The Most Tragic And Saddest Death in One Piece

In the last chapter Kozuki Oden explains the meaning of opening Wano Country’s borders. Oden tells the Scabbards to somehow open Wano’s borders so that a certain someone can come and liberate the world. It seems like he is talking about Joy Boy. Oden knows that Orochi will not let him live so he uses his full might and pushes all the Scabbards out of there so that they can escape and open Wano’s borders someday. In the meantime we find out that Kaido didn’t cheat Oden in their fight and was extremely angered by the interference of Kurozumi Higurashi. Kaido in fact reveals that he killed Higurashi prior to Oden’s execution.

And we understand how much Kaido respects Oden. Kaido realized that Oden’s body was done even though he managed such an incredible feat and going out like this was probably one of the most honorable and dignified ways he could have died given the circumstances. He knew Oden couldn’t have given him another fight like they’d had 3 days prior. Kaido even giving Oden a chance to survive the boiling in the first place was an understanding between 2 warriors. Orochi would have never allowed such a thing. Oden died a legendary death, just like Whitebeard, and you can see just how hard this hit the Scabbards in particular. To them, he was more than just a leader, he was like a father figure who protected them to the bitter end, much like Whitebeard. Both Oden and Whitebeard died on their feet protecting their family betrayed by those they welcomed. Furthermore, Toki sending her son and some of his retainers twenty years into the future is revealed to be instructed by Oden. A giant war will start in 20 years and someone will come and defeat Kaido then. So Oden’s prophecy has come true and Luffy is here to defeat Kaido. We thought Luffy will have help defeating Kaido but it seems like Luffy will 1 vs 1 Kaido alone and defeat him.

Eiichiro Oda’s purpose in showing Toki’s wound

This is more of an analysis than theory really, since there isn’t much to base off of. In the most recent chapter we see that Lady Toki was shot through the leg with an arrow which left a very distinct and notable scar. Now, at first glance it was just a way to get Oden enraged so he would charge to the castle, but I think that would’ve happened regardless of Toki’s scar.



Simply knowing his family was attacked and Toki was hurt in the process would’ve sufficed. I think Oda deliberately left this scar on Toki for the purpose of revealing her later on in the story. The upper thigh is a very convenient way for the women of Wano attire to conceal this scar, unlike Nami who wears shorts all the time. Oda wouldn’t randomly give such a scar to a character who is already dead and about to die in the flashback. After all, scars have their importance and backstory in One Piece because many notable characters have distinct scars. Luffy, Zoro, Kaido, Shanks, Whitebeard etc. People have been speculating that the Hiyori we’ve seen so far is actually Toki who jumped 20 years and the real one is being kept hidden. I’m not really sure about that but the reveal of the scar could lead to that being true. This arrow to the leg mark will surely help identify the true identity of Hiyori.

The Prophecy of the Two Kings

It is revealed what Roger and Kozuki Oden heard from the Sea Kings during their trip to Fish-Man Island. It is shown to be a discussion between two sea kings about the birth of the new Poseidon and her meeting with another sovereign who is to be born in a distant sea.

The sea kings knew that the new Poseidon would be born in 10 years and reckoned she would need 15 years to grow. So one king is Shirahoshi but who is the other one? I bet it’s Luffy. Luffy was born in a distant sea (East Blue). This means that Luffy and Shirahoshi were destined to meet. Luffy is the successor of Joy Boy and Shirahoshi is the successor of the original Poseidon. Perhaps Luffy and Shirahoshi are the reincarnations of the souls of original Joy Boy and Poseidon.

So Joy Boy and Poseidon are the names of the first 2 Kings during the Void Century to fight the 20 Kingdoms? Then the names became titles, for Poseidon it’s anyone who possesses the power to command Sea Kings while for Joy Boy it’s anyone who inherits his will. “The whales are delighted in anticipation of the day the two sovereigns shall meet again”. Well, it’s already shown in the previous arc. The whales seems so happy when Luffy finally reached the New World and this happen when Luffy and Shirahoshi already met and became friends.

Lady Toki's Purpose

She came from 800 years ago into the past and traveled in time to a certain island, and right from the start, her main objective was to go to wano. But what is her link to wano? Why wano specifically? Right in her introduction, she wears an outfit that's full of the "Crescent moon" symbols.

Coincidentally, the kozuki clan has also been associated with a similar "Crescent moon" symbol throughout the story, and this might give a subtle hint that she already had a link not just with wano but also the kozuki clan before she even went to wano in the first place possibly 800 years ago as well. And not only is she linked to the void century and wano, but she is also linked to roger, and given that she came with oden to roger's crew later on she's definitely one of the people who knew the true history of the world, like roger, rayleigh and oden.

Perhaps she may have even compared what she had witnessed in the past, to what was also written.

What could lady toki's purpose in the story be, 800 years into the future?
What could be her motive to go to wano 800 years later? Perhaps she was asked to, maybe it was her home? Why 800 years into the future?

Another thing to note is, oden decided to open wano's borders before he returned to wano; he met lady toki before joining roger, and knew the true history during his voyage. Could lady toki somehow have partly influenced oden's decision to open wano's borders?
