For some reason Rebecca was losing pretty badly. For the audience It looked like Rebecca was trying her best but she hasn't managed to overpower her opponent. The fact, that ice witch was a prominent member of an emperor's crew, made her downfall even more convincing to others.
"Even though the fight has not finished yet it looks like our undefeated Gladiator has finally met her match. Rebecca is losing pretty badly. If this goes on then her defeat is inevitable. Ice witch Whity Bay, is a prominent member of White-beard's crew. It seems that the subordinate of the world's strongest man are very powerful like their captain !"

"As expected of whity, she win it pretty easily !" Ace, the newest son of white beard was watching the fight live with the entire crew. Although he never used sword for fighting he knew that Whity is skilled with her sword. Not up to the level of Vista but skillful nonetheless.
In the moment of excitement he has already forgotten his attempt of taking white beard's life this morning and the smacking he has gotten from his adoptive father.
"Idiot she is not winning yoi !" Marco said with narrowed eyes.
"But she should work on her tactical skills. She is falling for the opponents trap." Vista commented.
"Huh ! What are you guys talking about ? She is clearly winning. Although I don't know why she seems so angry at her opponent but obviously she is winning." Ace asked to Marco.
"You are a newbie yoi ! You don't have any experience. She is not winning at all yoi. That Rebecca girl is clearly holding back." Marco commented.
"Do you think that it is for the betting is going on ?" Jozu asked .
"What betting ? And what do you mean by she is holding back ?" Ace was clearly confused.
"I have heard rumours about the betting happening in the Colosseum matches. Especially in the martial tournament. Only the people connected with the black market know about the truth behind it. It is said that the bettings goes on up to billions of berries on this tournament alone. Many nobles and royals bet their money on a fighter through the channel of black market. I have heard that even marines participate in this game.
If your fighter lose then you will lose all your betting money. And if your fighter when then you will win all of the beating money. That's the simple rule in this game.
That Gladiator Rebecca is clearly playing it under the influence of the black market. And I am not surprised either. Doflamigo, the war lord is known for his shady business in the black market." Tatch explained.
"You mean that, the naked girl is stronger than Whity ?" Ace couldn't believe Tatch.
"Yes yoi..."
//The underground hall of control room, kingdom of Dressrosa
Doflamigo was keeping an eye on the betting money.
"Trebol, what is the betting amount in the for of Rebecca ?" Doflamigo asked Trebol.
"It is 350 millions berries, young master ! It seems that many people, who knows true strength, are not being deceived by the match. But the betting against her has reached 1.2 billions berries." Trebol reported to Doflamigo.
"It is to be expected from veterans . Shift the betting amount in the for of Rebecca to 600 millions. And close the bet, when it reaches 1.3 billions. We don't want to get suspicious." Doflamigo said to Trebol.
"And one more thing. Send her more tears from Manseri. She needed to be and top condition for tomorrow's fight." Doflamigo ordered Trebol.
"I will make sure to send her as soon as her match ends, young master. Gyeah yeah yeah yeah !" Trebol laughed in his own disgusting manner.
...
Rebecca didn't know how much more she has to take on her opponent's attacks. Although she has started using colour of armament in order to avoid losing anymore blood by her slashes, she was barely standing because of the earlier blood loss. The ice witch was not holding back. If Rebecca was in her peak, then she would have faced no problem defeating her. But if this continued, then she might truly lose this match. But the consequences of that won't be pretty. Not to mention all of her plans will go to vein.
That's why through the shear will power, she stood her ground, glancing at the podium where Monnet was sitting time to time.
The entire arena was covered with the ice of ice witch's sword.
And she was very angry. Never in her life she has faced such a humiliation from her opponent. Whity Bay might have a laid back attitude, but she was prideful. And Rebecca was hurting her pride by not only holding back but also not getting knocked out by her. It was prayer for her to go for killing but she decided to do it anyway. She didn't want to face such humiliation.
But even when she was trying to kill her opponent seriously Rebecca held her ground without giving her upper hand.
...
"Trebol, I don't think that she is going to hold on for much longer. If we did not give her the signal now then she might actually lose. Even now I doubt that she can win anymore. Not to mention that ice witch is seriously going for the killing blow !" Monnet was pretty worried. Not about Rebecca, but about losing the money. This will be her final job before she will leave for our next mission to outside Dressrosa.
And she didn't want to disappoint The young master because she couldn't properly assess the situation.
"Don't worry we are almost there. Gyeah yeah yeah yeah ! Look at that ! We have reached the amount young master wanted ! Give her the signal don't delay !" Trebol laughed.
Monnet didn't delayed and fired her gun towards the sky, giving Rebecca the signal.
As soon as the gun is fired the air around Rebecca changed.
Suddenly Whity stopped when she saw her opponent getting serious. She calmed down and stopped her assault momentarily.
But suddenly she realised something. The gun fire was a signal.
But before she could finish her thought process, her colour of observation warned her about the incoming attack. But before she could dodge, Rebecca's figure disappeared and reappeared behind her.
The next moment a wide slash appeared on her torso that's spread from her left shoulder to the end of her right hips. The black lightning surrounding the sword of Rebecca, and the knocked out audience indicated the use of conqueror's haki.
Before anyone could understand what happened, the match was already over.
Rebecca's knee buckled from the loss of blood and the cold temperature around her. Her top has been destroyed during the earlier attacks of Whity Bay. Only her own blood was covering her shame. Her cloack has turned to rags.
She somehow supported herself with her sword and remained standing till the announcer declared her, the winner of the match.
