Oden's Determination! Whitebeard's Test!

Kozuki Oden's dreams to leave Wano leads him directly to Whitebeard after he learns of the pirate's arrival. After a brief battle, Oden begs Whitebeard to let him join his crew. Whitebeard denies his request due to concerns about Oden's character of not the kind of person to follow someone else, saying that this was an issue in his old crew. Once their ship is repaired, the Whitebeard Pirates leave at night to avoid Oden's advances, but he catches up anyway, attaching a chain to the ship and riding with through the ocean with Izo, who tried to prevent his lord from leaving. Marco saves Izo and brings him onto the Moby Dick where he is tied up. Whitebeard tells Oden that if he holds on for three days, he can join the crew. Three days have passed, and Oden only has an hour left before he can join the crew. However, after hearing the screams of Amatsuki Toki, Oden lets go of the chain to save her life. After scaring away Toki's pursuers with his swollen and bruised caused by being dragged around the sea, Oden collapses.
