A Legendary Samurai! The Man Who Roger Admired!

Kin'emon explains to Luffy's group what happened in the past. He recounts stories such as the one of his Lord and Momonosuke's farther, Kozuki Oden. Despite being the son of Shogun Sukiyaki, Oden's nonconformist lifestyle and violent ways led to his banishment from the Flower Capital. Sometime later he brought order to the once lawless Kuri after defeating the criminal Ashura Doji, and reforming the criminals that lived there, eventually being given the title of daimyo of Kuri at the age of twenty, though he maintained he disorderly behavior. Meanwhile, Dogstorm reminisces on how when he and Cat Viper washed ashore on Wano, Oden saved them from being persecuted for their appearance and took them under his wing. After beating the tiger, Zoro turns his attention to a nearby fishing pier. Kin'emon continues telling how Kaido and Orochi formed an alliance and had Oden executed as a criminal. Kin'emon, Kanjuro, Kiku, Raizo and another samurai were able to escape the same fate, and headed to Oden Castle as they knew Orochi would target Momonosuke next, but were forced to abandon the captured Cat Viper and Dogstom. They'd arrived at the already burning Oden Castle to rescue Momonosuke, as well as his mother Toki and his younger sister Hiyori. Toki, having been rumored to be from the distant past, having decided to die in the time of her husband, used her Time-Time Fruit ability to send Kin'emon, Kanjuro, Kiku, Raizo and Momonosuke into the future, with Kin'emon vowing to avenge Oden and fulfill his lord's dream of opening Wano's borders. After arriving into the future, Kin'emon's group learned of what has happen to their home, and were surprised to find allies still loyal to Oden.
