"You may not recognize me, my lady..."

KyHiyori is the het ship between Denjiro and Kozuki Hiyori from the One Piece fandom.

Canon
Hiyori at an early age ran into some courtesans who took her to Kyoshiro, he welcomed her very willingly and revealed that he was actually Denjiro, while the girl told him that she had separated from Kawamatsu, who had treated her to safety. Denjiro told her not to reveal anything about his identity and what he learned and to protect her he told her to be called with an undercover name "Komurasaki". He later made her the most famous oiran in the country of Wa. He has great respect for her and has closely followed her new business as the shogun's courtesan "Komurasaki". He showed incredible caution when he advised Hiyori to live under a false name to protect herself from Orochi and Kaido's pirate.



She is also the only one aware of Denjiro's secret identity. Much later, Denjiro convinced some criminals to entrust Hiyori with all their money to be able to redeem it from Orochi, but then he handed it over to Denjiro to distribute to the poor, sending these men to ruin.

After Orochi fell in love with Komurasaki, Denjiro came up with the idea of ​​separating her from Orochi and told her to bring fake blood so he could devise her death. Indeed, while all present mock Orochi in silence as he fears Kozuki Toki's prophecy, Toko does not hold back and bursts into laughter. The shogun therefore gets furious and prepares to stab her, but Komurasaki slaps him and refuses to apologize by asserting her samurai ancestry. Denjiro does not hesitate to execute Komurasaki after she slaps Shogun Orochi in the face, even though he actually allows her to survive Orochi's fury by making her pass for dead, and consequently she manages to save herself thanks to him.

Later Zoro tries to kill Orochi with his technique “the seven hundred and twenty demonic passions of the phoenix” and Denjiro intervenes, canceling his attack, saving Orochi and admiring Hiyori's astonished expression from afar.



Only by going forward with the story will it be discovered that in reality he will be an excellent ally, reveal his identity and help the crew during the war. His main purpose was to keep Kozuki Hiyori safe and to protect her.

Denjiro and Hiyori seem to share an interesting and profound but unknown connection in the story so far. While their relationship appears to be simple at first glance, it goes way beyond when Kyoshiro hit her during the banquet at Orochi Castle.

During the war between Kaido and Monkey D. Luffy, Orochi takes advantage of it to kill Hiyori due to the fact that she has been unfaithful to him, but while he tries to kill her, Denjiro arrives and saves her by cutting off his head, while he held Hiyori in his arms while he exclaims..

"You've done well... Really well... To have endured this for so many moons...!! Hiyori-sama!"

- Denjiro congratulates Hiyori on how she has acted for years while she cries. CHAPTER 1049 Once Monkey D. Luffy defeats Kaido once and for all, Denjiro shows up with Hiyori to introduce the citizens to Wano's new shogun, Momonosuke.
