There is no longer hope for Wano; this punishment has gone on far too long. The people realize that the subordinates of Kaido and Orochi have surrounded them with weapons in hand. They scatter in panic, shouting, "Damnit, we're pathetic," and asking, "So he was the one who saved us that day?" The explanation for Oden's strange actions over the last five years spreads quickly through Wano. Around the boiling pot, the crowd's mockery turns into shame, but the men with weapons make sure that shame cannot become rescue. Page 4: A message system using arrows spreads important news across Wano's provinces, because these arrows can cross huge distances. The truth reaches more and more people while Oden still holds the plank above the oil. The oil in the pot has heated to over 700 degrees and continues rising. The people now cry, "Oden-sama!!" "Oden-sama stay alive!!" "We knew nothing, sorry for insulting you!!" and "Thank you for protecting us!!" But Oden, still carrying his retainers, answers sharply, "It's a little late, bunch of defectors!!" and then, with the same absurd honesty that made him Oden, adds, "You're welcome, I'm doing my best!!"
