## One Piece Chapter 965, pages 7-8: The Kurozumi Plot - Chapter: 965 - Pages: 7-8 - Characters: Kurozumi Orochi, Kozuki Sukiyaki, Kozuki Oden, Shimotsuki Yasuie, Kurozumi Higurashi ### Summary Page 7: Orochi performs humility before the gathered lords. He says, "Humbly accept this gracious opportunity to clear the maligned Kurozumi name." For being given such a chance, he claims he will remain indebted to Lord Sukiyaki and Lord Oden for as long as he lives. He says he will use his little capability "to prepare the throne for Oden's ascension" and swears, "I swear to serve as a mere puppet till the day Lord Oden returns!" When asked why he kept his Kurozumi identity secret, he apologizes. But in private, his apology becomes something darker, repeated under his breath as he grins: "I apologize..." Page 8: Orochi remembers the night his path changed. In the rain, an old woman cracked with laughter and told him, "I see it... I see the future!" She foretold, "You... will be shogun!" Orochi panicked and shouted, "Don't scare me like that, old lady! Who even are you?!" but her words lodged in him. The promise of the shogunate became the beginning of his ambition, not as a distant dream, but as something she claimed was waiting for him.
