## One Piece Chapter 962, pages 8-9: The Daimyo and His Retainers - Chapter: 962 - Pages: 8-9 - Characters: Kozuki Oden, Kinemon, Denjiro, Raizo, Kanjuro, Izo, Kikunojo, Ashura Doji ### Summary Page 8: Kuri's rules are brutal and simple: one is free to enter, but leaving means death. The ruffians tell Oden's group, "Tell your boss... that a samurai has come." Oden looks at the place and judges it without hesitation: "How stifling! Such an environment is unfit for humans." The rule he hates most is "Never leave..." so he smashes into Kuri's violence directly. As dust rises from the mountain, his followers hurry after him. People shout, "Hurry, look for Lord Oden!!" and "Sir Oden!! We are here to help!!" while Kinemon realizes, "He must be there!!" Oden notes that they followed him even out there. Page 9: By the time the others arrive, Oden is sitting atop the defeated Ashura Doji. He apologizes as if he merely took a detour: "Sorry... I just finished up here..." and admits, "It took all night... I cannot believe it took that long!!" The witnesses understand the scale of it: "So this is the power of the infamous Ashura Doji!!!" But Oden has already made his decision. He tells Ashura, "I will be needing your strength and wits... I have decided that I want to... become the king of these scumbags!!" Kinemon, still shaken, asks whether they still adore him after seeing where his life is headed. The followers answer without regret: "I have no regrets."
