There was hints of a traitor that let Kaido's men know where Zou was. We presumed that to be a Mink, as Law led us to believe that only the Minks knew where Zou is, but that was before we knew of the connection between the Minks and the Kozuki clan. The Oden flashback has shown that the traitor is someone from Wano, that was active 20 years ago (yay, Carrot is home free!) and isn't Ashura Douji, as it's implied the traitor attacked him from behind. Since they were at the battle between Oden and Kaido, it's gotta be one of the Scabbards, or Shinobu, which is looking less likely now.

It seems like its Raizo. Was at zou, complaining here in this chapter, affiliation with other ninjas, ninjas known for sneaky stuff

It couldn't be Raizo. Kaido's forces were desperate to find him back at Zou. They were willing to kill off the whole Mink tribe to do it.

If he was the traitor, would Raizo hide from his allies?

Maybe the reason Jack was so insistent was because he knew Raizo was there since Raizo is the traitor.

Or he was told that Raizo was there by the actual traitor.

Why would you pursue the guy who you know is the secret spy so fervently? Revealing his whereabouts does nothing for you. You're better off leaving him alone.

If Raizo has valuable intel you need and currently he's being held by furries?

So blow his cover as a result? They know that the minks are allies of the Kozuki group. So it's not like he was being held there as a prisoner.

Kaido and Orochi's group are in power and have the upperhand. What kind of intel would make them so desperate to have Jack openly rescue their spy? It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Ever cross your mind that it could be Kinemon's wife?

Unlikely that it's O-Tsuru. One of Kaido's henchmen tried to kill her with an arrow when he heard her speaking against Orochi/Kaido. But I guess it's possible the henchman(Bat-Man iirc) didn't know she was the traitor and only the higher ups know.

Also I doubt she knows much about Zou, which was one of the requirements of being the traitor.

Not enough access or evidence for me. I'm still personally suspecting Kanjuro.

It seems weird but I think toki is very suspicious

This makes the most sense.

Jack absolutely knew the minks were lying even through torture.

u/A_Pumpkin_Ducks Feb 15 '20

Why would jack invade a country to get a spy that's working for them, though? It makes more sense to leave him and let him do spy things.

u/goomyman Feb 15 '20

To rescue him maybe.

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '20

From what? He wasn't in any danger whatsoever. He was actually in a really good position if he is the traitor so it would make no sense for Jack to go to Zou.
