Chapter 382 Is the Pirate King Going to Become the Adventure King?
Ye Yu looked at Luffy but didn't try to persuade him to become a pirate or a marine. He simply explained the basics of being a pirate to him. What he chose was not Ye Yu's concern.
Makino also started to think about it. Following Yoru's train of thought, she realized that most pirates were indeed not good people.
After all, there are too many pirates, and they can't possibly participate in production themselves. If they rely on robbery, the loss rate will be very high.
Moreover, many people would resist robbery, and many pirates wouldn't dare to rob ships with powerful backers.
Then we can only target ordinary people who are the easiest to manipulate.
Many ordinary people will not surrender easily, and if a conflict breaks out, bloodshed will surely follow.
Especially women. When pirates see a woman, let alone a beautiful one, even just a woman who is somewhat presentable, those pirates who have been sailing on the sea for many days are probably pent up. You can easily imagine what they would do to a woman.
After thinking about this, Makino looked at Yoru.
Yoru's words shattered her illusions about Shanks for the first time.
Although Yoru said that Shanks and the others might be different, Makino knew that Shanks had somehow managed to get a billion Berries. Hadn't he done the things that Yoru mentioned?
Even if he himself didn't do it, with so many of his crew members, how could he guarantee that none of them had done it? Probably most of his crew members had.
Thinking about this, Makino's idealized view of Shanks shattered completely.
Although Shanks was a pirate, and a great pirate at that, Makino admired him greatly, since pirates in this world pride themselves on their high bounties.
Ordinary people also think that pirates with high bounties are very remarkable and powerful people.
Makino was like that; she used to think Shanks was a superstar.
Now, Makino not only no longer has those feelings for him, but she's even starting to feel repulsed by him.
Despite appearing older than Yoru and Luffy, Makino is only 20 years old and still quite young and naive.
Yoruhae, after all, has the mindset of an adult, and has spent so many years in the Naruto world.
He knew all too well what bandits and the like were like.
In this world, pirates will only become more vicious.
However, Makino didn't say anything.
Because Shanks is a great pirate, even though she no longer has the same admiration for him as before, she knows that he is not someone to be trifled with.
Because of his young age, Luffy bluntly asked, "Yoha, so you don't want to be a pirate in the future?"
Ye Yu rested his hands on the table, sighed, and chuckled, "Of course not."
Luffy walked up to Yoru, grabbed his arm, and said, "So, do you want to be a Marine?"
At this moment, Luffy really looked like Yoru's younger brother, with a completely bewildered expression.
Makino also looked at Ye Yu. Although she knew that Ye Yu's future would not be simple, she wanted to know what Ye Yu wanted to do in the future.
Ye Yu took a deep breath and smiled, "Maybe I'll become a bounty hunter. Or an adventurer who travels the whole world."
Luffy, somewhat hopeful, asked, "Then, doesn't that mean you're going to hunt down pirates?"
Ye Yu smiled and said, "Maybe. So I need to cultivate until I am strong enough. I will only hunt down those wicked pirates with high bounties. This way, I can both eliminate evil and bring peace, and also earn money to travel the world. It's a win-win situation."
"I've always wanted to travel the world. This world is mysterious, with many strange things, like mermaids and other creatures. I really want to see them."
What Ye Yu said was truly what he felt in his heart.
Having arrived in this world, Yoru didn't care about the events that were happening here, the grudges between the World Government and the pirates, the Void Century, or the Five Elders.
What he most wanted to see was Fishman Island. Mermaids were a common sight in fantasy novels, both before and after he transmigrated into the Naruto world.
Ye Yu was also very curious and looking forward to it—no, she was extremely excited.
More anticipated than anything else.
Yoru was most looking forward to seeing all the different kinds of mermaids on Fishman Island.
Luffy sat next to Yoru and listened intently as he recounted these stories.
It was as if Yoru had witnessed it with his own eyes; he was completely immersed in it.
Even Makino was captivated; the stories Ye Yu told were ones they had never heard before.
Of course, they didn't know that there were fish-men in the East China Sea, but the difference between fish-men and mermaids was quite large.
Many fish-men are called monsters, but mermaids are extremely rare creatures, even for the nobles of this world.
Not everyone in this world gets to see mermaids.
After listening to Yoru, Luffy, who was sitting next to Yoru, said, "Yoru, can I ride on your ship when you go to sea in the future?"
"I also want to go out to sea with you."
Ye Yu was stunned for a moment.
"Didn't you want to be a pirate and become the Pirate King?"
Luffy shook his head. "I don't want to be a pirate, I want to be an adventurer."
Seeing Luffy looking at Yoru with such adoration, Yoru's lips twitched slightly.
What am I doing?
It's astonishing that even the protagonist of this world has changed his aspirations. If Shanks knew about this, he'd probably be quite upset.
Because Ye Yu was so surprised, he remained silent for a long time.
Makino was also shocked. Garp had beaten Luffy up countless times, but he had never changed Luffy's idea of becoming a pirate. Yet Yoru had just told a few stories and fooled Luffy.
But now that Makino thinks about it, wasn't she also engrossed in Yoru's story just now?
Indeed, although pirates frequently appear in Windmill Village, people who live there year-round rarely talk about things at sea.
But the stories Ye Yu told were so bizarre and captivating that she wanted to go out to sea with him to see those strange things and creatures.
Moreover, what Ye Yu just mentioned about pirates completely shattered her previous admiration for Shanks.
On the contrary, she now thinks it's very cool that someone so young has such insight, and of course, Ye Yu is already very handsome.
Even though he is only ten years old, his appearance is the least questionable thing.
Seeing that Yoru was silent, Luffy shook his arm and said, "Yoru, why aren't you saying anything? Do you look down on me?"
"I'm very strong. Although I'm only five years old, I'm already stronger than many adults in the village."
As he spoke, Luffy showed off his muscles.
Of course not, he's only 5 years old.
But it's true that Luffy is very strong right now.
Having dragon genes, before Yoru had his stamina limitations removed, he was definitely not as strong as Luffy and would have been easily overwhelmed.
Keep in mind, Luffy is only five years old.
