Chapter 952 summary
The next day in Ringo, Zoro keeps Gyukimaru pinned on the bridge and demands the return of Shusui while the monk warns him not to throw his life away over one sword. Hiyori cries out in recognition of the blade. Kawamatsu arrives, draws his sword, and halts the fight, then turns in surprise when Hiyori calls his name. On Onigashima, Kaido and Big Mom continue their rampage until Queen leaves to check on Udon. At the prison, Babanuki reports to Queen under O-Tama's control while the alliance gains thousands of new fighters and the regional yakuza bosses receive orders to gather more rebels. Luffy recovers and prepares to report to Kinemon. Back at the bridge, Kawamatsu reunites with Hiyori until armed men attack, after which he stares after the fleeing Gyukimaru in relief.
