## One Piece Chapter 969, pages 0-2: The Idiot Lord - Chapter: 969 - Pages: 0-2 - Characters: Gotti, Capone Bege, Kozuki Oden, Kurozumi Orochi, Amatsuki Toki, Kurozumi Semimaru ### Summary Page 0: The cover introduces Chapter 969, "The Idiot Lord," with the cover story "Gang Bege's Oh My Family Vol. 18: 'Gotti vs the Marine.'" The art shows Gotti in action against the Marines during the cover serial. This is useful extra material, separate from the main Wano flashback. Page 1: Oden's blade comes down toward Orochi with killing force. Orochi screams, "Aaahh!!" while Oden roars his name: "Orochi!!!" The attack is "Tranche Lemale Oden!" and it should have cut straight through him, but someone shouts, "Wait, Oden!! Stop!!" Toki's warning echoes in Oden's mind: "Stop, Oden! If you get angry over something trivial like this the enemy will only..." The sword does not reach Orochi. Instead, Oden slams into an invisible force and is thrown back, leaving everyone staring at the impossible defense. 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.
