Past
After the death of Kozuki Oden, his son, Kozuki Momonosuke, and some of his retainers were sent 20 years to the future, to the current time, and began recruiting allies for their counter attack. After several incidents, Kin'emon befriend the Straw Hat Pirates, who had formed an alliance with the Heart Pirates to take down Kaido. After traveling with the Pirates for some time, Kin'emon learn to appreciate their strength. After the Straw Hat-Heart alliance defeated Caesar Clown and Donquixote Doflamingo, who used their Underworld dealings to strengthen Kaido, the group headed to Zou to reunite with the rest of their parties.

Zou Arc


After the Straw Hat Pirates and their traveling companions reached Zou, it was revealed to them that the minks were allied with the Kozuki Family and that they risked their lives to protect Raizo.

The Straw Hats and Law were taken to see Raizo, and the samurai told the Straw Hats about Oden's death and Kaido's occupation of Wano Country. After being encouraged by Luffy, Momonosuke begged the pirates to help them in the fight against Kaido, which Luffy agreed to, officially forming the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance. Law felt somewhat neglected at first as Luffy did not even ask for his opinion on the addition of two new branches into the alliance.

The alliance made plans as to their next course of action: Luffy planned to go to Whole Cake Island with Nami, Chopper, and Brook to rescue Sanji, guided by Pekoms, with Pedro later joining them, while Zoro, Usopp, Robin, Franky, the Heart Pirates, and the samurai would head to Wano Country. Meanwhile, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi planned to search for Marco in order to increase their alliance's strength.

The elephant carrying Zou, Zunesha, came under attack by Jack and his men, but on Momonosuke's command, it wiped out his entire fleet. With everything settled, the alliance split up and began their missions, with Momonosuke and Inuarashi staying on Zou to communicate with Zunesha and defend against any future Beasts Pirates attacks.

Wano Country Arc
Nekomamushi and the Guardians have traveled to an island, and while the Guardians stayed behind, Nekomamushi entered a secret village behind a waterfall, where he met Marco. Marco was shown caring for the villagers as he believed that the village is Whitebeard's keepsake and he wished to protect it. After they talked, Nekomamushi concluded that Marco would not come with him, and Marco asked Nekomamushi to deliver a message to Luffy.

Meanwhile in Wano Country, as instructed by Kin'emon, the Straw Hats (Zoro, Usopp, Robin, and Franky) disguised themselves in order to hide their inflitration from the Shogun, Kurozumi Orochi, guards, and subsequentially the Beasts Pirates. However, Zoro was caught and falsely accused of a series of murders, forcing him to go on the run after attacking the magistrate.

Kin'emon's group worked on gathering allies and after Luffy's group arrived at Wano Country, Kin'emon met up with them at the ruins of Oden Castle and revealed a plan to attack Onigashima, the island where Kaido resided, in two weeks. However, a drunk Kaido arrived to take down Luffy and Law after finding out they had caused trouble on the island. He attacked the ruins of Oden Castle and then fought Luffy, whom he swiftly defeated and had imprisoned.

During Orochi's private prelude party before the Fire Festival, Robin infiltrated the party under the guise of one of the dancing geisha and discovered the shogun's scheduled for the day as well as his company number and weapons. After the chaos at the palace, the Beasts Pirates discovered Kin'emon's secret message and started arresting every person with the mark of the Kozuki Family, a crescent moon, on their ankle. During their search, Hawkins and Drake encountered Nami, Robin, and Shinobu, though they managed to escape with Sanji's help. Meanwhile, several members of the Heart Pirates were captured. When Kin'emon was informed about the leak, he began to worry about his allies and their plan. Meanwhile, Zoro encountered Kozuki Hiyori and swap information with her regarding the members of the Nine Red Scabbards and her brother. Luffy met Hyogoro in the Udon Prisoner Mines and started training his Busoshoku Haki under his tutelage, preparing for his next battle against Kaido.

After learning about the alliance's plan, Shimotsuki Yasuie volunteered to join the fight. When the alliance's plan began falling apart due to Orochi and the Beasts Pirates discovering Kin'emon's secret message, Yasuie sacrificed himself by taking responsibility. After Yasuie's death, the Straw Hats started a fight at the execution area and blew their cover to the authorities. Meanwhile, Law faced against Hawkins in an attempt to free his crew. Desperate to recruit Ashura Doji, Kin'emon framed him for theft, which resulted in Holdem setting fire to the Mt. Atama Thieves' hideout. Ashura was angry when he found out about this, but after seeing Yasu's actions, the two calmly talked their issues out and Ashura agreed to fight alongside them. At the same time, Chopper led a plan to free Luffy from prison by using an amnesiac Charlotte Linlin, which resulting in Luffy taking over the prison and gaining the support of the inmates, including Kawamatsu, a member of the Nine Red Scabbards, and the yakuza bosses loyal to Hyogoro.



After escaping the Flower Capital, Sanji and Shinobu tried to devise a plan to free their captured allies, while the freed Heart Pirates informed Nami about Yasuie's alteration to the alliance's secret message to their allies, before the Straw Hats returned to Kuri to meet up with Kin'emon. With their new allies, the alliance increased their numbers drastically, and after Kawamatsu returned to Ringo and reunited with Hiyori, they acquired a vast amount of weapons for the upcoming battle. Several key members of the alliance gathered in Amigasa Village to begin a strategy meeting.

Two days before the Fire Festival, Kin'emon rallied the alliance teams for the final push before the battle. However, a day later during the night, Orochi sent his men to destroy several bridges across Wano, preventing the major forces from arriving to the meeting port. Desperate, the Scabbards head out on a small boat, preparing to continue the fight by themselves. On the boat, they faced the unavoidable conclusion that there was a spy among them, who is revealed to be Kanjuro. Kin'emon angrily beheaded him, only to learn that it was a copy and the real Kanjuro remained on the coast and that he had captured Momonosuke. As this was happening, the Scabbards' boat was confronted by three Beasts Pirates ships. The Scabbards were saved by the arrival of the Straw Hats, Heart Pirates, and Kid Pirates.

Kyoshiro arrived soon after and he revealed his identity as Denjiro and rejoined the Scabbards. He also revealed that he freed the prisoners in the Flower Capital and the rebels were gathered at Port Habu. All the allies then arrived at Port Tokage on a massive fleet. With a total of 5,400 men, the raid on Onigashima finally began. Shocked by their arrival, Kanjuro took Momonosuke and prepared to head to Onigashima to report to Orochi, and faced off against Kawamatsu who tried to free his lord. Kanjuro then conjured a crane with his Devil Fruit ability, and attacked the alliance with a cloud that rained arrows. Momonosuke ordered the alliance to proceed to Onigashima as Kanjuro fled to Onigashima with him. Meanwhile, the Beasts Pirates' ship distanced themselves and attacked the alliance with long range cannons, destroying several of the alliances' ships. The alliance was saved with the sinking of the ship by the hand of the newly arrived Jinbe, who introduced himself as a member of the Straw Hat Pirates. Jinbe then boarded the Sunny, and as the crew prepared to celebrate his return, the Scabbards were joined by Shishilian and Hyogoro as leaders of the alliance's forces to form a plan of attack.

Law then suggested that they would split into four groups: One that would attack Onigashima from the front, two from each of its sides, and one aboard the Polar Tang to submerge and attack Kaido's castle at the back of the island head on. Law stated the the Straw Hats and Kid Pirates would not listen to the plan and strike from the front, making up the first group. Kin'emon and Denjiro volunteered to be leading the groups that would attack from each side, with the rest of the Scabbards on board the submarine. The alliance then noticed that the Straw Hats were already fighting the guards at the port in front of Onigashima, defeating them easily and looting them for the celebration of Jinbe's arrival, but Luffy stopped the party, wanting to celebrate with the entire alliance once Kaido was defeated. The Kid Pirates then sailed past them aiming for Kaido's head, and Luffy ordered Jinbe to catch up to them.

Law's team submerged in the Polar Tang and the rest of the alliance reached the entrance to Onigashima. Usopp knocked out the guards and Kin'emon disguised everyone as members of the Beasts Pirates, allowing them to slip in undetected. With Kin'emon and Denjiro leading their squads, the Straw Hats took out their vehicles, and learned that Luffy and Zoro headed out first chasing the Kid Pirates, making them worry about the two causing problems for the plan. Meanwhile, Luffy came across several members of the Beasts Pirates wasting food, and remembering Tama's starvation, became enraged. Luffy attacked the pirates, and Zoro soon joined him after hearing his reason, making the two's presence known to Apoo, who informed Queen. Queen then offered his men a chance to become one of the Tobiroppo for capturing the intruders. Luffy and Zoro were then attacked by Apoo, who was later attacked by Kid for betraying their alliance.

With the riot growing, Hatcha of the Numbers joined the fight, and Killer informed his allies how to evade Apoo's attacks. Meanwhile, Kin'emon's group reached a brothel and decided to split to corner the Beasts Pirates, and Nami took Carrot and Shinobu to search of Momonosuke. As Kin'emon led half his men towards the back of Onigashima, they were about to be spotted, and Kin'emon ordered them to hide, but Chopper in the Brachio Tank V was not fast enough and was seen by Big Mom. At the same time, Nekomamushi's ship climbed the waterfall and witnessed the Queen Mama Chanter falling after being attacked by Marco.

Trivia

 * Luffy was the one who came up with the alliance's name, causing Usopp to state it was too long and Nami to question if the "Ninja" part was needed as the ninja, Raizo, was affiliated with the samurai. However, the consensus was that it was needed, mainly due to Luffy's enthusiasm for ninjas.
 * In Chapter 973, a waning crescent moon was shown, indicating that Oden's death, and subsequently the Fire Festival, occurred at the end of the month. This matches Hawkins' prediction in Chapter 913 regarding Luffy's future.
