Chapter 403 Nika Fruit
Seeing Shanks covered in sweat and looking weak, Makino asked with concern, "Yoru, what happened?"
While eating, Ye Yu glanced at Shanks and explained, "It's nothing. Captain Shanks just wanted to take a look at my sword, but something unexpected happened."
It was only then that Makino noticed the knife stuck in Yoru's waist.
"You're carrying a knife?"
Ye Yu smiled and said, "This is a sword I forged."
Makino looked delighted. "You forged this yourself? That's amazing!"
Makino said with a proud look on her face.
Shanks, standing to the side, was somewhat speechless. Was Makino focusing on the wrong thing?
Isn't the focus now on his injury?
Ye Yu smiled and explained to Makino, "It was my master's father who taught me this. This is a summary of all the forging techniques I've learned over the years."
Makino nodded.
Luffy looked at the sword at Yoru's waist and laughed, "This sword is so strange, it can actually hurt people, but why isn't it hurting Yoru?"
Yoru said, "If the sword I forge can hurt myself, then I've failed miserably."
Luffy thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's true."
Shanks ate a ham, which restored some of his strength.
The feeling of all his domineering aura being suddenly drained was terrifying; it was the first time Shanks had ever experienced something like this.
He is Shanks, the Red-Haired Man. His current achievements are largely due to his domineering presence, which is among the best in the world.
Some people even believe that Shanks's Haki is the strongest in the world.
Because Shanks didn't eat a Devil Fruit, all his strength comes from his own efforts. If his Haki wasn't top-tier, he wouldn't have achieved what he has today.
However, despite his powerful domineering cultivation and exceptional swordsmanship, his domineering aura was completely drained by a single blade, rendering him unable to tame even a blade.
It's important to know that Shanks' sword, Griffin, is a Supreme Grade Sword, and Shanks himself is a great swordsman standing at the pinnacle of the world.
His swordsmanship is no worse than Hawkeye's.
The two often fought, with no clear winner.
But he was actually subdued by a knife.
That's right, he was suppressed. Just now, Yuan Ren not only drained Shanks's Haki, but also unleashed a Haki that even made Shanks's heart tremble.
What's most terrifying is that Ye Yu instantly suppressed all that domineering aura.
He didn't know whether Ye Yu indirectly controlled the Haki by controlling the sword, or whether he directly suppressed the sword's Haki.
If it's the first one, then that's more normal. After all, Ye Yu is the owner of this sword, so it's normal for him to be able to control its domineering aura.
But if it's the second type, that would be terrifying.
The fact that Ye Yu could forcibly suppress the domineering aura of this sword shows that Ye Yu's own domineering aura cultivation is extremely terrifying, at least no weaker than that of this sword.
This suggests that Ye Yu's domineering cultivation level might also shock him.
What's most terrifying is that Ye Yu has awakened his domineering aura at such a young age.
Moreover, his domineering cultivation level is not weak.
Wait, Shanks realized that Yoru had already awakened Haki long ago.
That kind of domineering aura is far inferior even to his.
Shanks was utterly shocked as he watched Yoru devour his food.
"It seems that this kid not only has the potential to be a king, but his strength has probably already reached a very high level."
Luffy stood next to Yoru, watching Yoru eat the food Makino had prepared for him, and his mouth watered.
Yoru gave his ham to Shanks; he was already full, but he still wanted more.
Soon, he saw a box next to him.
He took the box, opened it, and found a strange-looking fruit inside.
Just as Luffy was about to take it out and eat it, the fruit suddenly flew out.
The target was Yoru's mouth.
This scene stunned everyone.
Even Shanks, who had just recovered somewhat, was shocked.
This is a Devil Fruit he obtained after robbing CP9's ship.
Moreover, he was well aware of the special nature of this Devil Fruit.
This is the legendary Nika Fruit. However, because no one has been able to awaken this Devil Fruit over the years, people have always thought it was just an ordinary rubber fruit.
But why is this fruit moving on its own?
And why did it target Ye Yu?
Shanks seemed to recall what Roger had told him before: the Nika Fruit would seek out people who might awaken the power of this Devil Fruit.
But why is it looking for Night Feather?
Shanks actually intended to give the Devil Fruit to Ace.
He knew that Ace was Roger's son, and as Roger's crew member, Shanks naturally hoped that Ace would become the legendary Joy Boy.
However, the Nika Fruit has one unique characteristic: it will seek out a master it recognizes, and the person it seeks out is the one most likely to become the Sun God.
Yoru also sensed something attacking him.
Just as the Gum-Gum Fruit was about to enter Yoru's mouth, if Yoru could swallow even a tiny bit of the fruit's flesh, he would gain all of its power.
But Ye Yu moved quickly; just as the fruit was about to hit him, he tilted his head and dodged it.
He didn't know that the Rubber Fruit was the Nika Fruit, and of course, he didn't know what Nika was either.
All he knew was that Luffy ate the Gum-Gum Fruit.
But how did this fruit fly here on its own?
Yoru didn't understand.
He looked at Shanks.
Shanks was also surprised. He soon learned that Yoru was the next owner chosen by this fruit.
Shanks smiled. "That's more like it, otherwise all the talent you showed before would have been wasted."
Shanks thought to himself that although he would prefer his captain's son to become Joy Boy, the fruit would find its own owner.
All the special characteristics that Yoru had shown in the past indicated that Yoru was clearly the next Joy Boy.
This is the fruit's own choice.
Just as he was about to persuade Yoru to eat the fruit, Yoru noticed that Shanks remained silent.
I thought he didn't care about this Devil Fruit, but then I remembered that Luffy ate it.
Just as the fruit flew towards him again, he caught it with one hand.
Strangely, the Devil Fruit stopped the moment Yoru caught it.
It did not move again.
Just when Shanks thought Yoru would eat it, Yoru handed the Devil Fruit to Luffy with a smile, saying, "You're still not full? Eat this."
Luffy is completely naive. When he heard that Yoru was going to give him food, he immediately took it and said with a smile, "Yoru, you're so kind."
As he spoke, he took a bite.
But just as Luffy was about to bite the fruit, it turned into a gust of wind and flew towards Yoru.
Moreover, it was even faster this time, as if Ye Yu hadn't eaten it earlier, which made it very angry.
Yoru also found it strange. In his memory, there didn't seem to be any Devil Fruits like this in the One Piece world. How could it have its own consciousness?
