Denjiro is the mysterious person who freed Law

In chapter 954, we see that Law has somehow escaped from his cell and has incapacitated Hawkins. After questioning him for a short while, Law leaves the prison cell but as he does so, you can see a shadowy figure behind Law. Law says “If letting me walk is part of your plot, then consider me a willing participant.” I’m more and more convinced that Denjiro/Kyoshiro is the one who freed Trafalgar Law.

I know people think it’s X-Drake, but X Drake’s mission in Wano whatever it is for the Marines far exceeds the Straw Hat Alliance. Him helping Law in front of Hawkins seems unlikely and too obvious. He joined Kaido for a very specific reason, long ago. I don’t think he’d jeopardise it for the Straw Hat Alliance. Orochi has some sort of informant that he trusts. Someone on the inside. Maybe he has Intel from Kyoshiro who is getting leaks from Shinobu if she knows his identity? Maybe Hiyori had enough info to fill Kyoshiro in and produce the report to Orochi as part of his plan? Maybe the person that set Law free was not X Drake, but it was Kyoshiro. Law and Kyoshiro came up with the ‘let Orochi think he has won’ plan. Kyoshiro could have told Law certain info without telling him he is a Scabbard.

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.
