"Luxurious and Gorgeous - Wano's Most Beautiful Woman, Komurasaki" is the 921st episode of the One Piece anime

Short Summary
Wano's most popular courtesan heads to the palace, but a revenge plot threatens the proceedings.

Long Summary
Komurasaki the oiran parades through the streets of the Flower Capital, stunning the spectators with her beauty.

In Udon, Luffy continues to break rocks but is approached by Caribou, who begs him for food. Previously, Caribou met Luffy in the Sabaody Archipelago and terrorized Fish-Man Island, but was defeated by Luffy. He would later continue his crimes in the New World until being captured by X Drake, and was sent to Udon for hard labour.

Meanwhile, Kyoshiro's henchmen who were defeated by Sanji report to their leader. Kyoshiro is unfazed, but decides to contact Queen to send assassins after Sanji. At the castle, Orochi finally appears as a multi-headed serpent.

At the procession, a group of people threatens to assassinate Komurasaki. However, they are swiftly defeated by guards.

More about one of the assassins, an old man named Bingo, is revealed. Bingo was an old man who fell in love with Komurasaki, who promised him that they could live together if Bingo bought her freedom from the pleasure house. To earn money, Bingo became a miserly moneylender, who sold his storehouse, abandoned his wife, and stopped buying medicine for himself to save money. Sickly and homeless, Bingo finally raised the money to free Komurasaki from the pleasure house.

He would find out, however, that Komurasaki spent Bingo's money on herself, and she had no intention of marrying him. Bingo was humiliated, penniless and heartbroken, and was cruelly beaten by other men.

Back in the present day, Bingo and the other assassins are exiled from the Flower Capital for being poor. Komurasaki reveals that she exploits unsuspecting men for their money.
