238 238. Plans

A spy?!

Everyone was shocked. Nami covered her mouth and asked in disbelief, "How is that possible?"

Kinemon was panicking, "Is there a mistake? He had gone through many dangers with us, we even faced death together!"

They all waited for Leo's response.

"He is a spy. As for evidence... you'll get that soon."

Leo spoke slowly. He nodded to Flare who dragged Kanjuro outside the house. He then disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Sit down. It's gonna take a while."

The Strawhats were confused. The situation hit them out of nowhere. However Zoro wasn't as bothered as they were. He sat down and closed his eyes.

"Oi, Zoro. Aren't you worried he is lying?"

Usopp asked softly.

Zoro barely opened his eyes and said, "Teacher doesn't need to go through so much trouble, he would just cut us all down."

With that Usopp shut up.

Tama was curious as to what happened and asked, "Big brother, what happened?"

Leo explained to her, "That guy was working for the enemy, so I had uncle Flare take him far away for questioning."

"Oh!"

For some reason everyone trembled when they heard the word 'questioning'.

After a hour Flare came back. Kanjuro wasn't with him, however Zoro, Law and Kinemon spotted a speck of blood on the corner of his uniform.

"Sir, he was sent by the current shogun, Orochi. His job was to send intel at regular intervals. Last delivery was a day ago."

Flare reported.

Leo nodded, "Good work. Since he is taken of your movements from now on will be invisible. Go do your own thing."

Speaking upto here he turned to Chopper and threw a small box to him.

Chopper caught it. He opened it and found several small vials filled with different coloured liquids. He looked at Leo confused.

Leo explained, "That's all the drugs I have on me. Poison resistance, faster recovery, healing... there are a few samples of those inside. I heard you are an excellent doctor, those might help you."

Chopper widened his eyes in surprise and thanked Leo.

After that episode Kinemon took Usopp and went to find Ashura.

Tsuru arranged a house for them to stay temporarily. It wasn't big, but it was enough. Once they settled in they combed through their plan.

"Law, where is your crew?"

Nami asked.

Law leaned on the wall and said, "They will meet up with us soon."

He then said to the others, "The flier meant for those with the half moon mark have spread throughout Wano. Our next step is to bring them all together on the night of the fire festival, but the only problem is, we don't have enough weapons."

Flare cut in when he heard Law, "I'll take care of the weapons."

Everyone looked at him, Chopper asked, "How?"

Flare curled his lips into a smile, "Orochi has a number of armouries."

Oh, they are gonna rob again. Why does it feel as if they act more like a pirate than we do?

Shaking off irrelevant thoughts Nami asked everyone, "What about Luffy? We need to save him."

Zoro rubbed his chin for a second and said, "I say let's take it easy. The more we plan the easier it's to lose some details. Let's just keep it simple."

Chopper was worried, he asked, "Will he be alright?"

Zoro waved his hand, "Don't worry, he'll be fine. Anyway, where is Brooke, Robin and Franky?"

"They are collecting intel on the enemy. Right, we should meet up with them."

Since most of the plans were laid out Flare got up. He threw a den-den mushi to Nami and said, "I'll inform you when I get the weapons."

Nami caught the den-den mushi and asked curiously, "Why are you guys helping us?"

Flare was about to leave the room when he heard her. He paused for a second and said, "Orochi and Kaido made Tama's life miserable."

He left after saying that. Everyone looked at each other lost in thought.

Zoro grabbed his swords and walked out, "I'll be leaving as well. Call me if you need something."

Chopper asked, "Where are you going?"

Zoro tilted his head and thought, "I don't know. I'll just look around. Don't worry, teacher is here. Even Kaido himself won't be able to hurt anyone of you with him here."

With that Zoro also left.

Law said to Nami, "With that marine our plans are much more guaranteed. I'll go get my crew. Inform me if something pops up."

Now most of them were gone except for Nami and Chopper.

At this moment Tsuru came inside, "I see your friends are gone."

Nami smiled and said, "They have some things to do. Thanks for giving us a place to stay."

"Don't worry about it. You are here to help us, this is the least I can do."

Nami asked, "Is there anything I can help you with. Now that most of the things are taken care of I have a lot of free time."

"Is that so? Then why don't you help me with some chores."

Nami was happy to help. She asked Chopper, "You coming?"

Chopper shook his head, "You go ahead. I have to replicate those drugs he gave me, it'll take a lot of time."

Nami nodded and left with Tsuru. When he walked outside she saw Momonosuke practising with a wooden sword.

"He is working hard."

Nami spoke with a smile on her face. Tsuru nodded.

She turned her head and saw Leo with Tama. He was helping her to adjust her posture. Tama looked clumsy as she made a rough pose. However Leo was very calm and patient as he helped her.

"He is really good to Tama."

She mumbled.

Tsuru was right next to her, so she heard her and said, "Yes. He really dotes on her. And I am glad he is, she has gone through a lot."

Nami turned to face her and said seriously, "Don't worry, this will all change. We'll take down Kaido!"

Tsuru nodded and said, "I hope so."
