Episode 975

"The Castle on Fire! The Fate of the Kouzuki Clan!" is the 975th episode of the One Piece anime.
==Short Summary==
The Nine Red Scabbards make it to the castle and are transported twenty years into the future. Toki stays behind but is killed delivering a prophecy.
==Long Summary==
News of Oden's death spread to Toki, who reflected on her final moments with Oden. Before he left to confront Kaidou, Oden entrusted Toki with a scroll to be opened if he died in the battle. The scroll prophecized that in twenty years, someone would arrive to save Wano Country.
Pursued by Beasts Pirates, the Nine Red Scabbards ran through the forest to escape back to Oden's castle. Ashura and Denjiro were forced to stay behind to battle the Beasts Pirates. 
Kaidou's men fired flaming arrows at Oden's castle, setting it ablaze with Toki, Momonosuke and Hiyori still inside. Momonosuke reflected on his time with Oden. As the Roger Pirates floated down from Skypiea, they got a view of the ocean from above. Hiyori also remembered when Oden listened to her playing the shamisen. Hiyori learned the song Moon Princess. Oden joked that the song should be played at his funeral, frightening Hiyori.
Kaidou entered the castle looking to kill Momonosuke. He confronted Momonosuke, but since he was too cowardly to cooperate, he lost interest, leaving him to die in the mansion. He transforms into his dragon form and leaves.
Most of the Nine Red Scabbards made it to the castle, except for Ashura and Denjiro. Toki transported the Nine Red Scabbards along with Momonosuke twenty years into the future. She entrusted Hiyori to be raised by Kawamatsu while she rode away to Bakura Town. At the city gate, she announced the prophecy given to her by Oden to the crowd just before she was shot down by an enemy sniper.
