Chapter 243: Discovered

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 occupied 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 just come 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 clan mark on his back.

"What's the meaning of this, Kanjuro? Explain 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 to laugh, "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't last 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 manipulated by the Clowns.

Oden grabs Kanjuro's collar and then pulls him closer before asking him to explain everything. Without ant resistance, Kanjuro explains 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 clan as Orochi.

As Kanjuro keeps talking, Oden's anger also keeps adding up. It gets to the point where his anger becomes uncontrollable. 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. This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

"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.

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 relationship 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 success 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 Raizo comes 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 plan can proceed."
