* OpenSecret: The end of the Dressrosa arc piles up a few such secrets. For instance, even though the citizens angrily pursue Luffy to demand he return Rebecca, who he's seemingly kidnapped, it's just for show: they know that she wants to live with [[spoile:Kyros and that Luffy broke her out of the palace so she could tell him herself, but at the same time they don't want Fujitora and the Marines to pursue Luffy (since he saved them from Doflamingo), so they buy him time to escape by getting in the way. They also know that Kyros is Rebecca's real father, that Scarlett did not actually die 16 years ago but rather {{elope|ment}}d with Kyros and moved to a cottage in the Flower Hill, and that the "fairies" are actually the dwarves from the Tontatta Tribe, whose existence they've been keeping secret for their own protection. Once Luffy and the Marines leave, since everyone knows all of this, Kyros, Rebecca and the dwarves are more or less free to enter the palace and walk the streets whenever they want]].

* CrapsaccharineWorld: At first glance, Dressrosa is an idyllic country where people live in harmony with sentient toys, watch colosseum fights, and occasionally come into contact with a tribe of whimsical fairies. In reality, it's a dystopian nightmare built on slavery in which people have the very memories of their loved ones taken from them.

->''"I did my best to be a good man, if I could only survive by ending a life, I would rather chose death of my own free will."''
A mysterious gladiator who joined the Dressrosa tournament at Corrida Colosseum. Later he turns out to be the former King of Dressrosa in disguise.
----
* AccentAdaptation: He is given a Latin American Spanish accent in the Funimation dub.
* AintTooProudToBeg: Riku got on his hands and knees and begs for his people, on a Visual Transponder Snail, to give them their fortune to pay Doflamingo's fee.
* BerserkerTears: As he's manipulated by Doflamingo into killing his own people, he's visibly crying.
* CoolOldGuy: Visibly looking old, but still manages to be a fierce fighter in the Colosseum.
* CurbStompCushion: He was the only fighter to land a blow on Kyros his entire career at the colosseum, which he only landed because Kyros was shocked to discover he was Ricky.
* DotingParent: He really loves his granddaughter, to the point that he was shown crying ManlyTears in a flashback to her birth.
* FallGuy: He became one for Doflamingo, who used his strings to literally puppet him into attacking and killing his people so that Doflamingo can "save" the populace and become their new "good" king.
* TheGoodKing: His country may have been poor, but it was thriving and his people loved him.
* HatedByAll: After the incident that Doflamingo caused, he and his family were ridiculed and laughed at. After discovering Doflamingo's atrocities, the Dressrosan people start trusting him again.
* MyGreatestFailure: Regards his slaughter of the Dressrosan citizens as this, even though it was Doflamingo who was controlling him to murder them. This affected him so much he had nightmares of that night every day, and refused to take the throne even after Doflamingo was finally defeated. Elizabello and the people of Dressrosa convince him otherwise.
* NerfArm: Ricky fights with only a blunt sword, and knocks people out with the hilt rather than hit them conventionally.
* RousingSpeech: Delivers one in Chapter 785; he announced to his people that there's still hope that they can escape the nightmare that is coming down on them all, that they have a lot of great warriors to thank and Luffy in particular to put faith on, and to keep running and surviving with the last of their strengths.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He invokes this once during the battle in Dressrosa, saying that since he (feels like he) is no longer endangered, he's going down from the plateau he's on, trying to be useful to his people. Even before that, he's the king who really cares about peace and welfare of his country. He's also a trained Colosseum fighter.
* ShutUpHannibal: When Pica taunts him about how much of a bad king he was and how his pacifistic ways lead to his kingdom's downfall, he retaliates by saying that a country that is built on war and violence would have no future, and he would choose death rather than murdering people even if it may keep him alive. Although he does admit his own helplessness and says that he's not going to take the throne again.
* TearsOfJoy:
** He cried these when his granddaughter was born.
** In the present, he cries these again when [[spoiler:Doflamingo is defeated.]]
* TechnicalPacifist: Somewhat. He's okay with fighting as a sport in the Colosseum(and he has done so himself), but he really values peace, and has worked so hard for it that his kingdom has never experienced war for a long time.
* UniversallyBelovedLeader: Riku was a beloved king who helped the other countries, protected his people, and his family managed to avoid going into war ever since they took charge of Dressrosa.

[[quoteright:165:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scarlett_anime.png]]
Scarlett was former Crowned Princess of Dressrosa, Kyros's wife, Rebecca's mother, and Viola's older sister. She was killed when her daughter was only a child.
----
* BigSisterInstinct: When she was still under the belief that Kyros was a dangerous murderer, she warned him to stay away from Viola.
* BodyguardCrush: Kyros was assigned as her and Viola's bodyguard after his release from the Colosseum. Scarlett was initially distrustful of him due to his criminal past, but that quickly changed when he saved her from pirates who had kidnapped her.
* DefrostingIceQueen: When they first met, Scarlett was skeptical over Kyros, seeing him only as a murderer. But, when he valiantly saved her from kidnappers, she changed her mind and eventually fell in love with him.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: In her husband's arms, in fact. However, since he had been turned into a toy by Sugar, she died without recognizing him. The poor man was devastated by this.
* EverybodyKnewAlready: Turns out, the adults of Dressrosa knew how Scarlett faked her death and have been living with Kyros ever since.
* FakingTheDead: She faked death by illness so that she could marry Kyros, though her family was in on the charade. And as later revealed, it didn't take long for the citizens to catch on to the truth either, though they kept their mouths shut out of respect.
* HappilyMarried: She had a mutual loving marriage with Kyros while she was alive.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: The Tiny Girl (petite, slender woman) to Kyros' Huge Guy (a muscular {{Hunk}}).
* TheLostLenore: To Kyros, as he still loves and mourns her in the present dearly.
* MamaBear: Scarlett did everything in her power to protect her daughter from the violence in Dressrosa.
* MeaningfulName: "Scarlett" can be another term for red. And she had reddish-pink hair.
* MissingMom: To Rebecca, as she was murdered when her daughter was a child.
* NiceGirl: She was known as a caring, sweet person by her subjects and close loved ones.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted; she shares her name with the gorilla from Shiki's pirate crew (albeit the gorilla's name is spelled "Scarlet", with one "t").
* RescueRomance: Scarlett began to see Kyros in a new (and romantic) light after he saved her.
* SecretRelationship: She and Kyros [[FakingTheDead faked her death]] and married in secret due to the scandal that would be created of them being together. It didn't technically stay secret for long, since the citizens soon found out about the truth anyway, but they decided to pretend they didn't know out of respect.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Looks exactly like her daughter with the only difference being hair color.
* ThroughHisStomach: She started making handmade bentos for Kyros after falling in love with him.
* UptownGirl: She (a princess) fell in love with Kyros (an ex-criminal turned soldier).

!!!'''Age:''' 29

!!!'''Devil Fruit:''' [[PerceptionFilter Glare-Glare Fruit]]
[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/viola_anime.png]]
A beautiful dancer from Dressrosa, who Sanji met shortly after the crew arrived on the island. She has eaten the Glare-Glare Fruit (''Giro Giro no Mi''), a Devil Fruit that allows her to see through people, both [[XRayVision literally]] and [[LivingLieDetector figuratively]]. But there's more to her than what she looks like...
-----
* AccentAdaptation: She is given a Latin American Spanish accent in the Funimation dub.
* ActionGirl: She's good enough at fighting to be a ranked lieutenant of the Donquixote Family. [[spoiler:Thankfully for the heroes and especially Sanji, she defects from them quite quickly into the Dressrosa Arc.]]
* AllThereInTheManual: It's stated in an SBS in Volume 83 that Viola pretended to have feelings for Doflamingo, befitting her character as a FemmeFatale. According to the author, this was excluded due to One Piece's young target demographic.
* ArchEnemy: Hates Doflamingo just as much as every member of her family. First [[spoiler:he ransacked her home]], then he [[spoiler:destroyed her family's name]], then [[spoiler:his thugs murdered her sister]], and then he forced her [[spoiler:to work for him as an assassin]] in exchange for her father's life. When she sees the best chance of taking him down ''in years'', she doesn't hesitate in betraying the Donquixote Family in order to take that chance.
* CombatStilettos: She wears them and isn't afraid to use them as weapons.
* CoolAunt: [[spoiler:To Rebecca. Viola was caring for her niece since the latter was a toddler and supported her decision to live with Kyros.]]
* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:She loses pretty badly to Doflamingo even though he was barely still standing from fighting Luffy and she was 100%. However, seeing as how he's pretty much an implacable monster, it's understandable. Also, on the flip end, she delivered a Curb Stomp to Sanji earlier on ([[WouldntHitAGirl though for obvious reasons on his part]]).]]
* DanceBattler: She incorporates dancing into her fighting style.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:Doflamingo tore her family apart and she was forced to work alongside him]].
* DatingCatwoman: [[http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/SBS_Volume_83#Chapter_833.2C_Page_118 In an SBS segment]], Oda heavily implies that she once had a sexual relationship with Doflamingo, the same man who had her sister murdered, overthrew [[TheGoodKing her father]], and forced her to work as an assassin in exchange for her father's life, but couldn't be brought up in the story proper because the target audience is so young.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Violet was ''absolutely crucial'' to Doflamingo's scheme to defeat the Straw Hat-Law Alliance, and her defection wasn't even considered by Doflamingo's higher ups and thus has thrown a huge wrench into Doflamingo's plans... And now they can't catch her, because Violet's Devil Fruit allows her to literally see them coming from miles away, ''and'' she can read their minds to see their revised plans, allowing her to stay ahead of them.
* DirtyMindReading: Accidentally, when she read Sanji's mind and found out what his mind was mostly filled with.
* DoesNotLikeMen: Nowhere near Hancock's level, but she has great cynicism towards men, mostly because she has often been lied to. She seems to make an exception for Sanji after he tells her he'd never doubt a woman's tears.
* DrivenToSuicide: After Diamante informed her that he killed Scarlett, it's strongly implied Viola was going to commit suicide after being forced into Donquixote's servitude and losing her only free relative, but Tank Lepanto stopped her, promising to protect her throughout her ordeal.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: At the climax of the Dressrosa arc, Viola comes face-to-face with [[BigBad Doflamingo]]. Despite having zero chance of possibly beating him, she chooses to die on her feet and attacks him.
* FallenPrincess: She's a former princess. [[spoiler:She actually would've eventually been a Badass Queen since her older sister forfeited the claim to their father's throne by faking her death. Unfortunately, Doflamingo killed her sister for ''real'' some time later ''and'' took the throne. After Doflamingo is defeated, she regains her status as princess. And later becomes heir to Dressrosa again as Rebecca abdicated her position to live with her father.]]
* FemmeFatale: Maintained this facade as a member of the Donquixote Pirates, though Sanji easily sees through it.
* GoodAllAlong: Turns out that she made a deal with Doflamingo to [[spoiler:serve him in exchange for her father's life]].
* HeelFaceTurn: Because of Sanji's genuine belief in her and her tears, she turns against the Doflamingo family.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: She may be an assassin, and [[WomanScorned doesn't take kindly to men doing her wrong]], but she is unwillingly working for Doflamingo, and she's actually a rather nice young woman. Sanji sees through her facade, causing her HeelFaceTurn.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: In conjunction with her dance moves, she fights with her pointed stilettos and a knife hidden in her hair decorations.
* KickChick: She likes kicking.
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Her gown doesn't stop her from fighting.
* LadyOfWar: She's able to hold her own in battle and is quite elegant in doing so.
* LivingLieDetector: She can read other people's minds, allowing her to easily see through any lies.
* LostInTranslation: The reason why she can turn her tears into whales is due to a Japanese pun -- the word "Mekujira" (literally Eye Whale) which stands for "eye's corner".
* MagicalEye: Her Devil Fruit powers basically turns her eyes into this.
* MeaningfulName: Her name can either be a nod to "ultraviolets" (which is often used to see things normally invisible to the human eye) or to Violet Gibson, the woman who tried to assassinate Benito Mussolini.
* TheMole: [[spoiler: She only agreed to work with Doflamingo in exchange of keeping her father alive; once she manages to find outside help (Straw Hats in this case) she works against her employer.]]
* MrExposition: Female version. After her HeelFaceTurn, she becomes this throughout the rest of the Dressrosa Arc, using her powers to explain the ongoings of the country to her allies.
* MsFanservice: She is introduced as a dancing girl and her first real act is to essentially seduce Sanji.
* PerceptionFilter: By holding her hands into a goggle shape and putting them over her eyes, she can "see intently" the different nature of the world and the people in it. Granted, it looks rather silly, but it's effective as hell.
* PintSizedKid: Unusually [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in the flashback to when she was 10 years old. Kids in One Piece are usually depicted as being cartoonishly toddler sized, but for whatever reason, Viola was drawn with a much more realistic height at that age. Compare the 10 year old Viola [[http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Viola?file=Viola_at_Age_10.png here]] to a more typical One Piece 10 year old [[http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Sabo?file=Dragon_Saves_Sabo.png here]].
* PowerPerversionPotential: Discussed. Usopp notes that if Sanji ever got a hold of her powers, he'd definitely use it like this.
* TheReveal: Violet's true name is [[spoiler:Viola]], and she is [[spoiler:the daughter of King Riku Dold III]], making her [[spoiler:a member of the Riku royal family, a princess, and the aunt of Rebecca]]. She's also the reason why [[spoiler:her father is still alive]]. Her Devil Fruit abilities interested Doflamingo, so she was able to [[spoiler:save her father's life in return for service to the Donquixote family.]]
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She is an assassin and [[spoiler:helps the Straw Hats defeat Doflamingo]].
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem:[[spoiler: Viola uses her own connection with her old acquaintance who is part of the World Government against Doflamingo]].
* SpicyLatina: A MsFanservice who works as a flamenco dancer and a FemmeFatale.
* SuperSenses: Her Devil Fruit also allows her to have different "viewpoints", one of which is a birds-eye view which spans 40 kilometers, or roughly 24.85 miles. This means she can observe anything on and near the island (which, to put into perspective, is almost [[HyperAwareness the same range as Eneru's Observation Haki]] pre-timeskip).
* SupportPartyMember: While her powers aren't quite as flashy as other characters', she manages to seriously help out in fight against Doflamingo by providing the Straw Hats with moment-to-moment intel.
* SwissArmyTears: They can ''turn into whales and be used as projectiles''.
* TargetSpotter: When [[spoiler:Usopp]] is going to snipe [[spoiler:Sugar]] across a mountain range, Violet acts as this to him. Her eye powers are very much helpful in determining the target's exact location.
* TearsOfJoy: [[spoiler:When Sugar is knocked out and everyone returns to human, Viola regains her memories of Kyros. Cue the young woman crying tears of joy at seeing her brother-in-law again, and realizing why the Thunder Soldier had watched over Rebecca all this time]].
* {{Telepathy}}: The mind-reading type. She can also make other people read ''her'' memories.
* WhenSheSmiles: Like Robin, she actually smiles relatively often, but her genuine smiles make her look really cute.
* XRayVision: One of the powers granted by her Devil Fruit. She can see through people's clothes and skin easily.

[[folder:"The Undefeated Woman" Rebecca]]
!!"The Undefeated Woman" Rebecca
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Music/MegumiHayashibara (JP), Creator/ChristineMarieCabanos (EN)
!!!'''Age:''' 16
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 704 (Manga), Episode 633 (Anime)
[[quoteright:230:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rebecca_anime.png]]
[[caption-width-right:230:[[labelnote:Click here to see her as a Lady-in-waiting.]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rebecca_anime_infobox.png]][[/labelnote]]
A prideful female warrior who has joined the Dressrosa tournament at Corrida Colosseum, with intentions of winning the Flame-Flame Fruit and killing Doflamingo. In the end, she didn't succeed, but she did help the others. Like Violet, Rebecca's past has personal ties with the royal family and those connected with her.
-----
* AbdicateTheThrone: As the only descendant of Riku's firstborn child, Rebecca is named the heir of the Riku dynasty. Rebecca [[DaddysGirl rescinds her status to live with Kyros]], passing the position to Viola with her consent.
* AccentAdaptation: She is given a Latin American Spanish accent in the Funimation dub.
* AdaptationalCurves: The anime has conspicuously enlarged her breasts.
* AerithAndBob: A mild case with her and her family's names. "Rebecca" and "Scarlett" are fairly common English/American names[[note]]the former has roots in Hebrew and Arab Peninsula[[/note]], but her aunt is "Viola" (named after the instrument, but typically an Italian female first name when given as a name), her father "Kyros" (a Greek name), her grandfather "Dold", and the entire family's name is Riku (Finnish/Japanese).
* BadassAdorable: She's a very cute young girl, especially when she softens up near Luffy. She's also, despite her aversion to fighting, skilled enough to defeat and survive against many powerful and blood-thirsty opponents in the Corrida Colosseum.
* BadassPacifist: She's the first character seen with a totally Observation Haki-based fighting style, and thus fights by ''dodging'' her opponents in creative ways that result in them taking out themselves or each other. [[spoiler:[[ChekhovsSkill This ability makes her]] [[TacticalRockPaperScissors the perfect counter]] to the rampaging Cavendish, as she's just fast enough to take a non-fatal blow to her helmet while everyone else gets cut down, winning her the D-Block round.]]
* BraidsOfAction: Under her helmet.
* ChainmailBikini: Almost literally: she wears nothing but a paludamentum (mantle), helmet, greaves and bracers. Her body armor consists of scaled brassiers and loincloth.
* CombatClairvoyance: It's hinted that Rebecca has Observation Haki, which allows her to anticipate the enemy's moves and dodge them.
* CommonalityConnection: At the Reverie, she quickly bonds with Vivi, Coby, Shirahoshi, and Dalton over their shared friendship with Luffy.
* CoolHelmet: Rebecca wears an helmet as part of her gladiator outfit, it saves her from Hakuba's attack, giving her the win in the D-Block.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Her fighting style is extremely useful in tournament matches, during which she can trick opponents into falling out of the ring, using their strength against them and her speed to her advantage. However, because her fighting style lacks any proper ''attacks'', it is completely inadapted to regular fights.
* DaddysGirl: She deeply loves her father Kyros. In fact, her main motivation for trying to get the Flame Flame fruit was so that she could protect him from harm.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: She lived on the point of starvation with her mother, then [[spoiler:her mother was killed and she too was hunted. Only the one-legged toy soldier was her friend as they fought to survive under Doflamingo's rule. For an extra layer of tragic irony, the aforementioned toy soldier was actually her ''biological father'' turned into a toy by Doflamingo, the memories of whom she lost after his transformation]].
* DramaticIrony: When the Thunder Soldier comes to her and dissuades her from participating in the tournament (and calling her "not an adult despite 16 already"), she understandably gets enraged, stating that they cannot wait any longer since everyone is losing hope, deriding the statue of Kyros as nothing but a fictional, idealized soldier that represents the hope that the convict gladiators may one day escape captivity, and then says that [[YoureNotMyFather he isn't even her real father]], but just a one-legged toy, which visibly hurts them both. [[spoiler:The irony being that Thunder Soldier is actually Kyros -- ''and her biological father''. We don't learn the former until the end of the chapter, but the point still stands.]]
* DeadlyDodging: Her main method of combat in the Colosseum is by dodging her enemies' attacks and leave them helpless from the recovery to strike back.
* EasilyForgiven: She tries to kill Luffy, but he shrugs it off because she didn't do it out of malice but rather desperation, her attempt was weak-willed, she was extremely outmatched, and she brought him lunch.
* FauxActionGirl: Rebecca has skill, to be sure, but the title of the "Undefeated Woman" results from foes that she can outmaneuver and knock out of the ring. When forced into a situation where she actually has to attack, her performance is lackluster. Justified in that because Scarlett didn't want Rebecca to fight, the Thunder Soldier taught her how to ''defend herself'' as opposed to attacking directly. Also, she's really just a civilian being forced into fights above her level, which is impressive when compared to the rest of the commonfolk, who have walked away maimed, helpless, or not at all.
* FragileSpeedster: She's clearly not as tough as the likes of Luffy or the other competitors, but she's very fast, using that advantage to get them to take each other and themselves out without ever having to strike back. [[spoiler:She's even fast enough to avoid being hit too hard by Hakuba's attacks, granting her victory in her block.]]
* GenerationXerox: Just like her mother [[spoiler:she threw away her status as crown princess so she could live with Kyros. Riku even lampshades it.]]
* TheGlomp: At the conclusion of the Dressrosa arc, she tearfully jumps onto Kyros and hugs him.
* HeroicBSOD: She goes through one when [[spoiler:she realizes that Diamante killed her mother, Scarlett]].
* HiddenDepths: Rebecca seems to have a mysterious past involving Spartan, Thunderous Soldier of Rage, and Doflamingo. To a lesser extent, with Kyros (a legendary combatant) and Ricky as well. [[spoiler:It's revealed that she's a princess of the royal family, Ricky being King Riku (her grandfather), and the Soldier being her father, Kyros, in toy form. And Doflamingo is the one who toppled her grandfather and radically changed Dressrosa into what it is now.]]
* ImNotHungry: Because [[spoiler:her mother died trying to get food for her]].
* InelegantBlubbering: When Luffy shows up to save her [[spoiler:from killing Violet under Doflamingo's control]], she is an understandably very messy crier. Also when she [[spoiler:convinces Kyros to stay as her father despite his guilt]], to the point that mucus is dripping over her mouth.
* LadyInWaiting: She's serving as this to her aunt, as they're preparing to attend the Reverie. [[spoiler:Considering Rebecca herself forfeited her title as princess to live with her father.]]
* TheLawOfDiminishingDefensiveEffort: Inverted (change "defensive" to "offensive") -- she usually doesn't attack much on her own (outside of CounterAttack), but she starts to charge at Diamante. This change of strategy is noted by the commentator.
* LukeIAmYourFather:
** Unbeknownst to her, the Thunder Soldier, the toy who raised her as his adoptive daughter, is, in fact, [[spoiler:her ''biological'' father turned into a toy]]. It's stated that the reason Rebecca doesn't know this is because of the amnesia induced by Sugar's power, causing Rebecca to forget all about him as soon as he became a toy. Upon meeting again he decided to withhold the information from her -- probably because toys who attempt to reveal the truth of their identities and their previous human nature are immediately sent to the scrap heap. The aspect of the reveal for the trope is downplayed because he revealed it not to Rebecca, but to the Straw Hats and the Tontatta Tribe.
** Becomes a double doozy when it's revealed -- initially to others, not Rebecca herself -- that the Toy Soldier is ''also'' [[spoiler:the legendary gladiator Kyros, who once fought three thousand straight battles without suffering a single hit]]. Rebecca learns of it after all the toys are transformed back and she regains her memories of her father.
* MsFanservice: She's a cute girl that fights in the most revealing outfit of the series. She is considered extremely attractive and beautiful by the other gladiators. Plus, the anime makes her more busty.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Rebecca tearfully tells the Thunder Soldier that [[YoureNotMyFather he isn't her father]] when the latter tries to dissuade her from participating in the tournament. She is understandably regretful, knowing that her anger over Doflamingo's false resignation caused her to go too far.
* NerfArm: Like Ricky's sword, hers is also blunt. You see, they're grandpa and granddaughter.
* OhCrap: When she realizes that she went too far during her argument with the Thunder Soldier over her participation in the tournament.
* {{Pacifist}}: In honor of her mother's memory, Rebecca is a pacifist. Every single victory she's achieved in the Colosseum was due to ring-outs. However, [[SubvertedTrope she is willing to go against this]] if it means protecting those she loves such as Kyros. For instance, she enters the tournament to obtain the Flame Flame fruit in order to protect the Thunder Soldier. While she still relies on ring-outs in the tournament, she attempts to attack Luffy (Although she noticeably hesitates) out of desperation after seeing how easily he clears out his first Colosseum fight. Later on when Kyros is fighting Diamante and she sees how badly injured he is, she attempts to fight Diamante as well, although Robin holds her back. This trope is actually enforced by both Kyros and Robin, who recognize that Rebecca doesn't ''really'' want to hurt others, and they both do all they can so that Rebecca won't have to stain her hands with blood.
* PluckyGirl: She won't stay long in the Colosseum and honor her mother's wish of not hurting anyone (Thunder Soldier's non-violent training helps too) if she doesn't have that much pluck.
* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: She is actually [[spoiler:the 16 year old daughter of Scarlett and Kyros and the granddaughter of Riku Dold III, therefore being one of the original princesses of Dressrosa.]] And another reason [[spoiler:Doflamingo wants her dead. She loses the "princess" part when she forfeits her title to live with her father at the end of the Dressrosa arc]].
* RedBaron: Aside from the aforementioned "Undefeated Woman" moniker, she's also known as the "Phantom Princess".
* RingOut: This is her main method of disposing of opponents. It's noted that she has never injured any enemy directly because she always does this.
* SinsOfOurFathers: Because her grandfather was the previous king of Dressrosa and everyone resented him, the audiences in the Colosseum are all too happy to ridicule her. That was a FrameUp by Doflamingo, and once the truth is revealed, the people regain respect for the entire Riku family.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her gladiator "armor" is probably the most revealing outfit in the series. The Corrida Colosseum has a weight limit on armor to maximize injuries (and consequently, bloodshed), and Rebecca in particular focuses on speedily outmaneuvering her opponents, but still...
* StrongFamilyResemblance: She [[SheIsAllGrownUp grew up]] to be the spitting image of her late mother Scarlett. It becomes especially jarring when [[spoiler:she regains her title as princess]] and wears an almost identical dress to the one her mom used to wear; you'd almost think Scarlett has come back from the grave. That resemblance even extends to personality, as [[spoiler:both of them threw away their status as princess so they could live with Kyros; a fact Viola and Riku Dold lampshade]].
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: A sixteen-year-old, pink-haired, scantily clad princess who learned pacifism from a mother shot ten years ago who Luffy is falsely accused of kidnapping when she asked to be taken somewhere? Back already, Shirahoshi?
* TearsOfJoy: She cries out of happiness when [[spoiler:she remembers her dad and meets him again, then later when Doflamingo is defeated at last, and a third time when she and Kyros are reunited for good and they decide to live together]].
* ThisIsUnforgivable: When Diamante shoots [[spoiler:Kyros]]'s leg and then makes him get hit by the raining spiky balls, Rebecca is understandably outraged and needs Robin to stop her from launching at Diamante.
* WeakButSkilled: An especially notable case in the series. Because she doesn't want to hurt anyone, she is very weak, but her speed, Observation Haki and skill in making people knock themselves out or lure them into falling out of the ring make up for it, and allows her to survive undefeated in a Colosseum full of powerful and bloodthirsty warriors.
* WingdingEyes: For a brief humorous moment in the Reverie arc, she gets adorable puddle-shaped eyes as Vivi correctly guesses Luffy saved Dressrosa.
* WorthyOpponent: Rebecca seems to feel this way towards Luffy as she said it would be nice if they both progressed to the second round of the tournament.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Well, in the [[ImpossibleHourglassFigure body]], at least. Her face looks believably young, much like Princess Shirahoshi who's the same age (sixteen, for the curious).

-----
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:He comes to Luffy's aid when he's exhausted and needing a few minutes to recover. He also brings the other half of the Colosseum participants in tow to stall Doflamingo.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: While he mostly serves as a commentor in the Corrida Colosseum, [[spoiler:he plays a role in Doflamingo's defeat at the end of the Dressrosa Arc, being the one who saves Luffy after he runs out of energy for using Gear Four and rallying up the people of Dressrosa against Doflamingo]].
* CombatCommentator: His role in the Corrida Colosseum is to serve as a commentator during fights.
* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler: He buys Luffy time by [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu mocking Doflamingo]] despite knowing what that entails, and indeed [[DoNotTauntCthulhu gets impaled for his trouble]].

!!!Corrida Colosseum Tournament Participants
[[folder:In General]]
The various gladiators and other fighters participating in the Corrida Colosseum Tournament to get their hands on the [[PlayingWithFire Flame-Flame Fruit]].
----
* ActionGirl: Rebecca and Acilia can more than hold their own; even more when they're teamed up.
* AnnoyingArrows: When Luffy dodges all of Jean Ango's projectile weapons with Observation Haki, they end up lodged in Chinjao's gut. All this does is make Chinjao mad, [[CurbStompBattle which results in Jean's defeat rather quickly]].
* BadassCape: A good number of them wear cool capes, like Rebecca, Cavendish (though his is a CoatCape), Sai, and Elizabello.
* BearHug: Rolling Logan from D Block crushes two opponents' bones with a big hug, being a huge man.
* BodyguardingABadass: Quite a few competitors guard King Elizabello during the B Block fight despite being weaker than him. This is both to provide him time to [[ChargedAttack charge his King Punch]] and, according to Elizabello himself, to protect the other competitors from taking the King Punch.
* BountyHunter: One competitor, Jean Ango, is a bounty hunter, while both Abdullah and Jeet are former bounty hunters.
* CondemnedContestant: [[spoiler:After tricking them with "medical operations", Doflamingo sends every loser in the battle underground with broken toys so that Sugar can turn them into living toys.]]
* CrossCounter: Both Ideo and Sai manage to land simultaneous blows on each other at one point.
* DeadlyDodging: Luffy effortlessly dodges Jean Ango's thrown weapons... which all fly into Chinjao's gut. Chinjao then knocks Ango out of the ring.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: While some of them are evil, the big named participants would never [[spoiler:betray Usopp and his friends for freeing them from their toy curse and they attack the ungrateful participants who would try to capture them.]]
* EvilSorcerer: The gladiator Mummy from Block D is introduced as a "Sorcerer". The exact nature of said "sorcery" has yet to be revealed.
* FluffyTamer: As usual for him, Luf-- er, Lucy manages to tame The Fighting Bull.
* FluffyTheTerrible: Lucy nicknames the bull that he tames "[[SublimeRhyme Ucy]]" (a pun for the Japanese word for bull, ''ushi'').
* ForcedTransformation: [[spoiler:Trebol and Sugar abduct all the failing contestants of the tournament and turn them into living toys]].
* KiManipulation: Many competitors of the tournament use Haki.
* KingOfBeasts: Agyo, one of the fighters of the D Block, is a white lion. Orlumbus easily defeats him, though.
* MuggingTheMonster: Spartan, the star of the Colosseum, upon seeing Luffy, thought he was a puny runt that didn't belong in the tournament and angrily attacks him. [[CurbStompBattle You can probably guess what happens to him afterwards]].
* OhCrap:
** Jean Ango's expression when Chinjao's about to attack him.
** Bellamy's expression when King Elizabello's about to launch his King Punch.
** Heck, the audience and commentator do this many times. Many unexpected things happen here, after all.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Taken to hilarious extremes when ''all of them'' insist that they will personally kill Doflamingo.
* PyroManiac: Damask is described in his introduction as a pyromaniac, what with his strange ability to breathe fire.
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Part of Jean Ango's fighting style is throwing sharp weapons at his opponents.
* {{Ungrateful Bastard}}s: At first they all worship [[spoiler:Usopp for freeing them from Sugar's toy powers. Once Doflamingo puts a price on his head, however, all the no-name gladiators shed their graditude and try to capture Usopp instead, though many of them change their mind and end up helping Usopp and his crew anyway thanks to Gatz.]]
* {{Vibroweapon}}: The Chinjao family know a martial art called ''Hasshouken'' that makes their ''fists and kicks'' into vibroweapons that can bypass armor and shields.
* YouShallNotPass: [[spoiler:They (well, most of them) all rally together to hold Doflamingo's forces and executives so Luffy (and Cavendish, Law, and Kyros) can continue to go to Doflamingo's place, courtesy of Dagama.]]

[[folder:King Elizabello II]]
!!King Elizabello II
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Katsumi Chō (JP), Andy Mullins (EN)
!!!'''Age:''' 57
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 704 (Manga), Episode 632 (Anime)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/elizabello_ii_anime.png]]
The king of Prodence Kingdom, and also one of the fighters who joined as a gladiator at the Corrida Colosseum to compete for the Flame-Flame Fruit.
------
* AwesomeButImpractical: The King Punch is said to be powerful enough to knock down one of the Four Emperors and tear down fortresses, but the hour-long charge time makes it impractical to rely on it in a fight; the only reason he manages to fire it in the Colosseum is because his men guard him the whole time.
* BadassCape: He's always seen wearing a cape, which reflects both his kingly status and his immense power in combat.
* BeginWithAFinisher: His King Punch can defeat anything and can't be dodged, so he always opens with it. It's also the only move he knows. Taken to the point of {{parod|iedTrope}}y because he needs his guards to protect him for the full hour it takes to charge up the punch.
* BoxingBattler: His fighting preference is boxing, and he prefers to fight using boxing gloves.
* ChargedAttack: His patented [[MegatonPunch King Punch]] needs roughly an hour of charge time. He can also use it without it being fully charged yet, but it'll get proportionately weaker as a result.
* ChekhovsGun: At one point, when Zoro has difficulty fighting Pica, King Elizabello offers help with his King Punch, but Zoro tells him to save it for later. Later, when Pica in his gigantic stone form is walking towards King Riku, Elizabello thinks it's the right time and prepares to let it out... and Zoro still tells him to hold back a bit. [[spoiler:The King Punch does get used later... as cleanup for Pica's leftover stone body. (He does save everyone on the plateau by doing so, though.)]]
* CoolCrown: His golden hoop crown does a fine job of showing his kingly status.
* CripplingOverspecialization: The King Punch is insanely powerful, but also needs to be charged and Elizabello can't really do any other fighting while charging it. He seems to rely entirely on it, so he's really only useful about once an hour.
* GlassCannon: His King Punch can absolutely wreck havoc in the field, but he has to prepare himself for an hour and he's largely helpless when he's preparing. One barrier punch from Bartolomeo is all that's needed to knock him down once his guards are taken out.
* LargeAndInCharge: He's pretty big and he's a king.
* MundaneUtility: Elizabello II considers [[spoiler:using his powerful punch to clean up the remains of Pica's massive stone body before they fell on those below]] to be a rather disappointing use of his power.
* OddFriendship: He's friends with King Riku Doldo III despite him being a pacifist.
* OneHitKill: His speciality is the King Punch, which is said to be sufficient to bring down an ''Emperor'', but he can only use it once per hour and is largely helpless while he's building up the momentum to perform it. He can, however, fire it off early at the cost of reduced power.
* RankScalesWithAsskicking: He's a king and a single punch from him can tear down a fortress.
* RedBaron: He's known as the "The Fighting King".
* RedBoxingGloves: He uses golden boxing gloves instead of red ones, but they're still brightly colored enough to be very noticeable.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Although he's a king, he also has a passion for fighting as shown when he personally enters the Corrida Colosseum competition to win the Flame-Flame Fruit. [[spoiler:And he's one of the many fighters who aid the Straw Hat Pirates in taking down Doflamingo]].
* TopHeavyGuy: His legs are much tinier than his comparatively large body and arms. It makes sense since he's a boxer.
* TheWorfBarrage: During the B Block fight, Elizabello's MegatonPunch [[spoiler:knocks out just about everyone in one shot, including Bellamy, a major threat]]. That is, [[spoiler:he knocks out everyone except for Bartolomeo, whose force field [[NoSell no sells]] his punch before he promptly takes the king out with little effort]].

The shady strategist of the Prodence Kingdom who participates in the Corrida Colosseum tournament alongside his king.
----
* EvilGenius: Dagama is a very unpleasant and effective [[TheStrategist strategist]] who is not above manipulating other combatants into helping him and his king only to betray them later on.
* {{Gonk}}: In comparison to many of the other Corrida Colosseum competitors, Dagama appears to be extraordinary ugly to the point where he happens to resemble [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Eggman]].
* SignatureLaugh: His unique laugh is: "Gamahahahahah!"
* TheStrategist: His role is to serve as King Elizabello's tactician, and he displays many strategic talents such as having knowledge of his enemies and being able to unify warriors under his guidance.
* ThisMeansWar: Dagama declares his desire to start war against [[spoiler:Doflamingo when he's trapped in the underground with the rest of the tourney losers]].
* UngratefulBastard: [[spoiler:After Usopp frees him from being a living toy, he initially wants to cash in on the bounty that Doflamingo places on Usopp and his crew. [[SubvertedTrope Though]], after Elizabello scolds him, he changes his mind and becomes an ally to the crew instead]].
* YouShallNotPass: [[spoiler:During their fight against Doflamingo's army, he organizes a rally of fellow competitors to hold off Doflamingo's forces and create an opening for Luffy and his group. He later personally gets involved when, after Dellinger gores him, he holds the latter in place and tells Luffy and co to go forward.]]

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Kelly and Bobby Funk are based on actual, famous wrestling brothers Wrestling/TerryFunk and Wrestling/DoryFunkJr.

The older and more ruthless Funk Brother. He has a bounty of 57,000,000 Berries.
----
* BerserkButton: Kelly hates it when somebody [[TheNapoleon makes fun of his height]] to the point that he will continue to beat his opponent even after they're unconscious.
* CombatPragmatist: Kelly is an exceptionally dirty fighter, as he'll beat up an opponent even when they're unconscious or use spiked gloves to ensure victory.
* EquippableAlly: Kelly has the power of the Jacket-Jacket Fruit (''Jake Jake no Mi''), which turns him into a jacket. Anyone who wears him is possessed by him, giving Kelly all of their abilities.
* GlassCannon: Although Kelly can throw out powerful fast punches, he also can't take much damage since he easily goes down from Boo's Hasshouken punch.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Kelly's Jacket-Jacket Fruit (where his body unzips and unfurls like a jacket) sounds about as useful as [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable taking photographs]] or [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia rotating your shoulders really fast.]] But when your brother is a StoneWall who can tank Haki-infused attacks, it's ''[[FusionDance very]]'' [[LightningBruiser efficient,]] as poor Boo [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown finds out the hard way.]]
* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Kelly, when angered, tends to attack whoever angers him even after they're unconscious.
* TheNapoleon: Kelly is the shorter of the two brothers and is also the more aggressive and violent of the two.

* MadeOfDiamond: Bobby is ridiculously durable as shown when he takes an Armament Haki-imbued axe to the back and stays intact, with the axe's hilt snapped in two in the process.
* StoneWall: Bobby has the intriguing distinction of being the first character seen who can resist Haki with his natural defenses, as proven when he tanks a Haki-imbued axe.

->''"Even toys have things they want to protect. But no tears will fall from these tin eyes..."''
Introduced as a one-legged toy soldier, who is also a criminal in Dressrosa, with a grudge against Doflamingo and plots with the Tontatta to remove him from the throne. He quickly aligns with the Straw Hats and offers to help Franky take down the Smile factory. He also shares a past with Rebecca, having taken care of her after her mother's death and trained her to fight without hurting people.
He's later revealed to actually be Kyros, the legendary champion of the Corrida Colosseum and Rebecca's father, turned into a toy by Sugar. In the past, he used to be a violent criminal, until king Riku talked him into a better person. After saving Scarlett, Riku's eldest daughter, she fell in love with him and the two had a secret marriage, from which Rebecca was born. Unfortunately, it ended in tragedy after Doflamingo usurped the Riku family.
Kyros is a formidable warrior, the best of all Dressrosa, and fights using a sword. He's very loyal to Riku and cares a lot for his daughter, whom he wishes to not take his path as a killer. Kyros is also full of doubts because of his past as a rebellious teen and can't forgive himself for having murdered people.
-----
* AccentAdaptation: Just like Rebecca, he is given a Latin American Spanish accent in the Funimation dub.
* ActionDad: Kyros is the Champion of the Corrida Colosseum as well as Scarlett's husband and Rebecca's father. With the death of his wife at the hands of Diamante, Kyros, while turned into a soldier, dedicated his life to his daughter, raising and training her even if Rebecca doesn't have any memory of him. During the climax of the Dressrosa Arc, Kyros fights Diamante to protect Rebecca and avenge Scarlett.
* AnArmAndALeg: Similar to Literature/TheSteadfastTinSoldier, Thunder Soldier is a toy soldier with just one leg. Ten years befor the events of Dressrosa, he was still a human, Kyros cut off his own leg to rush at Doflamingo, but was touched by Sugar and transformed into a toy, while also forgotten by everyone.
* AssholeVictim: Not him, but the people he killed as a teenager. They had previously taken the life of his friend and Kyros murdered them out of vengeance. [[SubvertedTrope However]], in the eyes of the law and in the eyes of Kyros ''himself'', this doesn't justify taking their lives. Kyros deeply regrets these murders as an adult and does all he can to redeem himself.
* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: To give him a better life, and noticing that he's the best gladiator in the history of the Corrida Colosseum, king Riku grants him the position of army commander.
* TheAtoner: Kyros always feels guilty for the murders he committed in the past, not helped by the people who hated him when he was a gladiator, but Riku helped him become a better person and told him to help others to make amends for his mistakes.
* BadassBoast: When he meets Diamante after many years, Kyros declares himself the wrath of Dressrosa's people before beginning his fight with the pirate.
-->"I am the wrath of this country's people, and I shall take you down!"
* BadassCape: Kyros wears a red cape that makes him more imposing and, with its color, indicates that he can be violent in combat.
* BadassNormal: Kyros has no Devil Fruit powers, but he's by far the strongest warrior Dressrosa has to offer. He's an undefeated champion of the Colosseum, and defeats two of Doflamingo's high-ranking officers, Buffalo and Diamante. The former he defeats with ease, the latter he struggles against because Diamante keeps targeting his daughter.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In his youth when he was still a human, no matter how many victories he won in the Colosseum, no would ever let him live it down that he was a murderer. For that he wished people would just simply forget his existence. Then, after building a genuinely happy life for himself, everyone, including the people he loved, forgot his existence thanks to Sugar's Devil Fruit powers, with the added burden of being a toy. The worst part is that he couldn't tell anyone, because he would be tossed into the scrap heap otherwise.
* {{BFS}}: As a human, his main weapon is a sword nearly as large as him, fitting for a skilled gladiator.
* BoyfriendBlockingDad: A montage of flashbacks shows that he's not only a PapaWolf who protected Rebecca from bullies, but he also punished boys who gave her love letters the exact same way.
* BrokenAce: He's Dressrosa strongest fighter and the best gladiator ever seen in the Corrida Colosseum, but he's also full of regret and self-loathing for his murderous past and considers himself unworthy of having a loving family and a happy life. It didn't help that, when he was a gladiator, the crowd kept hating him for the same reasons.
* ChickMagnet: When he was a royal guard, many ladies swooned for him but he always refused their advances.
* TheComicallySerious: Some of the flashbacks to his and Rebecca's past show him in this light, due to being so nervous around Scarlett and his attempts to cheer Rebecca up.
* CondemnedContestant: Like some RealLife Roman gladiators, Kyros was originally a criminal who was sentenced into the arena. He was given the chance to win his freedom if he could win 100 consecutive wins. Despite having done so, he chose to stay due to the people's hatred for him.
* CurbStompBattle: His fight with Diamante lasts for a while because he tries to protect and prevent Rebecca from soiling her hands. The moment Robin arrives and keeps Rebecca safe, nothing Diamante throws at Kyros works, and the moment the latter gets in range, Diamante goes down in one hit.
* {{Determinator}}: He gets hit by a lot of falling SpikeBallsOfDoom during his fight with Diamante and keeps on going, saying that no real warrior would be intimidated by such attacks, while Diamante looks on in shock.
* DisappearedDad: Played with. Rebecca doesn't have any memories of Kyros, her father, and thus believes herself to have grown up fatherless, not counting [[ParentalSubstitute Thunder Soldier]]. In truth, she lost her memories pf him after he got turned into a toy, the same one that took care of her after her mother died. When Kyros is turned back into a human and Rebecca regains her memories, she bursts into tears at the sudden realization that she always had her father at her side.
* DotingParent: In Rebecca's childhood, Kyros at first refused to touch her, not wanting to soil such a pure angel [[TheseHandsHaveKilled with his dirty hands]], and cried from happiness whenever he played with her. Following Scarlett's death, Kyros, transformed into a toy and took care of Rebecca as she grew up even if she didn't recognize or even remember him.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: As a teen, Kyros was a criminal who lived on the streets, then became a gladiator but was hated by everyone because of his past crimes. He found some happiness when he became a royal guard and then married Scarlett in secret and had a daughter with her, and, while he kept self-loathing and thinking himself to be unworthy of it, he had an happy life. Unfortunately, when the Donquixote Pirates arrived, he was turned into a toy and forgotten by everyone, including his wife, who got killed shortly after, and his daughter. After enduring and fighting Doflamingo's tyranny for ten years, Luffy ends Doflamingo's rule, Kyros is turned back into a human and gets to live happily with his daughter, who chooses by her own will to stay with him rather than being a princess.
* EveryScarHasAStory: Kyros received a single scar in his fight with king Riku, who was fighting incognito. Upon recognizing his king, Kyros dropped his guard for a moment out of shock and was hit. Afterwards, Riku offers Kyros the chance to become a better person and the position of army commander.
* {{Expy}}: His one-legged toy form is taken directly from the eponymous character in Literature/TheSteadfastTinSoldier.
* FaceOfAThug: Kyros's face is rough and lacks eyebrows, making him look like an evil person. While he's a good person, he was a criminal as a teenager.
* FailureKnight: Thunder Soldier is extremely adamant in his desire to protect Rebecca because, when he was still human, despite being Dressrosa's strongest fighter, he failed to protect his king, who was dethroned, and his wife, who was killed.
* FlawedPrototype: Played with. Thunder Soldier is the first toy Sugar ever created, and one of the few not compelled by a Geas to obey the Family, though only because Sugar didn't start giving orders to the newly transformed toys at the time.
* {{Foil}}: Kyros acts as a contrast to Diamante, who is also his arch-enemy for having killed his wife, Scarlett. Both are champions in the Corrida Colosseum but, while Kyros fights fairly with only his sword, Diamante uses his Devil Fruit to set traps and tricks to win. This is emphasized in their fight, where Diamante keeps Kyros on the edge by using said tricks. After Diamante decides to engage fairly in direct combat, he gets struck down bywith a single strike from Kyros.
* ForcedTransformation: Like all living toys, Thunder Soldier is one of the many victims of Sugar's Hobby-Hobby fruit, although he remains a fearful warrior.
* FormerTeenRebel: Deconstructed. In his early teens, Kyros is a violent misfit who killed people, but King Riku Doldo brings him to a better path. After becoming a better person, Kyros reveals he killed those people to avenge his friend. However, Dressrosa citizens and Kyros himself would never forget his past as a murderer, and for this reason he develops a huge guilt complex that prevents him from leaving his gladiator life and makes him think he's unworthy to be a father or just to hold a baby in his hands.
* FourStarBadass: After fighting Kyros directly in the arena, king Riku granted him the position as Dressrosa army commander. This allowed him to meet Scarlett, the woman he later married.
* GenerationXerox: Like his daughter, Kyros was a gladiator who, despite his incredible skills in the Colosseum, was widely hated by the audience. However, Kyros made sure that Rebecca didn't grew up like him, and taught her how to avoid attack and not hurt anyone.
* GoodParents: Kyros is an incredibly loving and devoted father. Even after being turned into a toy, he does all he can to give his daughter Rebecca a safe and happy childhood.
* GreaterNeedThanMine: When he meets Mansherry, she notes that he's heavily wounded and she wants to heal him, but he replies that there are many other people in Dressrosa that might need it more than he does.
* GuiltComplex: Kyros' guilt over his murders never go away, even after he has cleaned his name in the eyes of everyone. As a teen, he became a convict gladiator as punishment and was granted permission to leave after one hundred victories. However, he willingly chose to keep going because he felt that he could never let go of those crimes and the crowd kept booing him. In the present, his mentality still lingers; he feels that he can be the one Dressrosan citizen who can spill out blood when the others love and value peace.
* HandicappedBadass: Even as a one-legged toy, he can still escape the police and get around effortlessly, although his frail tin body does hinder him. When he returns human, still without a leg, he keeps the terrifying power he had when he was a gladiator and Doflamingo gives him a bounty equal to Zoro's.
* HappilyMarried: Despite not feeling worthy of it, Kyros had a mutual loving marriage with Scarlett until she was killed. Scarlett even gave up her royal status just to live with him.
* HeartbrokenBadass: Kyros' wife was killed ten years before the events of the Dressrosa Arc, when the Donquixote Pirates invaded Dressrosa, and he still mourns her death. He finds some peace after he defeats Diamante, the man who killed her, and avenges her.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Albeith a former criminal and gladiator, Kyros main weapon is a classic sword that shows how more heroic he is.
* HiddenDepths:
** Introduced as a criminal toy, he's quickly revealed to know Rebecca from his past, but the latter's tears upon seeing him again and the fact that he himself is unable to cry, imply that their past isn't a pretty one. In truth, he is the legendary gladiator Kyros - who won three thousand straight battles in the Colosseum without suffering a single blow - who married princess Scarlett and had a child together: Rebecca. However, everyone forgot his existence when Sugar turned him into a toy, and Scarlett was killed by one of Doflamingo's pirates. So Kyros was forced to raise Rebecca by himself without telling her who he really was, lest he be tossed on the scrap heap.
** Despite appearing as a strong and brave warrior, Kyros is full of self-deprecation for having killed in his youth, and always considers himself unworthy of everything good he has, from his marriage to his daughter.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Kyros, a very muscular man, married the petite and slender Scarlett. The size difference is very noticeable when they are together.
* IHaveNoIdeaWhatImDoing: When Usopp asks him what the Operation Dressrosa SOP (defeating Sugar of Donquixote Family and supposedly turning every toy back to normal) entails, Thunder Soldiers replies that he doesn't know and only suspects that everything will turn upside down once it happens. Luckily, the plan works, albeith thanks to major luck.
* IOweYouMyLife: Kyros is very devoted to King Riku because he gave him the chance of a better life and amend of his crimes while everyone else hated him.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: After Doflamingo is defeated and the Riku family returns on the throne, Kyros attempts to cut ties with Rebecca. Because of his past as a criminal, Rebecca would lose her royal status if it became known that Kyros was her father. Kyros, believing that Rebecca would be happier as a member of royalty, spreads a false rumor with Riku that Scarlett eloped with a prince from a far-away country. Rebecca doesn't have any of it, and gives up her royal status to live with her father, Kyros.
* ImprobableAge: Kyros became the strongest gladiator in the history of the Corrida Colosseum when he was still in his early twenties and defeated thousands of warriors with much more experience than him without getting hurt once.
* InelegantBlubbering: In the cover for chapter 847, he's sobbing out of pure joy and gratitude when Rebecca and the Tontattas throw him a birthday party.
* InsecureLoveInterest: When Scarlett fell in love with him, Kyros refused her advances because he believed that, due to his past as a murderer, he wasn't good enough for her.
* ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: While he hates Doflamingo as much as everyone else, Kyros holds a particular grudge for Diamante, one of Doflamingo's top officers who killed his wife. During the climax of the Dressrosa Arc, Kyros confronts Diamante, while also protecting his daughter, and defeats him.
* LifeOrLimbDecision: Downplayed. When Doflamingo was about to kill King Riku, Kyros cut off his chained leg to save his king. Unfortunately, he [[AllForNothing got turned into a toy shortly after]].
* LivingLegend: Kyros is the strongest gladiator in the history of the Corrida Colosseum, holding an undefeated streak of 3000 victories -- including fighting a giant and a Fish-man, the latter while underwater -- and has a bronze statue to honor his "memory". During his entire career, he was only hit once, and only because he recognized that his latest opponent was King Riku in disguise. He's so strong that Doflamingo gives him a bounty as high as Zoro's. Ironically, when he was turned into a toy, everyone forgot about him and is aware of his existance thanks to his statue in the Corrida Colosseum.
* LivingToys: He is one of many living toys in Dressrosa and the one who gets the most screentime. As a whole, Thunder Soldier/Kyros represents the people who have been turned into toys and forgotten by their loved ones.
* LukeIAmYourFather: After many chapters, it's revealed that Thunder Soldier is Rebecca's biological father, Scarlett's husband, and King Riku's son-in-law, making him a member of the Riku royal family and one of the main targets of the Donquixote family. Rebecca realizes it when Kyros is turned human again and she regains the memories of him, crying out of happiness that her father has always been with her.
* MadeOfIron: During his fight with Diamante, the latter hits Kyros with multiple attacks, including a rain of iron spiky balls, but Kyros endures all of them. Diamante himself remains in disbelief in the face of Kyros's toughness.
* ManlyTears: Kyros is one of the manliest characters in the series, but that doesn't stop him from expressing his emotions. After a decade of Doflamingo's tyranny is brought to an end, Kyros' tears show his relief without removing from his manliness.
* MorphicResonance: Kyros cut off his left leg to free himself and rush at Doflamingo but got turned into a toy soldier that misses its left leg as well, making clear to everyone who he is when he's turned back.
* NervesOfSteel: When he was human, he cut off his own leg without a second thought to have a chance at killing Doflamingo and protect king Riku.
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: Tragically, despite his wife dying in his hands, Kyros was turned into a toy and forgotten by everyone, which meant they couldn't properly say goodbye. To make it even more tragic, as a toy, Kyros couldn't even cry or feel Scarlett's body.
* NiceGuy: Scaring children away from the Corrida Colosseum is rather harsh, but justified, seeing how violent the fights can get during tournaments. He's also really kind overall, helpful, and as a toy, loves making people laugh.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Thunder Soldier saved Rebecca from kidnappers when she was a child, but because he stepped into a human's house in the process, something forbidden for a toy, he was branded as a criminal and couldn't see Rebecca anymore except sometimes in secret.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Nobody, including Kyros himself, would let him live down the fact that he murdered someone in his youth to avenge his friend. In his entire gladiatorial career, people kept booing him in spite of his huge victory streak.
* OneManArmy: When he was an army commander, Kyros defeated an entire pirate crew all by himself to protect Scarlett, who then [[RescueRomance fell in love with him]].
* PapaWolf: In the past, Kyros punched a playground bully for harming Rebecca and, of course, he saved her from more violent dangers, including a pack of wild dogs and a pair of kidnappers. Diamante exploits this using cowardly tactics and targeting Rebecca so that Kyros would be forced to protect her and unable to attack him.
* ParentalSubstitute: Subverted. Thunder Soldier took care of Rebecca after she lost her parents at an early age and taught her how to fight. However, it's later revealed he's actually her real father turned into a toy but Rebecca has no way of knowing that. He gets quite stricken when she tells him that he isn't her father, but doesn't reply.
* PhlebotinumRebel: As the result of being the first toy created by Sugar, Thunder Soldier retains his free will and organizes a rebellion to dethrone Doflamingo.
* RedBaron: "Thunder Soldier" is actually an alias he took after becoming a toy. His real name is actually Kyros.
* RescueRomance: Scarlett initially hated Kyros, but grew to love him after he saved her from pirates who had kidnapped her and began acting much nicer to him. After a while, they got married in secret to live a quiet life together.
* RetiredBadass: Kyros retires twice from a life of fighting. After a career as the champion of the Corrida Colosseum and then army commander, Kyros secretly married Scarlett, the heir to the Riku royal family, and the two went to live in a small house in the countryside and had a daughter, Rebecca. However, Doflamingo's rise to power and Scarlett's assassination forced Kyros to get back into action and lead the resistance against Doflamingo. After the Straw Hats end Doflamingo's reign, Kyros retires once again in the same house he lived in with Scarlett, this time with his daughter.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: The two murders he committed as a teenager were done out of vengeance, as the victims had previously killed his friend. As he grows older he comes to deeply regret these actions, believing that murder is unjustifiable regardless of motivation. Notably, he ''isn't'' motivated by vengeance when fighting Diamante--the man who murdered Scarlett. Kyros makes it clear during their battle that he's primarily fighting out of [[PapaWolf a desire to protect his daughter]].
* RollerbladeGood: His only toy leg has a rollerblade to aid in his movement. It helps him into making quick attacks.
* RuggedScar: Kyros has a single scar on his forehead, the only one he received in his gladiatoral career, which shows that he's a tough and experienced fighter.
* SecretRelationship: Scarlett faked her death and married Kyros in secret due to the scandal that would be created by them being together, since she's a princess while he's a former criminal. Subverted because it's revealed that the citizens figured it out quickly, but pretended otherwise out of respect for the couple and their reasons.
* SelfDeprecation: One of his defining traits is the low self-esteem he has due to his past as a violent thug when he was 15 and his gladiator career, during which he killed a lot of people. Because his hands are tainted with blood, he doesn't consider himself worthy of affection and even refuses to touch Rebecca as an infant, claiming his hands are too dirty for something this pure. When Rebecca expresses her desire to live with him, Kyros objects, until Rebecca embraces him with an hug and Kyros cries tears of joy.
* SenseLossSadness: Thunder Solider considers not being able to feel the warmth of the people he touches (especially that of his dying wife) to be a painful curse. When he's a human again and he's finally able to feel the warmth of his daughter's hand at the end of the arc, he cries out of joy and relief.
* ShroudedInMyth: Justified. Kyros has a bronze statue in the Dressrosa Colosseum which describes him as the best gladiator who ever fought there, with a winning streak of three thousand, but nobody knows anything else about him. This is because Kyros was turned into a toy by Sugar, and one of the side effects of her power is that everyone forgets about the people who become toys.
* SkywardScream: Having become a toy that can't feel the touch or cry and, when Scarlett died in his arms without remembering him, all that Kyros could do was scream at the sky.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Since he retained his free will after becoming a LivingToy, he manages not just to train and take care of Rebecca, but to organize a rebellion with the Tontatta against Doflamingo, which helps the Straw Hats to destroy the Smile Factory and knock out Sugar. The latter even turns every living toy back to their original form and brings back everyone's memory, revealing Doflamingo's terrible actions against his people.
* SympatheticMurderer: When he was only 15 years old, Kyros murdered a couple of people to avenge his friend but, not knowing the whole story, the guards arrested him and forced him to fight as a gladiator. Years later, he went to his friends' graves and regretted what he did, wishing that people would forget that he was a murderer.
* TearsFromAStone: When Scarlett died in his arms, being a toy, he was physically unable to cry but the raindrops on his face fell like tears, visually showing the emotion he was feeling.
* TearsOfJoy: Every time he cries he's extremely happy, such as when his daughter is born, when Doflamingo is defeated (as he's relieved that the ten year tyranny has finally ended) and in the culmination of his and Rebecca's character arcs: when his daughter tells him she doesn't care about his criminal record and gives up her princess status so they can live together.
* TheseHandsHaveKilled: The main source of Kyros's angst is the murder he commited as a teenager, even if it was to avenge his friends, that made him hated by everyone. Kyros never forgives himself for his actions and believes himself to be so impure that he doesn't even want to touch and spoil his daughter with his dirty hands.
* TrainingThePeacefulVillagers: Downplayed. Thunder Soldier realized he couldn't protect Rebecca forever given his fragile tin body, so he trained her but only to defend herself and dodge attacks, while he didn't teach her anything that could kill others.
* TwoAliasesOneCharacter: Thunder Soldier and Kyros are introduced, respectively, as a criminal toy who wants to remove Doflamingo from the throne and as the best gladiator to ever fight in the Corrida Colosseum. In chapter 739, it's not only revealed that Kyros was turned into a toy and took the alias of Thunder Soldier, but that he's also Rebecca's father and King Riku's son-in-law.
* UnableToCry: Thunder Soldier is more than willing to cry when he sees Rebecca crying herself, but is physically unable to. So when he finally return to being a human again and gets the chance to cry again after Doflamingo is defeated, he grasps it with both hands.
* UnPerson: Like any other victims of Sugar's toy morphing, nobody remembers his real persona anymore and he can't reveal his true identity to anyone, otherwise he would be thrown into the scrap heap. Therefore, he takes care of Rebecca without the latter recognizing him as her father.
* UnstoppableRage: Although subtle, Kyros is visibly angry at the sight of Diamante and gets even angrier when the latter targets Rebecca with dirty tactics. With sheer rage, Kyros resists everything Diamante throws at him and then strikes him down with a single swing.
* WasOnceAMan: Just like every other toy in Dressrosa, he used to be a human but Sugar transformed him into a toy and everyone forgot about him. Fortunately, he, along with all the other toys, regain their human forms when Usopp knocks Sugar out.
* YouAreNotAlone: [[TheseHandsHaveKilled Due to his past]], he tries to break ties with Rebecca at the end of the arc. She doesn't have any of it and declares that he is her father no matter what.
* YourHeadASplode: Defied. Gladius grabs Thunder Soldier and inflates his head to make it explode, but Luffy stops him just in time.

!!!Tontatta Tribe
[[folder:In General]]
A hidden tribe of Dwarves that live on the island Green Bit just off of Dressrosa. Being so small they fit in someone's palm yet faster than the eye can see, they can remain unseen by the people of Dressrosa and are believed to be fairies. They are lead by Gancho and their warrior Leo. Despite their freakish strength, the Dwarves are incredibly gullible and the Donquixote Pirates have used that to exploit some of them as well as captured their Princess Mansherry. Thus their comrades are working to rebel against Doflamingo.
----
* BadassAdorable: Cute little people capable of beating up characters several times their size with their SuperSpeed and SuperStrength.
* BigDamnHeroes: They all hold the Marines back in Chapter 798 from trying to capture the fleeing pirates.
* ElmuhFuddSyndwome: They speak like this in the English version of the manga.
* TheFairFolk: They are regarded as fairies and known for stealing people's belongings.
* GreenThumb: Green Bit's lushness is due to their nigh-supernatural ability to tend any plant they come across, and it's that very skill that has them enslaved to grow SMILE trees.
* GullibleLemmings: Their [[GangOfHats hats]]. Each of them is very gullible, and believes everything they hear, be it from an ally or a foe. Of course, this means Usopp has the time of his life with them. It's also DeconstructedTrope as their naive nature can be exploited by enemies in order to reveal secret info.
* {{Lilliputians}}: They're ''tiny'' humanoids with pointy noses and bushy tails. They even tie Nico Robin just like the Lilliputians did to Gulliver.
* MeaningfulName: Tonta is the Spanish, Italian, and Catalan female term for 'fool'. And these dwarves happen to be very gullible. They not only believed one of ''Usopp's'' lies, but the dwarves that are enslaved in Doflamingo's SMILE factory think they're making medicine for the imprisoned Mansherry.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Despite their child-like appearance and behavior, Leo, Kabu, and Inhel have been around since Viola and Scarlett's childhood, indicating that Dwarves have longevity.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: These little people are strong enough to toss an ordinary human around like a rag doll...problem is, their main enemies, the Donquixote Family, are run by humans that are anything ''but'' normal.
* PeeveGoblins: If an item goes missing and you don't notice until later, the Tontatta Tribe did it.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: Despite being small enough to fit in your hands they are strong enough to smash concrete with their fists. So you can forget about the [[PersonOfMassDestruction city block and the architecture occupying it.]]
* ShroudedInMyth: Invoked -- as an apology for the oppression of their tribe, the first King of the Riku Dynasty (about 800 years ago) allowed them to steal anything they want from the kingdom and he'd label them as "fairy's hijinks". Said myth continues to the present day.
* TailSlap: They can do a technique called "Tail Hammer" that is strong enough to knock down a grown man.
* ThanksForTheMammaries: When they're investigating Robin for hidden items, they go so far as to dive into her mini dress. Later on, Gancho somehow managed to hide in between her breasts, without her or Usopp noticing until he speaks.
* ThisMeansWar: They were overjoyed when they learned that [[spoiler: Doflamingo's resigned from being king. But when they learned that the information was false]], this drives them to finally rebel against Doflamingo and go to war against him.
%%* UndyingLoyalty: To Thunder Soldier, their "captain" in their mission.

The princess of the Tontatta, the Dwarf tribe that live on Green Bit, next to Dressrosa. She was captured by Doflamingo because of her healing and restoration abilities granted by the Heal-Heal Fruit (''Chiyu Chiyu no Mi''), which made her an important asset for Doflamingo's operations, and is kept hostage to force the Tontattas to work for them.

* LovedByAll: Mansherry is so sweet and nice that all of the tontattas adore her, except Leo, and those who meet her are quickly captured by her adorable appearance and personality. Her popularity is exploited by the Donquixote Pirates, who kidnapped her and tell the tontattas she's ill and can be healed only with the SMILES, forcing the tontattas to work for them.
* NiceGirl: Contrary to what Leo believes, she's actually a very kind and compassionate princess.
* PersonalityPower: Mansherry is one of the nicest characters in the series, has been described as nice to everyone (except Leo) and has the power to heal people and non-living beings.
* PrincessClassic: Even more than Shirahoshi. She's unapologetically nice, feminine and caring, coming complete with healing powers. The only exception to this is her {{Tsundere}} tendencies, and that's only around Leo.
* SacrificialRevivalSpell: Somewhat: She can turn donated blood into dandelion-like balls of healing. [[spoiler:This also makes the donators becoming easily weakened if done too much on each person.]]
* ShoulderTeammate: After befriending Rebecca at the end of the Dressrosa arc, she's seen riding on her shoulder.
* SwissArmyTears: One way in which Mansherry's Heal-Heal Fruit powers can be applied. Once Giolla realizes this, she starts hurting Mansherry to invoke this trope on the defeated Doflamingo officers.
* {{Tsundere}}:
** When Mansherry first appears in person, her personality doesn't match the "bitter, selfish, cruel, spoiled, and ill-tempered" description she was given earlier. She's actually very sweet, to the point of inducing CutenessProximity in villains and refuses to help Giolla revive the Officers. Then the first thing Leo says to her after catching her in a BridalCarry is she's gained weight, earning him a punch to the face and Kabu thinking how some things never change.
** The next chapter makes it clear she's a "Sweet" type, being deredere to everyone else only really showing her Tsuntsun side to Leo out of frustration to his [[ObliviousToLove obliviousness]].
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: Turns out Mansherry wasn't imprisoned in the SMILE factory. Instead, she was in the royal palace.

!Dressrosa
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/op_dressrosa.png]]
An island within the New World and one of the Twenty Kingdoms of the World Government. The country is famed for its Colosseum, flower fields, food, living toys, and passionate women. There is also the myth of "fairies" that live in the country and take people's belongings. Dressrosa was previously ruled by the Riku Family until they were overthrown by the current king, [[Characters/OnePieceDonquixoteDoflamingo Donquixote Doflamingo]].
After [[Characters/OnePieceMonkeyDLuffy Monkey D. Luffy]] defeats Doflamingo, the Riku Family reclaim the throne.
----
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:In General]]
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: Dressrosa is a mix of Spain and Italy, especially the former, as seen in several details. The typical dishes ate by Luffy and co. include paella and pasta, there is a giant arena called Corrida Colosseum, complete with bull-like fishes, and the architecture of the country resembles that of Barcelona.

!!King Riku Doldo III
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MasashiHirose (1st voice), Creator/BanjoGinga (2nd voice) (JP), Mark Oristano (EN)
!!!'''Age:''' 60
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 706 (Manga), Episode 636 (Anime)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/riku_dold_iii_anime.png]]
->''"I did my best to be a good man, if I could only survive by ending a life, I would rather chose death of my own free will."''
A mysterious gladiator who joined the Dressrosa tournament at Corrida Colosseum. Later he turns out to be the former King of Dressrosa in disguise.
----
* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Riku was a beloved king who helped the other countries, protected his people, and his family managed to avoid going into war ever since they took charge of Dressrosa.
* AccentAdaptation: He is given a Latin American Spanish accent in the Funimation dub.
* AintTooProudToBeg: Riku got on his hands and knees and begs for his people, on a Visual Transponder Snail, to give them their fortune to pay Doflamingo's fee.
* BerserkerTears: As he's manipulated by Doflamingo into killing his own people, he's visibly crying.
* CoolOldGuy: Visibly looking old, but still manages to be a fierce fighter in the Colosseum.
* DotingParent: He really loves his granddaughter, to the point that he was shown crying ManlyTears in a flashback to her birth.
* FallGuy: He became one for Doflamingo, who used his strings to literally puppet him into attacking and killing his people so that Doflamingo can "save" the populace and become their new "good" king.
* TheGoodKing: His country may have been poor, but it was thriving and his people loved him.
* HatedByAll: After the incident that Doflamingo caused, he and his family were ridiculed and laughed at. After discovering Doflamingo's atrocities, the Dressrosan people start trusting him again.
* MyGreatestFailure: Regards his slaughter of the Dressrosan citizens as this, even though it was Doflamingo who was controlling him to murder them. This affected him so much he had nightmares of that night every day, and refused to take the throne even after Doflamingo was finally defeated. Elizabello and the people of Dressrosa convince him otherwise.
* NerfArm: Ricky fights with only a blunt sword, and knocks people out with the hilt rather than hit them conventionally.
* RousingSpeech: Delivers one in Chapter 785; he announced to his people that there's still hope that they can escape the nightmare that is coming down on them all, that they have a lot of great warriors to thank and Luffy in particular to put faith on, and to keep running and surviving with the last of their strengths.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He invokes this once during the battle in Dressrosa, saying that since he (feels like he) is no longer endangered, he's going down from the plateau he's on, trying to be useful to his people. Even before that, he's the king who really cares about peace and welfare of his country. He's also a trained Colosseum fighter.
* ShutUpHannibal: When Pica taunts him about how much of a bad king he was and how his pacifistic ways lead to his kingdom's downfall, he retaliates by saying that a country that is built on war and violence would have no future, and he would choose death rather than murdering people even if it may keep him alive. Although he does admit his own helplessness and says that he's not going to take the throne again.
* TearsOfJoy:
** He cried these when his granddaughter was born.
** In the present, he cries these again when [[spoiler:Doflamingo is defeated.]]
* TechnicalPacifist: Somewhat. He's okay with fighting as a sport in the Colosseum(and he has done so himself), but he really values peace, and has worked so hard for it that his kingdom has never experienced war for a long time.

[[folder:Scarlett]]
!!Scarlett
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/WakanaYamazaki (JP), Gloria Benavides (EN)
!!!'''Age:''' 25
[[quoteright:165:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scarlett_anime.png]]
Scarlett was former Crowned Princess of Dressrosa, Kyros's wife, Rebecca's mother, and Viola's older sister. She was killed when her daughter was only a child.
----
* BigSisterInstinct: When she was still under the belief that Kyros was a dangerous murderer, she warned him to stay away from Viola.
* BodyguardCrush: Kyros was assigned as her and Viola's bodyguard after his release from the Colosseum. Scarlett was initially distrustful of him due to his criminal past, but that quickly changed when he saved her from pirates who had kidnapped her.
* DefrostingIceQueen: When they first met, Scarlett was skeptical over Kyros, seeing him only as a murderer. But, when he valiantly saved her from kidnappers, she changed her mind and eventually fell in love with him.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: In her husband's arms, in fact. However, since he had been turned into a toy by Sugar, she died without recognizing him. The poor man was devastated by this.
* EverybodyKnewAlready: Turns out, the adults of Dressrosa knew how Scarlett faked her death and have been living with Kyros ever since.
* FakingTheDead: She faked death by illness so that she could marry Kyros, though her family was in on the charade. And as later revealed, it didn't take long for the citizens to catch on to the truth either, though they kept their mouths shut out of respect.
* HappilyMarried: She had a mutual loving marriage with Kyros while she was alive.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: The Tiny Girl (petite, slender woman) to Kyros' Huge Guy (a muscular {{Hunk}}).
* TheLostLenore: To Kyros, as he still loves and mourns her in the present dearly.
* MamaBear: Scarlett did everything in her power to protect her daughter from the violence in Dressrosa.
* MeaningfulName: "Scarlett" can be another term for red. And she had reddish-pink hair.
* MissingMom: To Rebecca, as she was murdered when her daughter was a child.
* NiceGirl: She was known as a caring, sweet person by her subjects and close loved ones.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted; she shares her name with the gorilla from Shiki's pirate crew (albeit the gorilla's name is spelled "Scarlet", with one "t").
* RescueRomance: Scarlett began to see Kyros in a new (and romantic) light after he saved her.
* SecretRelationship: She and Kyros [[FakingTheDead faked her death]] and married in secret due to the scandal that would be created of them being together. It didn't technically stay secret for long, since the citizens soon found out about the truth anyway, but they decided to pretend they didn't know out of respect.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Looks exactly like her daughter with the only difference being hair color.
* ThroughHisStomach: She started making handmade bentos for Kyros after falling in love with him.
* UptownGirl: She (a princess) fell in love with Kyros (an ex-criminal turned soldier).

[[folder:Viola]]
!!Viola
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MieSonozaki (JP), Creator/CristinaValenzuela (EN)
!!!'''Age:''' 29
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 703 (Manga), Episode 632 (Anime)
!!!'''Devil Fruit:''' [[PerceptionFilter Glare-Glare Fruit]]
[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/viola_anime.png]]
A beautiful dancer from Dressrosa, who Sanji met shortly after the crew arrived on the island. She has eaten the Glare-Glare Fruit (''Giro Giro no Mi''), a Devil Fruit that allows her to see through people, both [[XRayVision literally]] and [[LivingLieDetector figuratively]]. But there's more to her than what she looks like...
-----
* AccentAdaptation: She is given a Latin American Spanish accent in the Funimation dub.
* ActionGirl: She's good enough at fighting to be a ranked lieutenant of the Donquixote Family. [[spoiler:Thankfully for the heroes and especially Sanji, she defects from them quite quickly into the Dressrosa Arc.]]
* ArchEnemy: Hates Doflamingo just as much as every member of her family. First [[spoiler:he ransacked her home]], then he [[spoiler:destroyed her family's name]], then [[spoiler:his thugs murdered her sister]], and then he forced her [[spoiler:to work for him as an assassin]] in exchange for her father's life. When she sees the best chance of taking him down ''in years'', she doesn't hesitate in betraying the Donquixote Family in order to take that chance.
* CombatStilettos: She wears them and isn't afraid to use them as weapons.
* CoolAunt: [[spoiler:To Rebecca. Viola was caring for her niece since the latter was a toddler and supported her decision to live with Kyros.]]
* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:She loses pretty badly to Doflamingo even though he was barely still standing from fighting Luffy and she was 100%. However, seeing as how he's pretty much an implacable monster, it's understandable. Also, on the flip end, she delivered a Curb Stomp to Sanji earlier on ([[WouldntHitAGirl though for obvious reasons on his part]]).]]
* DanceBattler: She incorporates dancing into her fighting style.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:Doflamingo tore her family apart and she was forced to work alongside him]].
* DatingCatwoman: [[http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/SBS_Volume_83#Chapter_833.2C_Page_118 In an SBS segment]], Oda heavily implies that she once had a sexual relationship with Doflamingo, the same man who had her sister murdered, overthrew [[TheGoodKing her father]], and forced her to work as an assassin in exchange for her father's life, but couldn't be brought up in the story proper because the target audience is so young.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Violet was ''absolutely crucial'' to Doflamingo's scheme to defeat the Straw Hat-Law Alliance, and her defection wasn't even considered by Doflamingo's higher ups and thus has thrown a huge wrench into Doflamingo's plans... And now they can't catch her, because Violet's Devil Fruit allows her to literally see them coming from miles away, ''and'' she can read their minds to see their revised plans, allowing her to stay ahead of them.
* DirtyMindReading: Accidentally, when she read Sanji's mind and found out what his mind was mostly filled with.
* DoesNotLikeMen: Nowhere near Hancock's level, but she has great cynicism towards men, mostly because she has often been lied to. She seems to make an exception for Sanji after he tells her he'd never doubt a woman's tears.
* DrivenToSuicide: After Diamante informed her that he killed Scarlett, it's strongly implied Viola was going to commit suicide after being forced into Donquixote's servitude and losing her only free relative, but Tank Lepanto stopped her, promising to protect her throughout her ordeal.
* FallenPrincess: She's a former princess. [[spoiler:She actually would've eventually been a Badass Queen since her older sister forfeited the claim to their father's throne by faking her death. Unfortunately, Doflamingo killed her sister for ''real'' some time later ''and'' took the throne. After Doflamingo is defeated, she regains her status as princess. And later becomes heir to Dressrosa again as Rebecca abdicated her position to live with her father.]]
* FemmeFatale: Maintained this facade as a member of the Donquixote Pirates, though Sanji easily sees through it.
* GoodAllAlong: Turns out that she made a deal with Doflamingo to [[spoiler:serve him in exchange for her father's life]].
* HeelFaceTurn: Because of Sanji's genuine belief in her and her tears, she turns against the Doflamingo family.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: She may be an assassin, and [[WomanScorned doesn't take kindly to men doing her wrong]], but she is unwillingly working for Doflamingo, and she's actually a rather nice young woman. Sanji sees through her facade, causing her HeelFaceTurn.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: In conjunction with her dance moves, she fights with her pointed stilettos and a knife hidden in her hair decorations.
* KickChick: She likes kicking.
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Her gown doesn't stop her from fighting.
* LadyOfWar: She's able to hold her own in battle and is quite elegant in doing so.
* LivingLieDetector: She can read other people's minds, allowing her to easily see through any lies.
* LostInTranslation: The reason why she can turn her tears into whales is due to a Japanese pun -- the word "Mekujira" (literally Eye Whale) which stands for "eye's corner".
* MagicalEye: Her Devil Fruit powers basically turns her eyes into this.
* MeaningfulName: Her name can either be a nod to "ultraviolets" (which is often used to see things normally invisible to the human eye) or to Violet Gibson, the woman who tried to assassinate Benito Mussolini.
* TheMole: [[spoiler: She only agreed to work with Doflamingo in exchange of keeping her father alive; once she manages to find outside help (Straw Hats in this case) she works against her employer.]]
* MrExposition: Female version. After her HeelFaceTurn, she becomes this throughout the rest of the Dressrosa Arc, using her powers to explain the ongoings of the country to her allies.
* MsFanservice: She is introduced as a dancing girl and her first real act is to essentially seduce Sanji.
* PerceptionFilter: By holding her hands into a goggle shape and putting them over her eyes, she can "see intently" the different nature of the world and the people in it. Granted, it looks rather silly, but it's effective as hell.
* PintSizedKid: Unusually [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in the flashback to when she was 10 years old. Kids in One Piece are usually depicted as being cartoonishly toddler sized, but for whatever reason, Viola was drawn with a much more realistic height at that age. Compare the 10 year old Viola [[http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Viola?file=Viola_at_Age_10.png here]] to a more typical One Piece 10 year old [[http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Sabo?file=Dragon_Saves_Sabo.png here]].
* TheReveal: Violet's true name is [[spoiler:Viola]], and she is [[spoiler:the daughter of King Riku Dold III]], making her [[spoiler:a member of the Riku royal family, a princess, and the aunt of Rebecca]]. She's also the reason why [[spoiler:her father is still alive]]. Her Devil Fruit abilities interested Doflamingo, so she was able to [[spoiler:save her father's life in return for service to the Donquixote family.]]
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She is an assassin and [[spoiler:helps the Straw Hats defeat Doflamingo]].
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem:[[spoiler: Viola uses her own connection with her old acquaintance who is part of the World Government against Doflamingo]].
* SuperSenses: Her Devil Fruit also allows her to have different "viewpoints", one of which is a birds-eye view which spans 40 kilometers, or roughly 24.85 miles. This means she can observe anything on and near the island (which, to put into perspective, is almost [[HyperAwareness the same range as Eneru's Observation Haki]] pre-timeskip).
* SwissArmyTears: They can ''turn into whales and be used as projectiles''.
* TargetSpotter: When [[spoiler:Usopp]] is going to snipe [[spoiler:Sugar]] across a mountain range, Violet acts as this to him. Her eye powers are very much helpful in determining the target's exact location.
* TearsOfJoy: When [[spoiler:Sugar is knocked out and everyone returns to human, Viola regains her memories of Kyros. Cue the young woman crying tears of joy at seeing her brother-in-law again, and realizing why the Thunder Soldier had watched over Rebecca all this time]].
* {{Telepathy}}: The mind-reading type. She can also make other people read ''her'' memories.
* WhenSheSmiles: Like Robin, she actually smiles relatively often, but her genuine smiles make her look really cute.
* XRayVision: One of the powers granted by her Devil Fruit. She can see through people's clothes and skin easily.

[[folder:"The Undefeated Woman" Rebecca]]
!!"The Undefeated Woman" Rebecca
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Music/MegumiHayashibara (JP), Creator/ChristineMarieCabanos (EN)
!!!'''Age:''' 16
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 704 (Manga) Episode 633 (Anime)
[[quoteright:230:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rebecca_anime.png]]
[[caption-width-right:230:[[labelnote:Click here to see her as a Lady-in-waiting.]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rebecca_anime_infobox.png]][[/labelnote]]
A prideful female warrior who has joined the Dressrosa tournament at Corrida Colosseum, with intentions of winning the Flame-Flame Fruit and killing Doflamingo. In the end, she didn't succeed, but she did help the others. Like Violet, Rebecca's past has personal ties with the royal family and those connected with her.
-----
* AccentAdaptation: She is given a Latin American Spanish accent in the Funimation dub.
* AdaptationalCurves: The anime has conspicuously enlarged her breasts.
* AerithAndBob: A mild case with her and her family's names. "Rebecca" and "Scarlett" are fairly common English/American names[[note]]the former has roots in Hebrew and Arab Peninsula[[/note]], but her aunt is "Viola" (named after the instrument, but typically an Italian female first name when given as a name), her father "Kyros" (a Greek name), her grandfather "Dold", and the entire family's name is Riku (Finnish/Japanese).
* BadassAdorable: She's a very cute young girl, especially when she softens up near Luffy. She's also, despite her aversion to fighting, skilled enough to defeat and survive against many powerful and blood-thirsty opponents in the Corrida Colosseum.
* BadassPacifist: She's the first character seen with a totally Observation Haki-based fighting style, and thus fights by ''dodging'' her opponents in creative ways that result in them taking out themselves or each other. [[spoiler:[[ChekhovsSkill This ability makes her]] [[TacticalRockPaperScissors the perfect counter]] to the rampaging Cavendish, as she's just fast enough to take a non-fatal blow to her helmet while everyone else gets cut down, winning her the D-Block round.]]
* BareYourMidriff: Given what she's wearing...at Corrida Colosseum.
* BraidsOfAction: Under her helmet.
* ChainmailBikini: Almost literally: she wears nothing but a paludamentum (mantle), helmet, greaves and bracers. Her body armor consists of scaled brassiers and loincloth.
* CombatClairvoyance: Is hinted to have Observation Haki.
* CommonalityConnection: She quickly bonds with Vivi, Coby, Shirahoshi, and Dalton over their shared friendship with Luffy.
* CoolHelmet: Likes to wear one in combat. It actually saved her life during the D-Block round.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Her fighting style is extremely useful in tournament matches, during which she can trick opponents into falling out of the ring, using their strength against them and her speed to her advantage. However, because her fighting style lacks any proper ''attacks'', it is completely inadapted to regular fights.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: She lived on the point of starvation with her mother, then [[spoiler:her mother was killed and she too was hunted. Only the one-legged toy soldier was her friend as they fought to survive under Doflamingo's rule.]]
* DramaticIrony: When the Thunder Soldier comes to her and dissuades her from participating in the tournament (and calling her "not an adult despite 16 already"), she understandably gets enraged, stating that they cannot wait any longer since everyone is losing hope, deriding the statue of Kyros as nothing but a fictional, idealized soldier that represents the hope that the convict gladiators may one day escape captivity, and then says that [[YoureNotMyFather he isn't even her real father]], but just a one-legged toy, which visibly hurts them both. [[spoiler:The irony being that Thunder Soldier is actually Kyros -- ''and her biological father''. We don't learn the former until the end of the chapter, but the point still stands.]]
* DeadlyDodging: Her main method of combat in the Colosseum is by dodging her enemies' attacks and leave them helpless from the recovery to strike back.
* EasilyForgiven: She tries to kill Luffy, but he shrugs it off because she didn't do it out of malice but rather desperation, her attempt was weak-willed, she was extremely outmatched, and she brought him lunch.
* FauxActionGirl: Rebecca has skill, to be sure, but the title of the "Undefeated Woman" results from foes that she can outmaneuver and knock out of the ring. When forced into a situation where she actually has to attack, her performance is lackluster. Justified in that because Scarlett didn't want Rebecca to fight, the Thunder Soldier taught her how to ''defend herself'' as opposed to attacking directly. Also, she's really just a civilian being forced into fights above her level, which is impressive when compared to the rest of the commonfolk, who have walked away maimed, helpless, or not at all.
* FragileSpeedster: She's clearly not as tough as the likes of Luffy or the other competitors, but she's very fast, using that advantage to get them to take each other and themselves out without ever having to strike back. [[spoiler:She's even fast enough to avoid being hit too hard by Hakuba's attacks, granting her victory in her block.]]
* GenerationXerox: Just like her mother [[spoiler:she threw away her status as crown princess so she could live with Kyros. Riku even lampshades it.]]
* HeroicBSOD: She goes through one when [[spoiler:she realizes that Diamante killed her mother, Scarlett]].
* HiddenDepths: Rebecca seems to have a mysterious past involving Spartan, Thunderous Soldier of Rage, and Doflamingo. To a lesser extent, with Kyros (a legendary combatant) and Ricky as well. [[spoiler:It's revealed that she's a princess of the royal family, Ricky being King Riku (her grandfather), and the Soldier being her father, Kyros, in toy form. And Doflamingo is the one who toppled her grandfather and radically changed Dressrosa into what it is now.]]
* ImNotHungry: Because [[spoiler:her mother died trying to get food for her]].
* InelegantBlubbering: When Luffy shows up to save her [[spoiler:from killing Violet under Doflamingo's control]], she is an understandably very messy crier. Also when she [[spoiler:convinces Kyros to stay as her father despite his guilt]], to the point that mucus is dripping over her mouth.
* LadyInWaiting: She's serving as this to her aunt, as they're preparing to attend the Reverie. [[spoiler:Considering Rebecca herself forfeited her title as princess to live with her father.]]
* TheLawOfDiminishingDefensiveEffort: Inverted (change "defensive" to "offensive") -- she usually doesn't attack much on her own (outside of CounterAttack), but she starts to charge at Diamante. This change of strategy is noted by the commentator.
* LukeIAmYourFather:
** Unbeknownst to her, the Thunder Soldier, the toy who raised her as his adoptive daughter, is, in fact, [[spoiler:her ''biological'' father turned into a toy]]. It's stated that the reason Rebecca doesn't know this is because of the amnesia induced by Sugar's power, causing Rebecca to forget all about him as soon as he became a toy. Upon meeting again he decided to withhold the information from her -- probably because toys who attempt to reveal the truth of their identities and their previous human nature are immediately sent to the scrap heap. The aspect of the reveal for the trope is downplayed because he revealed it not to Rebecca, but to the Straw Hats and the Tontatta Tribe.
** Becomes a double doozy when it's revealed -- initially to others, not Rebecca herself -- that the Toy Soldier is ''also'' [[spoiler:the legendary gladiator Kyros, who once fought three thousand straight battles without suffering a single hit]]. Rebecca learns of it after all the toys are transformed back and Rebecca regains the memories about her father.
* MsFanservice: She's a cute girl that fights in the most revealing outfit of the series. She is considered extremely attractive and beautiful by the other gladiators. Plus, the anime makes her more busty.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Rebecca tearfully tells the Thunder Soldier that [[YoureNotMyFather he isn't her father]] when the latter tries to dissuade her from participating in the tournament. She is understandably regretful, knowing that her anger over Doflamingo's false resignation caused her to go too far.
* NerfArm: Like Ricky's sword, hers is also blunt. You see, they're grandpa and granddaughter.
* OhCrap: When she realizes that she went too far during her argument with the Thunder Soldier over her participation in the tournament.
* PluckyGirl: She won't stay long in the Colosseum and honor her mother's wish of not hurting anyone (Thunder Soldier's non-violent training helps too) if she doesn't have that much pluck.
* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: She is actually [[spoiler:the 16 year old daughter of Scarlett and Kyros and the granddaughter of Riku Dold III, therefore being one of the original princesses of Dressrosa.]] And another reason [[spoiler:Doflamingo wants her dead. She loses the "princess" part when she forfeits her title to live with her father at the end of the Dressrosa arc]].
* RedBaron: Aside from the aforementioned "Undefeated Woman" moniker, she's also known as the "Phantom Princess".
* RingOut: This is her main method of disposing of opponents. It's noted that she has never injured any enemy directly because she always does this.
* SinsOfOurFathers: Because her grandfather was the previous king of Dressrosa and everyone resented him, the audiences in the Colosseum are all too happy to ridicule her. That was a FrameUp by Doflamingo, and once the truth is revealed, the people regain respect for the entire Riku family.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her gladiator "armor" is probably the most revealing outfit in the series. The Corrida Colosseum has a weight limit on armor to maximize injuries (and consequently, bloodshed), and Rebecca in particular focuses on speedily outmaneuvering her opponents, but still...
* StrongFamilyResemblance: She [[SheIsAllGrownUp grew up]] to be the spitting image of her late mother Scarlett. It becomes especially jarring when [[spoiler:she regains her title as princess]] and wears an almost identical dress to the one her mom used to wear; you'd almost think Scarlett has come back from the grave. That resemblance even extends to personality, as [[spoiler:both of them threw away their status as princess so they could live with Kyros; a fact Viola and Riku Dold lampshade]].
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: A sixteen-year-old, pink-haired, scantily clad princess who learned pacifism from a mother shot ten years ago who Luffy is falsely accused of kidnapping when she asked to be taken somewhere? Back already, Shirahoshi?
* TearsOfJoy: She lets these out when [[spoiler:she remembers her dad and meets him again, then later when Doflamingo is defeated at last, and a third time when she and Kyros are reunited for good and they decide to live together]].
* ThisIsUnforgivable: When Diamante shoots [[spoiler:Kyros]]'s leg and then makes him get hit by the raining spiky balls, Rebecca is understandably outraged.
* WeakButSkilled: An especially notable case in the series. Because she doesn't want to hurt anyone, she is very weak, but her speed, Observation Haki and skill in making people knock themselves out or lure them into falling out of the ring make up for it, and allows her to survive undefeated in a Colosseum full of powerful and bloodthirsty warriors.
* WingdingEyes: For a brief humorous moment in the Reverie arc, she gets adorable puddle-shaped eyes as Vivi correctly guesses Luffy saved Dressrosa.
* WorthyOpponent: Rebecca seems to feel this way towards Luffy as she said it would be nice if they both progressed to the second round of the tournament.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Well, in the [[ImpossibleHourglassFigure body]], at least. Her face looks believably young, much like Princess Shirahoshi who's the same age (sixteen, for the curious).

* CombatCommentator: His role in the Corrida Colosseum is to serve as a commentator during fights.
* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler: He buys Luffy time by mocking Doflamingo all the while despite knowing what that entails and indeed gets impaled for his trouble. But still keeps spewing vitriol to the bitter end until Luffy re-engages the battle. Thankfully he manages to survive.]]
* InLoveWithYourCarnage: He gets heart-shaped eyes at particularly impressive feats in the Colosseum.
* LargeHamAnnouncer: So much that it's not rare to see the Colosseum's staff workers covering their ears when near him.
* MrExposition: He is the main responsible for explaining the backgrounds and fighting styles of the various participants.
* NonActionGuy: He's not a fighter, but he still [[spoiler: manages to assist Luffy against Doflamingo]].

!!!Corrida Colosseum Tournament Participants
[[folder:In General]]
The various gladiators and other fighters participating in the Corrida Colosseum Tournament to get their hands on the [[PlayingWithFire Flame-Flame Fruit]].
----
* ActionGirl: Rebecca and Acilia can more than hold their own; even more when they're teamed up.
* AnnoyingArrows: When Luffy dodges all of Jean Ango's projectile weapons with Observation Haki, they end up lodged in Chinjao's gut. All this does is make him mad; [[CurbStompBattle bye, Jean]].
* BadassCape: A good number of them wear'em, like Rebecca, Cavendish (though his is a CoatCape), Sai, and Elizabello.
* BalefulPolymorph: The failed contestants gets abducted and turned into [[spoiler:toys by Trebol and Sugar]].
* BearHug: Rolling Logan from D Block crushes two opponents' bones this way, being a huge man.
* BerserkButton: Kelly Funk hates it when somebody [[TheNapoleon makes fun of his height]] to the point that he will continue to beat his opponent even after they're unconscious.
* BigDumbBody: Bobby Funk's entire purpose is just to be possessed by Kelly's powers, because Bobby is ridiculously durable even if he can't fight.
* BigLittleBrother: Bobby is the younger of the Funk Brothers and yet he's the taller one (Kelly's height only reaches Bobby's chest).
* BountyHunter: Jean Ango.
* CondemnedContestant: [[spoiler:It's revealed that every loser in the battle gets dumped underground with broken toys after they're tricked with "medical operation".]]
* CrossCounter: Happens with Ideo and Sai once.
* DeadlyDodging: Luffy effortlessly dodges Jean Ango's thrown weapons... which all fly into Chinjao's gut. He then knocked Ango out of the ring.
* EquippableAlly: Kelly of the Funk Brothers. He has the power of the Jacket-Jacket Fruit (''Jake Jake no Mi''), which turns him into a jacket. Anyone who wears him is possessed by him, giving Kelly all of their abilities.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: While some of them are evil, the big named participants would never [[spoiler: betray Usopp and his friends for freeing them from their toy curse and they attacked the ungrateful participants who would try to capture them.]]
* EvilGenius:
** Dagama seems to amount to this, being a very unpleasant [[TheStrategist strategist]] who is not above cheating his way to victory.
** Later on he proves his strategic prowess in the invasion in Doflamingo's palace where he gathers and commands all of the other combatants to stay on guard to ensure that Luffy can pass safely after they fought Doflamingo's forces with seemingly no cooperation.
* EvilSorcerer: The gladiator Mummy from Block D is introduced as a "Sorcerer". The exact nature of said "sorcery" has yet to be revealed.
* FluffyTamer: As usual for him, Luf-- er, Lucy manages to tame The Fighting Bull.
* FluffyTheTerrible: Lucy nicknames him "[[SublimeRhyme Ucy]]" (a pun for the Japanese word for bull, ''ushi'').
* GlassCannon: Kelly Funk also easily goes down from Boo's Hasshouken punch.
* {{Gonk}}: Dagama again. He also happens to resemble [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Eggman]].
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Kelly Funk's Jacket-Jacket Fruit (where his body unzips and unfurls like a jacket) sounds about as useful as [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable taking photographs]] or [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia rotating your shoulders really fast.]] But when your brother is a StoneWall who can tank Haki-infused attacks, it's ''[[FusionDance very]]'' [[LightningBruiser efficient,]] as poor Boo [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown found out the hard way.]]
* KiManipulation: The Chinjao Family employs Haki, aside from Hasshouken.
* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Kelly, when angered, tends to attack whoever angers him even after they're unconscious.
* KingOfBeasts: The Fighting Lion, one of the fighters of the D Block. Orlumbus easily defeats him, though.
* MadeOfDiamond: Bobby Funk. He took an Armament Haki-imbued axe to the back and stays intact, with the axe's hilt snapped in two in the process.
* MuggingTheMonster: Spartan, the star of the Colosseum, upon seeing Luffy, thought he was a puny runt that didn't belong in the tournament and angrily attacked him. [[CurbStompBattle You can probably guess what happens]].
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Kelly and Bobby Funk are based on actual, famous wrestling brothers Wrestling/TerryFunk and Wrestling/DoryFunkJr.
* OhCrap:
** Jean Ango's expression when Chinjao's about to attack him.
** Bellamy's expression when King Elizabello's about to launch his King Punch.
** Heck, the audience and commentator do this many times. Many unexpected things happen here, after all.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Taken to hilarious extremes when ''all of them'' insist that they will personally kill Doflamingo.
* PyroManiac: Damask is described as this, what with his strange ability to breathe fire.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: Kelly Funk after anyone triggers his BerserkButton.
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: [[spoiler: It seems like the Funk Brothers were aiding Luffy when they gave him directions to a shortcut in the tunnels but it led to a dead end. It turns out they intended to betray Luffy and his allies but Doflamingo's string clone comes along and incapacitates the Funk Brothers which ironically saves Luffy.]]
* StoneWall: Bobby Funk may be a minor character, but he has the intriguing distinction of being the first character seen who can resist Haki with his natural defenses; he's simply that tough.
* ThisMeansWar: Dagama declares this after [[spoiler:he's trapped in the underground with the rest of the tourney losers.]].
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: How Jean Ango fights.
* {{Ungrateful Bastard}}s: At first they all worship [[spoiler:Usopp for freeing them from Sugar's toy powers but once Doflamingo puts a price on his head they all seemingly go after him.]] Seriously guys you couldn't wait ten minutes even? [[spoiler:Turned out that only the no-name ones on-panel went after him. Many named ones were off-panel at the time and later prove to still be loyal, except for the Funk Brothers; and even then, many of those who went after him changed their mind and ended up helping Luffy anyway, thanks to Gatz.]]
* {{Vibroweapon}}: The Chinjao family know a martial art called ''Hasshouken'' that makes their ''fists and kicks'' into vibroweapons that can bypass armor and shields.
* YouShallNotPass: They (well, most of them) all rally together to hold Doflamingo's forces and executives so Luffy (and Cavendish, and Law, and Kyros) can continue to go to Doflamingo's place, courtesy of Dagama. Later he does a personal version of this where, after getting gored by Dellinger, he holds the latter in place and tells Luffy and co to go forward.

!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 704 (Manga) Episode 632 (Anime)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/elizabello_ii_anime.png]]
The king of Prodence Kingdom, and also one of the fighters who joined as a gladiator at the Corrida Colosseum to compete for the Flame-Flame Fruit.
------
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He's a king and a single punch of him can tear down a fortress.
* AwesomeButImpractical: The King Punch is said to be powerful enough to knock down one of the Four Emperors and tear down fortresses, but the hour-long charge time makes it impractical to rely on it in a fight; the only reason he managed to fire it in the Colosseum was because he was being guarded the whole time.
* BadassCape: One commonly used for kings, pretty much.
* BoxingBattler: His fighting preference.
* ChargedAttack: His patented [[MegatonPunch King Punch]] needs roughly an hour of charge time. He can also use it without it being fully charged yet, but it'll get proportionately weaker as a result.
* ChekhovsGun: At one point, when Zoro has difficulty fighting Pica, King Elizabello offers help with his King Punch, but Zoro tells him to save it for later. Later, when Pica in his gigantic stone form is walking towards King Riku, Elizabello thinks it's the right time and prepares to let it out... and Zoro still tells him to hold back a bit. [[spoiler:The King Punch does get used later... as cleanup for Pica's leftover stone body. (He does save everyone on the plateau by doing so, though.)]]
* CoolCrown: He wears a hoop crown.
* CripplingOverspecialization: The King Punch is insanely powerful, but also needs to be charged and Elizabello can't really do any other fighting while charging it. He seems to rely entirely on it, so he's really only useful about once an hour.
* GlassCannon: His King Punch can absolutely wreck havoc in the field, but he has to prepare himself for an hour and he's largely helpless in that state. One barrier punch from Bartolomeo is all that's needed to knock him down, once his guards are taken out.
* LargeAndInCharge: He's pretty big and he's a king.
* MundaneUtility: Elizabello II considers [[spoiler:using his powerful punch to clean up the remains of Pica's massive stone body before they fell on those below]] to be this.
* OddFriendship: He's friends with King Riku Dold III despite him being a pacifist.
* OneHitKill: His speciality. It's said to be sufficient to bring down an ''Emperor'', but he can only use it once per hour and is largely helpless while he's building up the momentum to perform it. He can, however, fire it off early at the cost of reduced power.
* RedBaron: He's known as the "The Fighting King".
* RedBoxingGloves: They're yellow boxing gloves.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He enters the competition to win the Mera Mera no Mi. [[spoiler:And he's one of the many fighters who aid the Straw Hat Pirates in taking down Doflamingo]].
* TopHeavyGuy: His legs are much tinier than his comparatively large body and arms. Makes sense, since he's a boxer.
* TheWorfBarrage: Elizabello's MegatonPunch [[spoiler:knocks out just about everyone in one shot, including Bellamy, who was being built up as a major threat]]. Everyone, that is, except for [[spoiler:Bartolomeo, whose force field [[NoSell no sells]] him before he promptly takes him out with little effort]].

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RikiyaKoyama (JP), Ivan Jasso (EN)
!!!'''Age:''' 34 (Biologically), 44 (Chronologically)

[[caption-width-right:310:[[labelnote:Click here to see his human form.]] https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kyros_anime.png[[/labelnote]]]]
->''"Even toys have things they want to protect. But no tears will fall from these tin eyes..."''
Introduced as a one-legged toy soldier, who is also a criminal in Dressrosa, with a grudge against Doflamingo and plots with the Tontatta to remove him from the throne. He quickly aligns with the Straw Hats and offers to help Franky take down the Smile factory. He also shares a past with Rebecca, having taken care of her after her mother's death and trained her to fight without hurting people.
He's later revealed to actually be Kyros, the legendary champion of the Corrida Colosseum and Rebecca's father, turned into a toy by Sugar. In the past, he used to be a violent criminal, until king Riku talked him into a better person. After saving Scarlett, Riku's eldest daughter, she fell in love with him and the two had a secret marriage, from which Rebecca was born. Unfortunately, it ended in tragedy after Doflamingo usurped the Riku family.
Kyros is a formidable warrior, the best of all Dressrosa, and fights using a sword. He's very loyal to Riku and cares a lot for his daughter, whom he wishes to not take his path as a killer. Kyros is also full of doubts because of his past as a rebellious teen and can't forgive himself for having murdered people.
-----
* AccentAdaptation: Just like Rebecca, he is given a Latin American Spanish accent in the Funimation dub.
* ActionDad: Kyros is the Champion of the Corrida Colosseum as well as Scarlett's husband and Rebecca's father. With the death of his wife at the hands of Diamante, Kyros, while turned into a soldier, dedicated his life to his daughter, raising and training her even if Rebecca doesn't have any memory of him. During the climax of the Dressrosa Arc, Kyros fights Diamante to protect Rebecca and avenge Scarlett.
* AnArmAndALeg: Similar to Literature/TheSteadfastTinSoldier, Thunder Soldier is a toy soldier with just one leg. Ten years befor the events of Dressrosa, he was still a human, Kyros cut off his own leg to rush at Doflamingo, but was touched by Sugar and transformed into a toy, while also forgotten by everyone.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: To give him a better life, and noticing that he's the best gladiator in the history of the Corrida Colosseum, king Riku grants him the position of army commander.
* TheAtoner: Kyros always feels guilty for the murders he commited in the past, not helped by the people who hated him when he was a gladiator, but Riku helped him become a better person and told him to help others to make amends for his mistakes.
* AwesomeMcCoolName: Thunder Soldier is a really cool name that indicate how badass the toy is.
* BadassBoast: When he meets Diamante after many years, Kyros declares himself the wrath of Dressrosa's people before beginning his fight with the pirate.
-->"I am the wrath of this country's people, and I shall take you down!"
* BadassCape: Kyros wears a red cape that makes him more imposing and, with its color, indicates that he can be violent in combat.
* BadassNormal: Kyros has no Devil Fruit powers but is still ''the'' strongest gladiator ever to walk Corrida Colosseum and defeats one of Donquixote's strongest subordinates.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In his youth when he was still a human, no matter how many victories he won in the Colosseum, no would ever let him live it down that he was a murderer. For that he wished people would just simply forget his existence. Then, after building a genuinely happy life for himself, everyone, including the people he loved, forgot his existence thanks to Sugar's Devil Fruit powers, with the added burden of being a toy. The worst part is that he couldn't tell anyone, because he would be tossed into the scrap heap otherwise.
* {{BFS}}: As a human, his main weapon is a sword nearly as large as him, fitting for a skilled gladiator.
* BrokenAce: He's Dressrosa strongest fighter and the best gladiator ever seen in the Corrida Colosseum, but he's also full of regret and self-loathing for his murderous past and considers himself unworthy of having a loving family and a happy life. It didn't help that, when he was a gladiator, the crowd kept hating him for the same reasons.
* ChickMagnet: When he was a royal guard, many ladies swooned for him but he always refused their advances.
* TheComicallySerious: Some of the flashbacks to his and Rebecca's past show him in this light, due to being so nervous around Scarlett and his attempts to cheer Rebecca up.
* CondemnedContestant: Like some RealLife Roman gladiators, he was originally a criminal who was sentenced into the arena. He was given the chance to win his freedom if he could win 100 consecutive wins. Despite having done so, he chose to stay due to the people's hatred for him.
* CurbStompBattle: His fight with Diamante lasts for a while because he tries to protect and prevent Rebecca from soiling her hands. The moment Robin arrives and keeps Rebecca safe, nothing Diamante throws at Kyros works, and the moment the latter gets in range, Diamante goes down in one hit.
* {{Determinator}}: He gets hit by a lot of falling SpikeBallsOfDoom during his fight with Diamante and keeps on going, saying that no real warrior would be intimidated by such attacks, while Diamante looks on in shock.
* DisappearedDad: Played with. Rebecca doesn't have any memories of Kyros, her father, and thus believes herself to have grown up fatherless, not counting [[ParentalSubstitute Thunder Soldier]]. In truth, she lost her memories pf him after he got turned into a toy, the same one that took care of her after her mother died. When Kyros is turned back into a human and Rebecca regains her memories, she bursts into tears at the sudden realization that she always had her father at her side.
* DotingParent: In Rebecca's childhood, Kyros at first refused to touch her, not wanting to soil such a pure angel [[TheseHandsHaveKilled with his dirty hands]], and cried from happiness whenever he played with her. Following Scarlett's death, Kyros, transformed into a toy, .took care of Rebecca as she grew up even if she didn't recognize or even remember him.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: As a teen, Kyros was a criminal who lived on the streets, then became a gladiator but was hated by everyone because of his past crimes. He found some happiness when he became a royal guard and then married Scarlett in secret and had a daughter with her, and, while he kept self-loathing and thinking himself to be unworthy of it, he had an happy life. Unfortunately, when the Donquixote Pirates arrived, he was turned into a toy and forgotten by everyone, including his wife, who got killed shortly after, and his daughter. After enduring and fighting Doflamingo's tyranny for ten years, Luffy ends Doflamingo's rule, Kyros is turned back into a human and gets to live happily with his daughter, who chooses by her own will to stay with him rather than being a princess.
* EveryScarHasAStory: Kyros received a single scar in his fight with king Riku, who was fighting incognito. Upon recognizing his king, Kyros dropped his guard for a moment out of shock and was hit. Afterwards, Riku offers Kyros the chance to become a better person and the position of army commander.
* {{Expy}}: His one-legged toy form is taken directly from the eponymous character in Literature/TheSteadfastTinSoldier.
* FaceOfAThug: Kyros's face is rough and lacks eyebrows, making him look like an evil person. While he's a good person, he was a criminal as a teenager.
* FailureKnight: Thunder Soldier is extremely adamant in his desire to protect Rebecca because, when he was still human, despite being Dressrosa's strongest fighter, he failed to protect his king, who was dethroned, and his wife, who was killed.
* FlawedPrototype: Played with. Thunder Soldier is the first toy Sugar ever created, and one of the few not compelled by a Geas to obey the Family, though only because Sugar didn't start giving orders to the newly transformed toys at the time.
* {{Foil}}: Kyros acts as a contrast to Diamante, who is also his arch-enemy for having killed his wife, Scarlett. Both are champions in the Corrida Colosseum but, while Kyros fights fairly with only his sword, Diamante uses his Devil Fruit to set traps and tricks to win. This is emphasized in their fight, where Diamante keeps Kyros on the edge by using said tricks. After Diamante decides to engage fairly in direct combat, he gets struck down bywith a single strike from Kyros.
* ForcedTransformation: Like all living toys, Thunder Soldier is one of the many victims of Sugar's Hobby-Hobby fruit, although he remains a fearful warrior.
* FormerTeenRebel: Deconstructed. In his early teens, Kyros is a violent misfit who killed people, but King Riku Doldo brings him to a better path. After becoming a better person, Kyros reveals he killed those people to avenge his friend. However, Dressrosa citizens and Kyros himself would never forget his past as a murderer, and for this reason he develops a huge guilt complex that prevents him from leaving his gladiator life and makes him think he's unworthy to be a father or just to hold a baby in his hands.
* FourStarBadass: After fighting Kyros directly in the arena, king Riku granted him the position as Dressrosa army commander. This allowed him to meet Scarlett, the woman he later married.
* GenerationXerox: Like his daughter, Kyros was a gladiator who, despite his incredible skills in the Colosseum, was widely hated by the audience. However, Kyros made sure that Rebecca didn't grew up like him, and taught her how to avoid attack and not hurt anyone.
* GreaterNeedThanMine: When he meets Mansherry, she notes that he's heavily wounded and she wants to heal him, but he replies that there are many other people in Dressrosa that might need it more than he does.
* HandicappedBadass: Even as a one-legged toy, he can still escape the police and get around effortlessly, although his frail tin body does hinder him. When he returns human, still without a leg, he keeps the terrifying power he had when he was a gladiator and Doflamingo gives him a bounty equal to Zoro's.
* HappilyMarried: Despite not feeling worthy of it, Kyros had a mutual loving marriage with Scarlett until she was killed. Scarlett even gave up her royal status just to live with him.
* HeartbrokenBadass: Kyros' wife was killed ten years before the events of the Dressrosa Arc, when the Donquixote Pirates invaded Dressrosa, and he still mourns her death. He finds some peace after he defeats Diamante, the man who killed her, and avenges her.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Albeith a former criminal and gladiator, Kyros main weapon is a classic sword that shows how more heroic he is.
* HiddenDepths:
** Introduced as a criminal toy, he's quickly revealed to know Rebecca from his past, but the latter's tears upon seeing him again and the fact that he himself is unable to cry, imply that their past isn't a pretty one. In truth, he is the legendary gladiator Kyros - who won three thousand straight battles in the Colosseum without suffering a single blow - who married princess Scarlett and had a child together: Rebecca. However, everyone forgot his existence when Sugar turned him into a toy, and Scarlett was killed by one of Doflamingo's pirates. So Kyros was forced to raise Rebecca by himself without telling her who he really was, lest he be tossed on the scrap heap.
** Despite appearing as a strong and brave warrior, Kyros is full of self-deprecation for having killed in his youth, and always considers himself unworthy of everything good he has, from his marriage to his daughter.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Kyros, a very muscular man, married the petite and slender Scarlett. The size difference is very noticeable when they are together.
* IHaveNoIdeaWhatImDoing: When Usopp asks him what the Operation Dressrosa SOP (defeating Sugar of Donquixote Family and supposedly turning every toy back to normal) entails, Thunder Soldiers replies that he doesn't know and only suspects that everything will turn upside down once it happens. Luckily, the plan works, albeith thanks to major luck.
* IOweYouMyLife: Kyros is very devoted to King Riku because he gave him the chance of a better life and amend of his crimes while everyone else hated him.
* ImprobableAge: Kyros became the strongest gladiator in the history of the Corrida Colosseum when he was still in his early twenties and defeated thousands of warriors with much more experience than him without getting hurt once.
* InsecureLoveInterest: When Scarlett fell in love with him, Kyros refused her advances because he believed that, due to his past as a murderer, he wasn't good enough for her.
* ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: While he hates Doflamingo as much as everyone else, Kyros holds a particular grudge for Diamante, one of Doflamingo's top officers who killed his wife. During the climax of the Dressrosa Arc, Kyros confronts Diamante, while also protecting his daughter, and defeats him.
* LifeOrLimbDecision: Downplayed. When Doflamingo was about to kill King Riku, Kyros cut off his chained leg to save his king. Unfortunately, he [[AllForNothing got turned into a toy shortly after]].
* LivingLegend: Kyros is the strongest gladiator in the history of the Corrida Colosseum, holding an undefeated streak of 3000 victories — including fighting a giant and a Fish-man, the latter while underwater — and has a bronze statue to honor his "memory". During his entire career, he was only hit once, and only because he recognized that his latest opponent was King Riku in disguise. He's so strong that Doflamingo gives him a bounty as high as Zoro's. Ironically, when he was turned into a toy, everyone forgot about him and is aware of his existance thanks to his statue in the Corrida Colosseum.
* LivingToys: He is one of many living toys in Dressrosa and the one who gets the most screentime. As a whole, Thunder Soldier/Kyros represents the people who have been turned into toys and forgotten by their loved ones.
* LukeIAmYourFather: After many chapters, it's revealed that Thunder Soldier is Rebecca's biological father, Scarlett's husband, and King Riku's son-in-law, making him a member of the Riku royal family and one of the main targets of the Donquixote family. Rebecca realizes it when Kyros is turned human again and she regains the memories of him, crying out of happiness that her father has always been with her.
* MadeOfIron: During his fight with Diamante, the latter hits Kyros with multiple attacks, including a rain of iron spiky balls, but Kyros endures all of them. Diamante himself remains in disbelief in the face of Kyros's toughness.
* ManlyTears: Kyros is one of the manliest characters in the series, but that doesn't stop him from expressing his emotions. After a decade of Doflamingo's tyranny is brought to an end, Kyros' tears show his relief without removing from his manliness.
* MorphicResonance: Kyros cut off his left leg to free himself and rush at Doflamingo but got turned into a toy soldier that misses its left leg as well, making clear to everyone who he is when he's turned back.
* NervesOfSteel: When he was human, he cut off his own leg without a second thought to have a chance at killing Doflamingo and protect king Riku.
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: Tragically, despite his wife dying in his hands, Kyros was turned into a toy and forgotten by everyone, which meant they couldn't properly say goodbye. To make it even more tragic, as a toy, Kyros couldn't even cry or feel Scarlett's body.
* NiceGuy: Scaring children away from the Corrida Colosseum is rather harsh, but justified, seeing how violent the fights can get during tournaments. He's also really kind overall, helpful, and as a toy, loves making people laugh.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Thunder Soldier saved Rebecca from kidnappers when she was a child, but because he stepped into a human's house in the process, something forbidden for a toy, he was branded as a criminal and couldn't see Rebecca anymore except sometimes in secret.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Nobody, including Kyros himself, would let him live down the fact that he murdered someone in his youth to avenge his friend. In his entire gladiatorial career, people kept booing him in spite of his huge victory streak.
* OneManArmy: When he was an army commander, Kyros defeated an entire pirate crew all by himself to protect Scarlett, who then [[RescueRomance fell in love with him]].
* OutDamnedSpot: Kyros' guilt over his murders never go away, even after he has cleaned his name in the eyes of everyone. As a teen, he became a convict gladiator as punishment and was granted permission to leave after one hundred victories. However, he willingly chose to keep going because he felt that he could never let go of those crimes and the crowd kept booing him. In the present, his mentality still lingers; he feels that he can be the one Dressrosan citizen who can spill out blood when the others love and value peace.
* OverprotectiveDad: He punched a boy for proposing to Rebecca.
* PapaWolf: In the past, Kyros punched a playground bully for harming Rebecca and, of course, he saved her from more violent dangers, including a pack of wild dogs and a pair of kidnappers. Diamante exploits this using cowardly tactics and targeting Rebecca so that Kyros would be forced to protect her and unable to attack him.
* ParentalSubstitute: Subverted. Thunder Soldier took care of Rebecca after she lost her parents at an early age and taught her how to fight. However, it's later revealed he's actually her real father turned into a toy but Rebecca has no way of knowing that. He gets quite stricken when she tells him that he isn't her father, but doesn't reply.
* PhlebotinumRebel: As the result of being the first toy created by Sugar, Thunder Soldier retains his free will and organizes a rebellion to dethrone Doflamingo.
* RedBaron: "Thunder Soldier" is actually an alias he took after becoming a toy. His real name is actually Kyros.
* RescueRomance: Scarlett initially hated Kyros, but grew to love him after he saved her from pirates who had kidnapped her and began acting much nicer to him. After a while, they got married in secret to live a quiet life together.
* RetiredBadass: Kyros retires twice from a life of fighting. After a career as the champion of the Corrida Colosseum and then army commander, Kyros secretly married Scarlett, the heir to the Riku royal family, and the two went to live in a small house in the countryside and had a daughter, Rebecca. However, Doflamingo's rise to power and Scarlett's assassination forced Kyros to get back into action and lead the resistance against Doflamingo. After the Straw Hats end Doflamingo's reign, Kyros retires once again in the same house he lived in with Scarlett, this time with his daughter.
* RollerbladeGood: His only toy leg has a rollerblade to aid in his movement. It helps him into making quick attacks.
* RuggedScar: Kyros has a single scar on his forehead, the only one he received in his gladiatoral career, which shows that he's a tough and experienced fighter.
* SecretRelationship: Scarlett faked her death and married Kyros in secret due to the scandal that would be created by them being together, since she's a princess while he's a former criminal. Subverted because it's revealed that the citizens figured it out quickly, but pretended otherwise out of respect for the couple and their reasons.
* SelfDeprecation: One of his defining traits is the low self-esteem he has due to his past as a violent thug when he was 15 and his gladiator career, during which he killed a lot of people. Because his hands are tainted with blood, he doesn't consider himself worthy of affection and even refuses to touch Rebecca as an infant, claiming his hands are too dirty for something this pure. When Rebecca expresses her desire to live with him, Kyros objects, until Rebecca embraces him with an hug and Kyros cries tears of joy.
* SenseLossSadness: Thunder Solider considers not being able to feel the warmth of the people he touches (especially that of his dying wife) to be a painful curse. When he's a human again and finally able to feel the warmth of his daughter's hand at the end of the arc, he cries out of joy and relief.
* ShroudedInMyth: Justified. Kyros has a bronze statue in the Dressrosa Colosseum which describes him as the best gladiator who ever fought there, with a winning streak of three thousand, but nobody knows anything else about him. This is because Kyros was turned into a toy by Sugar, and one of the side effects of her power is that everyone forgets about the people who become toys.
* SkywardScream: Having become a toy that can't feel the touch or cry and, when Scarlett died in his arms without remembering him, all that Kyros could do was scream at the sky.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Since he retained his free will after becoming a LivingToy, he manages not just to train and take care of Rebecca, but to organize a rebellion with the Tontatta against Doflamingo, which helps the Straw Hats to destroy the Smile Factory and knock out Sugar. The latter even turns every living toy back to their original form and brings back everyone's memory, revealing Doflamingo's terrible actions against his people.
* SympatheticMurderer: When he was only 15 years old, Kyros murdered a couple of people to avenge his friend but, not knowing the whole story, the guards arrested him and forced him to fight as a gladiator. Years later, he went to his friends' graves and regretted what he did, wishing that people would forget that he was a murderer.
* TearsFromAStone: When Scarlett died in his arms, being a toy, he was physically unable to cry but the raindrops on his face fell like tears, visually showing the emotion he was feeling.
* TearsOfJoy: Every time he cries he's extremely happy, such as when his daughter is born, when Doflamingo is defeated (as he's relieved that the ten year tyranny has finally ended) and in the culmination of his and Rebecca's character arcs: when his daughter tells him she doesn't care about his criminal record and gives up her princess status so they can live together.
* TheseHandsHaveKilled: The main source of Kyros's angst is the murder he commited as a teenager, even if it was to avenge his friends, that made him hated by everyone. Kyros never forgives himself for his actions and believes himself to be so impure that he doesn't even want to touch and spoil his daughter with his dirty hands.
* TrainingThePeacefulVillagers: Downplayed. Thunder Soldier realized he couldn't protect Rebecca forever given his fragile tin body, so he trained her but only to defend herself and dodge attacks, while he didn't teach her anything that could kill others.
* TwoAliasesOneCharacter: Thunder Soldier and Kyros are introduced, respectively, as a criminal toy who wants to remove Doflamingo from the throne and as the best gladiator to ever fight in the Corrida Colosseum. In chapter 739, it's not only revealed that Kyros was turned into a toy and took the alias of Thunder Soldier, but that he's also Rebecca's father and King Riku's son-in-law.
* UnableToCry: Thunder Soldier is more than willing to cry when he sees Rebecca crying herself, but is physically unable to. So when he finally return to being a human again and gets the chance to cry again after Doflamingo is defeated, he grasps it with both hands.
* UnPerson: Like any other victims of Sugar's toy morphing, nobody remembers his real persona anymore and he can't reveal his true identity to anyone, otherwise he would be thrown into the scrap heap. Therefore, he takes care of Rebecca without the latter recognizing him as her father.
* UnstoppableRage: Although subtle, Kyros is visibly angry at the sight of Diamante and gets even angrier when the latter targets Rebecca with dirty tactics. With sheer rage, Kyros resists everything Diamante throws at him and then strikes him down with a single swing.
* WasOnceAMan: Just like every other toy in Dressrosa, he used to be a human but Sugar transformed into a toy and everyone forgot about him. Fortunately, he, along with all the other toys, regain their human forms when Usopp knocks Sugar out.
* YourHeadASplode: Defied. Gladius grabs Thunder Soldier and inflates his head to make it explode, but Luffy stops him just in time.

!!Tontatta Tribe
[[folder:In General]]
A hidden tribe of Dwarves that live on the island Green Bit just off of Dressrosa. Being so small they fit in someone's palm yet faster than the eye can see, they can remain unseen by the people of Dressrosa and are believed to be fairies. They are lead by Gancho and their warrior Leo. Despite their freakish strength, the Dwarves are incredibly gullible and the Donquixote Pirates have used that to exploit some of them as well as captured their Princess Mansherry. Thus their comrades are working to rebel against Doflamingo.
----
* BadassAdorable: Cute little people capable of beating up characters several times their size with their SuperSpeed and SuperStrength.
* BigDamnHeroes: They all hold the Marines back in Chapter 798 from trying to capture the fleeing pirates.
* BladeOnAStick: Most of them use small lances as weapons.
* ElmuhFuddSyndwome: They speak like this in the English version of the manga.
* TheFairFolk: They are regarded as fairies and known for stealing people's belongings.
* GreenThumb: Green Bit's lushness is due to their nigh-supernatural ability to tend any plant they come across, and it's that very skill that has them enslaved to grow SMILE trees.
* GullibleLemmings: Their [[GangOfHats hats]]. Each of them is very gullible, and believes everything they hear, be it from an ally or a foe. Of course, this means Usopp has the time of his life with them. It's also DeconstructedTrope as their naive nature can be exploited by enemies in order to reveal secret info.
* {{Keigo}}: They all speak like this, but say "resu" instead of "desu".
* {{Lilliputians}}: They're ''tiny'' humanoids with pointy noses and bushy tails. They even tie Nico Robin just like the Lilliputians did to Gulliver.
* MeaningfulName: Tonta is the Spanish, Italian, and Catalan female term for 'fool'. And these dwarves happen to be very gullible. They not only believed one of ''Usopp's'' lies, but the dwarves that are enslaved in Doflamingo's SMILE factory think they're making medicine for the imprisoned Mansherry.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Despite their child-like appearance and behavior, Leo, Kabu, and Inhel have been around since Viola and Scarlett's childhood, indicating that Dwarves have longevity.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: These little people are strong enough to toss an ordinary human around like a rag doll...problem is, their main enemies, the Donquixote Family, are run by humans that are anything ''but'' normal.
* PeeveGoblins: If an item goes missing and you don't notice until later, the Tontatta Tribe did it.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: Despite being small enough to fit in your hands they are strong enough to smash concrete with their fists. So you can forget about the [[PersonOfMassDestruction city block and the architecture occupying it.]]
* ShroudedInMyth: Invoked -- as an apology for the oppression of their tribe, the first King of the Riku Dynasty (about 800 years ago) allowed them to steal anything they want from the kingdom and he'd label them as "fairy's hijinks". Said myth continues to the present day.
* TailSlap: They can do a technique called "Tail Hammer" that is strong enough to knock down a grown man.
* ThanksForTheMammaries: When they're investigating Robin for hidden items, they go so far as to dive into her mini dress. Later on, Gancho somehow managed to hide in between her breasts, without her or Usopp noticing until he speaks.
* ThisMeansWar: They were overjoyed when they learned that [[spoiler: Doflamingo's resigned from being king. But when they learned that the information was false]], this drives them to finally rebel against Doflamingo and go to war against him.
%%* UndyingLoyalty: To Thunder Soldier, their "captain" in their mission.

[[folder:Princess Mansherry]]
!!Princess Mansherry
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AiNonaka (JP) Creator/DaniChambers (EN)
!!!'''Age:''' 25
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 717 (Manga), Episode 647 (Anime)
!!!'''Devil Fruit:''' [[HealingHands Heal-Heal Fruit]]
[[quoteright:335:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mansherry_anime.png]]
The princess of the Tontatta, the Dwarf tribe that live on Green Bit, next to Dressrosa. She was captured by Doflamingo because of her healing and restoration abilities granted by the Heal-Heal Fruit (''Chiyu Chiyu no Mi''), which made her an important asset for Doflamingo's operations, and is kept hostage to force the Tontattas to work for them.
Mansherry is adorable even by dwarf standards, with long golden hair and large eyes, and no one can resist her cuteness, and is very nice to everyone but Leo, for whom she has a crush obvious to everyone but Leo himself.
-----
* OneHundredPercentAdorationRating: Mansherry is so sweet and nice that all of the tontattas adore her, except Leo, and those who meet her are quickly captured by her adorable appearance and personality. Her popularity is exploited by the Donquixote Pirates, who kidnapped her and tell the tontattas she's ill and can be healed only with the SMILES, forcing the tontattas to work for them.
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Leo. He's insensitive and oblivious, she's a {{Tsundere}}.
* BlushSticker: Mansherry has perpetual blush stickers that look like they were scribbled on with a crayon.
* CommonalityConnection: Quick to befriend Shirahoshi, Vivi and Dalton over their shared friendship with Luffy.
* CutenessProximity: She's so cute that she manages to briefly induce this in her captives. [[spoiler: Even [[NotSoStoic Vice Admiral Tsuru]] and her crew aren't immune to her cuteness.]]
* DamselInDistress: She spent most of the arc imprisoned by Doflamingo's forces and the Dwarves were on a mission to rescue her.
* GirlishPigtails: Very girlish and innocent, and her very thick pigtails shows that.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's blonde and definitely not as bad as Leo describes. Quite the opposite actually.
* HealingHands: She has eaten the Heal-Heal Fruit, which allows her to heal any living thing instantly. Normally, her powers work on living things however they could also be used to restore non-living things as well albeit at the [[CastFromLifespan cost of her lifespan]].
%%* LadyAndTheKnight: Lady to Leo's Knight.
* LivingMacguffin: She is imprisoned by the Donquixote pirates for her potent healing abilities and to force the Tontattas to work for her. As a result, one of the main objectives of Operation S.O.P is to free her so they can stop the production of [=SMILEs=].
* NiceGirl: Contrary to what Leo believes, she's actually a very kind and compassionate princess.
* PersonalityPower: Mansherry is one of the nicest characters in the series, has been described as nice to everyone (except Leo) and has the power to heal people and non-living beings.
* PrincessClassic: Even more than Shirahoshi. She's unapologetically nice, feminine and caring, coming complete with healing powers. The only exception to this is her {{Tsundere}} tendencies, and that's only around Leo.
* SacrificialRevivalSpell: Somewhat: She can turn donated blood into dandelion-like balls of healing. [[spoiler:This also makes the donators becoming easily weakened if done too much on each person.]]
* SwissArmyTears: One way in which Mansherry's Heal-Heal Fruit powers can be applied. Once Giolla realizes this, she starts hurting Mansherry to invoke this trope on the defeated Doflamingo officers.
* {{Tsundere}}:
** When Mansherry first appears in person, her personality doesn't match the "bitter, selfish, cruel, spoiled, and ill-tempered" description she was given earlier. She's actually very sweet, to the point of inducing CutenessProximity in villains and refuses to help Giolla revive the Officers. Then the first thing Leo says to her after catching her in a BridalCarry is she's gained weight, earning him a punch to the face and Kabu thinking how some things never change.
** The next chapter makes it clear she's a "Sweet" type, being deredere to everyone else only really showing her Tsuntsun side to Leo out of frustration to his [[ObliviousToLove obliviousness]].
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: Turns out Mansherry wasn't imprisoned in the SMILE factory. Instead, she was in the royal palace.

!Dressrosa
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/op_dressrosa.png]]
An island within the New World and one of the Twenty Kingdoms of the World Government. The country is famed for its Colosseum, flower fields, food, living toys, and passionate women. There is also the myth of "fairies" that live in the country and take people's belongings. Dressrosa was previously ruled by the Riku Family until they were overthrown by the current king, [[Characters/OnePieceDonquixoteDoflamingo Donquixote Doflamingo]].
After [[Characters/OnePieceMonkeyDLuffy Monkey D. Luffy]] defeats Doflamingo, the Riku Family reclaim the throne.

[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:In General]]
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: Dressrosa is a mix of Spain and Italy, especially the former, as seen in several details. The typical dishes ate by Luffy and co. include paella and pasta, there is a giant arena called Corrida Colosseum, complete with bull-like fishes, and the architecture of the country resembles that of Barcelona.

->''"I did my best to be a good man, if I could only survive by ending a life, I would rather chose death of my own free will."''
A mysterious gladiator who joined the Dressrosa tournament at Corrida Colosseum. Later he turns out to be the former King of Dressrosa in disguise.
----
* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Riku was a beloved king who helped the other countries, protected his people, and his family managed to avoid going into war ever since they took charge of Dressrosa.
* AccentAdaptation: He is given a Latin American Spanish accent in the Funimation dub.
* AintTooProudToBeg: Riku got on his hands and knees and begs for his people, on a Visual Transponder Snail, to give them their fortune to pay Doflamingo's fee.
* BerserkerTears: As he's manipulated by Doflamingo into killing his own people, he's visibly crying.
* CoolOldGuy: Visibly looking old, but still manages to be a fierce fighter in the Colosseum.
* DotingParent: He really loves his granddaughter, to the point that he was shown crying ManlyTears in a flashback to her birth.
* FallGuy: He became one for Doflamingo, who used his strings to literally puppet him into attacking and killing his people so that Doflamingo can "save" the populace and become their new "good" king.
* TheGoodKing: His country may have been poor, but it was thriving and his people loved him.
* HatedByAll: After the incident that Doflamingo caused, he and his family were ridiculed and laughed at. After discovering Doflamingo's atrocities, the Dressrosan people start trusting him again.
* MyGreatestFailure: Regards his slaughter of the Dressrosan citizens as this, even though it was Doflamingo who was controlling him to murder them. This affected him so much he had nightmares of that night every day, and refused to take the throne even after Doflamingo was finally defeated. Elizabello and the people of Dressrosa convince him otherwise.
* NerfArm: Ricky fights with only a blunt sword, and knocks people out with the hilt rather than hit them conventionally.
* RousingSpeech: Delivers one in Chapter 785; he announced to his people that there's still hope that they can escape the nightmare that is coming down on them all, that they have a lot of great warriors to thank and Luffy in particular to put faith on, and to keep running and surviving with the last of their strengths.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He invokes this once during the battle in Dressrosa, saying that since he (feels like he) is no longer endangered, he's going down from the plateau he's on, trying to be useful to his people. Even before that, he's the king who really cares about peace and welfare of his country. He's also a trained Colosseum fighter.
* ShutUpHannibal: When Pica taunts him about how much of a bad king he was and how his pacifistic ways lead to his kingdom's downfall, he retaliates by saying that a country that is built on war and violence would have no future, and he would choose death rather than murdering people even if it may keep him alive. Although he does admit his own helplessness and says that he's not going to take the throne again.
* TearsOfJoy:
** He cried these when his granddaughter was born.
** In the present, he cries these again when [[spoiler:Doflamingo is defeated.]]
* TechnicalPacifist: Somewhat. He's okay with fighting as a sport in the Colosseum(and he has done so himself), but he really values peace, and has worked so hard for it that his kingdom has never experienced war for a long time.

!!!'''Age:''' 25
[[quoteright:165:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scarlett_anime.png]]
Scarlett was former Crowned Princess of Dressrosa, Kyros's wife, Rebecca's mother, and Viola's older sister. She was killed when her daughter was only a child.
----
* BigSisterInstinct: When she was still under the belief that Kyros was a dangerous murderer, she warned him to stay away from Viola.
* BodyguardCrush: Kyros was assigned as her and Viola's bodyguard after his release from the Colosseum. Scarlett was initially distrustful of him due to his criminal past, but that quickly changed when he saved her from pirates who had kidnapped her.
* DefrostingIceQueen: When they first met, Scarlett was skeptical over Kyros, seeing him only as a murderer. But, when he valiantly saved her from kidnappers, she changed her mind and eventually fell in love with him.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: In her husband's arms, in fact. However, since he had been turned into a toy by Sugar, she died without recognizing him. The poor man was devastated by this.
* EverybodyKnewAlready: Turns out, the adults of Dressrosa knew how Scarlett faked her death and have been living with Kyros ever since.
* FakingTheDead: She faked death by illness so that she could marry Kyros, though her family was in on the charade. And as later revealed, it didn't take long for the citizens to catch on to the truth either, though they kept their mouths shut out of respect.
* HappilyMarried: She had a mutual loving marriage with Kyros while she was alive.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: The Tiny Girl (petite, slender woman) to Kyros' Huge Guy (a muscular {{Hunk}}).
* TheLostLenore: To Kyros, as he still loves and mourns her in the present dearly.
* MamaBear: Scarlett did everything in her power to protect her daughter from the violence in Dressrosa.
* MeaningfulName: "Scarlett" can be another term for red. And she had reddish-pink hair.
* MissingMom: To Rebecca, as she was murdered when her daughter was a child.
* NiceGirl: She was known as a caring, sweet person by her subjects and close loved ones.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted; she shares her name with the gorilla from Shiki's pirate crew (albeit the gorilla's name is spelled "Scarlet", with one "t").
* RescueRomance: Scarlett began to see Kyros in a new (and romantic) light after he saved her.
* SecretRelationship: She and Kyros [[FakingTheDead faked her death]] and married in secret due to the scandal that would be created of them being together. It didn't technically stay secret for long, since the citizens soon found out about the truth anyway, but they decided to pretend they didn't know out of respect.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Looks exactly like her daughter with the only difference being hair color.
* ThroughHisStomach: She started making handmade bentos for Kyros after falling in love with him.
* UptownGirl: She (a princess) fell in love with Kyros (an ex-criminal turned soldier).

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MieSonozaki (JP), Creator/CristinaValenzuela (EN)
!!!'''Age:''' 29
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 703 (Manga), Episode 632 (Anime)
!!!'''Devil Fruit:''' [[PerceptionFilter Glare-Glare Fruit]]
[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/viola_anime.png]]
A beautiful dancer from Dressrosa, who Sanji met shortly after the crew arrived on the island. She has eaten the Glare-Glare Fruit (''Giro Giro no Mi''), a Devil Fruit that allows her to see through people, both [[XRayVision literally]] and [[LivingLieDetector figuratively]]. But there's more to her than what she looks like...
-----
* AccentAdaptation: She is given a Latin American Spanish accent in the Funimation dub.
* ActionGirl: She's good enough at fighting to be a ranked lieutenant of the Donquixote Family. [[spoiler:Thankfully for the heroes and especially Sanji, she defects from them quite quickly into the Dressrosa Arc.]]
* ArchEnemy: Hates Doflamingo just as much as every member of her family. First [[spoiler:he ransacked her home]], then he [[spoiler:destroyed her family's name]], then [[spoiler:his thugs murdered her sister]], and then he forced her [[spoiler:to work for him as an assassin]] in exchange for her father's life. When she sees the best chance of taking him down ''in years'', she doesn't hesitate in betraying the Donquixote Family in order to take that chance.
* CombatStilettos: She wears them and isn't afraid to use them as weapons.
* CoolAunt: [[spoiler:To Rebecca. Viola was caring for her niece since the latter was a toddler and supported her decision to live with Kyros.]]
* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:She loses pretty badly to Doflamingo even though he was barely still standing from fighting Luffy and she was 100%. However, seeing as how he's pretty much an implacable monster, it's understandable. Also, on the flip end, she delivered a Curb Stomp to Sanji earlier on ([[WouldntHitAGirl though for obvious reasons on his part]]).]]
* DanceBattler: She incorporates dancing into her fighting style.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:Doflamingo tore her family apart and she was forced to work alongside him]].
* DatingCatwoman: [[http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/SBS_Volume_83#Chapter_833.2C_Page_118 In an SBS segment]], Oda heavily implies that she once had a sexual relationship with Doflamingo, the same man who had her sister murdered, overthrew [[TheGoodKing her father]], and forced her to work as an assassin in exchange for her father's life, but couldn't be brought up in the story proper because the target audience is so young.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Violet was ''absolutely crucial'' to Doflamingo's scheme to defeat the Straw Hat-Law Alliance, and her defection wasn't even considered by Doflamingo's higher ups and thus has thrown a huge wrench into Doflamingo's plans... And now they can't catch her, because Violet's Devil Fruit allows her to literally see them coming from miles away, ''and'' she can read their minds to see their revised plans, allowing her to stay ahead of them.
* DirtyMindReading: Accidentally, when she read Sanji's mind and found out what his mind was mostly filled with.
* DoesNotLikeMen: Nowhere near Hancock's level, but she has great cynicism towards men, mostly because she has often been lied to. She seems to make an exception for Sanji after he tells her he'd never doubt a woman's tears.
* DrivenToSuicide: After Diamante informed her that he killed Scarlett, it's strongly implied Viola was going to commit suicide after being forced into Donquixote's servitude and losing her only free relative, but Tank Lepanto stopped her, promising to protect her throughout her ordeal.
* FallenPrincess: She's a former princess. [[spoiler:She actually would've eventually been a Badass Queen since her older sister forfeited the claim to their father's throne by faking her death. Unfortunately, Doflamingo killed her sister for ''real'' some time later ''and'' took the throne. After Doflamingo is defeated, she regains her status as princess. And later becomes heir to Dressrosa again as Rebecca abdicated her position to live with her father.]]
* FemmeFatale: Maintained this facade as a member of the Donquixote Pirates, though Sanji easily sees through it.
* GoodAllAlong: Turns out that she made a deal with Doflamingo to [[spoiler:serve him in exchange for her father's life]].
* HeelFaceTurn: Because of Sanji's genuine belief in her and her tears, she turns against the Doflamingo family.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: She may be an assassin, and [[WomanScorned doesn't take kindly to men doing her wrong]], but she is unwillingly working for Doflamingo, and she's actually a rather nice young woman. Sanji sees through her facade, causing her HeelFaceTurn.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: In conjunction with her dance moves, she fights with her pointed stilettos and a knife hidden in her hair decorations.
* KickChick: She likes kicking.
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Her gown doesn't stop her from fighting.
* LadyOfWar: She's able to hold her own in battle and is quite elegant in doing so.
* LivingLieDetector: She can read other people's minds, allowing her to easily see through any lies.
* LostInTranslation: The reason why she can turn her tears into whales is due to a Japanese pun -- the word "Mekujira" (literally Eye Whale) which stands for "eye's corner".
* MagicalEye: Her Devil Fruit powers basically turns her eyes into this.
* MeaningfulName: Her name can either be a nod to "ultraviolets" (which is often used to see things normally invisible to the human eye) or to Violet Gibson, the woman who tried to assassinate Benito Mussolini.
* TheMole: [[spoiler: She only agreed to work with Doflamingo in exchange of keeping her father alive; once she manages to find outside help (Straw Hats in this case) she works against her employer.]]
* MrExposition: Female version. After her HeelFaceTurn, she becomes this throughout the rest of the Dressrosa Arc, using her powers to explain the ongoings of the country to her allies.
* MsFanservice: She is introduced as a dancing girl and her first real act is to essentially seduce Sanji.
* PerceptionFilter: By holding her hands into a goggle shape and putting them over her eyes, she can "see intently" the different nature of the world and the people in it. Granted, it looks rather silly, but it's effective as hell.
* PintSizedKid: Unusually [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in the flashback to when she was 10 years old. Kids in One Piece are usually depicted as being cartoonishly toddler sized, but for whatever reason, Viola was drawn with a much more realistic height at that age. Compare the 10 year old Viola [[http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Viola?file=Viola_at_Age_10.png here]] to a more typical One Piece 10 year old [[http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Sabo?file=Dragon_Saves_Sabo.png here]].
* TheReveal: Violet's true name is [[spoiler:Viola]], and she is [[spoiler:the daughter of King Riku Dold III]], making her [[spoiler:a member of the Riku royal family, a princess, and the aunt of Rebecca]]. She's also the reason why [[spoiler:her father is still alive]]. Her Devil Fruit abilities interested Doflamingo, so she was able to [[spoiler:save her father's life in return for service to the Donquixote family.]]
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She is an assassin and [[spoiler:helps the Straw Hats defeat Doflamingo]].
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem:[[spoiler: Viola uses her own connection with her old acquaintance who is part of the World Government against Doflamingo]].
* SuperSenses: Her Devil Fruit also allows her to have different "viewpoints", one of which is a birds-eye view which spans 40 kilometers, or roughly 24.85 miles. This means she can observe anything on and near the island (which, to put into perspective, is almost [[HyperAwareness the same range as Eneru's Observation Haki]] pre-timeskip).
* SwissArmyTears: They can ''turn into whales and be used as projectiles''.
* TargetSpotter: When [[spoiler:Usopp]] is going to snipe [[spoiler:Sugar]] across a mountain range, Violet acts as this to him. Her eye powers are very much helpful in determining the target's exact location.
* TearsOfJoy: When [[spoiler:Sugar is knocked out and everyone returns to human, Viola regains her memories of Kyros. Cue the young woman crying tears of joy at seeing her brother-in-law again, and realizing why the Thunder Soldier had watched over Rebecca all this time]].
* {{Telepathy}}: The mind-reading type. She can also make other people read ''her'' memories.
* WhenSheSmiles: Like Robin, she actually smiles relatively often, but her genuine smiles make her look really cute.
* XRayVision: One of the powers granted by her Devil Fruit. She can see through people's clothes and skin easily.

[[folder:"The Undefeated Woman" Rebecca]]
!!"The Undefeated Woman" Rebecca
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Music/MegumiHayashibara (JP), Creator/ChristineMarieCabanos (EN)
!!!'''Age:''' 16
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 704 (Manga) Episode 633 (Anime)
[[quoteright:230:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rebecca_anime.png]]
[[caption-width-right:230:[[labelnote:Click here to see her as a Lady-in-waiting.]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rebecca_anime_infobox.png]][[/labelnote]]
A prideful female warrior who has joined the Dressrosa tournament at Corrida Colosseum, with intentions of winning the Flame-Flame Fruit and killing Doflamingo. In the end, she didn't succeed, but she did help the others. Like Violet, Rebecca's past has personal ties with the royal family and those connected with her.
-----
* AccentAdaptation: She is given a Latin American Spanish accent in the Funimation dub.
* AdaptationalCurves: The anime has conspicuously enlarged her breasts.
* AerithAndBob: A mild case with her and her family's names. "Rebecca" and "Scarlett" are fairly common English/American names[[note]]the former has roots in Hebrew and Arab Peninsula[[/note]], but her aunt is "Viola" (named after the instrument, but typically an Italian female first name when given as a name), her father "Kyros" (a Greek name), her grandfather "Dold", and the entire family's name is Riku (Finnish/Japanese).
* BadassAdorable: She's a very cute young girl, especially when she softens up near Luffy. She's also, despite her aversion to fighting, skilled enough to defeat and survive against many powerful and blood-thirsty opponents in the Corrida Colosseum.
* BadassPacifist: She's the first character seen with a totally Observation Haki-based fighting style, and thus fights by ''dodging'' her opponents in creative ways that result in them taking out themselves or each other. [[spoiler:[[ChekhovsSkill This ability makes her]] [[TacticalRockPaperScissors the perfect counter]] to the rampaging Cavendish, as she's just fast enough to take a non-fatal blow to her helmet while everyone else gets cut down, winning her the D-Block round.]]
* BareYourMidriff: Given what she's wearing...at Corrida Colosseum.
* BraidsOfAction: Under her helmet.
* ChainmailBikini: Almost literally: she wears nothing but a paludamentum (mantle), helmet, greaves and bracers. Her body armor consists of scaled brassiers and loincloth.
* CombatClairvoyance: Is hinted to have Observation Haki.
* CommonalityConnection: She quickly bonds with Vivi, Coby, Shirahoshi, and Dalton over their shared friendship with Luffy.
* CoolHelmet: Likes to wear one in combat. It actually saved her life during the D-Block round.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Her fighting style is extremely useful in tournament matches, during which she can trick opponents into falling out of the ring, using their strength against them and her speed to her advantage. However, because her fighting style lacks any proper ''attacks'', it is completely inadapted to regular fights.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: She lived on the point of starvation with her mother, then [[spoiler:her mother was killed and she too was hunted. Only the one-legged toy soldier was her friend as they fought to survive under Doflamingo's rule.]]
* DramaticIrony: When the Thunder Soldier comes to her and dissuades her from participating in the tournament (and calling her "not an adult despite 16 already"), she understandably gets enraged, stating that they cannot wait any longer since everyone is losing hope, deriding the statue of Kyros as nothing but a fictional, idealized soldier that represents the hope that the convict gladiators may one day escape captivity, and then says that [[YoureNotMyFather he isn't even her real father]], but just a one-legged toy, which visibly hurts them both. [[spoiler:The irony being that Thunder Soldier is actually Kyros -- ''and her biological father''. We don't learn the former until the end of the chapter, but the point still stands.]]
* DeadlyDodging: Her main method of combat in the Colosseum is by dodging her enemies' attacks and leave them helpless from the recovery to strike back.
* EasilyForgiven: She tries to kill Luffy, but he shrugs it off because she didn't do it out of malice but rather desperation, her attempt was weak-willed, she was extremely outmatched, and she brought him lunch.
* FauxActionGirl: Rebecca has skill, to be sure, but the title of the "Undefeated Woman" results from foes that she can outmaneuver and knock out of the ring. When forced into a situation where she actually has to attack, her performance is lackluster. Justified in that because Scarlett didn't want Rebecca to fight, the Thunder Soldier taught her how to ''defend herself'' as opposed to attacking directly. Also, she's really just a civilian being forced into fights above her level, which is impressive when compared to the rest of the commonfolk, who have walked away maimed, helpless, or not at all.
* FragileSpeedster: She's clearly not as tough as the likes of Luffy or the other competitors, but she's very fast, using that advantage to get them to take each other and themselves out without ever having to strike back. [[spoiler:She's even fast enough to avoid being hit too hard by Hakuba's attacks, granting her victory in her block.]]
* GenerationXerox: Just like her mother [[spoiler:she threw away her status as crown princess so she could live with Kyros. Riku even lampshades it.]]
* HeroicBSOD: She goes through one when [[spoiler:she realizes that Diamante killed her mother, Scarlett]].
* HiddenDepths: Rebecca seems to have a mysterious past involving Spartan, Thunderous Soldier of Rage, and Doflamingo. To a lesser extent, with Kyros (a legendary combatant) and Ricky as well. [[spoiler:It's revealed that she's a princess of the royal family, Ricky being King Riku (her grandfather), and the Soldier being her father, Kyros, in toy form. And Doflamingo is the one who toppled her grandfather and radically changed Dressrosa into what it is now.]]
* ImNotHungry: Because [[spoiler:her mother died trying to get food for her]].
* InelegantBlubbering: When Luffy shows up to save her [[spoiler:from killing Violet under Doflamingo's control]], she is an understandably very messy crier. Also when she [[spoiler:convinces Kyros to stay as her father despite his guilt]], to the point that mucus is dripping over her mouth.
* LadyInWaiting: She's serving as this to her aunt, as they're preparing to attend the Reverie. [[spoiler:Considering Rebecca herself forfeited her title as princess to live with her father.]]
* TheLawOfDiminishingDefensiveEffort: Inverted (change "defensive" to "offensive") -- she usually doesn't attack much on her own (outside of CounterAttack), but she starts to charge at Diamante. This change of strategy is noted by the commentator.
* LukeIAmYourFather:
** Unbeknownst to her, the Thunder Soldier, the toy who raised her as his adoptive daughter, is, in fact, [[spoiler:her ''biological'' father turned into a toy]]. It's stated that the reason Rebecca doesn't know this is because of the amnesia induced by Sugar's power, causing Rebecca to forget all about him as soon as he became a toy. Upon meeting again he decided to withhold the information from her -- probably because toys who attempt to reveal the truth of their identities and their previous human nature are immediately sent to the scrap heap. The aspect of the reveal for the trope is downplayed because he revealed it not to Rebecca, but to the Straw Hats and the Tontatta Tribe.
** Becomes a double doozy when it's revealed -- initially to others, not Rebecca herself -- that the Toy Soldier is ''also'' [[spoiler:the legendary gladiator Kyros, who once fought three thousand straight battles without suffering a single hit]]. Rebecca learns of it after all the toys are transformed back and Rebecca regains the memories about her father.
* MsFanservice: She's a cute girl that fights in the most revealing outfit of the series. She is considered extremely attractive and beautiful by the other gladiators. Plus, the anime makes her more busty.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Rebecca tearfully tells the Thunder Soldier that [[YoureNotMyFather he isn't her father]] when the latter tries to dissuade her from participating in the tournament. She is understandably regretful, knowing that her anger over Doflamingo's false resignation caused her to go too far.
* NerfArm: Like Ricky's sword, hers is also blunt. You see, they're grandpa and granddaughter.
* OhCrap: When she realizes that she went too far during her argument with the Thunder Soldier over her participation in the tournament.
* PluckyGirl: She won't stay long in the Colosseum and honor her mother's wish of not hurting anyone (Thunder Soldier's non-violent training helps too) if she doesn't have that much pluck.
* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: She is actually [[spoiler:the 16 year old daughter of Scarlett and Kyros and the granddaughter of Riku Dold III, therefore being one of the original princesses of Dressrosa.]] And another reason [[spoiler:Doflamingo wants her dead. She loses the "princess" part when she forfeits her title to live with her father at the end of the Dressrosa arc]].
* RedBaron: Aside from the aforementioned "Undefeated Woman" moniker, she's also known as the "Phantom Princess".
* RingOut: This is her main method of disposing of opponents. It's noted that she has never injured any enemy directly because she always does this.
* SinsOfOurFathers: Because her grandfather was the previous king of Dressrosa and everyone resented him, the audiences in the Colosseum are all too happy to ridicule her. That was a FrameUp by Doflamingo, and once the truth is revealed, the people regain respect for the entire Riku family.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her gladiator "armor" is probably the most revealing outfit in the series. The Corrida Colosseum has a weight limit on armor to maximize injuries (and consequently, bloodshed), and Rebecca in particular focuses on speedily outmaneuvering her opponents, but still...
* StrongFamilyResemblance: She [[SheIsAllGrownUp grew up]] to be the spitting image of her late mother Scarlett. It becomes especially jarring when [[spoiler:she regains her title as princess]] and wears an almost identical dress to the one her mom used to wear; you'd almost think Scarlett has come back from the grave. That resemblance even extends to personality, as [[spoiler:both of them threw away their status as princess so they could live with Kyros; a fact Viola and Riku Dold lampshade]].
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: A sixteen-year-old, pink-haired, scantily clad princess who learned pacifism from a mother shot ten years ago who Luffy is falsely accused of kidnapping when she asked to be taken somewhere? Back already, Shirahoshi?
* TearsOfJoy: She lets these out when [[spoiler:she remembers her dad and meets him again, then later when Doflamingo is defeated at last, and a third time when she and Kyros are reunited for good and they decide to live together]].
* ThisIsUnforgivable: When Diamante shoots [[spoiler:Kyros]]'s leg and then makes him get hit by the raining spiky balls, Rebecca is understandably outraged.
* WeakButSkilled: An especially notable case in the series. Because she doesn't want to hurt anyone, she is very weak, but her speed, Observation Haki and skill in making people knock themselves out or lure them into falling out of the ring make up for it, and allows her to survive undefeated in a Colosseum full of powerful and bloodthirsty warriors.
* WingdingEyes: For a brief humorous moment in the Reverie arc, she gets adorable puddle-shaped eyes as Vivi correctly guesses Luffy saved Dressrosa.
* WorthyOpponent: Rebecca seems to feel this way towards Luffy as she said it would be nice if they both progressed to the second round of the tournament.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Well, in the [[ImpossibleHourglassFigure body]], at least. Her face looks believably young, much like Princess Shirahoshi who's the same age (sixteen, for the curious).

* CombatCommentator: His role in the Corrida Colosseum is to serve as a commentator during fights.
* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler: He buys Luffy time by mocking Doflamingo all the while despite knowing what that entails and indeed gets impaled for his trouble. But still keeps spewing vitriol to the bitter end until Luffy re-engages the battle. Thankfully he manages to survive.]]
* InLoveWithYourCarnage: He gets heart-shaped eyes at particularly impressive feats in the Colosseum.

!!!Corrida Colosseum Tournament Participants
[[folder:In General]]
The various gladiators and other fighters participating in the Corrida Colosseum Tournament to get their hands on the [[PlayingWithFire Flame-Flame Fruit]].
----
* ActionGirl: Rebecca and Acilia can more than hold their own; even more when they're teamed up.
* AnnoyingArrows: When Luffy dodges all of Jean Ango's projectile weapons with Observation Haki, they end up lodged in Chinjao's gut. All this does is make him mad; [[CurbStompBattle bye, Jean]].
* BadassCape: A good number of them wear'em, like Rebecca, Cavendish (though his is a CoatCape), Sai, and Elizabello.
* BalefulPolymorph: The failed contestants gets abducted and turned into [[spoiler:toys by Trebol and Sugar]].
* BearHug: Rolling Logan from D Block crushes two opponents' bones this way, being a huge man.
* BerserkButton: Kelly Funk hates it when somebody [[TheNapoleon makes fun of his height]] to the point that he will continue to beat his opponent even after they're unconscious.
* BigDumbBody: Bobby Funk's entire purpose is just to be possessed by Kelly's powers, because Bobby is ridiculously durable even if he can't fight.
* BigLittleBrother: Bobby is the younger of the Funk Brothers and yet he's the taller one (Kelly's height only reaches Bobby's chest).
* BountyHunter: Jean Ango.
* CondemnedContestant: [[spoiler:It's revealed that every loser in the battle gets dumped underground with broken toys after they're tricked with "medical operation".]]
* CrossCounter: Happens with Ideo and Sai once.
* DeadlyDodging: Luffy effortlessly dodges Jean Ango's thrown weapons... which all fly into Chinjao's gut. He then knocked Ango out of the ring.
* EquippableAlly: Kelly of the Funk Brothers. He has the power of the Jacket-Jacket Fruit (''Jake Jake no Mi''), which turns him into a jacket. Anyone who wears him is possessed by him, giving Kelly all of their abilities.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: While some of them are evil, the big named participants would never [[spoiler: betray Usopp and his friends for freeing them from their toy curse and they attacked the ungrateful participants who would try to capture them.]]
* EvilGenius:
** Dagama seems to amount to this, being a very unpleasant [[TheStrategist strategist]] who is not above cheating his way to victory.
** Later on he proves his strategic prowess in the invasion in Doflamingo's palace where he gathers and commands all of the other combatants to stay on guard to ensure that Luffy can pass safely after they fought Doflamingo's forces with seemingly no cooperation.
* EvilSorcerer: The gladiator Mummy from Block D is introduced as a "Sorcerer". The exact nature of said "sorcery" has yet to be revealed.
* FluffyTamer: As usual for him, Luf-- er, Lucy manages to tame The Fighting Bull.
* FluffyTheTerrible: Lucy nicknames him "[[SublimeRhyme Ucy]]" (a pun for the Japanese word for bull, ''ushi'').
* GlassCannon: Kelly Funk also easily goes down from Boo's Hasshouken punch.
* {{Gonk}}: Dagama again. He also happens to resemble [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Eggman]].
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Kelly Funk's Jacket-Jacket Fruit (where his body unzips and unfurls like a jacket) sounds about as useful as [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable taking photographs]] or [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia rotating your shoulders really fast.]] But when your brother is a StoneWall who can tank Haki-infused attacks, it's ''[[FusionDance very]]'' [[LightningBruiser efficient,]] as poor Boo [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown found out the hard way.]]
* KiManipulation: The Chinjao Family employs Haki, aside from Hasshouken.
* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Kelly, when angered, tends to attack whoever angers him even after they're unconscious.
* KingOfBeasts: The Fighting Lion, one of the fighters of the D Block. Orlumbus easily defeats him, though.
* MadeOfDiamond: Bobby Funk. He took an Armament Haki-imbued axe to the back and stays intact, with the axe's hilt snapped in two in the process.
* MuggingTheMonster: Spartan, the star of the Colosseum, upon seeing Luffy, thought he was a puny runt that didn't belong in the tournament and angrily attacked him. [[CurbStompBattle You can probably guess what happens]].
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Kelly and Bobby Funk are based on actual, famous wrestling brothers Wrestling/TerryFunk and Wrestling/DoryFunkJr.
* OhCrap:
** Jean Ango's expression when Chinjao's about to attack him.
** Bellamy's expression when King Elizabello's about to launch his King Punch.
** Heck, the audience and commentator do this many times. Many unexpected things happen here, after all.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Taken to hilarious extremes when ''all of them'' insist that they will personally kill Doflamingo.
* PyroManiac: Damask is described as this, what with his strange ability to breathe fire.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: Kelly Funk after anyone triggers his BerserkButton.
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: [[spoiler: It seems like the Funk Brothers were aiding Luffy when they gave him directions to a shortcut in the tunnels but it led to a dead end. It turns out they intended to betray Luffy and his allies but Doflamingo's string clone comes along and incapacitates the Funk Brothers which ironically saves Luffy.]]
* StoneWall: Bobby Funk may be a minor character, but he has the intriguing distinction of being the first character seen who can resist Haki with his natural defenses; he's simply that tough.
* ThisMeansWar: Dagama declares this after [[spoiler:he's trapped in the underground with the rest of the tourney losers.]].
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: How Jean Ango fights.
* {{Ungrateful Bastard}}s: At first they all worship [[spoiler:Usopp for freeing them from Sugar's toy powers but once Doflamingo puts a price on his head they all seemingly go after him.]] Seriously guys you couldn't wait ten minutes even? [[spoiler:Turned out that only the no-name ones on-panel went after him. Many named ones were off-panel at the time and later prove to still be loyal, except for the Funk Brothers; and even then, many of those who went after him changed their mind and ended up helping Luffy anyway, thanks to Gatz.]]
* {{Vibroweapon}}: The Chinjao family know a martial art called ''Hasshouken'' that makes their ''fists and kicks'' into vibroweapons that can bypass armor and shields.
* YouShallNotPass: They (well, most of them) all rally together to hold Doflamingo's forces and executives so Luffy (and Cavendish, and Law, and Kyros) can continue to go to Doflamingo's place, courtesy of Dagama. Later he does a personal version of this where, after getting gored by Dellinger, he holds the latter in place and tells Luffy and co to go forward.

The king of Prodence Kingdom, and also one of the fighters who joined as a gladiator at the Corrida Colosseum to compete for the Flame-Flame Fruit.
------
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He's a king and a single punch of him can tear down a fortress.
* AwesomeButImpractical: The King Punch is said to be powerful enough to knock down one of the Four Emperors and tear down fortresses, but the hour-long charge time makes it impractical to rely on it in a fight; the only reason he managed to fire it in the Colosseum was because he was being guarded the whole time.
* BadassCape: One commonly used for kings, pretty much.
* BoxingBattler: His fighting preference.
* ChargedAttack: His patented [[MegatonPunch King Punch]] needs roughly an hour of charge time. He can also use it without it being fully charged yet, but it'll get proportionately weaker as a result.
* ChekhovsGun: At one point, when Zoro has difficulty fighting Pica, King Elizabello offers help with his King Punch, but Zoro tells him to save it for later. Later, when Pica in his gigantic stone form is walking towards King Riku, Elizabello thinks it's the right time and prepares to let it out... and Zoro still tells him to hold back a bit. [[spoiler:The King Punch does get used later... as cleanup for Pica's leftover stone body. (He does save everyone on the plateau by doing so, though.)]]
* CoolCrown: He wears a hoop crown.
* CripplingOverspecialization: The King Punch is insanely powerful, but also needs to be charged and Elizabello can't really do any other fighting while charging it. He seems to rely entirely on it, so he's really only useful about once an hour.
* GlassCannon: His King Punch can absolutely wreck havoc in the field, but he has to prepare himself for an hour and he's largely helpless in that state. One barrier punch from Bartolomeo is all that's needed to knock him down, once his guards are taken out.
* LargeAndInCharge: He's pretty big and he's a king.
* MundaneUtility: Elizabello II considers [[spoiler:using his powerful punch to clean up the remains of Pica's massive stone body before they fell on those below]] to be this.
* OddFriendship: He's friends with King Riku Dold III despite him being a pacifist.
* OneHitKill: His speciality. It's said to be sufficient to bring down an ''Emperor'', but he can only use it once per hour and is largely helpless while he's building up the momentum to perform it. He can, however, fire it off early at the cost of reduced power.
* RedBaron: He's known as the "The Fighting King".
* RedBoxingGloves: They're yellow boxing gloves.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He enters the competition to win the Mera Mera no Mi. [[spoiler:And he's one of the many fighters who aid the Straw Hat Pirates in taking down Doflamingo]].
* TopHeavyGuy: His legs are much tinier than his comparatively large body and arms. Makes sense, since he's a boxer.
* TheWorfBarrage: Elizabello's MegatonPunch [[spoiler:knocks out just about everyone in one shot, including Bellamy, who was being built up as a major threat]]. Everyone, that is, except for [[spoiler:Bartolomeo, whose force field [[NoSell no sells]] him before he promptly takes him out with little effort]].

[[caption-width-right:310:[[labelnote:Click here to see his human form.]] https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kyros_anime.png[[/labelnote]]]]
->''"Even toys have things they want to protect. But no tears will fall from these tin eyes..."''
Introduced as a one-legged toy soldier, who is also a criminal in Dressrosa, with a grudge against Doflamingo and plots with the Tontatta to remove him from the throne. He quickly aligns with the Straw Hats and offers to help Franky take down the Smile factory. He also shares a past with Rebecca, having taken care of her after her mother's death and trained her to fight without hurting people.
He's later revealed to actually be Kyros, the legendary champion of the Corrida Colosseum and Rebecca's father, turned into a toy by Sugar. In the past, he used to be a violent criminal, until king Riku talked him into a better person. After saving Scarlett, Riku's eldest daughter, she fell in love with him and the two had a secret marriage, from which Rebecca was born. Unfortunately, it ended in tragedy after Doflamingo usurped the Riku family.
Kyros is a formidable warrior, the best of all Dressrosa, and fights using a sword. He's very loyal to Riku and cares a lot for his daughter, whom he wishes to not take his path as a killer. Kyros is also full of doubts because of his past as a rebellious teen and can't forgive himself for having murdered people.
-----
* AccentAdaptation: Just like Rebecca, he is given a Latin American Spanish accent in the Funimation dub.
* ActionDad: Kyros is the Champion of the Corrida Colosseum as well as Scarlett's husband and Rebecca's father. With the death of his wife at the hands of Diamante, Kyros, while turned into a soldier, dedicated his life to his daughter, raising and training her even if Rebecca doesn't have any memory of him. During the climax of the Dressrosa Arc, Kyros fights Diamante to protect Rebecca and avenge Scarlett.
* AnArmAndALeg: Similar to Literature/TheSteadfastTinSoldier, Thunder Soldier is a toy soldier with just one leg. Ten years befor the events of Dressrosa, he was still a human, Kyros cut off his own leg to rush at Doflamingo, but was touched by Sugar and transformed into a toy, while also forgotten by everyone.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: To give him a better life, and noticing that he's the best gladiator in the history of the Corrida Colosseum, king Riku grants him the position of army commander.
* TheAtoner: Kyros always feels guilty for the murders he commited in the past, not helped by the people who hated him when he was a gladiator, but Riku helped him become a better person and told him to help others to make amends for his mistakes.
* AwesomeMcCoolName: Thunder Soldier is a really cool name that indicate how badass the toy is.
* BadassBoast: When he meets Diamante after many years, Kyros declares himself the wrath of Dressrosa's people before beginning his fight with the pirate.
-->"I am the wrath of this country's people, and I shall take you down!"
* BadassCape: Kyros wears a red cape that makes him more imposing and, with its color, indicates that he can be violent in combat.
* BadassNormal: Kyros has no Devil Fruit powers but is still ''the'' strongest gladiator ever to walk Corrida Colosseum and defeats one of Donquixote's strongest subordinates.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In his youth when he was still a human, no matter how many victories he won in the Colosseum, no would ever let him live it down that he was a murderer. For that he wished people would just simply forget his existence. Then, after building a genuinely happy life for himself, everyone, including the people he loved, forgot his existence thanks to Sugar's Devil Fruit powers, with the added burden of being a toy. The worst part is that he couldn't tell anyone, because he would be tossed into the scrap heap otherwise.
* {{BFS}}: As a human, his main weapon is a sword nearly as large as him, fitting for a skilled gladiator.
* BrokenAce: He's Dressrosa strongest fighter and the best gladiator ever seen in the Corrida Colosseum, but he's also full of regret and self-loathing for his murderous past and considers himself unworthy of having a loving family and a happy life. It didn't help that, when he was a gladiator, the crowd kept hating him for the same reasons.
* ChickMagnet: When he was a royal guard, many ladies swooned for him but he always refused their advances.
* TheComicallySerious: Some of the flashbacks to his and Rebecca's past show him in this light, due to being so nervous around Scarlett and his attempts to cheer Rebecca up.
* CondemnedContestant: Like some RealLife Roman gladiators, he was originally a criminal who was sentenced into the arena. He was given the chance to win his freedom if he could win 100 consecutive wins. Despite having done so, he chose to stay due to the people's hatred for him.
* CurbStompBattle: His fight with Diamante lasts for a while because he tries to protect and prevent Rebecca from soiling her hands. The moment Robin arrives and keeps Rebecca safe, nothing Diamante throws at Kyros works, and the moment the latter gets in range, Diamante goes down in one hit.
* {{Determinator}}: He gets hit by a lot of falling SpikeBallsOfDoom during his fight with Diamante and keeps on going, saying that no real warrior would be intimidated by such attacks, while Diamante looks on in shock.
* DisappearedDad: Played with. Rebecca doesn't have any memories of Kyros, her father, and thus believes herself to have grown up fatherless, not counting [[ParentalSubstitute Thunder Soldier]]. In truth, she lost her memories pf him after he got turned into a toy, the same one that took care of her after her mother died. When Kyros is turned back into a human and Rebecca regains her memories, she bursts into tears at the sudden realization that she always had her father at her side.
* DotingParent: In Rebecca's childhood, Kyros at first refused to touch her, not wanting to soil such a pure angel [[TheseHandsHaveKilled with his dirty hands]], and cried from happiness whenever he played with her. Following Scarlett's death, Kyros, transformed into a toy, .took care of Rebecca as she grew up even if she didn't recognize or even remember him.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: As a teen, Kyros was a criminal who lived on the streets, then became a gladiator but was hated by everyone because of his past crimes. He found some happiness when he became a royal guard and then married Scarlett in secret and had a daughter with her, and, while he kept self-loathing and thinking himself to be unworthy of it, he had an happy life. Unfortunately, when the Donquixote Pirates arrived, he was turned into a toy and forgotten by everyone, including his wife, who got killed shortly after, and his daughter. After enduring and fighting Doflamingo's tyranny for ten years, Luffy ends Doflamingo's rule, Kyros is turned back into a human and gets to live happily with his daughter, who chooses by her own will to stay with him rather than being a princess.
* EveryScarHasAStory: Kyros received a single scar in his fight with king Riku, who was fighting incognito. Upon recognizing his king, Kyros dropped his guard for a moment out of shock and was hit. Afterwards, Riku offers Kyros the chance to become a better person and the position of army commander.
* {{Expy}}: His one-legged toy form is taken directly from the eponymous character in Literature/TheSteadfastTinSoldier.
* FaceOfAThug: Kyros's face is rough and lacks eyebrows, making him look like an evil person. While he's a good person, he was a criminal as a teenager.
* FailureKnight: Thunder Soldier is extremely adamant in his desire to protect Rebecca because, when he was still human, despite being Dressrosa's strongest fighter, he failed to protect his king, who was dethroned, and his wife, who was killed.
* FlawedPrototype: Played with. Thunder Soldier is the first toy Sugar ever created, and one of the few not compelled by a Geas to obey the Family, though only because Sugar didn't start giving orders to the newly transformed toys at the time.
* {{Foil}}: Kyros acts as a contrast to Diamante, who is also his arch-enemy for having killed his wife, Scarlett. Both are champions in the Corrida Colosseum but, while Kyros fights fairly with only his sword, Diamante uses his Devil Fruit to set traps and tricks to win. This is emphasized in their fight, where Diamante keeps Kyros on the edge by using said tricks. After Diamante decides to engage fairly in direct combat, he gets struck down bywith a single strike from Kyros.
* ForcedTransformation: Like all living toys, Thunder Soldier is one of the many victims of Sugar's Hobby-Hobby fruit, although he remains a fearful warrior.
* FormerTeenRebel: Deconstructed. In his early teens, Kyros is a violent misfit who killed people, but King Riku Doldo brings him to a better path. After becoming a better person, Kyros reveals he killed those people to avenge his friend. However, Dressrosa citizens and Kyros himself would never forget his past as a murderer, and for this reason he develops a huge guilt complex that prevents him from leaving his gladiator life and makes him think he's unworthy to be a father or just to hold a baby in his hands.
* FourStarBadass: After fighting Kyros directly in the arena, king Riku granted him the position as Dressrosa army commander. This allowed him to meet Scarlett, the woman he later married.
* GenerationXerox: Like his daughter, Kyros was a gladiator who, despite his incredible skills in the Colosseum, was widely hated by the audience. However, Kyros made sure that Rebecca didn't grew up like him, and taught her how to avoid attack and not hurt anyone.
* GreaterNeedThanMine: When he meets Mansherry, she notes that he's heavily wounded and she wants to heal him, but he replies that there are many other people in Dressrosa that might need it more than he does.
* HandicappedBadass: Even as a one-legged toy, he can still escape the police and get around effortlessly, although his frail tin body does hinder him. When he returns human, still without a leg, he keeps the terrifying power he had when he was a gladiator and Doflamingo gives him a bounty equal to Zoro's.
* HappilyMarried: Despite not feeling worthy of it, Kyros had a mutual loving marriage with Scarlett until she was killed. Scarlett even gave up her royal status just to live with him.
* HeartbrokenBadass: Kyros' wife was killed ten years before the events of the Dressrosa Arc, when the Donquixote Pirates invaded Dressrosa, and he still mourns her death. He finds some peace after he defeats Diamante, the man who killed her, and avenges her.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Albeith a former criminal and gladiator, Kyros main weapon is a classic sword that shows how more heroic he is.
* HiddenDepths:
** Introduced as a criminal toy, he's quickly revealed to know Rebecca from his past, but the latter's tears upon seeing him again and the fact that he himself is unable to cry, imply that their past isn't a pretty one. In truth, he is the legendary gladiator Kyros - who won three thousand straight battles in the Colosseum without suffering a single blow - who married princess Scarlett and had a child together: Rebecca. However, everyone forgot his existence when Sugar turned him into a toy, and Scarlett was killed by one of Doflamingo's pirates. So Kyros was forced to raise Rebecca by himself without telling her who he really was, lest he be tossed on the scrap heap.
** Despite appearing as a strong and brave warrior, Kyros is full of self-deprecation for having killed in his youth, and always considers himself unworthy of everything good he has, from his marriage to his daughter.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Kyros, a very muscular man, married the petite and slender Scarlett. The size difference is very noticeable when they are together.
* IHaveNoIdeaWhatImDoing: When Usopp asks him what the Operation Dressrosa SOP (defeating Sugar of Donquixote Family and supposedly turning every toy back to normal) entails, Thunder Soldiers replies that he doesn't know and only suspects that everything will turn upside down once it happens. Luckily, the plan works, albeith thanks to major luck.
* IOweYouMyLife: Kyros is very devoted to King Riku because he gave him the chance of a better life and amend of his crimes while everyone else hated him.
* ImprobableAge: Kyros became the strongest gladiator in the history of the Corrida Colosseum when he was still in his early twenties and defeated thousands of warriors with much more experience than him without getting hurt once.
* InsecureLoveInterest: When Scarlett fell in love with him, Kyros refused her advances because he believed that, due to his past as a murderer, he wasn't good enough for her.
* ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: While he hates Doflamingo as much as everyone else, Kyros holds a particular grudge for Diamante, one of Doflamingo's top officers who killed his wife. During the climax of the Dressrosa Arc, Kyros confronts Diamante, while also protecting his daughter, and defeats him.
* LifeOrLimbDecision: Downplayed. When Doflamingo was about to kill King Riku, Kyros cut off his chained leg to save his king. Unfortunately, he [[AllForNothing got turned into a toy shortly after]].
* LivingLegend: Kyros is the strongest gladiator in the history of the Corrida Colosseum, holding an undefeated streak of 3000 victories — including fighting a giant and a Fish-man, the latter while underwater — and has a bronze statue to honor his "memory". During his entire career, he was only hit once, and only because he recognized that his latest opponent was King Riku in disguise. He's so strong that Doflamingo gives him a bounty as high as Zoro's. Ironically, when he was turned into a toy, everyone forgot about him and is aware of his existance thanks to his statue in the Corrida Colosseum.
* LivingToys: He is one of many living toys in Dressrosa and the one who gets the most screentime. As a whole, Thunder Soldier/Kyros represents the people who have been turned into toys and forgotten by their loved ones.
* LukeIAmYourFather: After many chapters, it's revealed that Thunder Soldier is Rebecca's biological father, Scarlett's husband, and King Riku's son-in-law, making him a member of the Riku royal family and one of the main targets of the Donquixote family. Rebecca realizes it when Kyros is turned human again and she regains the memories of him, crying out of happiness that her father has always been with her.
* MadeOfIron: During his fight with Diamante, the latter hits Kyros with multiple attacks, including a rain of iron spiky balls, but Kyros endures all of them. Diamante himself remains in disbelief in the face of Kyros's toughness.
* ManlyTears: Kyros is one of the manliest characters in the series, but that doesn't stop him from expressing his emotions. After a decade of Doflamingo's tyranny is brought to an end, Kyros' tears show his relief without removing from his manliness.
* MorphicResonance: Kyros cut off his left leg to free himself and rush at Doflamingo but got turned into a toy soldier that misses its left leg as well, making clear to everyone who he is when he's turned back.
* NervesOfSteel: When he was human, he cut off his own leg without a second thought to have a chance at killing Doflamingo and protect king Riku.
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: Tragically, despite his wife dying in his hands, Kyros was turned into a toy and forgotten by everyone, which meant they couldn't properly say goodbye. To make it even more tragic, as a toy, Kyros couldn't even cry or feel Scarlett's body.
* NiceGuy: Scaring children away from the Corrida Colosseum is rather harsh, but justified, seeing how violent the fights can get during tournaments. He's also really kind overall, helpful, and as a toy, loves making people laugh.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Thunder Soldier saved Rebecca from kidnappers when she was a child, but because he stepped into a human's house in the process, something forbidden for a toy, he was branded as a criminal and couldn't see Rebecca anymore except sometimes in secret.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Nobody, including Kyros himself, would let him live down the fact that he murdered someone in his youth to avenge his friend. In his entire gladiatorial career, people kept booing him in spite of his huge victory streak.
* OneManArmy: When he was an army commander, Kyros defeated an entire pirate crew all by himself to protect Scarlett, who then [[RescueRomance fell in love with him]].
* OutDamnedSpot: Kyros' guilt over his murders never go away, even after he has cleaned his name in the eyes of everyone. As a teen, he became a convict gladiator as punishment and was granted permission to leave after one hundred victories. However, he willingly chose to keep going because he felt that he could never let go of those crimes and the crowd kept booing him. In the present, his mentality still lingers; he feels that he can be the one Dressrosan citizen who can spill out blood when the others love and value peace.
* OverprotectiveDad: He punched a boy for proposing to Rebecca.
* PapaWolf: In the past, Kyros punched a playground bully for harming Rebecca and, of course, he saved her from more violent dangers, including a pack of wild dogs and a pair of kidnappers. Diamante exploits this using cowardly tactics and targeting Rebecca so that Kyros would be forced to protect her and unable to attack him.
* ParentalSubstitute: Subverted. Thunder Soldier took care of Rebecca after she lost her parents at an early age and taught her how to fight. However, it's later revealed he's actually her real father turned into a toy but Rebecca has no way of knowing that. He gets quite stricken when she tells him that he isn't her father, but doesn't reply.
* PhlebotinumRebel: As the result of being the first toy created by Sugar, Thunder Soldier retains his free will and organizes a rebellion to dethrone Doflamingo.
* RedBaron: "Thunder Soldier" is actually an alias he took after becoming a toy. His real name is actually Kyros.
* RescueRomance: Scarlett initially hated Kyros, but grew to love him after he saved her from pirates who had kidnapped her and began acting much nicer to him. After a while, they got married in secret to live a quiet life together.
* RetiredBadass: Kyros retires twice from a life of fighting. After a career as the champion of the Corrida Colosseum and then army commander, Kyros secretly married Scarlett, the heir to the Riku royal family, and the two went to live in a small house in the countryside and had a daughter, Rebecca. However, Doflamingo's rise to power and Scarlett's assassination forced Kyros to get back into action and lead the resistance against Doflamingo. After the Straw Hats end Doflamingo's reign, Kyros retires once again in the same house he lived in with Scarlett, this time with his daughter.
* RollerbladeGood: His only toy leg has a rollerblade to aid in his movement. It helps him into making quick attacks.
* RuggedScar: Kyros has a single scar on his forehead, the only one he received in his gladiatoral career, which shows that he's a tough and experienced fighter.
* SecretRelationship: Scarlett faked her death and married Kyros in secret due to the scandal that would be created by them being together, since she's a princess while he's a former criminal. Subverted because it's revealed that the citizens figured it out quickly, but pretended otherwise out of respect for the couple and their reasons.
* SelfDeprecation: One of his defining traits is the low self-esteem he has due to his past as a violent thug when he was 15 and his gladiator career, during which he killed a lot of people. Because his hands are tainted with blood, he doesn't consider himself worthy of affection and even refuses to touch Rebecca as an infant, claiming his hands are too dirty for something this pure. When Rebecca expresses her desire to live with him, Kyros objects, until Rebecca embraces him with an hug and Kyros cries tears of joy.
* SenseLossSadness: Thunder Solider considers not being able to feel the warmth of the people he touches (especially that of his dying wife) to be a painful curse. When he's a human again and finally able to feel the warmth of his daughter's hand at the end of the arc, he cries out of joy and relief.
* ShroudedInMyth: Justified. Kyros has a bronze statue in the Dressrosa Colosseum which describes him as the best gladiator who ever fought there, with a winning streak of three thousand, but nobody knows anything else about him. This is because Kyros was turned into a toy by Sugar, and one of the side effects of her power is that everyone forgets about the people who become toys.
* SkywardScream: Having become a toy that can't feel the touch or cry and, when Scarlett died in his arms without remembering him, all that Kyros could do was scream at the sky.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Since he retained his free will after becoming a LivingToy, he manages not just to train and take care of Rebecca, but to organize a rebellion with the Tontatta against Doflamingo, which helps the Straw Hats to destroy the Smile Factory and knock out Sugar. The latter even turns every living toy back to their original form and brings back everyone's memory, revealing Doflamingo's terrible actions against his people.
* SympatheticMurderer: When he was only 15 years old, Kyros murdered a couple of people to avenge his friend but, not knowing the whole story, the guards arrested him and forced him to fight as a gladiator. Years later, he went to his friends' graves and regretted what he did, wishing that people would forget that he was a murderer.
* TearsFromAStone: When Scarlett died in his arms, being a toy, he was physically unable to cry but the raindrops on his face fell like tears, visually showing the emotion he was feeling.
* TearsOfJoy: Every time he cries he's extremely happy, such as when his daughter is born, when Doflamingo is defeated (as he's relieved that the ten year tyranny has finally ended) and in the culmination of his and Rebecca's character arcs: when his daughter tells him she doesn't care about his criminal record and gives up her princess status so they can live together.
* TheseHandsHaveKilled: The main source of Kyros's angst is the murder he commited as a teenager, even if it was to avenge his friends, that made him hated by everyone. Kyros never forgives himself for his actions and believes himself to be so impure that he doesn't even want to touch and spoil his daughter with his dirty hands.
* TrainingThePeacefulVillagers: Downplayed. Thunder Soldier realized he couldn't protect Rebecca forever given his fragile tin body, so he trained her but only to defend herself and dodge attacks, while he didn't teach her anything that could kill others.
* TwoAliasesOneCharacter: Thunder Soldier and Kyros are introduced, respectively, as a criminal toy who wants to remove Doflamingo from the throne and as the best gladiator to ever fight in the Corrida Colosseum. In chapter 739, it's not only revealed that Kyros was turned into a toy and took the alias of Thunder Soldier, but that he's also Rebecca's father and King Riku's son-in-law.
* UnableToCry: Thunder Soldier is more than willing to cry when he sees Rebecca crying herself, but is physically unable to. So when he finally return to being a human again and gets the chance to cry again after Doflamingo is defeated, he grasps it with both hands.
* UnPerson: Like any other victims of Sugar's toy morphing, nobody remembers his real persona anymore and he can't reveal his true identity to anyone, otherwise he would be thrown into the scrap heap. Therefore, he takes care of Rebecca without the latter recognizing him as her father.
* UnstoppableRage: Although subtle, Kyros is visibly angry at the sight of Diamante and gets even angrier when the latter targets Rebecca with dirty tactics. With sheer rage, Kyros resists everything Diamante throws at him and then strikes him down with a single swing.
* WasOnceAMan: Just like every other toy in Dressrosa, he used to be a human but Sugar transformed into a toy and everyone forgot about him. Fortunately, he, along with all the other toys, regain their human forms when Usopp knocks Sugar out.
* YourHeadASplode: Defied. Gladius grabs Thunder Soldier and inflates his head to make it explode, but Luffy stops him just in time.

!!Tontatta Tribe
[[folder:In General]]
A hidden tribe of Dwarves that live on the island Green Bit just off of Dressrosa. Being so small they fit in someone's palm yet faster than the eye can see, they can remain unseen by the people of Dressrosa and are believed to be fairies. They are lead by Gancho and their warrior Leo. Despite their freakish strength, the Dwarves are incredibly gullible and the Donquixote Pirates have used that to exploit some of them as well as captured their Princess Mansherry. Thus their comrades are working to rebel against Doflamingo.
----
* BadassAdorable: Cute little people capable of beating up characters several times their size with their SuperSpeed and SuperStrength.
* BigDamnHeroes: They all hold the Marines back in Chapter 798 from trying to capture the fleeing pirates.
* BladeOnAStick: Most of them use small lances as weapons.
* ElmuhFuddSyndwome: They speak like this in the English version of the manga.
* TheFairFolk: They are regarded as fairies and known for stealing people's belongings.
* GreenThumb: Green Bit's lushness is due to their nigh-supernatural ability to tend any plant they come across, and it's that very skill that has them enslaved to grow SMILE trees.
* GullibleLemmings: Their [[GangOfHats hats]]. Each of them is very gullible, and believes everything they hear, be it from an ally or a foe. Of course, this means Usopp has the time of his life with them. It's also DeconstructedTrope as their naive nature can be exploited by enemies in order to reveal secret info.
* {{Keigo}}: They all speak like this, but say "resu" instead of "desu".
* {{Lilliputians}}: They're ''tiny'' humanoids with pointy noses and bushy tails. They even tie Nico Robin just like the Lilliputians did to Gulliver.
* MeaningfulName: Tonta is the Spanish, Italian, and Catalan female term for 'fool'. And these dwarves happen to be very gullible. They not only believed one of ''Usopp's'' lies, but the dwarves that are enslaved in Doflamingo's SMILE factory think they're making medicine for the imprisoned Mansherry.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Despite their child-like appearance and behavior, Leo, Kabu, and Inhel have been around since Viola and Scarlett's childhood, indicating that Dwarves have longevity.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: These little people are strong enough to toss an ordinary human around like a rag doll...problem is, their main enemies, the Donquixote Family, are run by humans that are anything ''but'' normal.
* PeeveGoblins: If an item goes missing and you don't notice until later, the Tontatta Tribe did it.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: Despite being small enough to fit in your hands they are strong enough to smash concrete with their fists. So you can forget about the [[PersonOfMassDestruction city block and the architecture occupying it.]]
* ShroudedInMyth: Invoked -- as an apology for the oppression of their tribe, the first King of the Riku Dynasty (about 800 years ago) allowed them to steal anything they want from the kingdom and he'd label them as "fairy's hijinks". Said myth continues to the present day.
* TailSlap: They can do a technique called "Tail Hammer" that is strong enough to knock down a grown man.
* ThanksForTheMammaries: When they're investigating Robin for hidden items, they go so far as to dive into her mini dress. Later on, Gancho somehow managed to hide in between her breasts, without her or Usopp noticing until he speaks.
* ThisMeansWar: They were overjoyed when they learned that [[spoiler: Doflamingo's resigned from being king. But when they learned that the information was false]], this drives them to finally rebel against Doflamingo and go to war against him.
%%* UndyingLoyalty: To Thunder Soldier, their "captain" in their mission.

[[folder:Princess Mansherry]]
!!Princess Mansherry
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AiNonaka (JP) Creator/DaniChambers (EN)
!!!'''Age:''' 25
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 717 (Manga), Episode 647 (Anime)
!!!'''Devil Fruit:''' [[HealingHands Heal-Heal Fruit]]
[[quoteright:335:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mansherry_anime.png]]
The princess of the Tontatta, the Dwarf tribe that live on Green Bit, next to Dressrosa. She was captured by Doflamingo because of her healing and restoration abilities granted by the Heal-Heal Fruit (''Chiyu Chiyu no Mi''), which made her an important asset for Doflamingo's operations, and is kept hostage to force the Tontattas to work for them.
Mansherry is adorable even by dwarf standards, with long golden hair and large eyes, and no one can resist her cuteness, and is very nice to everyone but Leo, for whom she has a crush obvious to everyone but Leo himself.
-----
* OneHundredPercentAdorationRating: Mansherry is so sweet and nice that all of the tontattas adore her, except Leo, and those who meet her are quickly captured by her adorable appearance and personality. Her popularity is exploited by the Donquixote Pirates, who kidnapped her and tell the tontattas she's ill and can be healed only with the SMILES, forcing the tontattas to work for them.
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Leo. He's insensitive and oblivious, she's a {{Tsundere}}.
* BlushSticker: Mansherry has perpetual blush stickers that look like they were scribbled on with a crayon.
* CommonalityConnection: Quick to befriend Shirahoshi, Vivi and Dalton over their shared friendship with Luffy.
* CutenessProximity: She's so cute that she manages to briefly induce this in her captives. [[spoiler: Even [[NotSoStoic Vice Admiral Tsuru]] and her crew aren't immune to her cuteness.]]
* DamselInDistress: She spent most of the arc imprisoned by Doflamingo's forces and the Dwarves were on a mission to rescue her.
* GirlishPigtails: Very girlish and innocent, and her very thick pigtails shows that.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's blonde and definitely not as bad as Leo describes. Quite the opposite actually.
* HealingHands: She has eaten the Heal-Heal Fruit, which allows her to heal any living thing instantly. Normally, her powers work on living things however they could also be used to restore non-living things as well albeit at the [[CastFromLifespan cost of her lifespan]].
%%* LadyAndTheKnight: Lady to Leo's Knight.
* LivingMacguffin: She is imprisoned by the Donquixote pirates for her potent healing abilities and to force the Tontattas to work for her. As a result, one of the main objectives of Operation S.O.P is to free her so they can stop the production of [=SMILEs=].
* NiceGirl: Contrary to what Leo believes, she's actually a very kind and compassionate princess.
* PersonalityPower: Mansherry is one of the nicest characters in the series, has been described as nice to everyone (except Leo) and has the power to heal people and non-living beings.
* PrincessClassic: Even more than Shirahoshi. She's unapologetically nice, feminine and caring, coming complete with healing powers. The only exception to this is her {{Tsundere}} tendencies, and that's only around Leo.
* SacrificialRevivalSpell: Somewhat: She can turn donated blood into dandelion-like balls of healing. [[spoiler:This also makes the donators becoming easily weakened if done too much on each person.]]
* SwissArmyTears: One way in which Mansherry's Heal-Heal Fruit powers can be applied. Once Giolla realizes this, she starts hurting Mansherry to invoke this trope on the defeated Doflamingo officers.
* {{Tsundere}}:
** When Mansherry first appears in person, her personality doesn't match the "bitter, selfish, cruel, spoiled, and ill-tempered" description she was given earlier. She's actually very sweet, to the point of inducing CutenessProximity in villains and refuses to help Giolla revive the Officers. Then the first thing Leo says to her after catching her in a BridalCarry is she's gained weight, earning him a punch to the face and Kabu thinking how some things never change.
** The next chapter makes it clear she's a "Sweet" type, being deredere to everyone else only really showing her Tsuntsun side to Leo out of frustration to his [[ObliviousToLove obliviousness]].
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: Turns out Mansherry wasn't imprisoned in the SMILE factory. Instead, she was in the royal palace.

* FallGuy: He became one for Doflamingo, who used his strings to literally puppet him into attacking and killing his people so that Doflamingo can "save" the populace and become their new "good" king.
* TheGoodKing: His country may have been poor, but it was thriving and his people loved him.
* HatedByAll: After the incident that Doflamingo caused, he and his family were ridiculed and laughed at. After discovering Doflamingo's atrocities, the Dressrosan people start trusting him again.
* MyGreatestFailure: Regards his slaughter of the Dressrosan citizens as this, even though it was Doflamingo who was controlling him to murder them. This affected him so much he had nightmares of that night every day, and refused to take the throne even after Doflamingo was finally defeated. Elizabello and the people of Dressrosa convince him otherwise.
* NerfArm: Ricky fights with only a blunt sword, and knocks people out with the hilt rather than hit them conventionally.
* RousingSpeech: Delivers one in Chapter 785; he announced to his people that there's still hope that they can escape the nightmare that is coming down on them all, that they have a lot of great warriors to thank and Luffy in particular to put faith on, and to keep running and surviving with the last of their strengths.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He invokes this once during the battle in Dressrosa, saying that since he (feels like he) is no longer endangered, he's going down from the plateau he's on, trying to be useful to his people. Even before that, he's the king who really cares about peace and welfare of his country. He's also a trained Colosseum fighter.
* ShutUpHannibal: When Pica taunts him about how much of a bad king he was and how his pacifistic ways lead to his kingdom's downfall, he retaliates by saying that a country that is built on war and violence would have no future, and he would choose death rather than murdering people even if it may keep him alive. Although he does admit his own helplessness and says that he's not going to take the throne again.
* TearsOfJoy:
** He cried these when his granddaughter was born.
** In the present, he cries these again when [[spoiler:Doflamingo is defeated.]]
* TechnicalPacifist: Somewhat. He's okay with fighting as a sport in the Colosseum(and he has done so himself), but he really values peace, and has worked so hard for it that his kingdom has never experienced war for a long time.

!!Scarlett
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/WakanaYamazaki (JP), Gloria Benavides (EN)
!!!'''Age:''' 25
[[quoteright:165:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scarlett_anime.png]]
Scarlett was former Crowned Princess of Dressrosa, Kyros's wife, Rebecca's mother, and Viola's older sister. She was killed when her daughter was only a child.
----
* BigSisterInstinct: When she was still under the belief that Kyros was a dangerous murderer, she warned him to stay away from Viola.
* BodyguardCrush: Kyros was assigned as her and Viola's bodyguard after his release from the Colosseum. Scarlett was initially distrustful of him due to his criminal past, but that quickly changed when he saved her from pirates who had kidnapped her.
* DefrostingIceQueen: When they first met, Scarlett was skeptical over Kyros, seeing him only as a murderer. But, when he valiantly saved her from kidnappers, she changed her mind and eventually fell in love with him.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: In her husband's arms, in fact. However, since he had been turned into a toy by Sugar, she died without recognizing him. The poor man was devastated by this.
* EverybodyKnewAlready: Turns out, the adults of Dressrosa knew how Scarlett faked her death and have been living with Kyros ever since.
* FakingTheDead: She faked death by illness so that she could marry Kyros, though her family was in on the charade. And as later revealed, it didn't take long for the citizens to catch on to the truth either, though they kept their mouths shut out of respect.
* HappilyMarried: She had a mutual loving marriage with Kyros while she was alive.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: The Tiny Girl (petite, slender woman) to Kyros' Huge Guy (a muscular {{Hunk}}).
* TheLostLenore: To Kyros, as he still loves and mourns her in the present dearly.
* MamaBear: Scarlett did everything in her power to protect her daughter from the violence in Dressrosa.
* MeaningfulName: "Scarlett" can be another term for red. And she had reddish-pink hair.
* MissingMom: To Rebecca, as she was murdered when her daughter was a child.
* NiceGirl: She was known as a caring, sweet person by her subjects and close loved ones.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted; she shares her name with the gorilla from Shiki's pirate crew (albeit the gorilla's name is spelled "Scarlet", with one "t").
* RescueRomance: Scarlett began to see Kyros in a new (and romantic) light after he saved her.
* SecretRelationship: She and Kyros [[FakingTheDead faked her death]] and married in secret due to the scandal that would be created of them being together. It didn't technically stay secret for long, since the citizens soon found out about the truth anyway, but they decided to pretend they didn't know out of respect.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Looks exactly like her daughter with the only difference being hair color.
* ThroughHisStomach: She started making handmade bentos for Kyros after falling in love with him.
* UptownGirl: She (a princess) fell in love with Kyros (an ex-criminal turned soldier).

[[folder:Viola]]
!!Viola
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MieSonozaki (JP), Creator/CristinaValenzuela (EN)
!!!'''Age:''' 29
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 703 (Manga), Episode 632 (Anime)
!!!'''Devil Fruit:''' [[PerceptionFilter Glare-Glare Fruit]]
[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/viola_anime.png]]
A beautiful dancer from Dressrosa, who Sanji met shortly after the crew arrived on the island. She has eaten the Glare-Glare Fruit (''Giro Giro no Mi''), a Devil Fruit that allows her to see through people, both [[XRayVision literally]] and [[LivingLieDetector figuratively]]. But there's more to her than what she looks like...
-----
* AccentAdaptation: She is given a Latin American Spanish accent in the Funimation dub.
* ActionGirl: She's good enough at fighting to be a ranked lieutenant of the Donquixote Family. [[spoiler:Thankfully for the heroes and especially Sanji, she defects from them quite quickly into the Dressrosa Arc.]]
* ArchEnemy: Hates Doflamingo just as much as every member of her family. First [[spoiler:he ransacked her home]], then he [[spoiler:destroyed her family's name]], then [[spoiler:his thugs murdered her sister]], and then he forced her [[spoiler:to work for him as an assassin]] in exchange for her father's life. When she sees the best chance of taking him down ''in years'', she doesn't hesitate in betraying the Donquixote Family in order to take that chance.
* CombatStilettos: She wears them and isn't afraid to use them as weapons.
* CoolAunt: [[spoiler:To Rebecca. Viola was caring for her niece since the latter was a toddler and supported her decision to live with Kyros.]]
* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:She loses pretty badly to Doflamingo even though he was barely still standing from fighting Luffy and she was 100%. However, seeing as how he's pretty much an implacable monster, it's understandable. Also, on the flip end, she delivered a Curb Stomp to Sanji earlier on ([[WouldntHitAGirl though for obvious reasons on his part]]).]]
* DanceBattler: She incorporates dancing into her fighting style.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:Doflamingo tore her family apart and she was forced to work alongside him]].
* DatingCatwoman: [[http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/SBS_Volume_83#Chapter_833.2C_Page_118 In an SBS segment]], Oda heavily implies that she once had a sexual relationship with Doflamingo, the same man who had her sister murdered, overthrew [[TheGoodKing her father]], and forced her to work as an assassin in exchange for her father's life, but couldn't be brought up in the story proper because the target audience is so young.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Violet was ''absolutely crucial'' to Doflamingo's scheme to defeat the Straw Hat-Law Alliance, and her defection wasn't even considered by Doflamingo's higher ups and thus has thrown a huge wrench into Doflamingo's plans... And now they can't catch her, because Violet's Devil Fruit allows her to literally see them coming from miles away, ''and'' she can read their minds to see their revised plans, allowing her to stay ahead of them.
* DirtyMindReading: Accidentally, when she read Sanji's mind and found out what his mind was mostly filled with.
* DoesNotLikeMen: Nowhere near Hancock's level, but she has great cynicism towards men, mostly because she has often been lied to. She seems to make an exception for Sanji after he tells her he'd never doubt a woman's tears.
* DrivenToSuicide: After Diamante informed her that he killed Scarlett, it's strongly implied Viola was going to commit suicide after being forced into Donquixote's servitude and losing her only free relative, but Tank Lepanto stopped her, promising to protect her throughout her ordeal.
* FallenPrincess: She's a former princess. [[spoiler:She actually would've eventually been a Badass Queen since her older sister forfeited the claim to their father's throne by faking her death. Unfortunately, Doflamingo killed her sister for ''real'' some time later ''and'' took the throne. After Doflamingo is defeated, she regains her status as princess. And later becomes heir to Dressrosa again as Rebecca abdicated her position to live with her father.]]
* FemmeFatale: Maintained this facade as a member of the Donquixote Pirates, though Sanji easily sees through it.
* GoodAllAlong: Turns out that she made a deal with Doflamingo to [[spoiler:serve him in exchange for her father's life]].
* HeelFaceTurn: Because of Sanji's genuine belief in her and her tears, she turns against the Doflamingo family.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: She may be an assassin, and [[WomanScorned doesn't take kindly to men doing her wrong]], but she is unwillingly working for Doflamingo, and she's actually a rather nice young woman. Sanji sees through her facade, causing her HeelFaceTurn.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: In conjunction with her dance moves, she fights with her pointed stilettos and a knife hidden in her hair decorations.
* KickChick: She likes kicking.
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Her gown doesn't stop her from fighting.
* LadyOfWar: She's able to hold her own in battle and is quite elegant in doing so.
* LivingLieDetector: She can read other people's minds, allowing her to easily see through any lies.
* LostInTranslation: The reason why she can turn her tears into whales is due to a Japanese pun -- the word "Mekujira" (literally Eye Whale) which stands for "eye's corner".
* MagicalEye: Her Devil Fruit powers basically turns her eyes into this.
* MeaningfulName: Her name can either be a nod to "ultraviolets" (which is often used to see things normally invisible to the human eye) or to Violet Gibson, the woman who tried to assassinate Benito Mussolini.
* TheMole: [[spoiler: She only agreed to work with Doflamingo in exchange of keeping her father alive; once she manages to find outside help (Straw Hats in this case) she works against her employer.]]
* MrExposition: Female version. After her HeelFaceTurn, she becomes this throughout the rest of the Dressrosa Arc, using her powers to explain the ongoings of the country to her allies.
* MsFanservice: She is introduced as a dancing girl and her first real act is to essentially seduce Sanji.
* PerceptionFilter: By holding her hands into a goggle shape and putting them over her eyes, she can "see intently" the different nature of the world and the people in it. Granted, it looks rather silly, but it's effective as hell.
* PintSizedKid: Unusually [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in the flashback to when she was 10 years old. Kids in One Piece are usually depicted as being cartoonishly toddler sized, but for whatever reason, Viola was drawn with a much more realistic height at that age. Compare the 10 year old Viola [[http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Viola?file=Viola_at_Age_10.png here]] to a more typical One Piece 10 year old [[http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Sabo?file=Dragon_Saves_Sabo.png here]].
* TheReveal: Violet's true name is [[spoiler:Viola]], and she is [[spoiler:the daughter of King Riku Dold III]], making her [[spoiler:a member of the Riku royal family, a princess, and the aunt of Rebecca]]. She's also the reason why [[spoiler:her father is still alive]]. Her Devil Fruit abilities interested Doflamingo, so she was able to [[spoiler:save her father's life in return for service to the Donquixote family.]]
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She is an assassin and [[spoiler:helps the Straw Hats defeat Doflamingo]].
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem:[[spoiler: Viola uses her own connection with her old acquaintance who is part of the World Government against Doflamingo]].
* SuperSenses: Her Devil Fruit also allows her to have different "viewpoints", one of which is a birds-eye view which spans 40 kilometers, or roughly 24.85 miles. This means she can observe anything on and near the island (which, to put into perspective, is almost [[HyperAwareness the same range as Eneru's Observation Haki]] pre-timeskip).
* SwissArmyTears: They can ''turn into whales and be used as projectiles''.
* TargetSpotter: When [[spoiler:Usopp]] is going to snipe [[spoiler:Sugar]] across a mountain range, Violet acts as this to him. Her eye powers are very much helpful in determining the target's exact location.
* TearsOfJoy: When [[spoiler:Sugar is knocked out and everyone returns to human, Viola regains her memories of Kyros. Cue the young woman crying tears of joy at seeing her brother-in-law again, and realizing why the Thunder Soldier had watched over Rebecca all this time]].
* {{Telepathy}}: The mind-reading type. She can also make other people read ''her'' memories.
* WhenSheSmiles: Like Robin, she actually smiles relatively often, but her genuine smiles make her look really cute.
* XRayVision: One of the powers granted by her Devil Fruit. She can see through people's clothes and skin easily.

[[folder:"The Undefeated Woman" Rebecca]]
!!"The Undefeated Woman" Rebecca
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Music/MegumiHayashibara (JP), Creator/ChristineMarieCabanos (EN)
!!!'''Age:''' 16
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 704 (Manga) Episode 633 (Anime)
[[quoteright:230:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rebecca_anime.png]]
[[caption-width-right:230:[[labelnote:Click here to see her as a Lady-in-waiting.]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rebecca_anime_infobox.png]][[/labelnote]]
A prideful female warrior who has joined the Dressrosa tournament at Corrida Colosseum, with intentions of winning the Flame-Flame Fruit and killing Doflamingo. In the end, she didn't succeed, but she did help the others. Like Violet, Rebecca's past has personal ties with the royal family and those connected with her.
-----
* AccentAdaptation: She is given a Latin American Spanish accent in the Funimation dub.
* AdaptationalCurves: The anime has conspicuously enlarged her breasts.
* AerithAndBob: A mild case with her and her family's names. "Rebecca" and "Scarlett" are fairly common English/American names[[note]]the former has roots in Hebrew and Arab Peninsula[[/note]], but her aunt is "Viola" (named after the instrument, but typically an Italian female first name when given as a name), her father "Kyros" (a Greek name), her grandfather "Dold", and the entire family's name is Riku (Finnish/Japanese).
* BadassAdorable: She's a very cute young girl, especially when she softens up near Luffy. She's also, despite her aversion to fighting, skilled enough to defeat and survive against many powerful and blood-thirsty opponents in the Corrida Colosseum.
* BadassPacifist: She's the first character seen with a totally Observation Haki-based fighting style, and thus fights by ''dodging'' her opponents in creative ways that result in them taking out themselves or each other. [[spoiler:[[ChekhovsSkill This ability makes her]] [[TacticalRockPaperScissors the perfect counter]] to the rampaging Cavendish, as she's just fast enough to take a non-fatal blow to her helmet while everyone else gets cut down, winning her the D-Block round.]]
* BareYourMidriff: Given what she's wearing...at Corrida Colosseum.
* BraidsOfAction: Under her helmet.
* ChainmailBikini: Almost literally: she wears nothing but a paludamentum (mantle), helmet, greaves and bracers. Her body armor consists of scaled brassiers and loincloth.
* CombatClairvoyance: Is hinted to have Observation Haki.
* CommonalityConnection: She quickly bonds with Vivi, Coby, Shirahoshi, and Dalton over their shared friendship with Luffy.
* CoolHelmet: Likes to wear one in combat. It actually saved her life during the D-Block round.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Her fighting style is extremely useful in tournament matches, during which she can trick opponents into falling out of the ring, using their strength against them and her speed to her advantage. However, because her fighting style lacks any proper ''attacks'', it is completely inadapted to regular fights.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: She lived on the point of starvation with her mother, then [[spoiler:her mother was killed and she too was hunted. Only the one-legged toy soldier was her friend as they fought to survive under Doflamingo's rule.]]
* DramaticIrony: When the Thunder Soldier comes to her and dissuades her from participating in the tournament (and calling her "not an adult despite 16 already"), she understandably gets enraged, stating that they cannot wait any longer since everyone is losing hope, deriding the statue of Kyros as nothing but a fictional, idealized soldier that represents the hope that the convict gladiators may one day escape captivity, and then says that [[YoureNotMyFather he isn't even her real father]], but just a one-legged toy, which visibly hurts them both. [[spoiler:The irony being that Thunder Soldier is actually Kyros -- ''and her biological father''. We don't learn the former until the end of the chapter, but the point still stands.]]
* DeadlyDodging: Her main method of combat in the Colosseum is by dodging her enemies' attacks and leave them helpless from the recovery to strike back.
* EasilyForgiven: She tries to kill Luffy, but he shrugs it off because she didn't do it out of malice but rather desperation, her attempt was weak-willed, she was extremely outmatched, and she brought him lunch.
* FauxActionGirl: Rebecca has skill, to be sure, but the title of the "Undefeated Woman" results from foes that she can outmaneuver and knock out of the ring. When forced into a situation where she actually has to attack, her performance is lackluster. Justified in that because Scarlett didn't want Rebecca to fight, the Thunder Soldier taught her how to ''defend herself'' as opposed to attacking directly. Also, she's really just a civilian being forced into fights above her level, which is impressive when compared to the rest of the commonfolk, who have walked away maimed, helpless, or not at all.
* FragileSpeedster: She's clearly not as tough as the likes of Luffy or the other competitors, but she's very fast, using that advantage to get them to take each other and themselves out without ever having to strike back. [[spoiler:She's even fast enough to avoid being hit too hard by Hakuba's attacks, granting her victory in her block.]]
* GenerationXerox: Just like her mother [[spoiler:she threw away her status as crown princess so she could live with Kyros. Riku even lampshades it.]]
* HeroicBSOD: She goes through one when [[spoiler:she realizes that Diamante killed her mother, Scarlett]].
* HiddenDepths: Rebecca seems to have a mysterious past involving Spartan, Thunderous Soldier of Rage, and Doflamingo. To a lesser extent, with Kyros (a legendary combatant) and Ricky as well. [[spoiler:It's revealed that she's a princess of the royal family, Ricky being King Riku (her grandfather), and the Soldier being her father, Kyros, in toy form. And Doflamingo is the one who toppled her grandfather and radically changed Dressrosa into what it is now.]]
* ImNotHungry: Because [[spoiler:her mother died trying to get food for her]].
* InelegantBlubbering: When Luffy shows up to save her [[spoiler:from killing Violet under Doflamingo's control]], she is an understandably very messy crier. Also when she [[spoiler:convinces Kyros to stay as her father despite his guilt]], to the point that mucus is dripping over her mouth.
* LadyInWaiting: She's serving as this to her aunt, as they're preparing to attend the Reverie. [[spoiler:Considering Rebecca herself forfeited her title as princess to live with her father.]]
* TheLawOfDiminishingDefensiveEffort: Inverted (change "defensive" to "offensive") -- she usually doesn't attack much on her own (outside of CounterAttack), but she starts to charge at Diamante. This change of strategy is noted by the commentator.
* LukeIAmYourFather:
** Unbeknownst to her, the Thunder Soldier, the toy who raised her as his adoptive daughter, is, in fact, [[spoiler:her ''biological'' father turned into a toy]]. It's stated that the reason Rebecca doesn't know this is because of the amnesia induced by Sugar's power, causing Rebecca to forget all about him as soon as he became a toy. Upon meeting again he decided to withhold the information from her -- probably because toys who attempt to reveal the truth of their identities and their previous human nature are immediately sent to the scrap heap. The aspect of the reveal for the trope is downplayed because he revealed it not to Rebecca, but to the Straw Hats and the Tontatta Tribe.
** Becomes a double doozy when it's revealed -- initially to others, not Rebecca herself -- that the Toy Soldier is ''also'' [[spoiler:the legendary gladiator Kyros, who once fought three thousand straight battles without suffering a single hit]]. Rebecca learns of it after all the toys are transformed back and Rebecca regains the memories about her father.
* MsFanservice: She's a cute girl that fights in the most revealing outfit of the series. She is considered extremely attractive and beautiful by the other gladiators. Plus, the anime makes her more busty.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Rebecca tearfully tells the Thunder Soldier that [[YoureNotMyFather he isn't her father]] when the latter tries to dissuade her from participating in the tournament. She is understandably regretful, knowing that her anger over Doflamingo's false resignation caused her to go too far.
* NerfArm: Like Ricky's sword, hers is also blunt. You see, they're grandpa and granddaughter.
* OhCrap: When she realizes that she went too far during her argument with the Thunder Soldier over her participation in the tournament.
* PluckyGirl: She won't stay long in the Colosseum and honor her mother's wish of not hurting anyone (Thunder Soldier's non-violent training helps too) if she doesn't have that much pluck.
* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: She is actually [[spoiler:the 16 year old daughter of Scarlett and Kyros and the granddaughter of Riku Dold III, therefore being one of the original princesses of Dressrosa.]] And another reason [[spoiler:Doflamingo wants her dead. She loses the "princess" part when she forfeits her title to live with her father at the end of the Dressrosa arc]].
* RedBaron: Aside from the aforementioned "Undefeated Woman" moniker, she's also known as the "Phantom Princess".
* RingOut: This is her main method of disposing of opponents. It's noted that she has never injured any enemy directly because she always does this.
* SinsOfOurFathers: Because her grandfather was the previous king of Dressrosa and everyone resented him, the audiences in the Colosseum are all too happy to ridicule her. That was a FrameUp by Doflamingo, and once the truth is revealed, the people regain respect for the entire Riku family.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her gladiator "armor" is probably the most revealing outfit in the series. The Corrida Colosseum has a weight limit on armor to maximize injuries (and consequently, bloodshed), and Rebecca in particular focuses on speedily outmaneuvering her opponents, but still...
* StrongFamilyResemblance: She [[SheIsAllGrownUp grew up]] to be the spitting image of her late mother Scarlett. It becomes especially jarring when [[spoiler:she regains her title as princess]] and wears an almost identical dress to the one her mom used to wear; you'd almost think Scarlett has come back from the grave. That resemblance even extends to personality, as [[spoiler:both of them threw away their status as princess so they could live with Kyros; a fact Viola and Riku Dold lampshade]].
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: A sixteen-year-old, pink-haired, scantily clad princess who learned pacifism from a mother shot ten years ago who Luffy is falsely accused of kidnapping when she asked to be taken somewhere? Back already, Shirahoshi?
* TearsOfJoy: She lets these out when [[spoiler:she remembers her dad and meets him again, then later when Doflamingo is defeated at last, and a third time when she and Kyros are reunited for good and they decide to live together]].
* ThisIsUnforgivable: When Diamante shoots [[spoiler:Kyros]]'s leg and then makes him get hit by the raining spiky balls, Rebecca is understandably outraged.
* WeakButSkilled: An especially notable case in the series. Because she doesn't want to hurt anyone, she is very weak, but her speed, Observation Haki and skill in making people knock themselves out or lure them into falling out of the ring make up for it, and allows her to survive undefeated in a Colosseum full of powerful and bloodthirsty warriors.
* WingdingEyes: For a brief humorous moment in the Reverie arc, she gets adorable puddle-shaped eyes as Vivi correctly guesses Luffy saved Dressrosa.
* WorthyOpponent: Rebecca seems to feel this way towards Luffy as she said it would be nice if they both progressed to the second round of the tournament.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Well, in the [[ImpossibleHourglassFigure body]], at least. Her face looks believably young, much like Princess Shirahoshi who's the same age (sixteen, for the curious).

* CombatCommentator: His role in the Corrida Colosseum is to serve as a commentator during fights.
* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler: He buys Luffy time by mocking Doflamingo all the while despite knowing what that entails and indeed gets impaled for his trouble. But still keeps spewing vitriol to the bitter end until Luffy re-engages the battle. Thankfully he manages to survive.]]
* InLoveWithYourCarnage: He gets heart-shaped eyes at particularly impressive feats in the Colosseum.

!!!Corrida Colosseum Tournament Participants
[[folder:In General]]
The various gladiators and other fighters participating in the Corrida Colosseum Tournament to get their hands on the [[PlayingWithFire Flame-Flame Fruit]].
----
* ActionGirl: Rebecca and Acilia can more than hold their own; even more when they're teamed up.
* AnnoyingArrows: When Luffy dodges all of Jean Ango's projectile weapons with Observation Haki, they end up lodged in Chinjao's gut. All this does is make him mad; [[CurbStompBattle bye, Jean]].
* BadassCape: A good number of them wear'em, like Rebecca, Cavendish (though his is a CoatCape), Sai, and Elizabello.
* BalefulPolymorph: The failed contestants gets abducted and turned into [[spoiler:toys by Trebol and Sugar]].
* BearHug: Rolling Logan from D Block crushes two opponents' bones this way, being a huge man.
* BerserkButton: Kelly Funk hates it when somebody [[TheNapoleon makes fun of his height]] to the point that he will continue to beat his opponent even after they're unconscious.
* BigDumbBody: Bobby Funk's entire purpose is just to be possessed by Kelly's powers, because Bobby is ridiculously durable even if he can't fight.
* BigLittleBrother: Bobby is the younger of the Funk Brothers and yet he's the taller one (Kelly's height only reaches Bobby's chest).
* BountyHunter: Jean Ango.
* CondemnedContestant: [[spoiler:It's revealed that every loser in the battle gets dumped underground with broken toys after they're tricked with "medical operation".]]
* CrossCounter: Happens with Ideo and Sai once.
* DeadlyDodging: Luffy effortlessly dodges Jean Ango's thrown weapons... which all fly into Chinjao's gut. He then knocked Ango out of the ring.
* EquippableAlly: Kelly of the Funk Brothers. He has the power of the Jacket-Jacket Fruit (''Jake Jake no Mi''), which turns him into a jacket. Anyone who wears him is possessed by him, giving Kelly all of their abilities.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: While some of them are evil, the big named participants would never [[spoiler: betray Usopp and his friends for freeing them from their toy curse and they attacked the ungrateful participants who would try to capture them.]]
* EvilGenius:
** Dagama seems to amount to this, being a very unpleasant [[TheStrategist strategist]] who is not above cheating his way to victory.
** Later on he proves his strategic prowess in the invasion in Doflamingo's palace where he gathers and commands all of the other combatants to stay on guard to ensure that Luffy can pass safely after they fought Doflamingo's forces with seemingly no cooperation.
* EvilSorcerer: The gladiator Mummy from Block D is introduced as a "Sorcerer". The exact nature of said "sorcery" has yet to be revealed.
* FluffyTamer: As usual for him, Luf-- er, Lucy manages to tame The Fighting Bull.
* FluffyTheTerrible: Lucy nicknames him "[[SublimeRhyme Ucy]]" (a pun for the Japanese word for bull, ''ushi'').
* GlassCannon: Kelly Funk also easily goes down from Boo's Hasshouken punch.
* {{Gonk}}: Dagama again. He also happens to resemble [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Eggman]].
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Kelly Funk's Jacket-Jacket Fruit (where his body unzips and unfurls like a jacket) sounds about as useful as [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable taking photographs]] or [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia rotating your shoulders really fast.]] But when your brother is a StoneWall who can tank Haki-infused attacks, it's ''[[FusionDance very]]'' [[LightningBruiser efficient,]] as poor Boo [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown found out the hard way.]]
* KiManipulation: The Chinjao Family employs Haki, aside from Hasshouken.
* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Kelly, when angered, tends to attack whoever angers him even after they're unconscious.
* KingOfBeasts: The Fighting Lion, one of the fighters of the D Block. Orlumbus easily defeats him, though.
* MadeOfDiamond: Bobby Funk. He took an Armament Haki-imbued axe to the back and stays intact, with the axe's hilt snapped in two in the process.
* MuggingTheMonster: Spartan, the star of the Colosseum, upon seeing Luffy, thought he was a puny runt that didn't belong in the tournament and angrily attacked him. [[CurbStompBattle You can probably guess what happens]].
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Kelly and Bobby Funk are based on actual, famous wrestling brothers Wrestling/TerryFunk and Wrestling/DoryFunkJr.
* OhCrap:
** Jean Ango's expression when Chinjao's about to attack him.
** Bellamy's expression when King Elizabello's about to launch his King Punch.
** Heck, the audience and commentator do this many times. Many unexpected things happen here, after all.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Taken to hilarious extremes when ''all of them'' insist that they will personally kill Doflamingo.
* PyroManiac: Damask is described as this, what with his strange ability to breathe fire.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: Kelly Funk after anyone triggers his BerserkButton.
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: [[spoiler: It seems like the Funk Brothers were aiding Luffy when they gave him directions to a shortcut in the tunnels but it led to a dead end. It turns out they intended to betray Luffy and his allies but Doflamingo's string clone comes along and incapacitates the Funk Brothers which ironically saves Luffy.]]
* StoneWall: Bobby Funk may be a minor character, but he has the intriguing distinction of being the first character seen who can resist Haki with his natural defenses; he's simply that tough.
* ThisMeansWar: Dagama declares this after [[spoiler:he's trapped in the underground with the rest of the tourney losers.]].
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: How Jean Ango fights.
* {{Ungrateful Bastard}}s: At first they all worship [[spoiler:Usopp for freeing them from Sugar's toy powers but once Doflamingo puts a price on his head they all seemingly go after him.]] Seriously guys you couldn't wait ten minutes even? [[spoiler:Turned out that only the no-name ones on-panel went after him. Many named ones were off-panel at the time and later prove to still be loyal, except for the Funk Brothers; and even then, many of those who went after him changed their mind and ended up helping Luffy anyway, thanks to Gatz.]]
* {{Vibroweapon}}: The Chinjao family know a martial art called ''Hasshouken'' that makes their ''fists and kicks'' into vibroweapons that can bypass armor and shields.
* YouShallNotPass: They (well, most of them) all rally together to hold Doflamingo's forces and executives so Luffy (and Cavendish, and Law, and Kyros) can continue to go to Doflamingo's place, courtesy of Dagama. Later he does a personal version of this where, after getting gored by Dellinger, he holds the latter in place and tells Luffy and co to go forward.

!!King Elizabello II
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Katsumi Chō (JP), Andy Mullins (EN)
!!!'''Age:''' 57
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 704 (Manga) Episode 632 (Anime)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/elizabello_ii_anime.png]]
The king of Prodence Kingdom, and also one of the fighters who joined as a gladiator at the Corrida Colosseum to compete for the Flame-Flame Fruit.
------
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He's a king and a single punch of him can tear down a fortress.
* AwesomeButImpractical: The King Punch is said to be powerful enough to knock down one of the Four Emperors and tear down fortresses, but the hour-long charge time makes it impractical to rely on it in a fight; the only reason he managed to fire it in the Colosseum was because he was being guarded the whole time.
* BadassCape: One commonly used for kings, pretty much.
* BoxingBattler: His fighting preference.
* ChargedAttack: His patented [[MegatonPunch King Punch]] needs roughly an hour of charge time. He can also use it without it being fully charged yet, but it'll get proportionately weaker as a result.
* ChekhovsGun: At one point, when Zoro has difficulty fighting Pica, King Elizabello offers help with his King Punch, but Zoro tells him to save it for later. Later, when Pica in his gigantic stone form is walking towards King Riku, Elizabello thinks it's the right time and prepares to let it out... and Zoro still tells him to hold back a bit. [[spoiler:The King Punch does get used later... as cleanup for Pica's leftover stone body. (He does save everyone on the plateau by doing so, though.)]]
* CoolCrown: He wears a hoop crown.
* CripplingOverspecialization: The King Punch is insanely powerful, but also needs to be charged and Elizabello can't really do any other fighting while charging it. He seems to rely entirely on it, so he's really only useful about once an hour.
* GlassCannon: His King Punch can absolutely wreck havoc in the field, but he has to prepare himself for an hour and he's largely helpless in that state. One barrier punch from Bartolomeo is all that's needed to knock him down, once his guards are taken out.
* LargeAndInCharge: He's pretty big and he's a king.
* MundaneUtility: Elizabello II considers [[spoiler:using his powerful punch to clean up the remains of Pica's massive stone body before they fell on those below]] to be this.
* OddFriendship: He's friends with King Riku Dold III despite him being a pacifist.
* OneHitKill: His speciality. It's said to be sufficient to bring down an ''Emperor'', but he can only use it once per hour and is largely helpless while he's building up the momentum to perform it. He can, however, fire it off early at the cost of reduced power.
* RedBaron: He's known as the "The Fighting King".
* RedBoxingGloves: They're yellow boxing gloves.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He enters the competition to win the Mera Mera no Mi. [[spoiler:And he's one of the many fighters who aid the Straw Hat Pirates in taking down Doflamingo]].
* TopHeavyGuy: His legs are much tinier than his comparatively large body and arms. Makes sense, since he's a boxer.
* TheWorfBarrage: Elizabello's MegatonPunch [[spoiler:knocks out just about everyone in one shot, including Bellamy, who was being built up as a major threat]]. Everyone, that is, except for [[spoiler:Bartolomeo, whose force field [[NoSell no sells]] him before he promptly takes him out with little effort]].

[[caption-width-right:310:[[labelnote:Click here to see his human form.]] https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kyros_anime.png[[/labelnote]]]]
->''"Even toys have things they want to protect. But no tears will fall from these tin eyes..."''
Introduced as a one-legged toy soldier, who is also a criminal in Dressrosa, with a grudge against Doflamingo and plots with the Tontatta to remove him from the throne. He quickly aligns with the Straw Hats and offers to help Franky take down the Smile factory. He also shares a past with Rebecca, having taken care of her after her mother's death and trained her to fight without hurting people.
He's later revealed to actually be Kyros, the legendary champion of the Corrida Colosseum and Rebecca's father, turned into a toy by Sugar. In the past, he used to be a violent criminal, until king Riku talked him into a better person. After saving Scarlett, Riku's eldest daughter, she fell in love with him and the two had a secret marriage, from which Rebecca was born. Unfortunately, it ended in tragedy after Doflamingo usurped the Riku family.
Kyros is a formidable warrior, the best of all Dressrosa, and fights using a sword. He's very loyal to Riku and cares a lot for his daughter, whom he wishes to not take his path as a killer. Kyros is also full of doubts because of his past as a rebellious teen and can't forgive himself for having murdered people.
-----
* AccentAdaptation: Just like Rebecca, he is given a Latin American Spanish accent in the Funimation dub.
* ActionDad: Kyros is the Champion of the Corrida Colosseum as well as Scarlett's husband and Rebecca's father. With the death of his wife at the hands of Diamante, Kyros, while turned into a soldier, dedicated his life to his daughter, raising and training her even if Rebecca doesn't have any memory of him. During the climax of the Dressrosa Arc, Kyros fights Diamante to protect Rebecca and avenge Scarlett.
* AnArmAndALeg: Similar to Literature/TheSteadfastTinSoldier, Thunder Soldier is a toy soldier with just one leg. Ten years befor the events of Dressrosa, he was still a human, Kyros cut off his own leg to rush at Doflamingo, but was touched by Sugar and transformed into a toy, while also forgotten by everyone.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: To give him a better life, and noticing that he's the best gladiator in the history of the Corrida Colosseum, king Riku grants him the position of army commander.
* TheAtoner: Kyros always feels guilty for the murders he commited in the past, not helped by the people who hated him when he was a gladiator, but Riku helped him become a better person and told him to help others to make amends for his mistakes.
* AwesomeMcCoolName: Thunder Soldier is a really cool name that indicate how badass the toy is.
* BadassBoast: When he meets Diamante after many years, Kyros declares himself the wrath of Dressrosa's people before beginning his fight with the pirate.
-->"I am the wrath of this country's people, and I shall take you down!"
* BadassCape: Kyros wears a red cape that makes him more imposing and, with its color, indicates that he can be violent in combat.
* BadassNormal: Kyros has no Devil Fruit powers but is still ''the'' strongest gladiator ever to walk Corrida Colosseum and defeats one of Donquixote's strongest subordinates.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In his youth when he was still a human, no matter how many victories he won in the Colosseum, no would ever let him live it down that he was a murderer. For that he wished people would just simply forget his existence. Then, after building a genuinely happy life for himself, everyone, including the people he loved, forgot his existence thanks to Sugar's Devil Fruit powers, with the added burden of being a toy. The worst part is that he couldn't tell anyone, because he would be tossed into the scrap heap otherwise.
* {{BFS}}: As a human, his main weapon is a sword nearly as large as him, fitting for a skilled gladiator.
* BrokenAce: He's Dressrosa strongest fighter and the best gladiator ever seen in the Corrida Colosseum, but he's also full of regret and self-loathing for his murderous past and considers himself unworthy of having a loving family and a happy life. It didn't help that, when he was a gladiator, the crowd kept hating him for the same reasons.
* ChickMagnet: When he was a royal guard, many ladies swooned for him but he always refused their advances.
* TheComicallySerious: Some of the flashbacks to his and Rebecca's past show him in this light, due to being so nervous around Scarlett and his attempts to cheer Rebecca up.
* CondemnedContestant: Like some RealLife Roman gladiators, he was originally a criminal who was sentenced into the arena. He was given the chance to win his freedom if he could win 100 consecutive wins. Despite having done so, he chose to stay due to the people's hatred for him.
* CurbStompBattle: His fight with Diamante lasts for a while because he tries to protect and prevent Rebecca from soiling her hands. The moment Robin arrives and keeps Rebecca safe, nothing Diamante throws at Kyros works, and the moment the latter gets in range, Diamante goes down in one hit.
* {{Determinator}}: He gets hit by a lot of falling SpikeBallsOfDoom during his fight with Diamante and keeps on going, saying that no real warrior would be intimidated by such attacks, while Diamante looks on in shock.
* DisappearedDad: Played with. Rebecca doesn't have any memories of Kyros, her father, and thus believes herself to have grown up fatherless, not counting [[ParentalSubstitute Thunder Soldier]]. In truth, she lost her memories pf him after he got turned into a toy, the same one that took care of her after her mother died. When Kyros is turned back into a human and Rebecca regains her memories, she bursts into tears at the sudden realization that she always had her father at her side.
* DotingParent: In Rebecca's childhood, Kyros at first refused to touch her, not wanting to soil such a pure angel [[TheseHandsHaveKilled with his dirty hands]], and cried from happiness whenever he played with her. Following Scarlett's death, Kyros, transformed into a toy, .took care of Rebecca as she grew up even if she didn't recognize or even remember him.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: As a teen, Kyros was a criminal who lived on the streets, then became a gladiator but was hated by everyone because of his past crimes. He found some happiness when he became a royal guard and then married Scarlett in secret and had a daughter with her, and, while he kept self-loathing and thinking himself to be unworthy of it, he had an happy life. Unfortunately, when the Donquixote Pirates arrived, he was turned into a toy and forgotten by everyone, including his wife, who got killed shortly after, and his daughter. After enduring and fighting Doflamingo's tyranny for ten years, Luffy ends Doflamingo's rule, Kyros is turned back into a human and gets to live happily with his daughter, who chooses by her own will to stay with him rather than being a princess.
* EveryScarHasAStory: Kyros received a single scar in his fight with king Riku, who was fighting incognito. Upon recognizing his king, Kyros dropped his guard for a moment out of shock and was hit. Afterwards, Riku offers Kyros the chance to become a better person and the position of army commander.
* {{Expy}}: His one-legged toy form is taken directly from the eponymous character in Literature/TheSteadfastTinSoldier.
* FaceOfAThug: Kyros's face is rough and lacks eyebrows, making him look like an evil person. While he's a good person, he was a criminal as a teenager.
* FailureKnight: Thunder Soldier is extremely adamant in his desire to protect Rebecca because, when he was still human, despite being Dressrosa's strongest fighter, he failed to protect his king, who was dethroned, and his wife, who was killed.
* FlawedPrototype: Played with. Thunder Soldier is the first toy Sugar ever created, and one of the few not compelled by a Geas to obey the Family, though only because Sugar didn't start giving orders to the newly transformed toys at the time.
* {{Foil}}: Kyros acts as a contrast to Diamante, who is also his arch-enemy for having killed his wife, Scarlett. Both are champions in the Corrida Colosseum but, while Kyros fights fairly with only his sword, Diamante uses his Devil Fruit to set traps and tricks to win. This is emphasized in their fight, where Diamante keeps Kyros on the edge by using said tricks. After Diamante decides to engage fairly in direct combat, he gets struck down bywith a single strike from Kyros.
* ForcedTransformation: Like all living toys, Thunder Soldier is one of the many victims of Sugar's Hobby-Hobby fruit, although he remains a fearful warrior.
* FormerTeenRebel: Deconstructed. In his early teens, Kyros is a violent misfit who killed people, but King Riku Doldo brings him to a better path. After becoming a better person, Kyros reveals he killed those people to avenge his friend. However, Dressrosa citizens and Kyros himself would never forget his past as a murderer, and for this reason he develops a huge guilt complex that prevents him from leaving his gladiator life and makes him think he's unworthy to be a father or just to hold a baby in his hands.
* FourStarBadass: After fighting Kyros directly in the arena, king Riku granted him the position as Dressrosa army commander. This allowed him to meet Scarlett, the woman he later married.
* GenerationXerox: Like his daughter, Kyros was a gladiator who, despite his incredible skills in the Colosseum, was widely hated by the audience. However, Kyros made sure that Rebecca didn't grew up like him, and taught her how to avoid attack and not hurt anyone.
* GreaterNeedThanMine: When he meets Mansherry, she notes that he's heavily wounded and she wants to heal him, but he replies that there are many other people in Dressrosa that might need it more than he does.
* HandicappedBadass: Even as a one-legged toy, he can still escape the police and get around effortlessly, although his frail tin body does hinder him. When he returns human, still without a leg, he keeps the terrifying power he had when he was a gladiator and Doflamingo gives him a bounty equal to Zoro's.
* HappilyMarried: Despite not feeling worthy of it, Kyros had a mutual loving marriage with Scarlett until she was killed. Scarlett even gave up her royal status just to live with him.
* HeartbrokenBadass: Kyros' wife was killed ten years before the events of the Dressrosa Arc, when the Donquixote Pirates invaded Dressrosa, and he still mourns her death. He finds some peace after he defeats Diamante, the man who killed her, and avenges her.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Albeith a former criminal and gladiator, Kyros main weapon is a classic sword that shows how more heroic he is.
* HiddenDepths:
** Introduced as a criminal toy, he's quickly revealed to know Rebecca from his past, but the latter's tears upon seeing him again and the fact that he himself is unable to cry, imply that their past isn't a pretty one. In truth, he is the legendary gladiator Kyros - who won three thousand straight battles in the Colosseum without suffering a single blow - who married princess Scarlett and had a child together: Rebecca. However, everyone forgot his existence when Sugar turned him into a toy, and Scarlett was killed by one of Doflamingo's pirates. So Kyros was forced to raise Rebecca by himself without telling her who he really was, lest he be tossed on the scrap heap.
** Despite appearing as a strong and brave warrior, Kyros is full of self-deprecation for having killed in his youth, and always considers himself unworthy of everything good he has, from his marriage to his daughter.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Kyros, a very muscular man, married the petite and slender Scarlett. The size difference is very noticeable when they are together.
* IHaveNoIdeaWhatImDoing: When Usopp asks him what the Operation Dressrosa SOP (defeating Sugar of Donquixote Family and supposedly turning every toy back to normal) entails, Thunder Soldiers replies that he doesn't know and only suspects that everything will turn upside down once it happens. Luckily, the plan works, albeith thanks to major luck.
* IOweYouMyLife: Kyros is very devoted to King Riku because he gave him the chance of a better life and amend of his crimes while everyone else hated him.
* ImprobableAge: Kyros became the strongest gladiator in the history of the Corrida Colosseum when he was still in his early twenties and defeated thousands of warriors with much more experience than him without getting hurt once.
* InsecureLoveInterest: When Scarlett fell in love with him, Kyros refused her advances because he believed that, due to his past as a murderer, he wasn't good enough for her.
* ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: While he hates Doflamingo as much as everyone else, Kyros holds a particular grudge for Diamante, one of Doflamingo's top officers who killed his wife. During the climax of the Dressrosa Arc, Kyros confronts Diamante, while also protecting his daughter, and defeats him.
* LifeOrLimbDecision: Downplayed. When Doflamingo was about to kill King Riku, Kyros cut off his chained leg to save his king. Unfortunately, he [[AllForNothing got turned into a toy shortly after]].
* LivingLegend: Kyros is the strongest gladiator in the history of the Corrida Colosseum, holding an undefeated streak of 3000 victories — including fighting a giant and a Fish-man, the latter while underwater — and has a bronze statue to honor his "memory". During his entire career, he was only hit once, and only because he recognized that his latest opponent was King Riku in disguise. He's so strong that Doflamingo gives him a bounty as high as Zoro's. Ironically, when he was turned into a toy, everyone forgot about him and is aware of his existance thanks to his statue in the Corrida Colosseum.
* LivingToys: He is one of many living toys in Dressrosa and the one who gets the most screentime. As a whole, Thunder Soldier/Kyros represents the people who have been turned into toys and forgotten by their loved ones.
* LukeIAmYourFather: After many chapters, it's revealed that Thunder Soldier is Rebecca's biological father, Scarlett's husband, and King Riku's son-in-law, making him a member of the Riku royal family and one of the main targets of the Donquixote family. Rebecca realizes it when Kyros is turned human again and she regains the memories of him, crying out of happiness that her father has always been with her.
* MadeOfIron: During his fight with Diamante, the latter hits Kyros with multiple attacks, including a rain of iron spiky balls, but Kyros endures all of them. Diamante himself remains in disbelief in the face of Kyros's toughness.
* ManlyTears: Kyros is one of the manliest characters in the series, but that doesn't stop him from expressing his emotions. After a decade of Doflamingo's tyranny is brought to an end, Kyros' tears show his relief without removing from his manliness.
* MorphicResonance: Kyros cut off his left leg to free himself and rush at Doflamingo but got turned into a toy soldier that misses its left leg as well, making clear to everyone who he is when he's turned back.
* NervesOfSteel: When he was human, he cut off his own leg without a second thought to have a chance at killing Doflamingo and protect king Riku.
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: Tragically, despite his wife dying in his hands, Kyros was turned into a toy and forgotten by everyone, which meant they couldn't properly say goodbye. To make it even more tragic, as a toy, Kyros couldn't even cry or feel Scarlett's body.
* NiceGuy: Scaring children away from the Corrida Colosseum is rather harsh, but justified, seeing how violent the fights can get during tournaments. He's also really kind overall, helpful, and as a toy, loves making people laugh.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Thunder Soldier saved Rebecca from kidnappers when she was a child, but because he stepped into a human's house in the process, something forbidden for a toy, he was branded as a criminal and couldn't see Rebecca anymore except sometimes in secret.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Nobody, including Kyros himself, would let him live down the fact that he murdered someone in his youth to avenge his friend. In his entire gladiatorial career, people kept booing him in spite of his huge victory streak.
* OneManArmy: When he was an army commander, Kyros defeated an entire pirate crew all by himself to protect Scarlett, who then [[RescueRomance fell in love with him]].
* OutDamnedSpot: Kyros' guilt over his murders never go away, even after he has cleaned his name in the eyes of everyone. As a teen, he became a convict gladiator as punishment and was granted permission to leave after one hundred victories. However, he willingly chose to keep going because he felt that he could never let go of those crimes and the crowd kept booing him. In the present, his mentality still lingers; he feels that he can be the one Dressrosan citizen who can spill out blood when the others love and value peace.
* OverprotectiveDad: He punched a boy for proposing to Rebecca.
* PapaWolf: In the past, Kyros punched a playground bully for harming Rebecca and, of course, he saved her from more violent dangers, including a pack of wild dogs and a pair of kidnappers. Diamante exploits this using cowardly tactics and targeting Rebecca so that Kyros would be forced to protect her and unable to attack him.
* ParentalSubstitute: Subverted. Thunder Soldier took care of Rebecca after she lost her parents at an early age and taught her how to fight. However, it's later revealed he's actually her real father turned into a toy but Rebecca has no way of knowing that. He gets quite stricken when she tells him that he isn't her father, but doesn't reply.
* PhlebotinumRebel: As the result of being the first toy created by Sugar, Thunder Soldier retains his free will and organizes a rebellion to dethrone Doflamingo.
* RedBaron: "Thunder Soldier" is actually an alias he took after becoming a toy. His real name is actually Kyros.
* RescueRomance: Scarlett initially hated Kyros, but grew to love him after he saved her from pirates who had kidnapped her and began acting much nicer to him. After a while, they got married in secret to live a quiet life together.
* RetiredBadass: Kyros retires twice from a life of fighting. After a career as the champion of the Corrida Colosseum and then army commander, Kyros secretly married Scarlett, the heir to the Riku royal family, and the two went to live in a small house in the countryside and had a daughter, Rebecca. However, Doflamingo's rise to power and Scarlett's assassination forced Kyros to get back into action and lead the resistance against Doflamingo. After the Straw Hats end Doflamingo's reign, Kyros retires once again in the same house he lived in with Scarlett, this time with his daughter.
* RollerbladeGood: His only toy leg has a rollerblade to aid in his movement. It helps him into making quick attacks.
* RuggedScar: Kyros has a single scar on his forehead, the only one he received in his gladiatoral career, which shows that he's a tough and experienced fighter.
* SecretRelationship: Scarlett faked her death and married Kyros in secret due to the scandal that would be created by them being together, since she's a princess while he's a former criminal. Subverted because it's revealed that the citizens figured it out quickly, but pretended otherwise out of respect for the couple and their reasons.
* SelfDeprecation: One of his defining traits is the low self-esteem he has due to his past as a violent thug when he was 15 and his gladiator career, during which he killed a lot of people. Because his hands are tainted with blood, he doesn't consider himself worthy of affection and even refuses to touch Rebecca as an infant, claiming his hands are too dirty for something this pure. When Rebecca expresses her desire to live with him, Kyros objects, until Rebecca embraces him with an hug and Kyros cries tears of joy.
* SenseLossSadness: Thunder Solider considers not being able to feel the warmth of the people he touches (especially that of his dying wife) to be a painful curse. When he's a human again and finally able to feel the warmth of his daughter's hand at the end of the arc, he cries out of joy and relief.
* ShroudedInMyth: Justified. Kyros has a bronze statue in the Dressrosa Colosseum which describes him as the best gladiator who ever fought there, with a winning streak of three thousand, but nobody knows anything else about him. This is because Kyros was turned into a toy by Sugar, and one of the side effects of her power is that everyone forgets about the people who become toys.
* SkywardScream: Having become a toy that can't feel the touch or cry and, when Scarlett died in his arms without remembering him, all that Kyros could do was scream at the sky.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Since he retained his free will after becoming a LivingToy, he manages not just to train and take care of Rebecca, but to organize a rebellion with the Tontatta against Doflamingo, which helps the Straw Hats to destroy the Smile Factory and knock out Sugar. The latter even turns every living toy back to their original form and brings back everyone's memory, revealing Doflamingo's terrible actions against his people.
* SympatheticMurderer: When he was only 15 years old, Kyros murdered a couple of people to avenge his friend but, not knowing the whole story, the guards arrested him and forced him to fight as a gladiator. Years later, he went to his friends' graves and regretted what he did, wishing that people would forget that he was a murderer.
* TearsFromAStone: When Scarlett died in his arms, being a toy, he was physically unable to cry but the raindrops on his face fell like tears, visually showing the emotion he was feeling.
* TearsOfJoy: Every time he cries he's extremely happy, such as when his daughter is born, when Doflamingo is defeated (as he's relieved that the ten year tyranny has finally ended) and in the culmination of his and Rebecca's character arcs: when his daughter tells him she doesn't care about his criminal record and gives up her princess status so they can live together.
* TheseHandsHaveKilled: The main source of Kyros's angst is the murder he commited as a teenager, even if it was to avenge his friends, that made him hated by everyone. Kyros never forgives himself for his actions and believes himself to be so impure that he doesn't even want to touch and spoil his daughter with his dirty hands.
* TrainingThePeacefulVillagers: Downplayed. Thunder Soldier realized he couldn't protect Rebecca forever given his fragile tin body, so he trained her but only to defend herself and dodge attacks, while he didn't teach her anything that could kill others.
* TwoAliasesOneCharacter: Thunder Soldier and Kyros are introduced, respectively, as a criminal toy who wants to remove Doflamingo from the throne and as the best gladiator to ever fight in the Corrida Colosseum. In chapter 739, it's not only revealed that Kyros was turned into a toy and took the alias of Thunder Soldier, but that he's also Rebecca's father and King Riku's son-in-law.
* UnableToCry: Thunder Soldier is more than willing to cry when he sees Rebecca crying herself, but is physically unable to. So when he finally return to being a human again and gets the chance to cry again after Doflamingo is defeated, he grasps it with both hands.
* UnPerson: Like any other victims of Sugar's toy morphing, nobody remembers his real persona anymore and he can't reveal his true identity to anyone, otherwise he would be thrown into the scrap heap. Therefore, he takes care of Rebecca without the latter recognizing him as her father.
* UnstoppableRage: Although subtle, Kyros is visibly angry at the sight of Diamante and gets even angrier when the latter targets Rebecca with dirty tactics. With sheer rage, Kyros resists everything Diamante throws at him and then strikes him down with a single swing.
* WasOnceAMan: Just like every other toy in Dressrosa, he used to be a human but Sugar transformed into a toy and everyone forgot about him. Fortunately, he, along with all the other toys, regain their human forms when Usopp knocks Sugar out.
* YourHeadASplode: Defied. Gladius grabs Thunder Soldier and inflates his head to make it explode, but Luffy stops him just in time.

!!Tontatta Tribe
[[folder:In General]]
A hidden tribe of Dwarves that live on the island Green Bit just off of Dressrosa. Being so small they fit in someone's palm yet faster than the eye can see, they can remain unseen by the people of Dressrosa and are believed to be fairies. They are lead by Gancho and their warrior Leo. Despite their freakish strength, the Dwarves are incredibly gullible and the Donquixote Pirates have used that to exploit some of them as well as captured their Princess Mansherry. Thus their comrades are working to rebel against Doflamingo.
----
* BadassAdorable: Cute little people capable of beating up characters several times their size with their SuperSpeed and SuperStrength.
* BigDamnHeroes: They all hold the Marines back in Chapter 798 from trying to capture the fleeing pirates.
* BladeOnAStick: Most of them use small lances as weapons.
* ElmuhFuddSyndwome: They speak like this in the English version of the manga.
* TheFairFolk: They are regarded as fairies and known for stealing people's belongings.
* GreenThumb: Green Bit's lushness is due to their nigh-supernatural ability to tend any plant they come across, and it's that very skill that has them enslaved to grow SMILE trees.
* GullibleLemmings: Their [[GangOfHats hats]]. Each of them is very gullible, and believes everything they hear, be it from an ally or a foe. Of course, this means Usopp has the time of his life with them. It's also DeconstructedTrope as their naive nature can be exploited by enemies in order to reveal secret info.
* {{Keigo}}: They all speak like this, but say "resu" instead of "desu".
* {{Lilliputians}}: They're ''tiny'' humanoids with pointy noses and bushy tails. They even tie Nico Robin just like the Lilliputians did to Gulliver.
* MeaningfulName: Tonta is the Spanish, Italian, and Catalan female term for 'fool'. And these dwarves happen to be very gullible. They not only believed one of ''Usopp's'' lies, but the dwarves that are enslaved in Doflamingo's SMILE factory think they're making medicine for the imprisoned Mansherry.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Despite their child-like appearance and behavior, Leo, Kabu, and Inhel have been around since Viola and Scarlett's childhood, indicating that Dwarves have longevity.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: These little people are strong enough to toss an ordinary human around like a rag doll...problem is, their main enemies, the Donquixote Family, are run by humans that are anything ''but'' normal.
* PeeveGoblins: If an item goes missing and you don't notice until later, the Tontatta Tribe did it.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: Despite being small enough to fit in your hands they are strong enough to smash concrete with their fists. So you can forget about the [[PersonOfMassDestruction city block and the architecture occupying it.]]
* ShroudedInMyth: Invoked -- as an apology for the oppression of their tribe, the first King of the Riku Dynasty (about 800 years ago) allowed them to steal anything they want from the kingdom and he'd label them as "fairy's hijinks". Said myth continues to the present day.
* TailSlap: They can do a technique called "Tail Hammer" that is strong enough to knock down a grown man.
* ThanksForTheMammaries: When they're investigating Robin for hidden items, they go so far as to dive into her mini dress. Later on, Gancho somehow managed to hide in between her breasts, without her or Usopp noticing until he speaks.
* ThisMeansWar: They were overjoyed when they learned that [[spoiler: Doflamingo's resigned from being king. But when they learned that the information was false]], this drives them to finally rebel against Doflamingo and go to war against him.

[[folder:Princess Mansherry]]
!!Princess Mansherry
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AiNonaka (JP) Creator/DaniChambers (EN)
!!!'''Age:''' 25
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 717 (Manga), Episode 647 (Anime)
!!!'''Devil Fruit:''' [[HealingHands Heal-Heal Fruit]]
[[quoteright:335:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mansherry_anime.png]]
The princess of the Tontatta, the Dwarf tribe that live on Green Bit, next to Dressrosa. She was captured by Doflamingo because of her healing and restoration abilities granted by the Heal-Heal Fruit (''Chiyu Chiyu no Mi''), which made her an important asset for Doflamingo's operations, and is kept hostage to force the Tontattas to work for them.
Mansherry is adorable even by dwarf standards, with long golden hair and large eyes, and no one can resist her cuteness, and is very nice to everyone but Leo, for whom she has a crush obvious to everyone but Leo himself.
-----
* OneHundredPercentAdorationRating: Mansherry is so sweet and nice that all of the tontattas adore her, except Leo, and those who meet her are quickly captured by her adorable appearance and personality. Her popularity is exploited by the Donquixote Pirates, who kidnapped her and tell the tontattas she's ill and can be healed only with the SMILES, forcing the tontattas to work for them.
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Leo. He's insensitive and oblivious, she's a {{Tsundere}}.
* BlushSticker: Mansherry has perpetual blush stickers that look like they were scribbled on with a crayon.
* CommonalityConnection: Quick to befriend Shirahoshi, Vivi and Dalton over their shared friendship with Luffy.
* CutenessProximity: She's so cute that she manages to briefly induce this in her captives. [[spoiler: Even [[NotSoStoic Vice Admiral Tsuru]] and her crew aren't immune to her cuteness.]]
* DamselInDistress: She spent most of the arc imprisoned by Doflamingo's forces and the Dwarves were on a mission to rescue her.
* GirlishPigtails: Very girlish and innocent, and her very thick pigtails shows that.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's blonde and definitely not as bad as Leo describes. Quite the opposite actually.
* HealingHands: She has eaten the Heal-Heal Fruit, which allows her to heal any living thing instantly. Normally, her powers work on living things however they could also be used to restore non-living things as well albeit at the [[CastFromLifespan cost of her lifespan]].
%%* LadyAndTheKnight: Lady to Leo's Knight.
* LivingMacguffin: She is imprisoned by the Donquixote pirates for her potent healing abilities and to force the Tontattas to work for her. As a result, one of the main objectives of Operation S.O.P is to free her so they can stop the production of [=SMILEs=].
* NiceGirl: Contrary to what Leo believes, she's actually a very kind and compassionate princess.
* PersonalityPower: Mansherry is one of the nicest characters in the series, has been described as nice to everyone (except Leo) and has the power to heal people and non-living beings.
* PrincessClassic: Even more than Shirahoshi. She's unapologetically nice, feminine and caring, coming complete with healing powers. The only exception to this is her {{Tsundere}} tendencies, and that's only around Leo.
* SacrificialRevivalSpell: Somewhat: She can turn donated blood into dandelion-like balls of healing. [[spoiler:This also makes the donators becoming easily weakened if done too much on each person.]]
* SwissArmyTears: One way in which Mansherry's Heal-Heal Fruit powers can be applied. Once Giolla realizes this, she starts hurting Mansherry to invoke this trope on the defeated Doflamingo officers.
* {{Tsundere}}:
** When Mansherry first appears in person, her personality doesn't match the "bitter, selfish, cruel, spoiled, and ill-tempered" description she was given earlier. She's actually very sweet, to the point of inducing CutenessProximity in villains and refuses to help Giolla revive the Officers. Then the first thing Leo says to her after catching her in a BridalCarry is she's gained weight, earning him a punch to the face and Kabu thinking how some things never change.
** The next chapter makes it clear she's a "Sweet" type, being deredere to everyone else only really showing her Tsuntsun side to Leo out of frustration to his [[ObliviousToLove obliviousness]].
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: Turns out Mansherry wasn't imprisoned in the SMILE factory. Instead, she was in the royal palace.

* LivingLegend: He's actually Kyros, the strongest gladiator in the history of the Corrida Colosseum, holding an undefeated streak of 3000 victories — including fighting a giant and a Fish-man, the latter while underwater — and has a bronze statue to honor his "memory". During his entire career, he was only hit once, and only because he recognized that his latest opponent was King Riku in disguise. He's so strong that Doflamingo gives him a bounty as high as Zoro's.

Ironically, when he was turned into a toy, everyone forgot about him and is aware of his existance thanks to his statue in the Corrida Colosseum.
