Roger ### Summary Page 0: The cover presents Chapter 964, "Oden's Adventure." The cover story reads, "Gang Bege's 'Oh My Family' vol. 14: 'We're going to infect all of you with the kiss-kiss germ!!'" Bege's group is chased through Dressrosa by the Germs pirates, continuing the cover serial rather than the chapter's main Wano flashback. Page 2: Oden's desire for the sea cannot be stopped. In Wano, his retainers cry, "You cannot do that!!" but Oden shouts back, "I want to adventure... out at sea!!" He asks Whitebeard directly, "Just take me with you!!" The Whitebeard Pirates are alarmed, asking, "Weren't you just trying to kill the captain?" Whitebeard refuses because Oden is not the kind of man who would be content as a follower. He knows from experience that a band of people like that only creates trouble. Oden insists that he has tried dozens of times but cannot sail or navigate and begs Whitebeard to take him, but Whitebeard tells him to set sail on his own. Page 3: Whitebeard makes it clear that leaving Wano is a crime that carries severe punishment. He says he never intended to take Oden with him anyway, but Oden answers with complete certainty: "I want to go on this adventure, whether it is legal or not!! I want to see the world!!" Marco mocks Oden's tiny sense of geography, telling him, "You think there's only five islands in the whole world!? Hahaha!! Don't be ridiculous!!" and adds that even if Oden guessed ten or twenty thousand, he would still be far off. Two weeks later, Oden still begs to go. Toki watches him and says, "I am a daimyo, remember! A daimyo!! ...Please go ahead." Oden only wants to relieve himself in peace, while somewhere else a report warns that there are countless islands out there. Page 4: Whitebeard decides the safest option is to sneak away in the dead of night. If strength were all that mattered, he would let Oden join, but taking him could look like kidnapping royalty and create political problems. The crew also remembers that Wano gave them treasure, food, and repair supplies. As the ship pulls away, the chain suddenly rattles. Whitebeard sees it and realizes Oden has already attached himself to the ship. Oden calls from the water, "Whitebeard!!" and shouts, "No, I knew you were up to something, Lord Oden!! But I am going to stop you!!" Page 5: Oden hangs from the ship's chain as it races away from Wano. His retainers scream, "Oden!!" and he answers with desperate joy: "Please let me join you!! Please let me see the world!! Leaving this country is my dream!!" Izo, dragged into the water with him, protests, "You must return with me!! You are the heir to the shogunate!!" Whitebeard tells Marco not to worry about the others and orders, "Pull up the guy that's holding him back. And only that guy...!!" Marco obeys, pulling Izo aboard while Oden remains in the raging water. Whitebeard says Oden will hopefully float back to shore quietly. Page 6: In Wano, Oden's absence becomes a crisis. People shout, "Lord Oden is... missing?!" and "Whitebeard's ship is also gone!!" Kuri's retainers search across the country, but they try not to assume the worst. They cannot find Izo either, nor the dog and cat. Meanwhile, far from shore, Oden is battered by the sea while still clinging to the chain. The ship drags him through waves and rocks as he screams, "Uwaaaa aaaah!!!" Page 7: On the ship, the crew worries that Oden will die at this rate, but Whitebeard has chosen a test. He tells Izo that Oden still wants to join and go out to sea, and now they will handle it this way. Whitebeard says Oden has three days to convince him if he wants to change his fate. If Oden can keep hold of the chain for the next three days, Whitebeard will let him join. Oden coughs seawater but lights up when he hears it: "Really!?" Whitebeard confirms, "Yeah. I'm serious." Page 8: Oden endures the impossible trial. The ship sails through monstrous waves, fish, rocks, and freezing spray while Oden is smashed again and again behind it. The crew watches in disbelief and asks, "Is he still there?" Even swollen and exhausted, Oden remains on the chain. Someone says, "He is...!! The guy's unbelievable...!!" and another admits it is hard to tell if he is even the same person. With only one hour left, they shout encouragement: "Don't give up, Oden!! You've only got one hour left!!" Marco wonders whether Oden is already practically one of them after coming this far. Page 9: The Whitebeard Pirates keep cheering Oden through the last stretch: "You can do it, Oden!!" "Keep it up, Oden!!" "Almost there!!" "Hang in there!!" Izo, still angry at Whitebeard for putting his master through this, says, "I will never forgive you... for making my master go through all this, Whitebeard!!" The crew promis...
