## One Piece Chapter 953, pages 5-6: A Fox of a Single Disguise - Chapter: 953 - Pages: 5-6 - Characters: Kawamatsu, Kozuki Hiyori, Shimotsuki Ushimaru, Kaido, Onimaru ### Summary Page 5: Kawamatsu begins explaining how he arrived in Ringo. After Hiyori left him, he drifted, doing this and that, until his feet eventually carried him there. He says, "If something ever happens to the princess, and I must end my own life, this is the place to do it!" The frosty northern reaches of Wano, Ringo and the neighboring Hakumai, were once ruled by the fierce Shimotsuki clan. Ringo itself became a wasteland under Kaido's wrath, but its daimyo had been Shimotsuki Ushimaru, a master swordsman always accompanied by his pet fox. Page 6: Kawamatsu asks whether Hiyori knows Ringo's custom, the Eternal Burial. Hiyori has heard that because it is so cold, bodies left out in coffins stay preserved for hundreds of years. Kawamatsu explains that the markers used for these eternal graves are swords, katanas, and that some of the blades were famed meito. Such was Ringo, the land upon which they now stand. But after the fall, the graves were constantly looted, and a fox barked from the snow as robbers prepared to raid them again.
