• The Legend of Gashadokuro •
Hiyori is in the Ringo region of Wano Country delivering a letter from Hyogoro of the Flower, a famous yakuza boss of the Flower Capital. The letter is for Moonflower O-Cho, who is too a yakuza boss, and lives in Ringo.
After delivering the letter, Cho warn Hiyori not to go in the direction of large glen area called Surīpī Horō. When she asked why Cho explained that...
Surīpī Horō is an area renowned for inhabiting Yokais and the haunting atmosphere that pervades the imaginations of its inhabitants. Some residents say this area was bewitched in the early days of Wano's settlement, while others claim that the mysterious atmosphere was caused by an old evil sorcerer, who is consider the "Spell Master of his clan. It became more haunted when a battle brokeout in that area. 25 years ago when Wano was ruled by the tyrant ruler Kaido. In Ringo a group of pirates called the Gecko Pirates who entered their country and started invading Ringo. They eventually clashed with Kaido and his Beasts Army in that region. A massive war broke out and lasted for a few days. Ultimately, the conflict ended with the vast majority of the Gecko Pirates being killed, with only the Captain being the only known survivor. Ever since that war, an evil spirit who became the most infamous spectre in that Glen, and the "Chief of all the Yokai in Surīpī Horō" is the Gashadokuro. Gashadokuro is a spirit that take the form of giant skeletons made of the skulls of people who died in a battlefield, and is 10 meters tall. Only the eyes protrude, and are burning blue. Gashadokuro wanders around at night and attacks and eats humans when it sees them. When Gashadokuro approaches, it is said to make a clattering sound with its teeth. The Gashadokuro is said to possess the powers of invisibility and indestructibility since it is composed of the bones of people who are already deceased, though Shinto charms are said to ward them off. Otherwise, a Gashadokuro will continue hunting its prey until its pent up anger is released, causing the bones to crumple and the Gashadokuro to collapse. They say Gashadokuro first came to existence when a supposedly restless ghost of a pirate invader whose head had been shot off by a cannonball by the Samurais of Wano during the battle in Ringo, who summon the spirits of his dead comrades, and together form the Gashadokuro."
Following Cho's warning, Hiyori rides home on her temperamental plough horse named Hono, as she passes several purportedly haunted spots, her active imagination is engorged by the ghost story told by Cho. After nervously passing a lightning-stricken sakura tree, Hiyori encounters a cloaked rider at an intersection in a menacing swamp. Unsettled by her fellow traveler's eerie size and silence, Hiyori is horrified to discover that her companion is a tall skeleton wearing a pure white kimono, with triangle-shaped headband and two arrows stuck in his body. It's clear to Hiyori that the Skeleton is none other than the Gashadokuro.
Hiyori immediately flees as far and fast as she can on her horse, the Skeletalon continued to follow her.
Tried to find an exit out of Surīpī Horō, sadly she entered a dead end. The Gashadokuro approaches Hiyori closer and closer.
Hiyori was so terrified she close her eyes preparing for the worst.
When the Gashadokuro finally got close to her he murdered a few words to her...
oh my aren't you such a lovely lady, if you don't mind may I please see your panties?
"HUH?!", yelled a confused Hiyori.
