Naruto: Releasing Chakra Limits at the Start

Chapter 375 The Child Shanks Left Behind

However, Shanks did not explain Yoru's situation to the members of the Red-Haired Pirates in the tavern.

When they arrived on the ship and left Windmill Village, Shanks was sitting on the deck, surrounded by the core members of the Red-Haired Pirates.

They stared intently at Shanks, knowing full well that Shanks had gathered them here to discuss Nightfeather.

Shanks glanced at his core members and laughed, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you guys after all."

Shanks' words made the core members of the Red-Haired Pirates laugh. "Hahaha, of course, boss, you're underestimating us too much. We are the Red-Haired Pirates."

After his smile faded, Shanks looked at the group and said with a serious expression, "It was that child who made it."

After Shanks finished speaking, few people looked surprised; on the contrary, they all felt that this was exactly what they had guessed.

"That kid is extraordinary; I never expected him to possess the qualities of a king."

"Not only that, I've never seen that level of Conqueror's Haki before. Even the boss's Conqueror's Haki isn't that terrifying. That kid is bound to become a very troublesome person in the future, right?"

The strength of one's Conqueror's Haki can determine a person's future potential.

As for Yoru's Conqueror's Haki, it was the most powerful they had ever seen, even surpassing the Four Emperors.

Because they are core members of the Red-Haired Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, they have seen too many strong people, especially the strong people of other Four Emperors' pirate crews. They have fought countless times, and there are quite a few strong people with Conqueror's Haki.

However, they had never encountered Conqueror's Haki of the same intensity as Yoru's.

They felt that even the Four Emperors' Conqueror's Haki was completely overwhelmed by Yoru's.

The core members of the Red-Haired Pirates are all very knowledgeable, so they talked a lot.

Shanks remained silent.

Only after everyone had finished speaking did he say seriously, "I don't know what this child's future potential is. He may become our enemy, he may become our friend, he may even become the next Pirate King, or even become the legend who ends this chaotic generation. No one can predict it."

"No matter what, I will keep an eye on him. I want to see what kind of strong person with such Conqueror's Haki will become in the future."

The core members of the Red-Haired Pirates all nodded, agreeing with Shanks's idea.

Even Beckman did not refute it.

This incident occurred in Windmill Village.

Yoru was still unconscious. Luffy was holding a meat leg, but Makino stopped him.

Otherwise, he would shove that meaty leg into Ye Yu's mouth.

Luffy thought that eating meat would make Yoru feel better.

Makino looked at Ye Yu and sighed, "Ye Yu is really unlucky to run into something like this as soon as he arrived here."

Luffy stood to the side, crying as he said, "That damned bandit, once I get stronger, I'll definitely beat him to a pulp and avenge Yoru."

Makino didn't say anything.

She actually found it a bit strange; she didn't understand why Shanks would unleash Conqueror's Haki and knock out all his subordinates.

That's completely illogical.

If he wanted to save Ye Yu, he wouldn't need to resort to such a method that would result in heavy casualties.

But that's exactly what Shanks did.

Based on her understanding of Shanks, she knew he wouldn't do something so thoughtless.

So who did it?

Makino didn't understand Conqueror's Haki, but Shanks had explained the basic principles to her.

Based on the principles, she deduced that Shanks was definitely not the one who activated that Conqueror's Haki.

Could it be those bandits?

Makino shook her head. "It shouldn't be those bandits. If it were, Ye Yu wouldn't be alive."

"And why would Shanks provide cover for those bandits?"

Makino looked at Yoru, her gaze slightly narrowed. "Could it be...?"

Makino considered a frightening possibility.

However, she wasn't sure at all, because Ye Yu was also seriously injured.

But after thinking about it for a long time, she realized that Ye Yu seemed to be a strong suspect.

Shanks actually stepped in to save Yoru, even though he had been standing by and watching the whole time.

Why did Shanks intervene to save Yoru? Did he discover something special about Yoru that prompted his intervention?

The more Makino thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.

Moreover, only Yoru's special circumstances can explain why Shanks' attitude towards him has reversed so drastically.

Regardless, Makino knew that Yoru was definitely not an ordinary person.

Perhaps Yoru just hasn't grown up yet.

After all, Ye Yu's origins are still unclear.

Makino looked at Ye Yu and said, "Ye Yu, I don't know if it was right or wrong for me to take you in."

Shanks asked Makino to take in Yoru, and Makino hadn't refused before, as she already had feelings for Yoru.

It's not good for a child as young as Ye Yu to wander around.

However, after guessing that Yoru might not have an ordinary background, Makino hesitated.

After thinking for a while, Makino decided to take in Yoru.

After all, she did have a good impression of Ye Yu.

When it was time to rest, Makino made Luffy some food and then took him home.

Luffy lives alone in his house in Windmill Village; Garp is rarely home.

The villagers have always taken turns taking care of him.

After all, Garp is a vice admiral in the Navy, a naval hero, a celebrity in their Windmill Village, and the reason why Windmill Village is rarely disturbed by pirates despite being located in the East Blue.

Even the Red-Haired Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, dare not act recklessly here.

It's all because this is Garp's hometown, and Garp's grandson lives here.

After sending Luffy home, Makino returned to the tavern, where the village chief was already waiting.

The village chief looked at Makino and asked seriously, "Makino, was that child Shanks left behind?"

Makino, worried that the village chief wouldn't allow Yoru to stay, nodded. "Yes, he asked me to take care of him."

The village chief nodded. "Since that child was left behind by Shanks, he shouldn't be a particularly evil person. But you should think carefully. Shanks is one of the Four Emperors. If Garp asks you about the child he left behind, what will you say?"

Makino sat down in front of the village chief and said seriously, "Tell Mr. Garp the truth, Mr. Garp doesn't have that much hostility towards Mr. Shanks."

"Otherwise, why would Mr. Shanks often come here to rest?"

The village chief naturally knew, but he was a little worried that Karp would blame him.

However, considering Garp's personality, he didn't think about it any further.

"That child's injuries are quite severe. Was he beaten by those bandits?"

Makino nodded.

The village chief sighed, "The members of the Red-Haired Pirates aren't having an easy time either. They've made such a mess of just one test."

The village chief imagined that Yoru was being beaten so badly by the bandits as a test from Shanks. After all, in novels, powerful pirate crews often test their subordinates to select the strongest ones.
