Chapter 423 Various forces are eyeing Ye Yu
After that, Ye Yu didn't pay attention to the increase in bounty money; to him, whether the bounty money increased or not was meaningless.
If it were pirates, many people would be happy because their bounty increased.
However, Ye Yu does not need to increase his bounty to establish his status.
But just because Ye Yu doesn't care doesn't mean others don't.
The second bounty reached 5 million Berries, and the way Yoru used to knock out Smoker and the others in Loguetown was something that anyone who understands Haki would recognize as Conqueror's Haki.
Moreover, it's Conqueror's Haki with extremely high control.
On the ship of the Whitebeard Pirates in the New World.
The white-bearded man, who was sitting on the deck drinking wine while having water dripped from his neck, watched Marco walk towards him.
He smiled and said, "Marco, what's the matter?"
Marco took a newspaper and said, "Dad, something big has happened at sea."
Whitebeard laughed heartily, "Hahaha, you're making a big fuss over nothing. What could possibly be wrong?"
"Could it be that Roger has been resurrected? Hahaha!"
Marco said helplessly, "Dad, I'm serious, I'm not joking."
The white-bearded man, who had been smiling, became serious and asked, "You're so serious, it must be something serious. Tell me, what happened?"
Marco unfolded the newspaper in his hand and placed it in front of Whitebeard, saying, "Father, a remarkable figure has appeared at sea."
Whitebeard looked at the newspaper, and when he saw the introduction of Yoru, he frowned. After reading for a while, he said, "This kid is interesting. It seems that Sengoku is definitely having a headache."
"Haha, this kid is interesting. Marco, go ask him if he'd like to join our Whitebeard Pirates."
Whitebeard is very interested in Yoru.
He could tell from Yoru's battle in Loguetown and the speed at which Yoru's bounty increased that Sengoku valued Yoru.
Marco nodded and said, "But someone like that would probably not be willing to be subordinate to someone else."
Whitebeard smiled and said, "He's still too young. He has great potential, but that doesn't mean he'll achieve great things in the future."
"But at least we can be sure that this guy is a master swordsman, and he is also very skilled in using his domineering aura."
"He's from Garp's hometown, hahaha, Garp must be furious."
Marco said with a serious expression, "I'm afraid we're not the only ones eyeing that kid. Anyone with a bit of knowledge knows about his potential and strength."
Whitebeard looked serious and said, "Yes, although he is still very young, his ability to precisely control Conqueror's Haki proves that his strength may not be inferior to yours."
Marco didn't think anything was wrong.
Although he was one of the top members of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco knew very well that someone who had mastered Conqueror's Haki was extremely difficult to deal with.
In particular, Yoru's ability to knock out Smoker, a naval captain, seemingly without any effort, proves that his mastery of Conqueror's Haki is incredibly refined, and that the intensity of his Conqueror's Haki is very high, though he doesn't know exactly how high.
If you are mentally prepared, you won't be affected by Conqueror's Haki. At least a Navy captain shouldn't have been knocked unconscious by Yoru.
However, the fact that Smoker was knocked unconscious without any resistance proves that Yoru's Conqueror's Haki is among the top tier.
Most importantly, Yoru is clearly a swordsman, but he has never drawn his sword.
This shows that the opponents he encountered were not worth drawing his sword for.
Marco said with a serious expression, "I'm afraid Shanks, Beasts, and Big Mom all have their eyes on that kid."
Whitebeard laughed and said, "Although I am a remnant of the old era, I am not so bad as to lose to those few people. Go to the first half of the route and test that kid's true strength."
"If it's really as we suspect, then bring him to see me."
Whitebeard was very confident; after all, he was Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world, and he didn't believe that Yoru would refuse his invitation.
Marco nodded.
At this moment, Vista, the "flower swordsman," stepped forward and said with a smile, "Marco, how about I go with you? That kid should be a swordsman of great skill. I'd like to test his swordsmanship."
Vista is a great swordsman, and even when he fought Hawkeye for a short time, he was not at a disadvantage.
Marco didn't speak, but looked at Whitebeard. Whitebeard nodded and said, "Although it seemed a bit like you two were bullying a junior, if that kid can handle it, it means he's a talent and deserves my invitation."
Vista laughed and said, "Father, I'll test that kid's swordsmanship. Maybe he's a sword master. If he's willing to come aboard, could we make him one of my members?"
Marco realized that Vista was trying to steal him.
He immediately said, "If he really is a swordsman, of course he should join our First Division. Your Fifth Division is full of swordsmen, so we don't lack swordsmen at all."
Vista laughed and said, "Marco, you're the one who wants to bring that kid under your wing, aren't you?"
"It's obvious that the kid will have a better future if he joins my Fifth Division."
Marco rolled his eyes at Vista, then turned to look at Whitebeard.
Whitebeard chuckled and said, "If that kid were truly a powerful swordsman, he certainly wouldn't have joined the First Division, much less the Fifth Division. I would allow him to establish his own division."
Yoru reminded Whitebeard of Oden, who was the captain of his second division back then.
Oden was a swordsman back then, and a very powerful one at that.
Back then, Oden was the second strongest member of the Whitebeard Pirates, after Whitebeard himself.
Whitebeard actually hoped that Yoru would be that kind of strong person.
Marco and Vista were somewhat disappointed after hearing Whitebeard's words.
They actually quite wanted to recruit Ye Yu into their ranks; after all, who wouldn't want to add a strong member to their team?
Although it was a bit of a pity, the two of them didn't seem to care.
They also knew that if Ye Yu was really strong, he would definitely not be subservient to others, after all, Ye Yu also possessed Conqueror's Haki.
Just as Marco said, Kaido and Big Mom have indeed set their sights on Yoru.
Oni Island in Wano Country.
Kaido, who was drinking, looked at the newspaper containing information about Yoru, and his gaze gradually became serious.
After putting down the newspaper, he calmly said, "This kid is interesting. He doesn't seem to have formed his own pirate crew yet, but he seems to be using Conqueror's Haki quite well."
After thinking for a moment, Kaido looked at the group of people who were drinking and said, "Jack."
Jack the Drought, who was drinking, paused for a moment, not understanding why Kaido had called him over.
However, he still said, "Lord Kaido, is there anything I can do for you?"
Kaido tossed the newspaper in his hand and said calmly, "Bring this kid to the first half of the route."
