Chapter 971, “Sentenced to Boil” Plot
Chapter 971 starts with Oden’s public execution alongside the Nine Red Scabbards by being boiled alive in steaming oil. Before Oden steps into the pot, he makes a deal with Kaido. Kaido agrees to let them go, granted that they survive an hour of being boiled in the oil.
In response to this deal, Oden picks up the Nine Red Scabbards on a wooden plank above his head as he steps into the boiling oil all by himself. This gave birth to the name — The Hour Of Legends.
Shinobu, who was standing in the crowd, loses her temper and reveals the truth behind Oden’s actions for the past five years. When Oden rushed off to attack Orochi, he found out that Orochi stole the title of Shogun to purposefully drive the country into ruin. Orochi’s family had been treated very poorly, similar to Doflamingo’s family, because of the actions of one of his ancestors. Driven by vengeance, Orochi made it his life’s goal to see that every person in Wano gets the same treatment his family did.
Orochi then reveals a group of 100 gagged and blindfolded people who were being sold to Kaido, just for the fun of it. Oden tried to fight back. However, he was stopped by Kaido, who made him realize that there will be a lot of bloodshed if Oden picks up arms now. Therefore, Oden made a deal with the duo — as an apology to the Kurozumi clan, Oden agreed to dance like a fool every day till Kaido prepared his ships to depart from Wano. Every dance Oden performed, saved 100 lives.

About One Piece:
The man who had acquired everything in this world, the Pirate King, is Gol D. Roger. The final words he said at the execution tower were “My treasures? If you want it, I’ll let you have it. Look for it; I left all of it at that place.” These words sent many to the seas, chasing their dreams, headed toward the Grand Line, in search of One Piece. Thus began a new age!
Seeking to be the greatest pirate in the world, young Monkey D. Luffy also heads toward the Grand Line in search of One Piece. With his diverse crew joining him along the way, consisting of a swordsman, marksman, navigator, cook, doctor, archaeologist, and cyborg-shipwright, this will be one memorable adventure.
