monition : contain spoilers forOne Piecechapter # 1046
Pirates and ninjas do not have much in common , usually , but in the world ofOne Piece , one grand shinobi just saved every major theatrical role in the series , using a technique straight out ofNaruto .
The island of Wano is the setting ofOne Piece ’s current ( and long ) arc . It is strongly breathe in by feudalistic Japan , with a ruling class of samurai who serve under a shogun , the usurper Kurozumi Orochi . In such a setting , ninjas could not be leave out , and Luffy and his gang met one as early as chapter # 817 , long before they even reached Wano . Raizo of the Mist is a ninja and a retainer of the Kozuki kindred , one of the Nine Red Scabbards that served the fabled samurai Kozuki Oden 20 geezerhood before the current effect in the serial publication . Together with three of his fellow Red Scabbards and withOden ’s son , Momonosuke , Raizo was sent 20 years in the hereafter by the powerfulness of Toki , Oden ’s wife , to protect her boy and prepare the rebellion against Orochi .

Raizo got separated from his companions after leaving Wano to notice allies . He was able to reach Zou , the dry land of the Mink tribe , longtime allies of the Kozuki , and that ’s where Luffy and the other Straw Hats foregather him . The always - enthusiast sea robber demand Raizo to demonstrate his ninjutsu technique , which he reluctantly did . All of his proficiency seem pep up byNaruto ’s jutsu , admit the phantasm clone jutsu and summon jutsu . In fact , it appears that Raizo is an homage to depiction of ninjas in various media , includingNaruto , and that would make utter sense consider that the creative person behind these two best - selling manga , Masashi Kishimoto and Eiichiro Oda , are in reality good friends , andNarutoeven paid court toOne Piecein its last dialog box . Coincidentally , both the Japanese and English voice doer for Raizo in the anime also voicedNarutocharacters .
In chapter # 1046 ofOne Piece(titled Raizo of the Mist ) , the struggle between the Ninja - Pirate - Mink - Samurai alliance and the forces of Kaido was about to reach an unexpected determination . With the flaming created by Kanjuro ’s dying proficiency spreading through all of Onigashima Castle , everyone involved in the battle was about to burn up animated or suffocate . EvenLuffy and Kaido , fighting for supremacy on the roof , acknowledged the danger , but that ’s when Raizo stepped in . Raizo consume theMaki Maki no Mi , a Paramecia type Devil Fruit that allows him to create and manipulate scrolls , which he can utilise to seal and storage object inside and afterwards expel them . When on Zou , he used his power to hive away an impressive amount of sea piddle and released it inside Onigashima Castle . Thanks to Jinbe ’s ability to manipulate water , that massive current spread throughout the vestibule and corridor , economise everyone from a gruesome death .
Many ninjas in Naruto use scrolls to summon objects with a proficiency called fūinjutsu , most notably Tenten , a kunoichi and member of Team Guy . Raizo ’s larger-than-life intercession , however , has an even bully significance . Twenty geezerhood ago , he was ineffective to save his master Oden and learn helplessly as Kaido set the Kozuki castle ablaze . Raizo swear that he would never be as helpless again , and he just persist honest to his promise , save all of his friend , includingevery member of the Straw Hat crew . It was a beautiful moment that showed how much Oda cares about even his lowly characters , and a further homage toNaruto , one of the few mangas in history that can get close toOne Piecein terminus of success and popularity .
