Naruto: Releasing Chakra Limits at the Start

Chapter 406 The Red Hair is Numb

It's a pity that Yoru had no intention of becoming a pirate.

He smiled and said, "I'm too young right now, I don't want to go to sea, and I don't want to be a pirate."

While munching on ham, Luffy grinned and said, "Hehehe, that's right, Yoru will become an adventurer with me."

Shanks was stunned. "An adventurer? Why would you want to become an adventurer?"

Luffy laughed and said, "Because we want to go on adventures! The sea is so interesting, so Yoru and I want to go out to sea and see all the interesting things in the world."

Shanks frowned; this was the first time he had encountered such an idea.

Furthermore, Luffy ate the Nika Fruit, which means he's destined to become Joy Boy, and Joy Boy is a pirate.

But now it seems that Luffy has been taken by Yoru to become some kind of adventurer. Hasn't he deviated from the planned path?

Shanks looked at Yoru and asked, "Why don't you want to become a pirate? Have you ever been hurt by pirates?"

Yoru smiled and said, "No, it's just that I don't think it's necessary to be a pirate when you go to sea. Being chased by the Navy all day is too boring."

Ye Yu made up a reason on the spot.

Shanks, of course, didn't believe it.

However, he didn't ask any further questions. What he was more concerned about was why Luffy didn't become a pirate.

If you're not going to be a pirate, why did you eat the Nika Fruit?

Oh right, he forgot that it was Yoru who gave the Nika Fruit to Luffy.

But no matter what, Luffy ate it, and now he is Joy Boy's successor.

He's definitely going to become a pirate, and he'll reach the final island to unlock the One Piece.

But now Luffy doesn't even want to be a pirate anymore, so isn't that the end of everything?

Shanks' expression turned somewhat serious. "Luffy, haven't you always wanted to become a pirate?"

"Being an adventurer doesn't preclude being a pirate; in fact, the two are practically the same profession."

Luffy shook his head. "I don't want to be a pirate. I want to be an adventurer, and I will definitely become the King of Adventurers and surpass Yoru."

Shanks, however, felt no joy at all upon hearing Luffy's triumphant declaration.

Why does he feel like Yoru is leading Luffy astray?

He's only been gone for a few months, and Luffy has already changed his ideals. Yoru is just too outrageous.

Keep in mind that even Garp couldn't make Luffy give in using his fists.

How exactly did Yoru do that?

If Yoru hadn't lacked a Devil Fruit ability, he would have thought that Yoru had used some kind of Devil Fruit power to change Luffy's mind.

Luffy laughed heartily, munching on ham, as happy as a child—of course, he was a child after all.

Tonight is definitely Shanks' most chaotic night yet; he has no idea how to handle the current situation.

Luffy, who was destined to become a pirate and Joy Boy, suddenly doesn't want to be a pirate anymore and wants to be an adventurer instead. Isn't that ridiculous?

This fruit is for you to eat so that you can become Joy Boy and unlock the One Piece.

If you suddenly decide you don't want to be a pirate anymore after just one sentence, then what was the point of him bringing the Nika Fruit with him?

You should know that he risked everything to steal the Nika Fruit that CP9 was escorting, all in order to find Joy Boy's successor and make him eat the Nika Fruit.

Shanks was speechless. "Is there something wrong with Yoru, which is why Luffy is having problems?"

"Was it originally intended that Yoru should have been chosen by the Nika Devil Fruit instead of Luffy?"

Shanks is thinking about this problem.

The strange behavior of the Nika Fruit in the past has already proven that it is targeting Yoru, not Luffy.

He could even tell that the Nika Fruit was in a hurry, and when it was finally stuffed into Luffy's mouth by Yoru, he could feel the Nika Fruit's resentment.

Shanks is now increasingly convinced that Nightfeather is the rightful successor to Joy Boy; otherwise, how could his talent be so strong?

Moreover, the fact that Yoru's origins are a mystery is too much of a coincidence.

He had barely arrived here when he went and stole the Nika Fruit.

The One Piece on the final island said that in 20 years, a successor to Joy Boy would appear in Windmill Village.

At that time, the Nika Fruit will choose Joy Boy on its own.

However, the Nika Devil was clearly meant for Yoru, but Yoru forced it on Luffy.

Shanks was completely numb.

"That must be it. Ye Yu is the real successor to Joy Boy. This guy is not following the script at all."

Shanks looked at Yoru with a speechless expression.

Even if Yoru didn't eat the Nika Fruit, Luffy did, so he should be able to awaken the Nika Fruit, right?

But he was supposed to become a pirate, instead he's going to be an adventurer, a profession that's extremely rare in this world.

And what's the difference between an adventurer and a pirate?

Aren't they all just drifting around on the ocean?

We're all from the sea, so why are adventurers considered more noble than pirates?

Shanks was speechless.

The members of the Red-Haired Pirates in the tavern were initially shocked that Yoru had actually refused Shanks' invitation, considering that being the captain of the Red-Haired Pirates was a very high position.

He holds a very high position within the Red-Haired Pirates.

But Night Feather refused, and then they burst into laughter, seemingly mocking Shanks, saying, "Hahaha, the captain got rejected. Night Feather didn't give the captain any face at all."

Even a captain's pride can fail sometimes.

......

Shanks wasn't as open-minded as he usually was this time.

It's rather speechless.

"Yes, it was quite embarrassing to be rejected."

Shanks sighed, feeling both angry and helpless.

He can't just force Ye Yu onto the ship, can he?

He wouldn't do something like that.

Besides, if he did that, Luffy would probably have an even worse impression of him and be even less willing to become a pirate.

Shanks is now trying to slowly change Luffy's mindset, forcing him to abandon his ridiculous dream of becoming an adventurer and start dreaming of becoming a pirate again.

Luffy used to beg Shanks to take him on board because he wanted to be a pirate, but Shanks always disagreed.

Now that Luffy doesn't want to be a pirate anymore, Shanks is getting anxious.

They tried every possible way to make Luffy a pirate.

The reason Shanks initially disagreed with letting Luffy become a pirate was because he wanted to suppress Luffy's personality.

The more you suppress a child, the more they want to do it, and no amount of persuasion will change that.

The plan was originally going very well, but then Ye Yu appeared out of nowhere and messed everything up.

Luffy doesn't want to be a pirate anymore; he wants to be an adventurer. That's just too outrageous.

The members of the Red-Haired Pirates drank at the tavern until midnight. It was already late at night, and Yoru helped Makino clean up the mess.

Looking at the Red-Haired Pirates members sprawled out in the tavern, Yoru asked, "Sister Makino, aren't you going to let them leave?"

Makino glanced at the Red-Haired Pirates members lying everywhere and said, "Don't worry about them, just let them sober up naturally."

Shanks also passed out drunk on the bar.

Luffy was sleeping soundly on the bar counter, just like everyone else.

It seems that Makino is no longer surprised.

Tell Ye Yu not to worry about them.
