## One Piece Chapter 971, pages 14-15: Condemned to Boil - Chapter: 971 - Pages: 14-15 - Characters: Shinobu, Kozuki Oden, Kurozumi Orochi, Kaido, Kin'emon, Denjiro, Ashura Doji, Kanjuro, Raizo, Kikunojo, Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, Kawamatsu ### Summary Page 14: Shinobu continues with what Oden discovered in the back room: offerings to Kaido, countless weapons, and hundreds of kidnapped people. Those people are sold, used for fun, or simply killed; once they are taken, their lives are over. Oden was furious, but Orochi made a proposal. If Oden went to war, he would lose, and the kidnappings would continue. The enemy had never cared about Wano as a country; they only wanted revenge. Anyone could see that victory was not the only thing at stake. Oden's choice to dance was a desperate bargain to save lives while waiting for a promised departure. Page 15: Shinobu finally explains Oden's five years of humiliation. Every week, at an agreed time, he danced naked as a sign of apology toward the Kurozumi family. All the while, he visited every town each week to see if there were any changes. He believed Orochi's promise that they would leave the country after five years, after the shipbuilding was completed. Even though he lost everything, Oden continued dancing because each time he did, he saved 100 lives. Shinobu demands the crowd answer: "So who's the idiot lord?!" Oden, still burning in the pot and carrying his men, says through tears and rage, "I dare you to repeat it!!"
