## One Piece Chapter 971, pages 12-13: Condemned to Boil - Chapter: 971 - Pages: 12-13 - Characters: Shinobu, Kurozumi Orochi, Kozuki Oden, Kurozumi Family ### Summary Page 12: Shinobu tells the people the truth they never understood. She screams, "To whom do you think you owe this peace you're living in today!? You will only realise once you have lost Lord Oden! You will see how much he protected you from danger!!" She explains that Orochi is neither a shogun nor a dictator in the ordinary sense: "Orochi doesn't want to stand on top of others." He wanted revenge on the country itself. Orochi confirms it without shame: "I received the rank of shogun!! In order to destroy this country!!! And in order to exact my revenge!!!" The peaceful ignorance of Wano begins to crack. Page 13: Orochi exposes the root of his revenge. His old man broke the law and was made to commit seppuku, but the people treated every remaining Kurozumi as if they carried the crime themselves. They were chased down by vigilantes, beaten, thrown into rivers, and killed. Orochi admits he was scared to sleep. Even though the one who committed the crime was dead, anyone who bore the name Kurozumi was treated like a criminal. That is why, in Orochi's mind, all the people of Wano deserve punishment. Oden listens in silence as the country's hidden hatred and Orochi's twisted answer are laid bare.
