“One Piece” Chapter 973: Lady Toki’s Death

Thanks to the latest set of raw scans, fans now have several clues on what the upcoming chapter would be about. While many believe that the last chapter would be the end of Oden’s flashback, it looks like “One Piece” Chapter 973 would deal with Oden’s family and his scabbards. According to the raw scans, the upcoming chapter would show the death of Lady Toki after she sent Momonusuke and the scabbards to the future.

The scans also reveal that “One Piece” Chapter 973 would show an enraged Orochi. The Shogun of the Wano country could not find any proof that Oden’s retainers are truly dead. Apart from this, fans would finally get to know the true identity of Denjiro through Hiyori.

Who Is Denjiro?

For several weeks, the “One Piece” fandom has been arguing about the identity of the traitor in Oden’s camp. Some of them believe that it was Denjiro while other fans claim that Denjiro and Kyoshiro are one and the same. It appears that the fans were right about Denjiro’s identity, not as a traitor, though, but as Kyoshiro.

Thanks to the translation provided by Reddit user PuckTheGreat through brikskohuh, fans now have the details of the conversation between Kyoshiro and Hyogori. It appears that Denjiro changed his appearance and his name to Kyoshiro to conceal his true identity. He took up Hyogoro’s role in the Flower Capital as the leader of the mafia and stuck by the Shogun’s side.

But, since he has a double identity, he is also the Witching Hour Boy who stole money from the warehouse. When Denjiro or Kyoshiro learned that Hiyori got separated from Kawamatsu and was lost in the down, the scabbard revealed his true identity. However, he asked Hiyori to never reveal his secret even to his allies until the battle begins.

Apart from these, it looks like it was Denjiro’s idea that Hiyori assumed the name Komurasaki and lived that way so he could protect her. Things are getting more exciting in the upcoming chapters of “One Piece.” With crucial plot details slowly revealed, it seems that the Manga is nearing the much-awaited battle between the Straw Hats alliance and the Big Mom Beast Pirates alliance.

“One Piece” Chapter 973 is coming on Mar. 9.
