## One Piece Chapter 970, pages 9-10: Oden vs Kaido - Chapter: 970 - Pages: 9-10 - Characters: Shinobu, Kozuki Oden, Kin'emon, Fukurokuju, Kurozumi Orochi, Kaido, Denjiro, Ashura Doji, Kanjuro, Raizo, Kikunojo, Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, Kawamatsu ### Summary Page 9: Shinobu says that the Kozuki family and Fukurokuju's forces finally fell into Orochi's hands. Her dream had been to serve Oden, but she could no longer stay at the palace. Oden's group is surprised, but Shinobu says she cannot blame anyone for losing faith in "a fool of a lord." She turns to the eleven rebelling samurai and asks to join them: "Let me join you!!!" Kin'emon recognizes her resolve, telling her, "You did not choose the easiest path, Shinobu!" The group accepts another person willing to gamble everything on Oden's battle. Page 10: One thousand pirates stand in Oden's way, and someone warns, "There are strong people!!" But the battle lasts long, and Oden's endurance far exceeds what his enemies imagined. He fights through the army and reaches Kaido himself. With Oden Nitoryu, he declares, "The only head I want to slice off is yours!!" Kaido's dragon body towers above him, but Oden is close enough to strike. The entire battle narrows to the confrontation Yasuie feared and Wano needs.
