## One Piece Chapter 969, pages 3-4: The Idiot Lord - Chapter: 969 - Pages: 3-4 - Characters: Kozuki Oden, Kurozumi Orochi, Kurozumi Semimaru, Kurozumi Higurashi, Kozuki Sukiyaki, Kaido ### Summary Page 3: The biwa priest Kurozumi Semimaru tells Orochi there is no need to worry: "Have faith in my 'Bart Bart' technique." Oden demands, "Come out, Orochi!!" and asks, "Is this glass? No!!" but Semimaru's barrier will not allow anyone to come closer. The old hag Kurozumi Higurashi explains the truth: "As a pirate, you should know... about the abnormal power of 'Devil Fruits'!!" Oden realizes Orochi's side is using ability users, people some in Wano call "magicians." Orochi laughs, "Muhahaha Oden!!! Using force and anger to solve problems, the other villages' daimyo tried that as well!!!" then boasts, "But nobody can kill me!!!" Page 4: Outside, Wano's people believe Oden has returned to save them. They cry, "Did you see?! Lord Oden dashed towards the palace!!" "The legitimate heir of the Kozuki clan has returned!!" "Wonderful!! We will have a new shogun!!" and "He will definitely take care of Orochi!! And of Kaido too!!" Inside the palace, Oden demands answers. He says he never wanted fame, only to rule Wano into a better state, and orders Orochi, "So return the title of 'Shogun' at once!!!" Orochi responds by hiding behind technicalities: apparently Sukiyaki appointed him only as "proxy shogun" until the day Oden returned.
