One Piece is living your best moment in the Wano Country Arc. In these pages he is counting Orochi's rise to power, as well as Oden's confrontation against Kaido. As we told you before, Kaido used a trap to fool Oden when he was already cornered. This served to hit and arrest him. At the end of chapter 970 we discover that Oden, as well as all the captured Red Pods are sentenced to death in a large boiling pot. In the next volume everything is ready for execution and Orochi and Kaido observe it from their privileged seats. It is at that moment when a scene appears that makes reference to Japanese folklore in the form of Easter egg.
Oden is aware of the situation and does his best to get out alive. He throws the boiling oil on his executioners, who soon run away to end up dying. Then Oden proposes a deal to Kaido. If it holds in the boiling pot for an hour, it will free them. Oden enters the oil suffering great pain, but hold on. The other samurai try to enter the pot to accompany their leader, but Oden prevents it by taking the table over his head in a scene that refers to the figure of Goemon Ishikawa, a legendary Japanese hero He stole money to give to the poor. He was sentenced to death with his whole family and this was represented by Toyokuni Ichiyōsai in a 19th century image. It shows Goemon in the boiling pot while holding his son to save him But finally, this outlaw hero succumbed to pain.
