#kyros & rebecca

[kyros-tha-soldier]

your favorite bum is back again (i hope I'm your favorite 🥺) with another little free time scribble.

It's already summer (duh) and it's getting as hot as a BBQ grill in here. I went to the beach on sunday and i enjoyed watching the sunset but then i felt very tired and had to wrestle my way out of the sand to go back to the bus stop and go home. So i had the idea to draw my pookie and his cutie pie gladiator 🌸

i had the piggyback ride idea from this pic

I start laughing whenever i see Rebecca's face, but I wouldn't lie it looks so sweet, they're both my cutie i wov them 💖💖💖

Anyways, here's the timelapse, it took longer because i fucked up often and had to revert or erase the stuff, also i almost posted the pic without Kyros' scar and i had to draw it on.

I Think Doflamingo Got The Idea Of Birdcage From The Native Hunting Competition

Seriously, it's probably why besides trying to cover his antics he didn't mind slaughtering a whole nation even though that would look suspicious why a prominent nation was suddenly slaughtered. It's because he probably seen or heard at least about the competition when he was young and got inspired into his adult life. His parents probably didn't approve and abstained. But I imagine he heard stories and thought about actually wanting to do one, so he probably is getting he gets to do something in spirit to that even though it was over the nation he ruled himself.

He probably based the bounty system even on the competition's.

Kyros, one of the best father ever in one piece : are you sure it doesn't bother you that I am your father? I am so sorry. 😭

Like he didn't spend all of his life taking Care of his daughter even in a toy form.

It's time for us as a fandom to admit that the Senor Pink backstory is not a "top ten saddest backstory" we've let the One Piece dudebros run with this narrative for too long

[deadite-central]

Okay so when I was almost done with it something bugged with tumblr and this post didn’t save, which is why it took me so long to get back to it. But since I left off the last Dressrosa post saying I can’t wait to talk about the things that are coming, let’s get to it

Usopp has been lying his way through most of the arc, generally not believing that he’s able to do anything significant to help. It’s a struggle he’s been having within himself from way back in pre timeskip obviously, but I love how he’s the one to finally stand up when Robin has been turned into a toy and the tontattas need help. He’s still terrified, and he still doesn’t quite believe he can do this, but he will try his best, and because of that, all the toys will finally be freed

Before they get their freedom, we get the Toy Soldier’s story on why he’s so adamant about defeating Doflamingo and protecting Rebecca. As it turns out, he’s Kyros, Rebecca’s father, and his story is incredibly tragic, where despite the toy’s face not moving an inch, you can feel the emotions he’s feeling, and the rain falling down his toy face is a wonderful although sad visual for crying when you physically can’t cry

And then finally, the moment everyone was waiting for, the aftermath of Usopp defeating Sugar (in a hilarious manner). From Doflamingo completely losing his cool when he realizes his entire plan has went to hell, to Kyros turning back into a human and decapitating his clone, to finally, one of my favorite moments in this entire arc: God Usopp. Things getting from ridiculous to more ridiculous here is just amazing, and I like how it keeps you on the edge of your seat, especially first time around, to also give you a few funny moments along the way

Proper introduction of the Revolutionary Army members here! Love their place in the story and I think considering the situation in Dressrosa now was better time than ever to have them really come into play for the story. Love their designs and the reasonings each of them you can figure out to have to be Revs, and of course I’m so happy to see more of Sabo. He’s an incredibly cool character to me and I’m so happy Luffy gets to have at least one older brother out there to look out for him

Back to the main plot, the birdcage is a genius idea. Oda often (if not always) introduces some type of timer for our crew that they can’t pass, and I think the birdcage has been the best idea he had so far. Using Doflamingo’s power to create something that not only locks everybody who knows of his true nature in Dressrosa, but also forces a deadline for everybody because otherwise, the birdcage will kill everyone. It’s also a good metaphor for Doflamingo’s character itself, as he doesn’t care about his subjects, he only wants power and destruction, even if that means killing an entire nation

With all the pieces in place , Luffy (and Law who gets carried around) can finally go after Doflamingo. We get one more moment of interaction between Luffy and Rebecca, with him finally revealing his actual name to her, and making it clear to her that things will work out. I love their friendship, as despite the fact it happened in about a day, they both clearly care so much about each other

One last thing I want to talk about before we get to the main battle of the arc, is Usopp awakening his observation haki. It’s funny that he doesn’t even realise it, but it shows how much he has grown and how much stronger despite his fears he’s gotten, which is such a nice touch in an arc filled with great Usopp moments, I love it

And finally, we get to the top floor starting what has been built up since the beginning of this saga. Everybody (except for Trebol fuck that guy) looks so cool here (and also Bellamy rip man) and it just hypes you up so much for the fight to come. The framing here is great and I love the expressions Oda draws for everyone involved. I’m incredibly excited for the upcoming fight

This scene, Even though it's filler, really gives a lot of depth to Kyros' character.

I mean, Yeah the way he says that he wants to leave Rebecca sounds very stupid especially since he went through hell and beyond to get her back and protect her and even promised her that he will do his best to make her happy and forever be by her side...

BUT

The reason why he did that was indirectly mentioned by him throughout the saga's finale, his fights with diamante and his flashback. He told Luffy and his friends how he had "a shameful past" and was "ill bred" blah blah... But the real reason is that he saw how bad Rebecca was being treated, and now that he noticed everybody has remembered him and know that she's his daughter (even though, unbeknownst to him, they already knew but kept silent about it and played along) they would bully her over her father's past life just like they bullied her for her grandpa's sins. However Kyros didn't know that the people have moved on, and that he was the only one still beating himself up over it. Was it harsh for both him and Rebecca? Yes, because he would feel even worse for leaving her and she would think she's a burden for him. But did he know any better? He probably did, but he felt like he would be a burden for her, instead of her being a burden to him. And this is exactly why Kyros clings to the past, both the good and the bad aspects of it: he still lives in his own past as a cold heartless murderer who doesn't deserve any happiness or sympathy, and he also still lives in his past where he was by Rebecca's side, happy yet still affected by his past.

And this is why I like this scene, it shows two sides of Kyros: the side in which he knows that he did something terribly wrong and knows he can't fix it, and the side where he just can't let go of the small reminders of happiness he clung onto for a short time of his life, thus why he still keeps the little drawing that Rebecca drew of him back she was little (yes we are shown that this drawing belongs to Rebecca and she in fact is the one who drew it) because he still wants to keep her in his memory, while he wants her to forget about him for good and move on.

GOOOOOOOD WHY DID I EVEN WRITE THIS! I made myself cry again!

Not only on dressrosa, but every arc has some very small but sweet hints and symbols here and there, you only have to pay attention to spot them!
