## One Piece Chapter 973, pages 5-6: The Kozuki Line - Chapter: 973 - Pages: 5-6 - Characters: Ashura Doji, Denjiro, Kozuki Toki, Kozuki Momonosuke, Kozuki Hiyori, Kaido, Kozuki Oden ### Summary Page 5: The escape frays apart. One retainer curses, "Shit!!!" as Ashura calls, "Help me, Ashura! Pursuers!!" and another shouts, "Denjiro, Ashura!!" The scene jumps to Kuri, where the castle is surrounded. Soldiers roar, "They are surrounded!!" and "Burn it down!!" Inside the burning castle, Toki holds Hiyori and Momonosuke and tells them, "Nothing to fear, I'll send you away." Momonosuke panics, "Mother!!" and Hiyori clings to her, crying, "No..." Toki is calm, but the decision is cruel: she is about to use her power to send the children away from the flames. Page 6: At the burning castle, Kaido confronts Momonosuke. He asks, "Your name?" Momo, terrified and panting "PFF...!! UGH!" can barely answer. Kaido tells him, "The 'Kozuki' name will die with you." But Momo remembers Toki's words: "Your father is famous... and one day..." and Oden's shadow standing tall: "Your father is...!! A great warrior..." Momonosuke sobs, "No... Hi-c...!!" then forces the words out: "Someday I will be!! And me...!! The one that will rule this country!" At the same time he remembers Oden saying, "I'm going to fall, it's high, I'm afraid, I'm going to die!!" and someone calling his father "the 'Idiot Lord'." The childish fear and inherited pride collide inside him.
