Chapter 243: Discovered


    Manba runs back to the destroyed building to find Oden''s group. But then he stops when he sees the enraged Oden and the shocked Red Scabbards who surrounded Kanjuro. Manba sees the center of destruction is below Oden and Oden''s right fist is rather bruised.


    ''So he was the one who destroyed the building. I guess he punched the floor with a very strong force and it causes a very strong impact that destroyed the whole building. It doesn''t seem like their minds are upied so I can''t talk to them now. I will prioritize saving the ones who get buried in the rubble for now,'' thinks Manba.


    Manba immediately uses his O-Haki to find the victims. Then he moves fast to save them while pointing their locations to some people who have juste after hearing the explosion. They want to ask what happened, but Manba shut them off by telling them to save the victims first.


    While Manba & the people save the victims, Oden & the Red Scabbards are still looking at Kanjuro with disbelief and anger. What they saw when they stripped Kanjuro''s clothes was Kurozumi''s n mark on his back.


    "What''s the meaning of this, Kanjuro? Exin yourself!" says Oden with a calm angry voice.


    Kanjuro stays silent because he is very ill now, but then Oden says, "Don''t be quiet! Manba-chan has injected medicine into you so that you''ll gain some strength. Also, I know you are awake now."


    He is silent for a moment, but then Kanjuro starts tough, "Kekeke, so I''ve been found out. Well, there''s no use to hide it again because nothing will change. Orochi-sama has abandoned me and I know my life won''tst long."


    Kanjuro doesn''t have any intention to resist nor hide his identity from them. He thinks that Orochi has abandoned him after everything that happened without knowing that it is all being manipted by the Clowns.


    Oden grabs Kanjuro''s cor and then pulls him closer before asking him to exin everything. Without ant resistance, Kanjuro exins everything from his identity to Orochi''s group''s deeds. He even tells Oden everything that Oden & his men haven''t known yet.


    Anger boils inside Oden''s & Red Scabbards'' hearts. They''ve been with Kanjuro for years and trust him so much. No one ever thought that he is Orochi''s spy and a Kurozumi at that. He is someone from the same n as Orochi.


    As Kanjuro keeps talking, Oden''s anger also keeps adding up. It gets to the point where his anger bes uncontroble. He unsheaths one of his swords, Enma, and wants to execute Kanjuro right now.


    Oden swings his sword toward Kanjuro''s neck, but then a hand grabs his wrist, stopping him. He doesn''t look back at all and keeps staring at Kanjuro with angry eyes. He also keeps trying to move his hand, but it doesn''t budge.


    "I know you want to kill him, but keeping him alive for now is more useful," says Buggy, the one who holds Oden''s wrist.


    Oden still doesn''t listen so Buggy sighs and detached his other hand. The detached hand move downward and then shot up to punch Oden''s jaw. It is very strong that Oden flings up quite high before he falls and crashes.


    "The eight of you, what are you staying still for? Hurry up and capture him! He is a valuable source of information," says Buggy to the Red Scabbards.


    The Red Scabbardse to their sense and capture Kanjuro immediately. They want to beat him up too, but they know Buggy is right. So they just capture him and secure him, preventing him from running away.


    Buggy leaves them and goes to where Oden fell after he punched him. Oden seems to havee to his sense even though he is still very angry. He just sits there while looking at Kanjuro with very angry eyes.


    "Thanks, Buggyjiro, I was losing control of myself," says Oden.


    "Don''t worry, I know that you are very angry, after all. Sorry for eavesdropping just now," says Buggy.


    "No, it''s okay. You will know it sooner orter, so it doesn''t matter," says Oden.


    "Master Oden, we''ve secure Kanjuro," reports Denjiro.


    "Good, put him in the dungeon for now. Send people to tell Lord Yasuie and old man Hyogoro about this. Tell my family too," says Oden.


    "Understood," says Denjiro before he leaves.


    Manba thenes and calls Buggy, "Captain! I''m d that you''re here. Can you call my team? I''ve saved the ones who get buried in the rubble, but we are short on personnel and tools to treat them. So I need my team toe and bring our tools."


    Buggy nods and takes his denden mushi to call Palu on the ship. He also asks Palu toe and help to rebuild the destroyed building. As for the ship, Buggy calls Enel to guard it, recing Palu who has other work.


    "Oden, leave this ce to me. You have another thing to do, right?" asks Buggy.


    "Alright, thanks Buggyjiro," says Oden before he leaves.


    Buggy then starts to take care of the situation and gives orders to his crew & samurais there. He can manage the situation and put everything in order fast. Then after Manba''s & Palu''s teamse, everything bes more arranged.


    Oden goes to meet Yasuie, Hyogoro, his family, and some higher-ups. He needs to tell them about Kanjuro and discuss their next step. This is a very serious matter, after all, so they need to take care of it carefully.


    Meanwhile, the one who causes all of this to happen is grinning in his heart. Buggy doesn''t show it on his face, but he is very happy right now because his n has seeded. He & his crew have worked hard to make this happen and they''ve done it now.


    With Kanjuro''s problem solved, their chance of winning this war has risen exponentially. The enemy''s biggest source of information about their group has gone. Now they have more freedom to do everything.


    Also, Buggy finally can get rid of that super annoying bastard. He still remembers how pissed he was in his past life when Kanjuro''s real identity got revealed. There''s nothing he wanted than ripping Kanjuro''s face at that time.


    Something that Buggy hates the most is traitor. He has a very bitter experience with a traitor in his past life, after all. Well, the correct word is cheater not traitor, but it''s still correct in a sense because it was about his ex-girlfriend who cheat on him with his ex-best friend.


    He was actually quite afraid of getting in a love rtionship with someone. That''s why even though he knew Bellemere is a good person in the series, he still took his time to know her while he did his bounty hunter job.


    Only after he was sure that she really is a good person that he asked her to date him. He doesn''t want to experience the same traumatic thing as in his past life. It''s better to be overly cautious rather than regretting everything.


    That cautiousness also affects other things in Buggy''s life. His cautiousness is the reason why he always collects information before doing things. It''s the reason for most of his sess so far. After all, information is very important.


    But just because he is super cautious, it doesn''t mean he can''t trust people. He trusts his crewmates and some other people that he knows. Of course, it includes Bellemere, there''s no way he doesn''t trust his girlfriend.


    ''My cautious mind has saved me many times. It''s because I''m cautious that I always strive to get stronger too. If I''m not strong enough, I will be dead in this world of the strong,'' thinks Buggy.


    While Buggy thinks about all of that, suddenly Raizoes and calls him. The ninja tells him that his presence is required by Oden. He just nods and leaves the ruins because everything is in order already.


    As he walks, Buggy mumbles, "Now, the real n can proceed."
