## One Piece Chapter 963, pages 9-10: Becoming Samurai - Chapter: 963 - Pages: 9-10 - Characters: Shimotsuki Yasuie, Kinemon, Denjiro, Raizo, Kanjuro, Izo, Kikunojo, Ashura Doji, Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, Kawamatsu, Kozuki Oden ### Summary Page 9: In Hakumai, Yasuie captures Oden's followers trying to steal money. He asks, "Why were you trying to steal so much money?" They answer, "Because Sir Oden needed money!!" Yasuie knows exactly what kind of people Oden has gathered, muttering, "That damn Oden... He sure recruited some odd characters..." Instead of punishing them, he says, "I will give you the money you tried to steal...!!" His own attendants panic that Hakumai will run out of money, but Yasuie gives even more and tells them, "Take this, too!! Use it wisely." When the retainers ask whether he truly loves Oden, he stares them down and prepares to explain what their loyalty must become. Page 10: Yasuie tells Oden's followers what to do with the money: "To dress properly." He tells them to learn manners, buy books, and fill themselves with knowledge and wisdom. If they are hoodlums who want to become Oden's retainers, they are far too crude as they are. He even corrects how they speak, telling them the formal term samurai use to address themselves is "sessha." The group begins to change, awkwardly practicing etiquette, studying, and trying to behave with dignity. When Oden sees them suddenly acting strangely, he asks why they are being so creepy. They answer with stiff politeness, "Lord Oden, we bid you a good morning!!" while others warn that if they continue as they were, they would only bring shame to his name.
