Chapter 409 After the Year, the Promise of the Year
After a long silence, Shimotsuki Koshiro said, "Since you know that he has powerful Conqueror's Haki, you should know that someone like him will not have his mind changed by others."
Shanks smiled and said, "I didn't intend to change his mind; I just hoped you could influence him."
Shimotsuki Koshiro shook his head. "I can't influence him at all, and in fact, we don't have much contact."
Shanks didn't say anything more.
What else could Shimotsuki Koshiro say after he'd gone this far?
"I think your father probably knows more about him, right?"
Shimotsuki Koshiro said calmly, "Maybe, but whether he's willing to talk about it is unclear."
Shimotsuki Koshiro believed his father wouldn't tell Shanks about Yoru's strength.
Shanks stood up, looked at the rising sun in the distance, and said, "What kind of person will he become in the future? If he stands in our way, perhaps we will be on opposite sides."
After Shanks finished speaking, he put on his clothes and left.
He held the bottle in one hand and placed the other on the handle of Griffin's knife.
Shimotsuki Koshiro didn't say anything.
When Yoru completely mastered the intertwining of Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki at the age of ten, his future was destined to be anything but simple.
Shimotsuki Koshiro knew very well that although he didn't know how high his student would stand in the future or what kind of person he would become, he would definitely be proud that Yoru was his former disciple.
Shanks left, but he did not visit Shimotsuki Kozaburo.
Knowing the personalities of the father and son, Shanks didn't do anything unnecessary.
They will not reveal too much information about Yoru.
He left with the members of the Red-Haired Pirates.
After Shanks left the East Blue, Yoru stayed in Windmill Village, occasionally visiting Shimotsuki Village to meet up with Shimotsuki Koshiro or to give Kuina some guidance.
After Yoru and Kuina's previous encounter, Kuina admitted that Yoru was stronger than her.
She also considered Yoru as the first person she needed to defeat. She believed that Yoru would be the person she needed to defeat before she could defeat the world's greatest swordsman.
When Shimotsuki Kozaburo learned of her thoughts, he wanted to advise her, but he couldn't bear to see her working so hard in her training.
Shimotsuki Kozaburo passed on the Wado Ichimonji to Kuina, which shows how much he loved his granddaughter.
That's a famous sword of the Great Grade Sword level, second only to the Supreme Great Grade Sword.
It is one of the two finest swords that Shimotsuki Kozaburo crafted in his lifetime.
He really didn't want to see his beloved granddaughter see someone she could never defeat as a goal to surpass.
However, when he saw that his granddaughter was working harder than before and was no longer as listless, he didn't say anything.
At least she sees Yoru as a goal to surpass, and although it's difficult to surpass, Kuina is more cheerful than before.
Ye Yu spent a full ten years in Windmill Village.
For ten years, Ye Yu had not cultivated much, and no one knew how powerful he had become.
Ten years later, Yoru, now 20 years old, is ready to set sail.
At 20 years old, Ye Yu already looks exactly like the character from the Naruto world, with the same height and weight.
The day before Yoru set sail.
In a forest behind the windmill village.
At this time, Luffy, who was only 15 years old, launched a challenge against Yoru.
He wanted Ye Yu to take him on board, and he wanted to become Ye Yu's captain.
In the mountains and forests, there was an open space, a grassland covering an area of several hundred meters, surrounded by tall and dense trees.
This is a natural arena.
Luffy is wearing the straw hat that Shanks gave him. Although there is no story about the Lord of the Coast, Shanks still gave his straw hat to Luffy.
After all, Luffy ate the Gum-Gum Fruit, or rather, the Nikka Fruit.
Ace stood by and watched the duel between the two.
He also decided to set sail now.
He was going to become a pirate, while Yoru was going on an adventure at sea; their purposes were different.
Ace was now 18 years old, which was indeed the age for him to set sail.
Yoru was 20 years old when she set sail, which is considered relatively old.
Yoru originally wanted to set sail when he was 18, but he postponed it for two years to fulfill his ten-year promise to Luffy.
For him, delaying his departure by two years was not a big deal. He had no specific goals and had no intention of finding the Great Treasure, so he didn't need to worry about timing.
Standing to the side watching the two on the grass, Ace thought to himself, "I wonder if Yoru can win. I haven't seen him train at all these years. I guess he'll be knocked down by Luffy in a few punches. I hope he doesn't lose too badly."
Ace hadn't seen Yoru train in all these years, and from the beginning he had thought that Yoru was not even as strong as five-year-old Luffy.
He hasn't cultivated in recent years, so it's conceivable that his strength is probably only at the level of an ordinary person.
Ace, or rather, apart from the Red-Haired Pirates, Shimotsuki Koshiro, and Shimotsuki Kozaburo, no one knew Yoru's strength.
Even the Red-Haired Pirates, as well as Shimotsuki Kozaburo and Koshiro, couldn't know for sure how strong Yoru was.
They only knew that Ye Yu was very strong, but they didn't really know just how strong he was.
Not to mention, Ye Yu has never made a move in the past ten years, and he knows nothing about it.
Whether it's progress or regression, I have no idea.
Yoru stood a dozen meters in front of Luffy, dressed in a white top and black bottom casual outfit, with neat and tidy short black hair.
Just by looking at her, it's hard to imagine that Yoru is a pirate.
Ye Yu dressed up like this on purpose; he didn't want to be misunderstood and cause unnecessary trouble.
Luffy, on the other hand, was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, slippers, and a straw hat that Shanks had given him.
Ye Yu did not use his knife; it was stuck in the ground beside him.
Luffy looked at Yoru and said with a smile, "Yoru, you don't seem to have been training very hard these past few years, so it's hard for you to beat me. Why don't you let me come aboard with you and set sail?"
Although Luffy thinks Yoru might be weak, he considers Yoru a good friend and he's determined to join Yoru's crew no matter what. He doesn't care whether he becomes Yoru's captain or not.
Yoru looked at Luffy calmly and smiled, "After you defeat me, you can do whatever you want."
Luffy grinned and said, "Haha, Yoru, don't blame me if I defeat you later."
Ye Yu calmly replied, "No, you'll have to defeat me first."
Luffy was still a little afraid of hurting Yoru, and warned him before making his move, "Be careful, I'm coming."
After saying that, he clenched his fist and shouted, "Rubber rocket launcher!"
He stretched his fists backward, his hands stretching for over ten meters. The next moment, his stretched rubber arms sprang towards Ye Yu.
It is very fast and very powerful.
