## One Piece Chapter 1044, pages 6-7: Warrior of Liberation - Chapter: 1044 - Pages: 6-7 - Characters: Kozuki Hiyori, Kurozumi Orochi, Kozuki Oden, Kurozumi Kanjuro, Kazenbo, Kaido ### Summary Page 6: A memory shows Hiyori as a child asking her father whether he is really okay with what everyone says about him. Oden answers, "Of course I am! You know why? Because... I have you guys!!" Hiyori remembers swearing that she would always be there for him, and Orochi tries to twist the story by claiming that as shogun he can ensure Oden's legacy is recognized. Hiyori finally tears away every mask of politeness and declares, "Hold your tongue, you miserable wretch!! I am Kozuki Hiyori!!" Her tears and rage make the reveal absolute. She is not Komurasaki playing a role anymore; she is Oden's daughter confronting the man who used Wano, humiliated her father, and profited from twenty years of suffering. Page 7: Hiyori tells Orochi that she was always proud to carry her father's name, even when she was starving and covered in rags, while Orochi never had a trace of honor. She says every day he was shogun was one too many, and that as each day passed, more and more lives were lost. Orochi begs her to stop and says that seeking revenge is dated ideology and that killing him makes no difference because Kaido is still unbeatable. Then the remaining Kazenbo flame appears, answering in Kanjuro's dying voice. Orochi thinks Kanjuro's timing is perfect and laughs that this is the ideal stage for Kanjuro's final performance: "The failed revenge of a shrew, 20 years in the making." He orders the flame to take Hiyori.
