Short Summary
Toki tends to Oden after he rescued her from the kidnappers. On the next day, they are confronted by the kidnappers and their leader, Karma. Whitebeard intervenes and knocks out Karma. Whitebeard accepts Oden into his crew because of his selflessness.

Toki, Izou, and the stowaways Inuarashi and Nekomamushi become part of Whitebeard's crew as well. Oden travels to various places and has many eventful experiences. Oden and Toki also has a son together and the infant is given the name Kozuki Momonosuke.

Long Summary
Toki took care of Oden as he recovered from his swelling. Toki explained that she dreamed of going to Wano Country. However, the next day they are confronted by the thugs from earlier, the Takotopus Pirates led by their captain Karma. However, Whitebeard suddenly appeared and knocked out Karma with a single hit. The other thugs were scared off at the sight of an emperor.

Since Oden gave up his ambition to save a woman, Whitebeard allowed Oden onto his ship. Izou, Toki, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi were also accepted in. Oden would prove to be one of the most violently powerful members of the crew, as he sunk an enemy ship before his crew got the chance to plunder it. Travelling across several distant lands, he recorded all his adventures in his journal.

Oden got close with Toki, who explained that her parents were born in Wano Country so she wanted to visit the country. Eventually, during Oden's second year in the crew, they had a child and named him Momonosuke. He became a wanted pirate overseas, and when Whitebeard decided to segment his crew into divisions, Oden became the commander of the second division.

Back at Wano Country, the shogun Sukiyaki falls critically ill and had to select an heir. Since Oden was absent, he decided to appoint Kurozumi Orochi as his proxy. Meanwhile, the Roger Pirates were informed about a new samurai from Wano working under Whitebeard. Roger decided that he wanted to meet the samurai himself.
