## One Piece Chapter 970, pages 2-3: Oden vs Kaido - Chapter: 970 - Pages: 2-3 - Characters: Kozuki Oden, Kaido, Kurozumi Orochi, Hyogoro ### Summary Page 2: Oden reaches the battlefield and finds Kaido waiting. Kaido says, "Here he is, what a surprise...!!" but Oden sees through the situation immediately. Kaido admits, "There might well be a spy inside your palace, Wororororo..." Oden explains that he was on his way to Kaido's deserted land to cut off his drunk head and that he did not plan an intense fight. Kaido answers that he does not want to transform his new home into a battlefield, so he came to meet Oden's group instead. The two forces face each other in the open, and the battle Oden tried to avoid has been forced upon him. Page 3: Oden realizes the five-year promise was a lie and shouts, "Kaido!!! It was all a lie, eh?" Kaido confirms it without remorse: "That's right... Wororo. It was all a lie." He explains that if Oden had teamed up with Hyogoro upon his return, the samurai and gangsters all over Wano could have gathered as enemies, and at that time Kaido's side was at a disadvantage. They were short on men, and a war then would have become excruciating for them. Oden understands that his years of endurance were used against him, giving Orochi and Kaido the time they needed to strengthen their hold on Wano.
