Either Inuarashi or Nekomamushi.

The logic is it had to have been someone aware of the Zou situation. Which meant it only could be five people, and two of those don't make sense.

Of the Nine Scabbards, only five were involved with the movements outside of Zou. Meaning, only Kinemon, Kanjuro, Raizou, Inuarashi, or Nekomamushi was in a position to betray. Kinemon doesn't make sense as he had multiple opportunities to betray Momo to Caesar or Doflamingo and thus Kaido and Orochi. So, it couldn't be someone who was alone with Momo. Raizou also doesn't make sense because Jack and his Beast Pirates were trying to hard to find him, and there was no need for that if he was the spy. Now, part of me suspected Raizou because they were so sure he was on the island, which should only be certain if one had a Vivre Card for Raizou. So to be it was possible Raizou gave them a Vivre Card to lead them to Zou since Zou can't be reached by Log Pose. However, the fact they never found him proved there was no Vivre Card, especially after Jack left a team behind to try and find him while he tried to save Doflamingo. That still meant that someone among the Mink could have betrayed them, but only Inuarashi and Nekomamushi would be in a position to do that among the Mink because they were the only vassals among the Kozuki Clan and could have made that connection to Orochi and Kaido. Pedro could have been a suspect but he is already dead, since all other mink had never left Zou before then.

And the reason Ashura Doji, Denjiro/Kyoshiro, and Kawamatsu weren't suspects is obvious, because they weren't present during the plan meetings that ended up leaked. Ashura even fought a losing battle against Kaido when they couldn't wait for the others to arrive anymore, and Kawamatsu was imprisoned for years after protecting Hiyori from Orochi.

So basically, Kanjuro seemed the most suspicious to me, especially during the flashbacks. He was captured by Doflamingo after letting Kinemon escape after Momonosuke. Then, by happenstance, their plan to go to Zou is revealed, as was Raizou possible presence there, and Vergo was sent to Punk Hazard ahead of the Straw-Hats arriving there. Then Kanjuro conveniently escapes just when Kinemon and Momo return to get him. And Jack returns to Zou after Kanjuro and the group arrive at Zou. If you consider that Kanjuro was feeding them information the entire time, everything makes much more sense.

In all honesty, the fact Kinemon couldn't accept the truth until it was blatantly obvious is somewhat unbelievable. It just goes to show how much blind faith he had in the Nine and how impossible it was to him that one would betray the others. If he had compartmentalized the plan better, it would have been easier to flush Kanjuro out ahead of the plan.
