What does "whatever it takes" mean? I've been searching everywhere but no one can make me understand. Is it the same as "no matter what" or something? Can I use "I will protect her, whatever it takes" or that doesn't make sense? I'm not good at English, that's why I'm here. I'm sorry If I made any mistakes :)

It's another way to say that you'll do anything tha's necessary, you'll pay, or do. doesn't matter how difficult, or bad it is.
