## One Piece Chapter 950, pages 9-11: The Dreams of the Strong - Chapter: 950 - Pages: 9-11 - Characters: Ashura Doji, Kaido, Orochi, Kinemon, Inuarashi, Kozuki Oden ### Summary Page 9: Ashura's memories show why the surviving rebels broke. They refuse to bend the knee to Orochi, saying, "We don't even have food! We'll die of illness before the battle even happens." Kaido's army destroys their well and burns their crops while they shout, "It's Kaido's army!" and, "They destroyed our well!" "They burned our crops!" Shutenmaru says, "We can't take this anymore." The men would rather die fighting than leave as samurai no longer: "Quit complaining! This isn't a dog's death! If we don't gather as much men as we can under the Kozuki name, we don't stand a chance!" They raise their swords and cry, "If we're not long for this world, we want to leave as samurai. At least... let us die with our swords in our hands! Don't stop us!" Page 10: The old rebels remember the words they used as children. They ask, "D'ya remember? When we were kids... we had a chant we'd scream to test our courage. We knew that people get scared, because they value their own lives!" Then they turn the thought into a battle cry: "To throw away our names and thoughts! We'd yell that we needed... clear your mind and dive into the fray!" The shout becomes "NO LIFE AND NO FEAR!" as boats race toward death. They call across the water, "Come back! Come back, men!" but the men keep going. The chant that once tested courage becomes the sound of desperation. Page 11: At the graves, Ashura asks, "Why so long... why twenty years?" Kinemon says, "Only the one who sent us can know," and Ashura answers, "There must have been some reason!" Even so, he has no intention of doubting Lord Oden's aims. He tells the men, "Oi, men! The time has come! Eight days from today, on the night of fire festival! Under the Kozuki banner, we will raid Onigashima and end the terror of the pirate Kaido and Shogun Orochi! If you've got the guts, join us!"
