"The End of the Battle! Oden vs. Kaido!" is episode 972 of One Piece.
Oden and the Akazaya Nine engage in a fierce confrontation against Kaido and his forces, facing dire challenges that lead to significant consequences as tensions in Wano escalate.
Shinobu helps Oden and the Akazaya Nine in their battle as King and Queen join the fray to confront Oden's retainers. Oden confronts Kaido and is pushed back until he manages to injure him, leaving a scar. Kaido turns back into his human form and prepares to enter a final clash with Oden. However, Higurashi disguises herself as Momonosuke while a Beast Pirate held her at knifepoint distracting Oden just enough for Kaido to critically wound and defeat the off guarded samurai. Ashura and Kin'emon try to rescue Oden but are defeated as well by King and Queen. Oden and the Akazaya Nine were all jailed in the Flower Capital, with only Shinobu being spared, thanks to Oden denying allegiance to her so that she would not be arrested with the others. Three days later, Oden and the Akazaya Nine were sentenced to public execution by boiling. Just before Oden entered the pot, he suggested a wager to Orochi and Kaido: if he and his retainers could survive a set amount of time in the pot, they would be set free.
