## One Piece Chapter 953, pages 8-9: A Fox of a Single Disguise - Chapter: 953 - Pages: 8-9 - Characters: Onimaru, Kawamatsu ### Summary Page 8: For the five years after Ringo fell, Onimaru fought alone against the evils of grave robbers. Kawamatsu is stunned and asks, "Don't tell me... you protected all this by yourself?!" He thinks of the custom: on the day of their birth, the people of Ringo give their children swords, and those swords accompany them through life, one day serving to mark their graves. Seeing Onimaru wounded and loyal, Kawamatsu feeds him and says, "Here! Eat up. You must eat to heal. For if you die, who will protect your master's grave?" Page 9: Onimaru continues guarding the graves, barking and growling whenever Kawamatsu approaches the swords. Kawamatsu hushes him and apologizes: "Forgive me. Forgive me! I know!" The fox does not understand yet, and the snowfield fills with the scrape of blades as Kawamatsu begins gathering them anyway. The work looks like theft, but Kawamatsu's guilt shows that he knows exactly whose resting places he is disturbing.
