Kaido roars KAIDO!!! IT WAS ALL A LIE, EHI with veins bulging and fists clenched. In a wide scene he stands amid a crowd of samurai and onlookers while a dragon coils overhead. Speech bubbles recount past events: IF YOU TEAMED UP WITH HYOGORO UPON YOUR RETURN... YOU COULD HAVE MADE THE SAMURAI AND GANGSTERS AROUND WANO COUNTRY GATHER AS OUR ENEMIES. WE WERE STILL SHORT ON MEN... IT WOULD'VE TURNED INTO AN EXCRUCIATING BATTLE FOR US. THAT'S RIGHT... WORORO. IT WAS ALL A LIE. AT THAT TIME WE WERE AT A DISADVANTAGE.

Kaido

Kaido's massive dragon form looms over the battlefield, smoke curling from his jaws as he mocks Oden. "OF A DANGEROUS PSYCHO WHO WAS NOT AFRAID OF CASUALTIES, WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED... WORORORO!!!" he roars. Another speech bubble continues, "AT THAT TIME, IF YOU STAYED TRUE TO YOUR NAME." Kaido presses on, "YOU'RE REALLY LIKE THE TYPE OF PIRATE WHITEBEARD AND ROGER WERE, A POWERFUL TYPE BUT WITH A CERTAIN SOFTNESS...!!! BUT YOU CHOSE THE WAY THAT DID NOT HARM ANYBODY...!!!" Oden stands firm below, glaring upward. "LET'S TALK ABOUT THE IMMINENT FUTURE, INSTEAD. I DON'T REGRET THE CHOICE THAT I MADE THAT DAY," he declares. The dragon form of Kaido looms closer, declaring, "NAKED, MOCKED AND DESPISED. YOU ARE THE SAME!! THE FOOL WHO DANCES AND DANCES!! WORORO!! YOU HAVE NOTHING LEFT, NOT EVEN YOUR FAMILY NAME'S AUTHORITY!!" Oden's intense face fills a panel as he listens, sweat and determination visible.

A massive chaotic battle erupts as Oden charges through a horde of Beast Pirates. Dozens of enemies swarm with weapons raised, axes, swords, and clubs swinging wildly amid impact lines and debris. Oden, in his striped kimono and topknot, cuts through the crowd with his swords, sending foes flying. Close-ups show snarling, screaming pirates with wild expressions. The panel shifts to a dramatic close-up of Oden's face, eyes narrowed and teeth gritted in fierce resolve as he presses the assault amid flying bodies and shattered weapons.

Oden fights on, blades flashing as he strikes down multiple opponents. "MARCH FORWARD, STEP BACK LORD ODEN!!" a voice shouts amid the fray. Enemies panic, one yelling, "DO NOT PANIC, WE OUTNUMBER THEM!!!" Another cries, "WAIT, THERE ARE 'SAMURAI' HEREI! AREN'T THEY TOO STRONGI!" A rapid sequence of close-up reaction panels shows terrified and enraged Beast Pirates with wide eyes, open mouths, and sweat drops as Oden's assault continues. Oden's determined face appears among the chaos, pushing forward relentlessly.

The scene shifts to a traditional Wano building where several figures gather. Speech bubbles read, "BECAUSE HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN ARE IN DANGER... HE ASKED ME FOR HELP... I RECEIVED ODEN'S LETTER." A woman notes, "MOMONOSUKE... HUM, LORD MOMONOSUKE IS ALREADY 8..." Outside, a distant view of the Flower Capital shows a large torii gate and castle. A woman with dark hair says, "IF ODEN IS BEATEN..." A fierce man with a scar growls at her, "O-TOKI, YOU MUST PREPARE YOURSELF... THEN IT WOULD BE THE END... OF THIS COUNTRY!!" Sound effects and motion lines emphasize the tension as the group reacts with shock.

Explosions and rapid movement shake the battlefield as a figure leaps through the air with a blade. "ダダダダダ" SFX trails behind the motion. In the chaos below, a goggled fighter grins wildly while another stitched-face man reacts with shock. "HÉHÉ!" "!!" A voice cries "OUAH!!" as impacts land. A young woman with pigtails and a scarf leaps into the fray, sword drawn. "FORGIVE MY IMPUDENCE, BUT I CAME TO YOUR AID!!" she declares. An unseen voice demands "WHO GOES THEREI! FFFSSSH" while another warns "YOU MUST HAVE FORGOTTEN, BUT WHEN LORD SUKIYAKI WAS STILL ALIVE..." Multiple "!I" reactions punctuate the sudden arrival amid the fighting samurai and pirates.

Shinobu stands firm and smiles. "I STAYED ON DUTY AT THE PALACE BECAUSE I HAD FAITH IN THE RETURN OF THE KOZUKI FAMILY, BUT... I'M HERE!" A fierce scarred man with wild hair roars "SHI-NOBUI!" with "!!" reaction. Shinobu continues with a serious expression: "I CANNOT BLAME THEM FOR LOSING FAITH IN A 'FOOL OF A LORD'!!! IT WAS MY DREAM TO BE AT YOUR SERVICE, LORD ODEN, BUT I COULDN'T STAY AT THE PALACE ANYMORE!! FINALLY FELL INTO OROCHI'S HANDS!! THE KOZUKI FAMILY AND FUKUROKUJU'S FORCES...." In a dramatic wide shot, she pleads "LET ME JOIN YOU!!!" amid smoke and rubble. A boxed narration reads "IN FRONT OF THESE ELEVEN REBELLING SAMURAI..." The scarred man shouts "YOU DID NOT CHOOSE THE EASIEST PATH, SHINOBU!!" as a massive dragon-like form looms in the background with "れあああああああ!!" SFX.

Kozuki Oden clashes fiercely with the massive dragon form of Kaido in mid-air. "BE CAREFUL!!" a voice warns as Oden is hurled back. Narration boxes state: "THERE ARE STRONG PEOPLE!! ONE THOUSAND PIRATES STOOD UP. NONETHELESS, THE BATTLE WAS LONG AND THE ENDURANCE OF KOZUKI ODEN FAR EXCEEDED WHAT HIS ENEMIES IMAGINED." Oden, gripping his swords, declares "ODEN NITORYU" with a fierce glare. Kaido's dragon head lunges as Oden counters with "THE ONLY HEAD I WANT TO SLICE OFF IS YOURS!!!" Impact lines and "オラァァァ" SFX fill the panel while "OHARG!" erupts from the clash.

Kaido's dragon form is struck hard. "WAS SLICED!!" reads the narration as "THE INVINCIBLE MASTER KAIDO" is wounded, with "OARG..." and "ザギャァァァ" SFX. Oden presses the assault. "DO NOT SET FOOT ON WANO EVER AGAIN!!!" he shouts. A young voice cries "HELP ME, FATHER!!" while another warns "STOP RIGHT THERE, ODEN!!" Massive impact SFX "ギャギャ" and "ガシャア" erupt as Oden lands his strike. A large panel shows the dragon recoiling violently with debris flying. The finishing technique is labeled "TOGEN TOTSUKA!!!" as Oden's blades cleave through Kaido amid smoke and destruction.

A massive impact erupts with a huge SFX. Young Momonosuke cries out, "MOMO... FATHER!!" In the chaos, Kozuki Oden clashes violently with a massive horned beast-like figure, swinging a club while debris flies. A samurai in a topknot reaches desperately toward the fight. Oden's face twists in rage as he presses the attack. Below, a close-up shows Oden's furious expression with "KYOKYO KYOKYOKYO!!"

A hooded woman stands in the ruined capital as onlookers gossip: "I DON'T KNOW THIS WOMAN, SHE DOESN'T WORK FOR ME! HE'S AN EXHIBITIONIST! IT'S ALMOST A SHAME THAT MEANS WE WON'T SEE HIM DANCING NAKED IN THE STREET EVERY WEEK." The hooded figure is confronted: "WHO SENT YOUI! WHO ARE YOUI! DIE KUNOICHI! YOU WANTED TO KILL ME, DIDN'T YOUI" Elsewhere, a woman with a child asks, "MOTHER, IS FATHER GOING TO COME HOME SOONI!" A narration states, "THE SENTENCE OF THE SAMURAIS HAS BEEN DECIDED!"
