The tragic yet heroic backstory of Kozuki Oden is still ongoing. In episode 970 of One Piece, Oden rushed to the Flower Capital in rage to eliminate Orochi.
He wreaked havoc everywhere as soon as he reached the castle. As soon as he reached Orochi’s room, he jumped towards him to slash him without giving Orochi a chance to speak.
However, Orochi was protected by the Barrier-Barrier fruit of his advisor, Kurozumi Semimaru.
After having no alternative but to talk to Orochi, Oden walked out of the castle without doing anything. He danced naked in front of the crowd and then went on with his life.
What could have transpired between the two that would quell Oden’s rage and make him act in such an unsightly manner? Stick around for more updates on One Piece.

3. Recap of Episode 970
In this episode, Oden has been made aware of how Orochi conducts his affairs. He is filled with rage after learning that Orochi attacked his family.
He rushes towards the Flower Capital, intending to eliminate Orochi.
Upon reaching the palace, Oden slashes everyone who is in his way. As soon as he enters Orochi’s room, he immediately jumps to eliminate Orochi without giving him anything to say in his defense.
However, Orochi is protected by the Devil Fruit power of the Barrier-Barrier fruit of his advisor, Kurozumi Semimaru. Oden realizes that he is powerless against the Barrier-Barrier fruit.
Orochi uses this moment to his advantage and talks to Oden. But, Oden comes out of the castle, having done nothing.
He then proceeds to dance naked in front of the crowd and then proceeds to go home. Oden dedicatedly does this every day and eventually is resented by his own people.
The episode ends with Oden receiving news about Gol D Roger’s execution and the birth of the Golden Age of Pirates.
This saddens him yet makes him happy because he knew Roger intended for this to happen.
