara!!!" Diamante exclaimed with hatred, ready to launch another attack.
"Hey, Rebecca, grab your father, I need a free hand," Luffy exclaimed and threw the toy to the girl who caught him, while he advanced towards the high-ranking man from the Donquixote family. Once again the sword tried to attack him but making curves in the air with Geppo and Soru, Luffy surprised Diamante, as he delivered a punch to his face, making the makeup-clad man fly backwards, hitting against a building in the city.
"One down, now the other," Luffy commented as the city transformed in front of him with a giant of houses and rocks emerging.
"Mugiwara!" Pica exclaimed, only 20 meters tall, while Luffy puffed his cheeks.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! Look at your voice, Pica, I didn't know it was so funny!!" Luffy exclaimed, unable to stop laughing at the giant, while the toy soldier continued to be held by Rebecca, watching everything here without being able to react properly due to Luffy's incredible speed.
"You bastard!" Pica tried to hit him with a punch.
"Hahahaha! Take that, Pica! Hahahaha!" Luffy continued laughing and went straight into his punch, hitting it, still laughing. The next moment, the two fists collided, but Luffy didn't give his opponent a chance as his haki was much more powerful, making Pica's fist explode, and Luffy took this opportunity to take off into the sky with Rebecca and the soldier, leaving Dressrosa in chaos with this little fight. Luffy treated them like children, but it wasn't the time for them to interfere with Dressrosa.
