As the Moby Dick sailed the New World, Oden and Toki studied a crude map of the world. Oden asked where Toki was born, and she did not know, but wanted to go to Wano Country because her parents were from there. As they sailed with the Whitebeard Pirates for four years and learned more about the world, Oden and Toki fell in love and Toki gave birth to Momonosuke and Hiyori. During this time, Whitebeard decided to split his growing crew into divisions, and he appointed Oden as the leader of the second division, which Oden was not enthused by.



The Whitebeard Pirates continued exploring new islands and taking in new people, including an orphan named Teach. So this means Blackbeard probably should have quite the knowledge about Wano. With that in mind, I wonder if we can expect him to join the chaos in Wano later. The more Oden saw during this voyage, the more he wanted to continue adventuring. During the fourth year of Oden’s voyage, the Whitebeard Pirates noticed the sea creatures fleeing in panic from an island, and they docked at the island, and found even the land animals running away. On the other side of the island, the Roger Pirates had brutally beaten a group of Marines when Buggy alerted them that the Whitebeard Pirates had arrived.



The aura of Roger causing the animals to run in fear was amazing. I liked that we finally see a reason for him being called a Demon. He seemed almost sadistic in this chapter. Ruthless like a pirate is usually characterized with. He seems to thirst for battle almost. The differences between approaches for Whitebeard and Roger was interesting as well. Where Whitebeard flees from the Marines despite being more than strong enough to flatten those ships with little to no challenge to avoid further issues, Roger directly challenges the Marines to actually send a deserving force after him. So this chapter just debunked the Scopper Gaban = Denjiro theory, as we saw Gaban on the last page with Roger’s crew, while Denjiro was still at Wano. Roger decided to go and confront them, as it may be the final time he would get to encounter Whitebeard. So next chapter Roger vs Whitebeard? Will Oden immediately join Roger after this fight?
Kozuki Oden was the daimyo of Kuri in Wano Country, the son of former Wano shogun Kozuki Sukiyaki, the husband of Kozuki Toki, and father of Kozuki Momonosuke and Kozuki Hiyori.

Oden is the name of a traditional Japanese winter dish.

Oden is similar to Mont Blanc Noland, as they are both the main protagonists of flashback stories in which they are executed in the end by greedy nobles, who then besmirched their family names through lies and misinformation.
 


Oden bears a resemblance to Heracles, a divine hero in Greek mythology:

    Both possessed tremendous strength since infancy.
    Both had numerous affairs with women.
    Some of Oden’s actions are based on the Twelve Labours of Heracles:
        Oden defeating the Mountain God is based on the fourth labour, the capture of the Erymanthian Boar.
        Oden’s attempt to help the Flower Capital citizens during a great drought by diverting a river to the city is based on the fifth labour, cleaning the Augean stables in a single day. Unlike Heracles, Oden’s action ended in disaster.
    Both were rejected and disowned by one of their family members (Heracles’ nemesis was Hera and Oden was disowned by his father, Kozuki Sukiyaki).
    Both were sailors (Heracles was part of the Argonauts and Oden sailed with the Whitebeard Pirates and Roger Pirates).
    Both had fathers who were rulers of their respective domains (Heracles’s father was Zeus, King and ruler of Olympus; Oden’s father was the head of the Kozuki family and shogun of Wano).

Oden was a division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates and later a member of the Roger Pirates.

Despite his brash personality, Oden has great literary skills, having started writing a log book detailing his journey around Wano Country.


As a descendant of the Kozuki Family, Oden also inherited from his ancestors the knowledge and skill to read Poneglyphs and write its ancient language.

Oden wielded two Meito of the O Wazamono grade: Ame no Habakiri (the sword said to be able to cut “heaven” itself) and its sister sword Enma (the sword said to be able to cut to the “bottom of hell”).

Oden was an exceptionally skilled master of Armament Haki. He also possessed Conqueror’s Haki. During his initial encounter with Edward Newgate 30 years ago, their sudden clash created a notable effect similar to lightning and released a large burst.
Oden was able to permanently scar the near-invulnerable Kaido, something no one else has been able to before and after.
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?
