The One Piece title logo dominates the top of the page. Below it, bold text reads "CHAPTER 961: THE MOUNTAIN GOD INCIDENT". The central illustration shows a chaotic street scene in a Wano-style town. A large bearded man in a dark coat stands over two others. A man wearing a black hat and coat kneels while gripping a curly-haired man by the collar; the curly-haired man lies on the ground with a distressed expression. The kneeling man points sharply to the right. A large question-mark bubble hovers near the background. At the bottom, text states: "GANG BEGE'S "OH MY FAMILY" VOL. 11: "WERE THESE PEOPLE ATTACKEDI" The artist credit "EIICHIRO ODA" appears beneath the panel.

A wide establishing shot shows the capital of Wano with a giant pagoda and distant mountains. Sound effects "ズズズゥゥゥン!!" and "キキキ" rumble as someone shouts, "WHAT WILL ODEN DO ABOUT THE GIANT MOUNTAIN GODI!" In the next panels a spiky-haired man clutches a small white boar that squeals "OINK OINK SQUEEL OINK SQUEEL". He yells, "OH, BE QUIET!!" Nearby voices worry, "COULD THE CAPITAL REALLY GET DESTROYED... OVER THIS LITTLE THING...!I" A young man with a topknot cries out in panic, "HE... HE IS KOZUKI ODEN...!!! THE ONE AND ONLY...!!! THE ONLY ADULTS DO NOT DESPISE FOR BEING A FOOL. THE ONE MAN I ACTUALLY RESPECT...!!!" Oden, still holding the boar, shouts desperately, "I COULD FINALLY PAY OFF MY DEBTS, AND THEN I COULD..." A swordsman grabs him and retorts, "NO!! PLEASE WAIT!! THIS BOAR IS WORTH A PIECE OF WHITE GOLD!! THAT IS WHY... I TOLD YOU TO GIVE IT TO ME!!!" Heartbeat sounds "ドキ ドキ ドキ..." punctuate the struggle.

Oden continues yelling while holding the boar: "...IF ITS CHILD WAS KIDNAPPED!!" Onlookers react with shock. A stern figure declares, "THE MOUNTAIN GOD WOULD ONLY COME DOWN THE MOUNTAIN..." Another warns, "KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR A SMALL WHITE BOAR!!" A man with a headband and sword shouts, "MANY ASSUMED IT WAS ONLY A SUPERSTITION!! WHITE BOARS BEING THE HERALDS OF THE GODS IS ANCIENT KNOWLEDGE!! SO SOMEBODY BROUGHT ITS CHILD HERE!I" He adds, "WE MUST APPEASE THE MOUNTAIN GOD'S FURY QUICKLY...!!!" and "IF WE FAIL TO RETURN IT TO THE MOUNTAIN... THE CAPITAL WILL BE DESTROYED!!!" The final panels show the white boar thrashing violently, smashing through debris with "ガッ" and "ガシャ" impact sounds while squealing "OINK OINK!!" as terrified citizens scatter.

A colossal boar known as the Mountain God rampages through a Wano town, smashing buildings and devouring people and houses whole. Panicked citizens flee in terror as debris flies everywhere. "UWAAA AAAH!!!" "IT IS EATING HUMANS AND HOUSES WHOLE!!" A desperate mother cries out, "SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!! THE BOAR ATE MY DAUGHTER...!!!" while her child screams, "FATHER!!!" and "GYAAAA AAAH!!!" Another voice pleads, "PLEASE HELP ME!!!" A man in a patterned hat and dark cloak shouts in panic, "SAVE MEEEEEE!!!" The narration declares, "THIS IS A NIGHTMAREEEEEE!!!" as the beast continues its destruction across the burning, ruined landscape.

A bearded man in a striped robe gestures angrily while confronting a small figure. "ANYWAY, YOU MUST TAKE IT BACK TO THE MOUNTAINS IMMEDIATELY!! THE MOUNTAIN GOD IS HEADING STRAIGHT FOR US!!!" "IT IS FOLLOWING THIS LITTLE GUY'S SCENT!!" "YOU STOLE IT FROM US!!" A wild-haired man with a topknot yells, "HEY... YOU ARE THE BOAR-NAPPER!!" while panting, "HUFF... HUFF... THERE YOU ARE!! I FINALLY FOUND YOU!!" A woman with dark hair and a flower in her hair reacts in shock. "WHATIII" "YOUR FRIEND O-TSURU GOT CAUGHT UP IN THIS MESS, TOO!!!" The bearded man explains, "MY COMRADES WERE EATEN BY THE MOUNTAIN GOD BECAUSE THEY HAD THE LITTLE BOAR'S SCENT ON THEM!!" "WE HAD NO IDEA THIS WOULD HAPPEN!!" "WE WANTED TO GET THE WHITE BOAR BACK FROM YOU..." A small hooded figure with wide eyes shouts, "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!" "THEY WERE ALL EATEN!!!" The woman smiles calmly and says, "LET ME GO!!" while the bearded man adds, "SO WE TOOK HER HOSTAGE... BUT WHILE WE WERE MAKING OUR WAY DOWN THE MOUNTAIN..."

Kin'emon stands ready with his sword drawn as the small white boar sniffs the air. "BECAUSE OF THE SCENT." "STRAIGHT HERE..." "THAT MONSTER WILL COME..." The Mountain God bursts onto the scene with a massive roar, "KYAAAAM!!" and "HERE IT COMES...!!!" Kin'emon leaps into action amid flying debris. A silhouette warns, "YOU WILL PROBABLY END UP DEAD!!" Kin'emon glares furiously, "FINE BY ME!! NOBODY WOULD CARE IF I DIED, ANYWAY!!" He snaps, "GET A REAL JOB, KIN'EMON!! IF YOU STAY IN THE YAKUZA..." The woman states, "HE STOLE AGAIN!I HOW AWFUL!!" "I WILL PAY YOU BACK!!" while the small boar sniffs, "SNIFF SNIFF" and glares intensely, "GLARE!!!"

Kin'emon's furious face fills the panel as he roars, "GIVE ME BACK O-TSURUUUUUUUU!!!" while clutching at the air. Someone throws a rock, prompting him to yell, "OUCH!! WHY DID YOU THROW A ROCK AT MEI!" The Mountain God charges forward with devastating force, jaws open wide. Kin'emon is sent flying backward from the impact. The beast smashes through the town in a massive explosion of debris and destruction, "BANG!!" Townspeople scatter in panic as the giant boar rampages, sending everyone flying amid the chaos.

Someone else yells, "STOP IT, KIN'EMON!!" The boar crashes onward, shaking the ground with every step.

Narration recounts the aftermath: "THE CAPITAL MAY HAVE SURVIVED, BUT NEARLY A QUARTER OF THE CITY WAS LOST. WAS EATEN BY THE BOAR... IT IS SAID THAT AN ENTIRE VILLAGE WORTH OF PEOPLE... MIRACULOUSLY, THERE WERE NO HUMAN FATALITIES." Townspeople gossip in the ruined streets. One man insists, "IT WAS HIS FAULT IN THE FIRST PLACE! HE IS A CRIMINAL!" Another replies, "WE SHOULD PROBABLY THANK HIM, BUT... WHAT ODEN DID WAS SO COOL..." A third adds, "HE WAS SO COOL... I ALMOST CRIED OUT IN AWE!" Kin'emon weeps openly, shouting "KIN-CHAN, WAAAAH!!!" Oden stands tall and declares, "THAT WOULD BE POINTLESS!! I HAVE A CONFESSION TO MAKE....!!! EVERYONE LISTEN!!" The crowd reacts with shock as Oden's voice booms across the scene.

A man in a wide hat laughs, "WAHA HAHA!! NOT ONLY THAT, BUT I HAVE ALSO BEEN EXILED FROM THE CAPITAL!!" Oden replies with a strained smile, "I SEE, SO I HAVE BEEN DISOWNED... I APOLOGISE FOR THE TIMING OF THIS, BUT..." He then roars, "THAT IT CANNOT HANDLE ME ANYMORE!!" Narration notes the Flower Capital's reaction and a distant figure comments on Lord Shogun. Oden declares, "TIME TO HEAD TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER!! I WILL BE SLEEPING THERE BY SUNSET!!" while muttering, "AH... I NEED TO EAT SOMETHING..." The page ends with the caption: "BY AGE 18, ODEN HAD CAUSED THE MOUNTAIN GOD INCIDENT."

I FEEL THE SAME WAY!!" A sign reads "WANO - THE YAKUMAI REGION." A welcoming voice calls, "WELCOME, WELCOME, LORD ODEN!! IT IS A PLEASURE TO MAKE YOUR ACQUAINTANCE!!

The seated daimyo growls, "WHAT DO YOU WANT, ODEN!I AND YOU EVEN BROUGHT SOME HENCHMEN WITH YOU!I GET EXCITED OVER AN EXILED FOOL FROM THE CAPITAL!! YOU ARE CORRECT!! I WOULD NOT..." A young attendant protests, "DO NOT BE SO RUDE!!...HE IS MY NEWEST SERVANT. HEY, UNCLE!! WHAT IS WITH THIS CREEPY WEIRDO!I" The daimyo is revealed as "THE DAIMYO OF YAKUMAI SHIMOTSUKI YASUIE."
