While Usopp faces Trébol, the Thunder Soldier recalls his time as Kyros. He was arrested after killing some thugs who murdered his best friend. After much time as a gladiator, Kyros chooses to stay even after winning his freedom, due to the citizens' hatred of him and the traumatic guilt of his act of murder, until his 3000th fight against a disguised King Riku who convinces him to be free. Kyros manages to become King Riku's captain of his guard despite objections from the latter eldest daughter Scarlett, who at first isn't fond of Kryos but falls in love with him after he saves her from pirates. Kyros and Scarlett later marry after her family helps her fake her death (as to avoid a scandal of a princess marrying a former criminal) and together conceive Rebecca. As they have a happy life together as a family, Doflamingo ruins it as he attempts to take over Dressrosa that night 10 years ago.
