## One Piece Chapter 971, pages 13-14: Condemned to Boil - Chapter: 971 - Pages: 13-14 - Characters: Kurozumi Orochi, Shinobu, Kozuki Oden, Kurozumi Family, Kaido ### Summary Page 13: Orochi exposes the root of his revenge. His old man broke the law and was made to commit seppuku, but the people treated every remaining Kurozumi as if they carried the crime themselves. They were chased down by vigilantes, beaten, thrown into rivers, and killed. Orochi admits he was scared to sleep. Even though the one who committed the crime was dead, anyone who bore the name Kurozumi was treated like a criminal. That is why, in Orochi's mind, all the people of Wano deserve punishment. Oden listens in silence as the country's hidden hatred and Orochi's twisted answer are laid bare. Page 14: Shinobu continues with what Oden discovered in the back room: offerings to Kaido, countless weapons, and hundreds of kidnapped people. Those people are sold, used for fun, or simply killed; once they are taken, their lives are over. Oden was furious, but Orochi made a proposal. If Oden went to war, he would lose, and the kidnappings would continue. The enemy had never cared about Wano as a country; they only wanted revenge. Anyone could see that victory was not the only thing at stake. Oden's choice to dance was a desperate bargain to save lives while waiting for a promised departure.
