Character History
Four Months Later
Lizards
Hiro, garbed as Takezo Kensei, rides into a clearing to find Yaeko using her father's sword to defend herself against a number of swordsmen. The leader tells Yaeko that he needs her father, not her. Hiro disarms the men as a grateful Yaeko watches.
After some time, Yaeko apologizes to Hiro for thinking that Takezo had just left with their money. She praises his honor and bravery. They enter a clearing filled, and Yaeko comments on the beauty of the cherry blossoms; she finds it odd that the tree is beautiful, but bears no fruit. She asks Hiro to take off his mask but he declines, saying that she "disarms him" and that his love for her will be legendary. She closes her eyes, and when she opens them, Hiro and Kensei's horse have disappeared, leaving Yaeko standing alone in the falling cherry blossoms.
Later, Yaeko enters the room where Hiro and Takezo converse, and tells the real Kensei that he forgot his sword. She tells him that they must go rescue her father. As they leave, Whitebeard's men attack Kensei.
