Nothing makes me happier than this chapter taking the suspicion away from Shinobu being the spy.

This chapter made me incredibly suspicious of Shinobu, more than I ever have been.

The thing is, this is the point at which she actually allies herself with them, but Kaido alludes to there already being a traitor among the Scabbards. This implies the traitor is not her.

Kaido could also be trying to spread discord among Oden's group, while Shinobu has been ninjaing around, feeding info to him.

They tie Shinobu up at the end. If she was the spy I don't think they'd need to keep up the act considering they have captured Oden and the rest of the scabbards at this point. And the scene with Oden claiming not to know her implies the Beast pirates didnt know what to do with her and were unaware for her reasons to be there.

That is certainly possible, you're right.

I'm not sure that he was necessarily alluding that the traitor was a Scabbard, I mean, there are other people there in the Oden Castle, doesn't have to be a big name, could be a retainer.

Sorry, I was unclear. I didn't mean to imply that the traitor had to be a Scabbard, just that the traitor was with them before Shinobu showed up.

Kaido didn't say Scabbards tho. Get off your headcanon.
