## One Piece Chapter 969, pages 2-3: The Idiot Lord - Chapter: 969 - Pages: 2-3 - Characters: Kozuki Oden, Kurozumi Orochi, Kurozumi Semimaru, Kurozumi Higurashi ### Summary Page 2: Oden tries to understand what stopped him. A strange old biwa player raises his hands, and a transparent wall forms between Oden and Orochi. Oden hits it again, but the barrier holds. Orochi pants in terror while Oden asks, "What is this thing?!" and then, "What?!" The attack has not failed because Oden lacked strength; it has failed because Orochi is being protected by an ability Oden has never seen before. Page 3: The biwa priest Kurozumi Semimaru tells Orochi there is no need to worry: "Have faith in my 'Bart Bart' technique." Oden demands, "Come out, Orochi!!" and asks, "Is this glass? No!!" but Semimaru's barrier will not allow anyone to come closer. The old hag Kurozumi Higurashi explains the truth: "As a pirate, you should know... about the abnormal power of 'Devil Fruits'!!" Oden realizes Orochi's side is using ability users, people some in Wano call "magicians." Orochi laughs, "Muhahaha Oden!!! Using force and anger to solve problems, the other villages' daimyo tried that as well!!!" then boasts, "But nobody can kill me!!!"
