## One Piece Chapter 965, pages 10-11: The Kurozumi Plot - Chapter: 965 - Pages: 10-11 - Characters: Kurozumi Orochi, Kurozumi Higurashi, Kozuki Sukiyaki ### Summary Page 10: The old woman describes the Kurozumi plot's failure. Preparations were made to poison every last one of the crafty daimyo standing in the way, and one after another the shogun's rivals complained of internal strife and disappeared. The sight worried the shogun, and eventually he fell ill too. The plan was nearly complete when the world itself came within reach, but then Sukiyaki Kozuki was born as an heir. The old woman curses Sukiyaki because the Kurozumi were unable to take over Wano once the plan was revealed. She tells Orochi that his grandfather was forced to commit hara-kiri and that his house was disbanded, its lands, castle, and status stolen. Page 11: The old woman keeps pressing Orochi's grievance. She says the Kurozumi name was slandered by the people, and his family was forced into the street with nothing. She asks, "So who is to blame for the destitute life you now lead?! Whose fault is it?!" Orochi answers with rage: "Sukiyaki Kozuki! The one of ill birth!" The old woman tells him that if Sukiyaki had not been born, Orochi would have been shogun one day. When Orochi asks if she is a Kurozumi, she says it does not matter who she is; she has been abroad for many years, labored long and hard, and has returned with the means to help him seize power.
