## One Piece Chapter 973, pages 14-15: The Kozuki Line - Chapter: 973 - Pages: 14-15 - Characters: Kawamatsu, Kozuki Hiyori, Denjiro, Kin'emon ### Summary Page 14: Meanwhile, Kawamatsu is accused in the city. Someone shouts, "It's the witching hour boy!" and another cries, "He stole the money from my safe!" In the confusion, Hiyori disappears. Kawamatsu calls, "Where did you go!" and "Lady Hiyori!!" but she is gone. People in town notice a hungry little girl: "Boss, this pretty little girl was wandering in front of the shops." Another says, "I think it's an orphan that got mixed into the city. She looks hungry!!" The girl has found her way to Kyoshiro. Denjiro, still hidden under his new face, tells her, "You may not recognize me but..." Page 15: Hiyori recognizes him in shock: "Denjiro!? Really??" Denjiro smiles and explains, "So that's what happened with you and Kawamatsu." He tells her, "My appearance was changed by a monster called 'rage'! Even Kinemon and the others probably won't recognize me, but that's better." Until the final battle comes, he says, he will protect Hiyori in Kawamatsu's place: "I will protect you instead of Kawamatsu for now." He gives her a new public identity and a strict warning: "Please go with the name 'Komurasaki'. Please do not let anyone even in our allies know that it's me!" The chapter closes on the truth that Kyoshiro and Komurasaki have hidden their game well until today.
