Despite Japan's isolationist stance, Whitebeard ravaged the country from within. Culminating in an attack on Otsu, the overconfident Whitebeard marched into the town with only a handful of men. He was met by Takezo Kensei, who singlehandedly defeated the entire company. The battle was to become known as The Battle of Twelve Swords.
