## One Piece Chapter 969, pages 4-5: The Idiot Lord - Chapter: 969 - Pages: 4-5 - Characters: Kozuki Oden, Kurozumi Orochi, Kurozumi Semimaru, Kurozumi Higurashi, Kozuki Sukiyaki, Kaido ### Summary 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. Page 5: Orochi sneers that he will never hand the title back because Oden does not have the authority of a shogun. Then Higurashi steps forward wearing the face of Oden's father, Sukiyaki. Oden recoils: "Eh?! Father?!" and asks why they are all there. Higurashi laughs, "All these fools, starting with the daimyo... they all fell for this old hag's lies!!" By disguising herself with the power of the "Clone Clone Fruit," she fooled the entire country and enabled Orochi to take the position of shogun. Oden realizes his father's death and the succession were manipulated, and Orochi twists the knife: in other words, Oden has no obligation to receive the title, and no one cares what the real Sukiyaki thought.
