## One Piece Chapter 971, pages 8-9: Condemned to Boil - Chapter: 971 - Pages: 8-9 - Characters: Kozuki Oden, Kurozumi Orochi, Kin'emon, Denjiro, Ashura Doji, Kanjuro, Raizo, Kikunojo, Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, Kawamatsu, Kaido ### Summary Page 8: Orochi complains that the retainers are not submerged in oil, but Oden says, "But all ten of them are in the pot! I have no complaints!!" The crowd begins to understand the impossible strength before them. Someone says, "He's carrying nine well built samurai like that!?" and another answers that to do such a feat in boiling oil, he must have colossal strength. A watcher calls it a waste. Smoke and steam rise while Oden's body darkens from the heat. One of the retainers can only whisper, "Lord Oden..." as the country watches the man they mocked carrying everyone. Page 9: The clock ticks while Oden continues to stand. Orochi laughs, "What's the matter? It hasn't even been one minute yet, you know?" and the retainers cry, "Lord Oden, let us down!!!" Kaido watches in silence as the oil keeps bubbling. Onlookers ask, "What kind of skin does he have?" The impossible endurance changes the mood. Oden has become the center of the capital, no longer an idiot dancing in the street, but a man whose body refuses to die.
