Oden's Log: Exploits of the Great Samurai
Twenty-five years in the past, Kozuki Oden prepared to depart the Roger Pirates to open the borders of Wano. His crewmates offered their help, but Oden was confident that he and his vassals could achieve it in preparation for a certain event two decades in the future.

Back in the present, the day of the Fire Festival arrived and the Wano citizens began their celebrations as Orochi set out for Onigashima, leaving Kyoshiro in charge of the capital. However, at the alliance's promised meeting place of Tokage Port, the Nine Red Scabbards stood alone on a stormy coast with none of their allies in sight and their ships turned into wreckage. Unbeknownst to them, it so happened that Orochi was aware of their plotting due to a spy among their ranks, and the shogun was able to use this information to attack the alliance's ships the night prior as well as destroy the bridges connecting the country's regions, preventing anyone from getting into Udon. Left aghast at their misfortune, the Scabbards nevertheless knew that this day was their only option for attack, and so set sail on a small boat that Inuarashi found still intact, hoping that they could possibly still launch an ambush on Kaidou. They left Momonosuke on the mainland with Shinobu, telling the boy to keep safe so he could live on regardless of what happened to them; they were content to die remaining in service to Oden.

Forty-one years ago, an 18-year old Oden arrived at the Flower Capital after yet another failed attempt to set sail out of the country. This Oden was a delinquent who spent his entire youth getting into violent conflicts, and by this point his father, the shogun Kozuki Sukiyaki, had had enough of him and made the decision to disown him. Meanwhile, a young delinquent named Kin'emon overheard a group of men talking at Tsuru's tea shop about a very valuable white boar they had found; later, he ambushed them and took the boar for himself. Kin'emon went to Flower Capital and met with the swindler Denjiro, who revealed that the boar was the child of the legendary Mountain God which would destroy entire villages to rescue its young. As he said this, the Mountain God arrived at the capital and began devouring numerous civilians and buildings. However, Oden then found Kin'emon and Denjiro and told them to give the boar to him. Kin'emon initially resisted, but then learned from one of the men he mugged that the Mountain God had attacked their group and eaten Tsuru, causing him to go and attack the creature. The Mountain God defeated Kin'emon, but Oden then caught its attention with its offspring. As the Mountain God raced to him, Oden bisected it at the mouth, freeing all of the people it had eaten. In the immediate aftermath of this incident, Oden received notice of his disownment. This news did not bother him at all, as he proceeded to walk out of the capital a liberated man. Kin'emon and Denjiro decided to follow after him, and the rest of the men in the capital all considered it as well, but ultimately hesitated.

Oden, Kin'emon and Denjiro went to stay with Yasuie in Hakumai, where they met his new manservant Orochi. While there, Oden became interested in the lawless land of Kuri and eventually set out to go there. During this expedition, they were joined by Izou, Kikunojo, Kanjuro, and Raizo, all of whom wished to follow Oden due to being downtrodden outcasts; additonally, Oden began keeping a log of his travels. One day, Oden left the others for two days to enter Kuri, which was being ruled by the might of Ashura Doji. His followers eventually realized where he had gone, and as they arrived they were shocked to see that Oden had defeated Ashura and his men. Oden decided that he needed to rule over Kuri, and he and his followers rounded up the outlaws and restored order to the region. Upon receiving news of this, an impressed Sukiyaki chose to revoke his disownment of Oden and grant his son the title of daimyo over Kuri. Upon receiving this title, Oden decided to make his followers, which now included Ashura Doji, into his retainers.

Six years passed, and the minks Inuarashi and Nekomamushi ended up washing ashore on Wano after setting sail from Zou to find it. The fish-man Kawamatsu encountered them, but the three of them were then persecuted by xenophobic civilians. However, Oden arrived and chased the persecutors away, and although he had no intention of having the young minks and Kawamatsu following him, they did so anyway. One day, when Oden was running low on money, his retainers decided to help him by stealing from Yasuie. They were caught in the act, but to their surprise Yasuie not only let them go, but gave them even more money in addition to what they stole. As a condition, however, Yasuie told the vassals to use the money to educate themselves into becoming proper samurai to build up Oden's image. The samurai did as he said, and three years later, Oden traveled to the Flower Capital to meet with his father. The retainers accompanied him in a procession, and the civilians were left in awe over their dignified stature. In their meeting, Sukiyaki expressed his pride in Oden.

Later that year, the Whitebeard Pirates shipwrecked in Kuri. Upon noticing them, Oden rushed toward them and clashed with Whitebeard as he expressed his desire to join their crew and see the world. Whitebeard refused, not seeing Oden as someone who would take command from others. Additionally, Oden's retainers disapproved of him illegally leaving the country. Two weeks later, the Whitebeard Pirates departed in the middle of the night to try to avoid Oden. However, the samurai anticipated this and came to the coast, attaching a chain to the Moby Dick and riding along. Izou had followed Oden and tried to stop him, but ended up being pulled out to sea as well. The Whitebeard Pirates initially planned to sever the chain, but Whitebeard made the decision to give Oden a test: if he could hold onto the chain for three days, he could join the crew. Oden accepted this challenge and held on for nearly the whole time, but ultimately let go before the time passed.

On a nearby island, a woman named Amatsuki Toki was confronted by slavers whom she had trusted to take her to Wano. She prepared to move forward in time to escape them, but they were suddenly scared off by the arrival of Oden, whom they mistook for a sea monster. Oden then fainted, and woke up the next day to Toki tending his wounds; as they talked, she revealed her interest in going to Wano. The slaver gang then returned with their captain Karma to attack the duo, but Karma was promptly taken down by Whitebeard. Whitebeard offered Oden the chance to join his crew, as he knew Oden had let go of the chain to save Toki. Oden and Toki came aboard the Moby Dick, where Oden reunited with Izou as well as Inuarashi and Nekomamushi who had stowed away. Oden went on numerous adventures across the world with the Whitebeard Pirates, and he and Toki fell in love, getting married and having two children, Momonosuke and Hiyori, on their voyage. Oden began to gain infamy, leading to the Roger Pirates learning about and taking interest in him.

On Wano, however, trouble was afoot. Before entering Yasuie's service a decade prior, Orochi was met by two of his relatives, Kurozumi Higurashi and Kurozumi Semimaru. Higurashi revealed that in the past, the Kurozumi Family had power as one of the regional daimyo. When it seemed that the Kozuki Family would have no heir, Orochi's grandfather plotted to poison the other daimyo to assure his chances of becoming the next shogun. However, Sukiyaki was then born unexpectedly and Orochi's grandfather's plotting was brought to light, causing the Kurozumi Family to lose their power and become persecuted. Orochi believed that the shogunate was his birthright, and Higurashi offered him the ability to take it for himself. As Yasuie's servant, Orochi stole money from him and also asked to borrow money from Oden for the purpose of building weapons factories to attract powerful allies. He then got a job as a servant under Sukiyaki with the help of Higurashi, who impersonated Oden with the power of the Mane Mane no Mi. Later, Higurashi impersonated the ailing Sukiyaki and declared that Orochi would serve as his temporary successor during Oden's absence, and when Sukiyaki finally died, Orochi came into power.

Around this time, Oden and the Whitebeard Pirates came to an island where they heard a disturbance occurring. This disturbance came from the Roger Pirates defeating a battalion of Marines, and when the crew saw the Whitebeard Pirates arriving, they raced toward battle. Oden took the lead and clashed with Roger himself, but was quickly overpowered before Roger and Whitebeard engaged in a powerful clash. The Whitebeard and Roger Pirates battled for four days before the fighting eventually settled into a gift exchange, and Roger met with Whitebeard and Oden to try to get the latter to join his crew. He revealed that he wished to reach the final island on the Grand Line, but was unable to read the Road Poneglyphs which pointed there and needed someone like Oden who could. Whitebeard refused, but Oden wanted to do this and so was able to convince his captain to let him depart temporarily. Oden and his family boarded the Oro Jackson, leaving Izou with the Whitebeard Pirates; however, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi ended up stowing away with them once again. The Roger Pirates were cold towards Oden at first, but quickly began warming up to him as they went on many adventures together.

The Roger Pirates came to Skypiea during their voyages, and found the Shandorian Golden Belfry Bell along with a Poneglyph which told of Poseidon. Roger had Oden carve a message from the crew in the Poneglyphs' language. Later, the Roger Pirates went to Fish-Man Island; it was there where they learned that Poseidon was a future mermaid princess; the young fortuneteller Shyarly stated that the mermaid princess would be born in 10 years' time. The Roger Pirates also found one of the Road Poneglyphs as well as the Poneglyph with Joy Boy's apology. Upon entering the New World, Oden and the minks revealed that the final two Road Poneglyphs were located on Zou and Wano, so the crew headed to those places. Before they reached Wano, Toki came down with an illness which necessitated that she remain there. Oden offered to stay with her, but she insisted he see this voyage through to the end, and so Oden's return to Wano was a brief one. He did not ask about current events in the country, but noted that things had undoubtedly changed. Following this, the Roger Pirates were prepared to reach the final island, though Shanks and Buggy had to remain behind due to the latter falling ill. Upon reaching the island, the crew learned the truth about the Void Century, the Ancient Weapons, and the name D. They also came across a treasure left behind by Joy Boy, and this resulted in Roger and his crew laughing as they found Joy Boy's story to be quite humorous. It was due to this "tale full of laughs" that Roger decided to name this island Laugh Tale.

News of the Roger Pirates' accomplishment quickly spread throughout the world, and Roger attained the title of "Pirate King" with the treasure he gained being referred to as the One Piece. The crew spent their days fighting off challengers until one day Roger announced that he would be disbanding the crew. The Roger Pirates had a final party before bidding a tearful farewell to their captain, and they then headed to Wano to have another emotional goodbye to Oden; Oden decided to leave Izou with Whitebeard as he was happy there. Oden returned home and happily reunited with his family and retainers; however, he soon learned that Orochi was now shogun and had allied with the pirate Kaidou; under his rule, the citizens were being forced to work in weapons factories. Despite Toki's wishes, the retainers then revealed that Orochi had sent a squadron to assassinate Momonosuke, with their attack leaving a scar on Toki's leg. This revelation enraged Oden, who headed to the Flower Capital to depose Orochi.

Oden came into Orochi's palace and attempted to attack the usurper, but was unable due to Semimaru protecting Orochi with the Bari Bari no Mi. Orochi stated he had no intention of relinquishing the shogunate and revealed that his military network could kill any civilians he saw fit, using this to make an ultimatum forcing Oden to dance naked in the streets for five years. If Oden did this, Orochi would not kill any civilians or prisoners, and he also insinuated that he and Kaidou would leave Wano at the end of those five years. Oden agreed to do this, and spent the next five years dancing naked and humiliating himself. This caused his reputation to degrade sharply among the populace, but his family and retainers remained loyal to him. A year into this punishment, Oden learned via the newspaper that Roger had been executed, and cried tears of joy over his former captain. However, following these five years, Orochi met with Oden and showed that he had no intention of leaving Wano. In addition, Orochi revealed that he had had Kaidou and his forces take Hyogoro prisoner and massacre his family due to the yakuza boss defying his control. These revelations set Oden over the edge, and he and his followers took up arms to take down Kaidou.

Oden and his vassals intended to ambush Kaidou at his new base on Onigashima, but the Beasts Pirates somehow anticipated their move and met them in Udon. The samurai were joined by their comrade Shinobu, a ninja who defected from the Oniwabanshu following Orochi's takeover, and despite only numbering 11 compared to the Beasts Pirates' 1000, they put up an extremely intense fight. Oden went toe-to-toe with Kaidou, and as the pirate prepared to attack in his dragon form, Oden performed an attack which gave Kaidou a giant x-shaped scar on his chest. As Kaidou lay wounded, Oden was suddenly distracted by what appeared to be a captive Momonosuke. This allowed Kaidou to take him down with a kanabo strike, and Momonosuke turned out to be a disguised Higurashi. Oden and his vassals were then imprisoned and sentenced to execution by boiling alive.

Three days later, Oden and his followers were taken to a giant pot of immensely hot boiling oil. However, before they went in, Oden asked Orochi and Kaidou to make a deal for anyone who survived being in the pot for a selected time to go free. Kaidou agreed to this, giving them an hour. Oden then stepped into a pot, but then grabbed a large plank and told his vassals to get on it. Thus, Oden was left standing in boiling oil carrying all nine of his retainers over his head, a feat that left the onlookers in shock. When the viewers expressed shock and derision at Oden remaining alive, Shinobu attacked one of them and revealed to the crowd why Oden had made a fool of himself in front of them for the last five years. The onlookers' opinion of Oden then changed as they spread this revelation to the rest of the country, but Orochi simply responded by silencing and attacking them. As Oden persisted through the boiling, he told his retainers that he would not live past this execution. He thus asked them to fulfill his dream of opening Wano's borders in his stead, saying that Wano needed to welcome a certain figure in the future that the entire world was waiting for. Oden managed to make it through the hour, but quickly found himself surrounded by a firing squad as Orochi revealed he amended the deal to have Oden shot to death instead. In response, Oden restated his dream as he launched his vassals out of the pot, and they ran off to Kuri with Shinobu as Kaidou decided to put Oden out of his misery himself. The pirate apologized to Oden for Higurashi's interference, saying he killed her, and Oden proclaimed his name to the onlookers as Kaidou shot him in the head and his body fell into the boiling oil.

Oden's retainers were assaulted by Kaidou and Orochi's forces, and Inuarashi and Nekomamushi were separated from the main group as well as Ashura Doji and Denjiro. Toki made the preparations that Oden told her about and then comforted her children until Kaidou attacked Kuri Castle personally; he knocked out Toki and took Momonosuke, holding him over a chasm and asking what his name was. Momonosuke stated he would fulfill Oden's legacy, but Kaidou was left unimpressed with him and threw him back into the castle to burn to death. Kin'emon, Kanjuro, Raizo, Kiku, and Kawamatsu then arrived to save Oden's family, and it was that time when Toki sent Kawamatsu and Hiyori into hiding whilst transporting the rest forward in time. Once she did this, she went to the entrance of the castle and spoke her prophecy to the onlooking civilians before falling over and dying.

Meanwhile, Denjiro was left alone and enraged over Oden's death. He entered a shack and remained there for a significant amount of time, emerging with a considerably different appearance. He then walked into the Flower Capital, where some men tried to accost him. He dispatched them with ease, causing them to follow him out of admiration for his strength. Calling himself Kyoshiro, he quickly rose to become a yakuza leader and one of Orochi's most trusted servants. At night, however, he snuck into the homes of the wealthy and took money to give to the poor, becoming the figure known as Ushimitsu Kozo. Additionally, seven years after Oden's death, a young Hiyori was brought before Denjiro, who revealed himself to her and took care of her, raising her to become the oiran Komurasaki. One day while they were together, Denjiro told her to wear blood bags under her kimono so they could stage her death in the event that Orochi threatened her.

Friends and Foes Revealed: The Battle Begins at Sea
A few months before the present day, Orochi had received correspondence from a source confirming that Momonosuke and some of the Scabbards had recently reappeared after 20 years. When Kaidou questioned the legitimacy of the source, Orochi revealed that this agent was a relative of his who performed in a theater troupe, but lost his parents due to persecution against their family. The agent came to Orochi over four decades ago, and Orochi entrusted him the mission to live as a member of the Kozuki Family unto death, giving him a Devil Fruit to assist in this task.

Back in the present, as the Scabbards set out for Onigashima alone, Kin'emon began to broach the suspicion that there was a spy in their ranks. After a brief bout of discussion regarding this, Kanjuro decided to clear up the mystery and reveal that he was the agent. He informed the shocked Scabbards that he was a member of the Kurozumi Family who was set to play this role for the remainder of his life. A trio of Beasts Pirates battleships then arrived to confront the Scabbards' boat, and Kin'emon decapitated Kanjuro, only for his body to disappear as a drawing. The real Kanjuro then appeared on the coast, dispatched Shinobu, and captured Momonosuke. However, as the samurai faced their certain doom, the Beasts Pirates ships suddenly came under attack as the Straw Hat, Heart, and Kid Pirates arrived on their ships.

The Beasts Pirates remained confident, revealing their impediment of the samurai allies as well as the fact that Kaidou and Big Mom had entered into an alliance. However, Luffy, Law, and Kid pulled themselves onto one of the ships and quickly destroyed it with a single round of combined attacks. The Kyoshiro Family's ship then arrived and the Beasts Pirates assumed that they would provide backup; however, Kyoshiro cut one of their ships with a sword slash and offered the services of himself and his men to the Kozuki Family. He then revealed his true identity to Kin'emon by bringing up the Mountain God Incident, and said that under his guise as Orochi's lapdog, he was able to use his authority to free the people imprisoned in Rasetsu Town, and the legions of escapees and samurai then appeared on ships behind him. Denjiro revealed that Yasuie's alteration to the message had actually changed the destination to the wharfs at Habu Port, and their allies had all went there; they made it there before Orochi had blown up the bridges and took all the ships they needed, with the ships Orochi destroyed being those left over. Denjiro assumed that the Scabbards had gone to Tokage Port in order to outwit Kanjuro and Orochi and commended Kin'emon for his genius, although the other Scabbards knew that Kin'emon had legitimately misinterpreted the message.

Kawamatsu went back to the shore to try rescuing Momonosuke, but Kanjuro drew a crane to fly them into the air and unleashed a large-scale attack to shake off the alliance. However, Momonosuke shouted down to the samurai, assuring them that he would find a way to escape and telling them to focus on attacking Kaidou. The remaining Beasts Pirates battleship retreated, but this was only a ploy as it began attacking the alliance's fleet with special long-range cannons. The alliance was put on their heels, but the battleship was then suddenly pierced by a wave of water, sinking it. Jinbe appeared on the wreckage of the ship, introducing himself and saying he had returned to the Straw Hats in time for the battle.

As the Straw Hats embraced their newest crewmate, Kin'emon met with Law, Shishilian, and Hyogoro to discuss the strategy for invading the island. The initial strategy was to sneak around to the back of Kaidou's fortress, and to overcome Kanjuro's information, Law suggested that they have Luffy and Kid's forces attack from the front as a diversion as they would do naturally. Additionally, it was decided that the remaining forces going to the back would also serve as a diversion; the Scabbards would travel on Law's submarine the Polar Tang and be teleported to the back so they could infiltrate the fortress unspotted. As this meeting was occurring, the alliance fleet came to the Torii Gate where some Beasts Pirates soldiers were out celebrating, and the samurai were left aghast when an explosion occurred in front of them. However, they watched as the Straw Hats dispatched the soldiers with ease, and as the alliance landed, they quickly raced to prepare their invasion.
