Kozuki Hiyori Dies

"You can't talk sense into someone determined to die."

"I've done everything I could. Since you refuse to see reason, I'll have to sink you along with Wano Country."

Displeasure flashed in Rono's eyes as he looked at the people before him.

"We'll never let you sink Wano Country!"

"Foxfire Style: Fire Flow Flash!"

"Oden Two-Sword Style: Togen Totsuka!"
