## One Piece Chapter 974, pages 8-9: Onward to Onigashima!! - Chapter: 974 - Pages: 8-9 - Characters: Kin'emon, Kanjuro, Kikunojo, Raizo, Kawamatsu, Inuarashi, Ashura Doji, Kurozumi Orochi ### Summary Page 8: The retainers finally face the possibility of a traitor. Someone says, "It's strange, though...!!" and another answers, "So our strategy has been stale once again!!!" They realize that someone knows every move: "Someone... no, we all thought of that!!" In the storm, they admit, "There's most likely an enemy informant within our midst...!!! And to be honest, at this point, I didn't want to think about it, but..." One of them says, "I don't want to know." Kin'emon is forced to name the logic: "You have to be the proactive one that takes holds of the situation by telling us to 'find the informant!! and dispose off him!!!'" but Kanjuro protests, "Kinemon!!! This is not like you!!!" Kiku cries, "It's exactly like Kiku says!!!" and urges, "Kin!!! Let's get this over and done with!!!" The others know the informant will not simply reveal himself. Page 9: Kanjuro ends the question himself. Smiling in the rain, he says, "I am, exactly that!" The others stare in disbelief: "Kanjuro!?" He explains that since childhood, ever since he lost his emotions, he has been searching for a place to die. He adds, "Yes that's right, and it's precisely because I'd have died with you all that I was able to fulfill the perfect role!!!" The betrayal was older than their friendship: "From the very beginning, the Kanjuro you all know never existed." His role was simple: to continuously feed Master Orochi information. He insists he never intended to hurt any of them, did not resent them, obtained their absolute trust, and experienced joy and sorrow with them all on a daily basis.
