## One Piece Chapter 972, pages 15-16: I Am Oden, and I Was Born to Boil - Chapter: 972 - Pages: 15-16 - Characters: Kozuki Oden, Kaido, Kurozumi Orochi, Amatsuki Toki, Kozuki Momonosuke, Kozuki Hiyori ### Summary Page 15: The people of Wano cry out the completed phrase, "The better he is!!!" as the capital shakes with grief. Oden's final fall echoes through the pot, and the narrator says, "A legend had just bowed out." The people who mocked him now scream and weep. The music of the boiling oil and the closing "Beben!" turn his death into a performance no one can forget. Oden has died, but the meaning of his life has finally reached the country. Page 16: News reaches Toki: "Lady Toki, we just heard of the death of Oden-sama. His last moments were said to be admirable." Toki is not allowed to collapse. She remembers Oden's words: "Toki, I have reached my limits. If I don't manage to knock down Kaido, no one of our time will succeed." He told her that in a little more than twenty years, a gigantic war capable of separating the oceans would surely break out, and that the protagonists of this immense war would arise in the New World. They would be the ones who could defeat Kaido. As a long winter brews in Wano, Toki looks at her sleeping children and understands that the future must be protected.
