One Piece

Drunk then stabbed the ass.

Okay a drunken death, now that's funny.

Its gotta be crazy as Hell.

I mean, isn't that the plan? To kill everyone while they're drunk?

So this chapter is one of the top trends on Twitter now...

How?

Apparently Zoro getting a sword is that amazing

Then the episode that adapts this chapter is gonna break the internet.

Do people outside of Japan even CARE about the anime?

...Just kidding, I love the anime and especially how well the Wano adaptation is going.

People outside of Japan did not care about the anime for a long time after the 4Kids dub, but One Piece has been slowly growing more and more in popularity since then, to the point that it is legitimately huge now, though not quite to the same level as it is in Japan, where it is The Biggest Thing.

Wait, isn't the chapter trending a really bad idea? It's technically not out yet.

Okay they did another of those One Piece noodle commercials this one starring Nami.

Wow this is like the prettiest Nami has ever been.

Early design Nami scoffs at your nonsense.

These Cup Noodle commercials are too much, man, the animation quality contrasts so hard with the fact it's a commercial for noodles always hits me like a punch in the gut. Just give us an official One Piece High School AU and quit teasing us.

Yeah, I want a Strawhats High School Days now.

Oooh this is an interesting video that theorizes about who the traitor leaking information to Orochi might be. It's not ironclad, but it's still pretty convincing and interesting to think about. (I also like how its presented with the music)

Wow that video was epic. I love the logic and thinking that person used.

Basically, the theory is that Kanjurou is the traiter.

The problem with that theory is that the traitor has to be someone who is and who is not working for Orochi and possesses knowledge Kanjuru doesn't have and lacks knowledge Kanjuru would tell, if he were a traitor.

Kanjuru wouldn't know that Raizou made it to Zou. He was caught in a storm and might have drifted somewhere else. Not to mention why didn't Kanjuru later tell anyone that Momonosuke is on Zou? But even assuming he knew, why didn't he tell Orochi about Raizou? Why only the Beast Pirates? At no point in the Wano arc even did Orochi know about the reappearance of Team Oden. Of course, one could say that the traitor is working for the Beast Pirates and not Orochi. But then, why is Orochi given the report? And why does he still not know about the reappearance? Him knowing about this would only jeopardize the rebellion. It doesn't look like even Kaidou is much aware of anyone besides Asura, Raizo or those outside of Wano. Or why didn't he tell about the prison takeover. Kanjuru had six days. Just one call to King or Queen and Luffy would be done.

Plus, how does Kanjuru know about Komurasaki? He shouldn't be aware of her importance, let alone the connection to Hiyori. Yet, the traitor knows about this.

Given all of this, no could be the traitor. The traitor knows simultaneously more and less than any possible candidate. That being said, if there is a traitor, it would probably be Kanjuru and the discrepancy is just another oversights and plot/logic hole regarding the Wano arc.

Re:Komirasaki, no one in series seems to really know they're the same besides herself, Otoko, and Kyoshiro. So that one's not a point for or against.

The video also brings up why Jack would only after Raizo. He was the only one who actually got to Zou, or at least the only one who could have, since Momonosuke and Kin'nemon were sidetracked and he was stuck on Dressrosa.

As for why Kanjuro would or wouldn't tell certain things, and why Orochi didn't know some of it, the simplest thing is that he's reporting to someone in the Animal Kingdom/Beasts Pirates and they're reporting to Orochi as they see fit.

One idea that came to me as I was typing this response: whoever the traitor is isn't working for Kaido or Orochi, but but whoever the person who freed Law from prison (who seems to most likely assumed to be Drake). At the very least we know there's at least one other party with their own agenda running around in all this. Two if we include Kyoshiro.

Actually, Orochi seems to have been told about the Udon takeover. That's why he's asking about Udon. He just doesn't know that Tama tamed the guards, so he believes that everything is fine and assumes his report is incorrect.

This also kills any possibility of the leaker reporting to the Beast Pirates since they would have checked that themselves. Which in turn means this leaker must be someone different from whoever snitched Raizo's whereabouts, since that's something the Beast Pirates know but Orochi doesn't.

Komurasaki is a pretty big argument against Kanjuru being the traitor. The traitor knows that Komurasaki is alive. Which means the traitor is aware of the connection between Hiyori and Komurasaki. As you said, only Hiyori herself, Toko and Kyoshiro do know. Kanjuru or anyone else are not aware. So it has to be one of the three, which doesn't make much sense either, since they started the whole Komurasaki is dead spiel to begin with. Also neither of the three would be able to know about the prison. Let alone anything regarding the outside of Wano like Zou. Whoever reported to Orochi can't be one of the time travelers and likewise, whoever reported to Kaidou can't be one of the not-time travelers.

So it means there are three options:

1. There are two traitors. One working for Kaidou and one working for Orochi but not the other party. Kanjuru would be the most likeliest candidate working for Kaidou, while there are too many options for Orochi's traitor. And that's without how they managed to connect Hiyori with Komurasaki in the first place.

2. There is one traitor and Oda screwed up quite a bit.

3. There are two traitors and Oda only screwed up the part with Komurasaki.

Orochi got the report that Hiyori was still alive, but I don't think he knows that she and Komurasaki are the same person.

Ah okay. I really thought I had read Komurasaki. That kills option three then. Though it still begs the question why only the survival of Hiyori was reported and not Momo. And given the way Orochi talks about Udon, it seems that he got the report from his own men and not Kaidou's.

Sounds like we have quite the Wham Episode incoming - the Warlords are dunzo and government hit squads have been dispatched to, ahem, clean them up. Somebody died at Reverie; unclear who at the moment. And X Drake? Yeah, he's been a deep mole for the Marines for his entire pirate career.

@Hamburger Time Well, the government has their hands in everything.
