After Kin'emon stole the white boar from these three men, they took Tsuru hostage. However, on the way down the mountain, they were attacked by the Mountain God. Tsuru and two of the men were swallowed by the beast. After Oden struck down the beast at the Flower Capital, Tsuru reunited with Kin'emon and embraced him.

Tsuru eventually married Kin'emon. When Kin'emon was sent to the future via Kouzuki Toki's powers, Tsuru was left without her husband for 20 years. She remained faithful to him, as she never remarried despite the potential danger she would be in from Kurozumi Orochi's corrupt rule.
===Wano Country Saga===
====Wano Country Arc====
At a wasteland in the Kuri region, Tsuru was being chased by Kaidou's thugs until Roronoa Zoro came to her rescue. She wanted to repay him, but Zoro was only interested in booze.
She then hid in Komachiyo's tail as Zoro and Monkey D. Luffy were confronted by Basil Hawkins and his men. When the komainu dragged the two Straw Hats away from the battle, she introduced herself to them. Upon seeing Kurozumi Tama in critical condition, she asked them to bring Tama to her tea shop where she could make medicine for her. They later arrived at Okobore Town.
After healing Tama, Tsuru gave her some delicious foods to eat. Tsuru then told Luffy and Zoro the story about Okobore Town before Zoro saved her from an arrow fired by the gifter Batman. During the confusion, Tama was abducted by Gazelleman. As Zoro and Luffy joined Kiku and Komachiyo in the pursuit, Tsuru was amazed by Luffy's ability to stretch.
Sometime after Luffy, Zoro, and Kiku left, a villager visited Tsuru and asked her for some herbs for his ill child. Tsuru was later overjoyed when Luffy's group returned with a cart of food.
When Kaidou arrived at Kuri, a villager told Tsuru to flee. After Kaidou left, Tsuru tended to an injured man.
Sometime later when Chopper, Momonosuke, Kiku, and Tama brought an amnesiac Big Mom to Okobore Town, Tsuru gave her some food.
Prior to the Fire Festival, Holed'em confronted the Okobore Town citizens concerning the Paradise Farm thefts. Assuming that Kin'emon must be alive after meeting Kikunojo, Tsuru attempted to mislead Holed'em, but the Okobore Town citizens took the blame for the thefts. Okobore Town was then burned to the ground.
Tsuru survived the incident and reunited with her husband after the raid on Onigashima, and together they celebrated the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance's victory. Later, Tsuru spoke with Chocho about moving back to the Flower Capital to be with Kin'emon, with Chocho encouraging her to do so.
