History

Once a retainer to Sukiyaki, Jibuemon watched Oden Castle burn after Kaidou's invasion and heard Kouzuki Toki's prophecy foretelling Orochi's fall and the opening of Wano. Trusting her words, he combed the ruins for survivors of the Nine Red Scabbards, found none, and waited patiently. Twenty years on he ranked among the first to recognize the returned Momonosuke, pledging his service and revealing that allies marked with moon tattoos still remained. He helped move the rebels quietly to Tokage Port, then joined the raid on Onigashima under Beasts Pirates disguises, marching with Kin'emon's eastern group.
