Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Having obtained the "3" transformation device, Sanji gained the ability to become invisible, and so he went to fulfill his childhood dream.

But just as Nami and the others finished their bath and were about to leave, Drake and Basil Hawkins came to conduct a surprise inspection.

"Everyone, come out and show your ankles! Take away anyone with a crescent moon mark!" Basil Hawkins shouted, blocking the entrance to the bathhouse.

“I’ll leave this chores to you. I’m not going in! My mission is to capture Noodle Mask!” Drake said, standing outside the bathhouse, feigning calmness.

“Whatever!” Basil Hawkins glanced at Drake and said.

Soon, Basil Hawkins noticed Nami and the others hiding in the corner. But just as he was about to check on them, Nami suddenly pretended that her towel had fallen, and the naked Nami gave everyone present a happy surprise. Even Sanji, who was invisibility, was forced to reveal his true form.

"Sanji? What are you doing here? You've lost so much blood, are you alright? And what's with your outfit?" Nami was naturally surprised by Sanji's sudden appearance.

"N-nothing... Miss Nami... like a surging river..." Sanji lay on the ground, still muttering to himself.

"It's Noodle Mask! Noodle Mask has appeared!" Sanji's appearance immediately alerted the Beasts Pirates' Garujin.

"What? Noodle Mask is in there?" Upon hearing this, Drake immediately headed towards the bathhouse, but he collapsed as soon as he reached the door. It wasn't that someone ambushed him, but rather that he simply couldn't stand the sight of women without clothes, especially Nami's dominant figure.

"Run! Now!" Seeing an opportunity, Shinobu and Nami prepared to escape, but Basil Hawkins and Drake were still at the door, so they couldn't escape directly.

"Hehe... Looks like I've made it just in time!" Not far away, although she had been under surveillance the whole time, Robin was now able to act without hesitation.

With Robin's help, and Sanji finally realizing what was happening, they managed to escape with them all.

"Something's not right!" Nami said in a low voice from the air, "Those people know about the Crescent Moon! That means what Mr. Reina said was true, and there's a traitor among us!"

“That’s right, this kind of thing happening at this critical juncture is really difficult to handle!” Sanji nodded and said, “Moreover, all of Trayan’s companions were captured, seemingly to lure him out, but that means… we can’t be completely certain who the traitor is!”

"That's probably why they did this on purpose!" Nami said softly.

She trusted Reina and believed that Kanjuro was the traitor, but since there was no evidence, she couldn't say anything recklessly, otherwise she would be undermining internal unity.

Shinobu and Robin, who were standing nearby, remained silent, as they didn't want to say much because of Kanjuro and Reina.

"By the way, Robin, what are you doing here? Weren't you captured by the Beasts Pirates?" Nami looked at Robin beside her and asked curiously.

"No! I was always by my father's side before, but after Luffy was defeated by Kaido, my father stepped in to protect Luffy, so my father and I are now in the public eye! It seems that my father and Kaido were once crewmates, so they have some connection. He was invited by Kaido to a banquet on Onigashima, while I was being watched by Kaido's subordinates! When I saw you just now, I suddenly made my move, and now I guess I've taken the opportunity to escape their surveillance!"

Robin briefly explained the situation.

"I see, no wonder those people seemed quite polite to you! But Luffy was still captured by the Beasts Pirates in the end!" Nami said with a hint of helplessness.

"Hmm?" Robin frowned, because he felt that Kaido was not the kind of person who would resort to such petty tricks.

"Don't worry, with Luffy's abilities, he should already be causing a huge scene in the prison by now!" Sanji said with a light laugh.

When everyone thought about Luffy's personality, they couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"So what are we going to do now?" Robin asked curiously.

“Let’s head to Ebisu Town and meet up with Usopp and the others! I heard Zoro is there too!” Nami said with a smile.

The mere mention of Zoro made Sanji immediately unhappy, and he said with a fawning expression, "Nami, Robin... don't worry, with me here, there's no need for that moss-head!"

"Anyway... let's go to Ebisu Town and meet up with everyone!" Nami completely ignored Sanji and said directly.

As for Sanji... he didn't dare to argue with Nami at all. Nami hadn't even settled the score with him for what happened in the women's bathhouse earlier!

"Hoo hoo~~ Aren't you going to keep running? I saw you just now and chased after you right away, but I didn't expect it to take so long!" Zoro cornered the thief who stole his weapon on a bridge.

"Enough with the nonsense!" A tall man wielding a large sword said to Zoro, "I have returned the famous sword Shusui to where it rightfully belongs! It was a treasure stolen from the tomb of Ryuma, the legendary samurai of Wano Country!"

"I know!" Zoro chuckled and replied calmly.

He received the sword, Shusui, directly from Ryoma himself, so he naturally knew whose sword it was.

"Since you know that, then you'd better go back obediently, or I'll confiscate the other two weapons from your waist as well!" the big man said deliberately, trying to intimidate him.

"Oh? You're some kind of weapons collector?" Zoro perked up immediately upon hearing this, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, we're really short on weapons right now! Since you're a collector... we're truly destined to meet! I'll take your entire weapons collection!"

"Damn it! Since you know it's Lord Ryoma's sword, then you really are the sword thief!" the burly man roared angrily.

"I didn't steal it, Ryuma gave me Autumn Water!" Zoro replied earnestly.

Chapter 552 Distrust

Just as Zoro was fighting the mountain bandit giant Ushimaru, a woman carrying a child suddenly ran towards them, pleading for help as she fled.

"Hey you two samurai over there, please save us!" The woman carrying the child cried out for help as she ran toward Zoro and Ushimaru.

Zoro, who had just started fighting, instinctively looked over.

"Hahaha... It's two warriors! Thank goodness! Please save us! Hahaha..." The little girl, held in the woman's arms, cried out for help while laughing loudly.

"Hey... are you guys joking around or is it urgent? Get yourselves in line!" Zoro said, somewhat speechless, looking at the woman and child.

They were really strange; one looked anxious and worried, while the other had a big smile on his face and kept laughing.

"There's an opening!" Just as Zoro was distracted by the woman and child, Ushimaru noticed Zoro's distraction and attacked directly.

"Ugh! You bastard! You took advantage of my distraction, so you used every ounce of strength you had?" Zoro, who had blocked Ushimaru's attack, cursed angrily at the other's actions.

“In the heat of battle, the opponent’s weakness is the key to victory. I’m just waiting for you to show your weakness!” Ushimaru said dismissively.

At that moment, a man with his face wrapped in bandages, wielding two sickles, rushed toward the woman and child from before.

"Huh? This isn't a joke, it's real!" Zoro noticed that the woman's arm seemed to be injured and was bleeding, so he judged that she wasn't acting, but was really being chased.

So Zoro abandoned his fight with Ushimaru and went to protect the injured woman and child.

"There's an opening!" But just as Zoro blocked the scythe, Ushimaru attacked Zoro again.

"Hey! You bastard, look at the occasion!" Zoro was genuinely angry at Ushimaru's stubbornness.

"This is your duel with me..."

"I'll fight you, but you'd better wait a minute!"

Before Ushimaru could finish speaking, Zoro interrupted him, because he sensed that this guy with the scythe was no small fry.

"Fat fat fat fat... You must be the executioner Zoro Juro, right? Why did you save those two women? And woman, why did you save that child?" The strange man, whose face was covered in bandages and who was holding two huge scythes, asked with a loud laugh.

“Another strange fellow has arrived…” Zoro said, frowning as he stood in front of the woman and child.

He felt he must have forgotten to check the almanac before going out today, otherwise why would he keep running into strange people?

"My only target is that child who keeps laughing! I just want her life!" the strange man with the scythe said, pointing his weapon at the laughing child in the woman's arms.

"The Demon Slayer's Scythe! You've been indiscriminately killing people in the capital... So you're Orochi's lackey! There's no one else who wants Toko's life!" The woman said with disdain, "You're just an assassin!"

"How dare you address the General by his name? Then who are you? Fafafa..." The Demon Slayer looked at the woman and asked with a smile.

"Sir, please save us! We will definitely repay you afterwards!" The woman ignored Kamazo and shouted to Zoro instead.

"Don't worry, I don't have the habit of watching women and children get killed. As for a thank-you gift, some wine and food will do!" Zoro replied with a slight smile.

"It's alright! The higher-ups said that anyone who dares to obstruct us will be killed!" The Demon Slayer Kamazo seemed unconcerned about Zoro's interference.

"Although it would be troublesome to cut down organized guys, there's no use thinking about it. Let's just kill them first!" Zoro had barely finished speaking when he charged forward.

Although Zoro only has two swords now, he can still unleash considerable strength, but he probably won't be able to defeat his opponent in the short term.

However, while he was fighting Kamazo, Ushimaru, who was watching the battle, suddenly attacked Zoro, which made Zoro so angry that he almost jumped up and killed him.

But before Zoro could say anything, Kamazo saw this and pierced Zoro's shoulder with a single strike. The women nearby were horrified, because if Zoro lost, their lives would probably be in danger.

But at that moment, Kamazou's expression suddenly changed, because he realized that he couldn't pull out the sickle that had pierced his opponent.

"Hehe... It's not very easy to use, but... that'll be enough for three swords!" Zoro pulled the scythe out of his shoulder, put it in his mouth, and then looked at Kamazo, shouting, "Three-Sword Style: Demon Slash: Purgatory!"

He defeated Kamazo with a single blow, and the strength he displayed startled everyone watching, especially the burly man Ushimaru.

"It's...it's incredibly powerful!" The woman holding the door exclaimed in disbelief.

"This is terrible! To suffer such a serious injury before the final battle!" Zoro looked at his shoulder, which had been completely pierced through. This would definitely affect his strength.

"Master Samurai..." The woman exclaimed as she saw Zoro fall to the ground. Ignoring Ushimaru who had already turned and fled, she and Toko carried Zoro on their backs and walked in one direction.

Meanwhile, Kin'emon and the others in Kuri had also received news that the information had been leaked.

"The crescent moon and the cipher map have been exposed? Kin'emon... what do you plan to do now?" Inuarashi and Nekomamushi looked at the pensive Kin'emon and asked.

“This can only prove one thing: apart from the person who informed on this, there is indeed a traitor among us!” Kin'emon said in a deep voice, sitting on a large rock.

"Don't you trust Mr. Reina? Kin'emon!" Jinbe asked, looking at Kin'emon.

He sensed something else in Kin'emon's words.

“It’s not that I don’t believe him. To be honest, he’s Robin’s father and Luffy’s elder. I have no reason to doubt him! But Kanjuro is a partner who has risked his life with us. Do you expect me to doubt my partner?” Kin’emon replied with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

"But isn't the truth already laid bare before us?" Jinbe said calmly.

“Yes, there is indeed a problem now, but that’s precisely why I’m even less suspicious of Kanjuro! Before we entered Wano Country, everyone had already clearly suspected him. If it were you, would you report something that would expose you so easily? Isn’t this clearly telling us that Kanjuro is the traitor?” Kin’emon said with a serious expression.

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi nodded and said to Jinbe, "Although I trust Mr. Reina, Kin'emon is right this time. If I were a spy, I wouldn't do something like this at this time. After all, it would be like exposing myself in advance!"

Jinbe remained silent, which was also what he couldn't understand. Why would the other party choose to do such a thing at this time?

On the other side, Nami and others were also troubled by this problem.

"Stop arguing, all of you! This won't solve anything!" Nami said helplessly.

“That’s right, we can’t doubt our comrades…” Sanji, whose head was already covered in bumps, nodded and said seriously, “Actually, I didn’t see anything before!”

"I'm not curious about who leaked the secret. I'm just curious about these bumps on your head... how did they get like this? It looks like a little lion!" Franky didn't care about the spy issue at all. Instead, he was examining the bumps on Sanji's head.

When they entered Wano Country, Robin had already told them that this was bound to happen, so he, Usopp, and Robin sat aside without getting involved in the argument.

"It must have been that polar bear who leaked the secret! They were the only ones who were captured by the enemy! It must be them!" Shinobu roared angrily at Trafalgar Law.

“Bepo and the others would rather die than tell anyone, don’t underestimate them!” Trafalgar Law said, then got up and left.

"Trafalgar Law, where are you going?" Sanji stopped Trafalgar Law as he was leaving and asked.

"Whether they leaked it or not, we'll find out once we rescue them and ask them!" Trafalgar Law said calmly.

"No, you're playing right into the enemy's hands, Traman!" Sanji said anxiously.

"Hmph! Anyone who gets captured must be killed! We need to silence them!" Xiao Ren said with a gloomy expression.

"Damn it... what did you say?" Trafalgar Law, who was blocked at the door by Sanji, immediately turned around and asked with an angry expression.

"What did I say?" Shinobu sneered, then said with a hint of pain, "In our ninja world, this is common sense! We... we're not playing around! We've waited twenty years for this moment! If we fail, we'll never have another chance!"

As she spoke, Shinobu couldn't hold back her tears.
