Chapter 238: Hidden Plan

Chapter 238: Hidden Plan

"You know them?" asks Buggy, faking his surprise when Oden knows the captured men are from Oniwabanshu.

"How can't I? They were serving my father in the past, but now they serve that bastard Orochi. There are many of them, so I don't know each of them. But I can recognize any of them if I see them. Where did you find them, Buggyjiro?" asks Oden.

"On my way here. They were following me and their gazes were very annoying, so I caught them. I thought they are your men, that's why I caught them without hurting them. I wanted to protest to you previously, I don't know that they aren't your men, sorry," says Buggy.

"No, it's okay, you helped me a lot by capturing them because they are enemies now. But I'm really impressed that you could even sense them. Oniwabanshu's ninjas are known to be very good at hiding their presence," says Oden.

"Is that so? Then I guess they aren't good enough. I can hide my presence better than them, so I guess I can be a ninja too if I want," says Buggy while suppressing his presence.

Oden widens his eyes when he can't sense Buggy's presence even though he is right before him. This is something that Wano's ninjas can't do. Oden doesn't know how Buggy does it and he wants to know, but he won't ask because it must be Buggy's secret skill.

He is right, it's Buggy's secret skill that has been trained for years. Buggy trained it to infiltrate many places for his information gathering. But last year, he reached a new level where he can hide his presence even from O-Haki users.

Buggy can manipulate his O-Haki to mask his presence. He could do it a few months after he could see the glimpse of the future. Maybe it's a unique ability because he doesn't remember Katakuri & Luffy have it.

But it's a good thing for him because it is a very useful ability. He can surround himself with O-Haki while suppressing his presence with the technique that he knows. It will block others' O-Haki, making them unable to sense him.

"So, what should we do with them?" asks Buggy, back to the topic.

"I think trying to make them talk will be useless, but we'll try at least," says Oden.

"Alright, I'll leave it to you then. Pirates like us aren't that good at interrogation," says Buggy.

Oden agrees and he asks his men to place the captured ninjas in the dungeon. Then Buggy & Dela excuse themselves because Oden will need time for the interrogation. The sparring can wait, this is more important.

So far, everything has gone well and they hope it will keep being like that. They've also prepared if their plan will be exposed at one point. No plan is flawless, after all, so they need to prepare for everything.

Back to Kuri where battles of pirates & samurais are happening everywhere. The Red Scabbards are also fighting the executives. Their battles are on different levels than the normal pirates' battles with normal samurais.

Their battles are affecting their surroundings and destroying a lot of things. That's why they don't fight near the town because they don't want to destroy things. They fight seriously with their real weapons now so their battles are different from the sparring match before.

But in the end, the executives still win the battles just like before. The Red Scabbards return with shame but their fighting spirits get lit up even more. They want to win from the Clowns badly, they haven't given up, and that's good.

Brook also has done well in his battle against Kanjuro. He has damaged Kanjuro's soul a little to not raise suspicion. But the damage is bad enough to weaken him for a rather long time. He will still do it a few more times though because he will still ask Kanjuro for duels.

Anyway, after the Red Scabbards returned, Oden calls them to the dungeon. He doesn't ask them about their battles and immediately shows them the captured Oniwabanshu's ninjas. It makes them surprised, especially Kanjuro who never gets a message from Orochi about this.

Just like what the Clowns hope, Kanjuro starts to doubt Orochi. He questions why Orochi sent these ninjas and starts to get suspicious. Now the Clowns need to play their cards well to keep this plan working.
