Wano Country Arc
After seeing the geisha O-Robi suspiciously sneaking around Orochi Castle during Orochi's banquet, Fujin, Raijin, and the rest of the Orochi Oniwabanshu snuck up and cornered her. The ninjas questioned who she was and then moved to capture her, but unbeknownst to them, it was her body double, and so when they caught her, she vanished into thin air. Seeing this, they broke off into the banquet hall to find the real body of the geisha. While searching, Fujin and Raijin encountered Brook's spirit form, and ran screaming for their lives, while mistaking him for the Gashadokuro. As they ran, they encountered their comrades and shouted that a ghost was chasing them, which led to their comrades running away in fear as well.

As the Straw Hats were causing chaos at Rasetsu Town after Yasuie's execution, Daikoku ordered Fujin and Raijin to pursue a woman that was seen with Zoro. As they were about to capture her, Zoro came and attacked them.

After Zoro and Hiyori fled to the forest outside the capital, Fujin and Raijin led a group of ninjas in pursuit of the duo and the entire group was eventually defeated by Zoro.
