“One Piece” Chapter 970 dropped a couple of days ago and showed the fierce battle between Kaido and Oden’s team. The recent chapter unveils interesting revelations that Yonko Kaido admitted to Oden. It also lays the foundation of Oden’s execution and the crucial history that’s about to unfold in “One Piece” Chapter 971.

One Piece” 971: The Traitor

In “One Piece” Chapter 970, Oden was surprised when Kaido seemingly anticipated his planned attack. Instead of attacking the Yonko at his castle, Kaido met him and seemed prepared with the full force of his army. Kaido teased the Daimyo of Wano country that he just built his mansion and would instead not use it as a battleground.

The captain of the Beasts Pirates also told him that maybe he has a spy in Oden’s castle. At this point, fans are speculating Denjiro’s connection with Kaido. Many assumed he is Kaido’s spy, but the recent chapter showed that the samurai was with Oden up to the very end. It is possible that “One Piece” Chapter 971 would reveal the identity of Kaido’s spy.

One Piece” 971: Lady Toki

In “One Piece” Zou Arc, Kozuki Momonusuke, and even Kinemon hinted that they are not from the present time. When Inuarashi and Nekomamushi were talking about their adventures with the Roger Pirates as well as with the Whitebeards pirate. Momonusuke said that he also saw and interacted with the legendary pirate Whitebeard.

But, considering Momonosuke was just a little boy, the Straw Hats dismissed his statement and said that he was maybe a baby when that happened. But, the successor of the throne of the Kozuki clan was already hinting something that happened in Wano in the past. And, this has probably something to do with his mother, Lady Toki.

Oden’s wife had eaten the Toki Toki no Mi, a paramecia kind of Devil Fruit that gives her the ability to send herself and other people in the future. “One Piece” Chapter 971 might show fans how this happened. The recent chapter stated that Oden and his vassals have three more days before they face their execution.

“One Piece” will have a break this week, Chapter 971 will be released on Feb. 16 in Japan and Feb. 17 in all other regions.
