Naruto: Releasing Chakra Limits at the Start

Chapter 381 What is a pirate?

Luffy is terrified of Garp, so when he talks about Garp, his face is full of fear.

After Luffy finished explaining his situation, he looked at Yoru and said, "Yoru, I also want to train in swordsmanship with you."

Ye Yu firmly replied, "No, I don't want to get into trouble. If your grandfather finds out, it will be a real problem. Besides, you're not suited to learning swordsmanship. You probably don't have the patience to practice, right?"

“Practicing swordsmanship must be very tedious and boring, not as fun as hunting and eating meat in the forest.”

"You might have to stay still all day to practice one move, would you still want to learn it?"

Luffy, who had been somewhat interested, immediately shook his head when he heard that he would be unable to move for an entire day. "No way, absolutely not, I can't take it. But you probably can't take it either, right? Since swordsmanship is so boring, why don't you train with me? My grandfather would be very happy to have another disciple."

Ye Yu shook his head. "No, I've already become an apprentice, and I love swordsmanship. I want to be a swordsman, so you don't need to try to persuade me anymore."

Luffy pouted and said, "Damn it, then I can't play with you anymore."

This is Luffy's real goal. After all, he is only five years old and has finally found a new playmate, so he is naturally unwilling to give it up.

Ye Yu laughed and said, "I don't practice swordsmanship every day. I only go two days a week. Sister Makino gives me two days off every week, and I use those two days off to practice."

Luffy thought for a moment and said, "Then why don't you join my crew? My crew has Ace, and he's really interesting."

Luffy hasn't become sworn brothers with Ace yet, so he doesn't consider Ace his older brother.

But I also consider him a very good friend.

However, Ye Yu was not interested in them.

Upon arriving in this world, Ye Yu naturally didn't intend to get involved with the protagonist; she simply wanted to witness the various strange creatures and landscapes of this world.

This is what Ye Yu most wanted to do after coming to this world.

Even the purpose of cultivation is to ensure safety when going to sea in the future.

Therefore, Ye Yu naturally had no interest in paying attention to the main characters.

Of course, Yoru didn't actually know that Ace was the son of the Pirate King Roger.

If I knew, I would definitely be interested.

Yoru looked at Luffy and smiled, "I have a lot of things to do, so I won't get involved in your business. You can come and play with me later, if I have time."

"But since you want to be a pirate, shouldn't you work hard to train? Otherwise, if you're killed by other pirates as soon as you set sail, you'll never become the Pirate King."

Do you know what pirates are like?

Ye Yu asked.

Luffy thought for a moment and said, "I know. Just like Shanks and the others, they have many crew members and can have parties on the ship all day long, drinking and eating meat, and they can also play on the sea."

This is Luffy's impression of pirates at this point.

Makino thought about the same thing. Of course, she knew that not all pirates were like Shanks, but the pirates she had met were not bad.

That's normal. Even the most wicked pirates wouldn't dare approach Windmill Village. Windmill Village is Garp's hometown. Only a wicked pirate would be crazy to come here.

That's why Makino has never seen any overly ferocious pirates.

Yoru looked at Luffy seriously and said, "Maybe there are pirates like Shanks, but most pirates aren't like Shanks."

"Pirates, pirates, since they all have the word 'thief' in their names, it naturally means that they have done many vicious things. Most pirates make a living by robbing at sea."

"After all, pirates don't engage in production, so where do they get their money and supplies from?"

"Of course, they come from robbing others. Many pirates have very high bounties because they have killed and robbed many people, causing many families to be destroyed and their lives ruined. That's what pirates are."

"But if you're going to be a pirate in the future, just don't be that kind of pirate. There are many pirates who don't do bad things and simply travel the world. Those people have another name for them: adventurers."

Luffy listened to Yoru's words but didn't understand them at all; there were even many words he didn't understand the meaning of.

But Luffy understood the gist of it: pirates are no good.

Luffy frowned. "But Shanks and the others wouldn't do that."

Ye Yu laughed and said, "I didn't say they were that kind of people. Didn't I say that there are also people called adventurers among pirates? And great pirates like Shanks already have their own stable territory. They can obtain funds and resources by collecting taxes and paying tributes. They don't need to rob and kill people everywhere like other pirates."

Luffy nodded, still a little confused. "After hearing what you said, I don't even want to be a pirate anymore."

At this point, Shanks had not yet lost an arm to the Lord of the Coast while saving Luffy, so Luffy's desire to become a pirate was not yet that strong.

There's a real chance he'll be persuaded to back down by Ye Yu.

However, Yoru didn't care about any of that. He didn't care what Luffy would do in the future. After all, since Yoru came to this world, this world was reality to him, and the protagonist of this world was no different from an ordinary person.

Of course, there are some differences, namely that Luffy established a connection with him as soon as he appeared in this world.

Perhaps this is fate's arrangement.

Yoru didn't have any special feelings for Luffy, after all, they had only known each other for a few days.

Ye Yu isn't really a child; he has the mind of an adult.

What path Luffy chooses in the future is not important to him.

Just don't cause him any trouble.

Makino was somewhat surprised. Luffy used to constantly clamor to become a pirate, and he even got beaten up by Garp several times for it.

Garp always tried to reason with Luffy using his fists, but Luffy never listened. The more Garp hit him, the more rebellious he became, and the more he wanted to be a pirate.

Actually, Luffy doesn't have a precise concept of what pirates are yet.

He thought pirates would be like Shanks, traveling around and eating lavishly every day.

While the Red-Haired Pirates do indeed lead such a life, other pirate crews are not as leisurely and trouble-free as the Red-Haired Pirates.

Most pirates are vicious criminals who, for the sake of profit, usually use the most direct and brutal methods to seize, plunder, burn, and kill.

Most pirates have no moral bottom line.

Moreover, this world is much more barbaric than the Naruto world. Although the government institutions in this world seem to be much more advanced than those in the Naruto world, the order in the Naruto world is much more stable than that in the One Piece world.

Even powerful ninjas mostly have to abide by the rules.

However, the world of One Piece is different. Not only are there pirates everywhere, but even in a country that can perform its normal functions, might makes right.
