After the daring rescue of Izuku, Doflamingo trapped everyone in the Birdcage and challenging everyone to a game. One by one, the Donquixote family began falling with only the Top Executives were left. During this, Baby 5 proved herself to Doflamingo in a radical
few months ago, Rebecca POV:
Ever since I was a child, I was taught how to never harm someone. My mother was a stern person that said that no matter what, violence was never the answer. She stood by that even by her end. Even when my father taught me how to fight to defend myself, I stood by my mother's beliefs about never harming anyone. I felt horrid having to fight in the coliseum when I was younger, but I was able to find a way to fight without actually having to harm someone. As such, I was able to stand by my own morals. "You'll one day have to fight. Holding back against people is only going to hurt you along with people you'll want to protect."
"That doesn't matter though. Harming people isn't something I enjoy."
"Neither do I."
"Then why do you do it then?" I ask for Izuku to look at the reality of the situation as a whole.
"Morals you keep are great. But what you want to fight for is more important. I want to live in peace. I hate the fact that I can't live in peace, but I'll fight to keep the life I have." I glanced at my hands and questioned what he meant. "The life you have. If you feel it threatened and you'd have to sacrifice your morals just to keep it changed to the point it isn't the same anymore."
I thought about this as he sat and pulled his legs into himself. "So if I have no choice, do you think my mother would be mad at me for not sticking to my ideals?"
"Your mother might be more upset if you would take your morals over your own friends and loved ones." Fatherhad come over to us and sat beside both of us. "Your mother yes dedicated herself to not stand for fighting such as your grandfather. However, she refused to let one of her close ones get hurt. What Flare says is the truth. We are dedicated to stay to morals, but know that when the situation calls for it, we must fight hard and be people we can take pride in going to be."
Izuku had cleared his throat to answer. "Just know that when the situation happens, a choice will have to be made. Will you choose to stand for who you believe in or what you believe in."
Back to present, 3rd person POV:
Diamante looked at Rebecca with a laugh at her. "Well that's hilarious! To think you believe you're able to beat me is hilarious." Rebecca refused to hold fear as the man glared at her. "I'll enjoy killing you and making you a corpse just like your mommy." His blade moved similar to a flag and fly right at the pink haired woman. "Ripple! Ripple!" She dodged this to have a slice to her neck come before charging at her opponent.
"DIAMANTE!" She held her blade up with the Top Executive with him altering the cape on his back to be no different than a steel wall.
"ENJOY MY CAPE'S TRUE FORM!" Rebecca has jumped up and went right for an attack. However, Rebecca hesitated knowing the fact she was about to rebel against her base principles is about to happen. Diamante saw this to pull a gun at her to make her jump away. This didn't help that well as she was scraped on the shoulder by the bullet. "What's wrong? Can't fight back? Well that sucks for you, because I'm not afraid." He kept shooting at Rebecca for her to readjust herself and move fast towards him. Diamante saw this to smirk before having his blade move and nearly hit the pink haired woman and force her back.
"He's fast and able to deflect me." she spoke to herself while preparing for another round.
"You wanna be a tough girl just like your mommy and daddy? Well your daddy's an old man now and your mommy died to a bullet through her chest." The Top Executive kept speaking and mocking Rebecca's mother with it not doing anything. "If you're going to pretend to be Kyros, then I'm sure you can take this." Several poppers shot up what seemed to be black confetti into the air with Diamante pulling out what seemed to be a led umbrella. "Stardust Release!"
The confetti turned into led stars as they came barrelling down at Rebecca. She immediately tried to react by knocking the pieces back with her missing quite a few and having a few cut up or go into her arms and legs. "AHH!" 'It's no different than last time. I couldn't do anything then either. I can't even defend myself. Why am I so useless!?' Rebecca felt extreme pain as Diamante laughed at her.
"Aww. Are you trying so hard just like to be your daddy? How pathetic!" Diamante kept laughing as he walked towards Rebecca. "You're no better than you were last time! I actually feel pity for you. You're trying your hardest for someone that's going to die." He towered over the girl before kicking her in the stomach and letting the lead stars hit her in the torso with another hitting her eye to force Rebecca to turn and avoid another hitting her as she pulled out the lead star and could barely see from where it hit her. "Pathetic. Thinking on it, you and Portgas were made for one another. Both of you are pathetic, useless and not long for this world. It's almost so pathetic it pains me to laugh!" He kept laughing with Rebecca punching the ground and standing up to turn to Diamante. "What? Trying to fight back? HAHAHA!"
"Ne....ive....up....ca....."
"What's wrong? Trying to say you're going to give up?" Diamante kept laughing.
"Never...give....up...Rebec....ca....Izuku....you still thought so much of me to say that." The led stars kept dropping for Rebecca to have blood come down her face and look at Diamante with a look that could kill. "I don't care if you disrespect me. But Flare no. Izuku is better than that." She held her face up and shouted while charging at Diamante. "A LOUSE LIKE YOU WOULD NEVER UNDERSTAND THE TROUBLES HE HAS TO PUT UP WITH AND HAS NO RIGHT TO JUDGE HIM!"
She kept slashing at Diamante with him being pushed back and panicking. 'What the? she's stabbed with a bunch of stars. What is with her? She's just as suicidal as her crazy bastard of her father. Is this some kind of hereditary thing?' Diamante tried to defend himself with Rebecca refusing to stop as the led stars kept dropping on her as a sickening smile came on Rebecca's face. 'She's...a devil. She's no different than that psychopath of a friend of hers.' "GET BACK!?"
Rebecca slashed repeatedly at Diamante with a smile and a laugh coming at her. "What's the matter, louse!? You were so adamant about being a better person, what happened!? Did you realize that you're not as tough as you believed!?" Rebecca laughed as she slashed at Diamante and shattering his sword.
"Ah! Get back! I SAID GET BACK!" 'I need to touch the ground and force her back.' He tried to touch the ground with an image of this coming to Rebecca's head to coat her sword with Armament Haki and hit the arm to break it with the side of her blade. "AHHHHHH!!!!! MY ARM!"
"YOU THINK THAT'S PAINFUL!? THIS IS JUST A TOUCH OF WHAT I HAVE TO GO THROUGH, LET ALONE IZUKU!" 'Izuku. Father. Mother. Grandfather. Viola. Thsi is my way of stepping forward. Forgive me for having to rid myself of my principles of conflict.' She adjusted her footing to look as if she was about to go insane with bloodlust. "TRUENO BASTARDO!" Rebecca slashed down with a similar force to her fathers when he fought Diamante in the past. The act made the Top Executive shriek in pain. "I had dedicated myself for the last two years to make certain if I were to ever face a man like you again, my father would not have to risk his own life for my own sake and I can help him. I AM A PROUD FIGHTER OF DRESSROSA HERE AS A LOVED ONE TO PORTGAS D. IZUKU! DO NOT THINK I AM ANYTHING LESS THAN AND DO NOT THINK HE IS LESS THAN A MAN WORTH MY RESPECT AND BEST!"
'Gah! She...she cut me where her bastard dad did. It hurts! The brat's....just like her old man.' Diamante fell to the ground unconscious with a notable amount of blood being lost by him with Rebecca looking at the top of the tower.
"Izuku. Please win this." She started walking to the side where there was a large piece of pavement to sit against it, wincing in pain as she did. 'I pushed myself a little with that. I think...I should....calm myself....' She started to fall asleep with her body shown to be cut up and bloodied from the fight. She won, but it took a notable amount of her own energy to do so.
"Rebecca." Rebecca heard a voice to slowly open her eyes to see nothing. "Rebecca."
Rebecca pulled her eyes open again to look and notice the image of a woman she's seen constantly in her dreams of the past. "Mo...ther..."
"Rebecca. I am so proud of you for standing up for your friends. You have made your mother proud to know you."
Seeing her, Rebecca's mind went to what she did. "Mother....I'm sorry....I....hurt someone.....You said to....never....hurt people."
"I know. And I know you've fought hard to stand by that belief and even your father has pushed to keep that lesson I had in you alive. But I forgive you knowing why you did it. I don't like violence, but finding out about what had happened made me realize there are people who would kill for no reason or harm. I have come to the acceptance that someone will do wrong, but I never feared this because your father was beside me. And just like him, you have someone you want to stand beside. You did not raise your blade for me, but for you to help someone else who needs it far more. And for that, mother can forgive and forget this. So please don't focus solely on this act and keep fighting how you can. But remember to only use violence on others as a last resort."
Rebecca's mother disappeared after this for the pink haired woman to start crying. "Mother....I'll...I'll be the type of person you've always wished me to be. I'll be strong just so you don't have to worry about me." Rebecca kept crying as she faded out of consciousness.
With Smoker
Constantly trying to take on the Top Executive, Smoker found himself pushed into a corner with having to try and take out Pica. "It's a shame that you'll die here, Vice Admiral. But you chose to follow the wrong person here."
"Says the fool who's nothing but a lap dog who can't think for himself." Hearing this insult, Pica was not fond of this claim as he had the stone around Smoker turn into an iron maiden and try to trap him. This failed as the Vice Admiral turned his body into smoke and dispersed his body around to reform on top of the mass of stone. "Ever since we've obtained information you're out of Impel down, I've dedicated myself into finding out everything I could about your abilities, unique moves, weaknesses. And out of all that, I knew you'd be the biggest problem out of all of your members outside of Doflamingo. That's more why I wanted to face you in particular. Nobody else would be able to take you down besides me."
"Big talk. You think you can beat me? How utterly ridiculous."
"Hmph. Big talk from a man that sounds like someone's kicking his balls every five seconds."
Hearing this, Pica became fueled with rage as he began growing the amount of stone he held to tower over even the top of the mountain. "I'LL MAKE YOU REGRET EVER THINKING YOU CAN FIGHT AGAINST ME, VICE ADMIRAL! PREPARE TO DIE!"
Pica's body was destroyed immediately with it confusing him. When he looked at who was responsible, Smoker's hands showed small blades coated in Haki. "This isn't my choice of fighting, but there's little I can do to beat the likes of you." he was able to send the blades through pica's stone body to keep him in the air before slicing off the stone bit by bit feeling where his body was hiding through Observation Haki. When the stone was put to one chunk, Pica came out and glared at Smoker.
"Let's see if you can take me with my Haki then!" Pica coated himself entirely with Armament for Smoker to coat his hand and blades with Haki as well.
"You want to go this route, then go ahead. White Blow!" Smoker attacked with both blades going at the man with an X being made in his chest as the Vice Admiral stood behind. Pica fell to his knees and fell forward before both landed on the ground to create a dust cloud. Smoker walked out lighting two cigars while noticing how everyone was handling their own fights to smirk. "Seems all's handled here. All that's left is for you to handle the boss, kid." He blew out some smoke to look at the top of the mountain. "Don't blow this."
And that finishes this chapter. See what happens next time with Izuku reaching the top of the cliff and Baby 5 fighting against Doflamingo. Hope you all enjoyed and thanks for reading.
