Chapter 370 First Encounter with Shanks
Chapter 370 First Encounter with Shanks
After Makino left, Luffy pulled Yoru to sit at the bar.
Makino prepared a fried rice, a pork chop, and a glass of orange juice for Yoru.
Luffy's was a large meat leg, the kind of meat from some unknown animal. It didn't look like a cow's leg, a lamb's leg, or even a pig's leg, but it looked very appetizing.
After sitting down at the bar, Luffy picked up a leg of meat with one hand and took a big bite. The sight of the juicy meat on the leg was enough to whet anyone's appetite.
"Yeyu, eat up, Makino's cooking is really delicious."
Ye Yu nodded; he was also very hungry.
Ye Yu's eating manners were very normal, but it was precisely because they were too normal that they seemed abnormal compared to the other customers in the tavern.
From beginning to end, Ye Yu ignored the red-haired gang of thieves in the tavern.
Of course, the main reason is that Ye Yu is not familiar with them, and doesn't even know them.
Apart from Shanks, whom he vaguely remembered, Yoru didn't recognize any of the others.
However, it was precisely because Yoru knew Shanks that he knew that if he didn't provoke him, Shanks would ignore him.
Naturally, Yoru wouldn't go out of his way to provoke Shanks.
So Yoru quietly ate his meal.
While gnawing on a meat leg, Luffy introduced Yoru to him, saying, "Yoru, this is Shanks, a very powerful pirate."
Luffy seemed to have no idea what the word "pirate" meant, and just blurted it out.
However, Yoru didn't have any aversion to the word "pirate".
After all, he came from the Naruto world. Even before he transmigrated to the Naruto world, he had only heard of or seen the word "pirate" in some movies and TV shows.
Naturally, Yoru didn't seem to have any particular feelings about it.
He merely glanced at Shanks and nodded as a greeting.
Shanks watched Yoru eating and found it rather interesting.
Hearing that they were pirates and still remaining so calm, he guessed that Yoru had definitely seen pirates before and was already used to them.
Of course, it's impossible to say that Yoru is some kind of great pirate.
There are no pirates as young as Yoru; if there are, they are from families.
At least Yoru doesn't seem like a pirate at all.
He shared the same idea as Makino.
Shanks sat down next to Luffy, leaning against him, and looked at Yoru with a smile, "Little guy, how did you get here?"
While eating, Ye Yu calmly said, "I forgot too."
Shanks paused for a moment.
He clearly hadn't expected Ye Yu to answer like that.
And he remained so calm even when facing a pirate like him.
He became increasingly interested in Ye Yu.
"Forgot? Fine, forget it. Aren't you scared when you hear we're pirates?"
Ye Yu smiled and said, "Since you can appear here so openly, there is naturally no danger for you."
Shanks nodded. "Interesting. You've got some nerve."
Ye Yu knew that he was being watched by countless eyes, but he didn't care.
Ye Yu said calmly, "If I weren't brave, I wouldn't be alive now."
Shanks didn't know what to say.
Yoru seemed completely unafraid of them.
Did they not recognize them, or did they recognize them but still not care?
However, Shanks did not press further, as he could tell that Yoru had no power at all.
He's probably just an ordinary person with a lot of courage.
However, he still smiled and said, "Yoyu, how about joining me as a pirate?"
Luffy, who was gnawing on a meat leg, stopped and looked at Shanks excitedly. "Shanks, I want to be a pirate too!"
Shanks simply ignored him.
He's too young, and his grandfather is a Marine; he definitely wouldn't try to recruit Luffy onto his ship.
But Ye Yu is someone he admires, and he wouldn't refuse if Ye Yu were willing to board the ship.
Ye Yu just smiled and said, "I think I'll pass. It's not suitable."
After Yoru said that, all the pirates in the tavern burst into laughter, seemingly mocking Shanks, saying, "Hahaha, the boss got rejected, how embarrassing."
The entire tavern erupted in enthusiastic laughter.
Ye Yu didn't mind, after all, he knew that this world was inherently strange.
It's not surprising that all sorts of bizarre things happen.
Shanks also joked, "What a pity, I got rejected."
After saying that, he downed a bottle of wine.
Luffy sidled up to Yoru and said, "Yoru, why didn't you agree just now? Isn't being a pirate good enough?"
Hearing this, even though Ye Yu knew this world was bizarre, he was still speechless at Luffy's strange statement.
"I'm not suitable."
Although it was speechless, that was all Ye Yu could say.
After all, there are so many pirates here, he can't exactly say he wants to be a normal person, can he?
After hearing Yoru's words, Luffy looked at Yoru with a puzzled expression, as if he had thought of something. "So, do you want to join the Marines?"
Ye Yu was stunned.
Why choose to be a Marine instead of a pirate?
It seems that Luffy only has these two professions in his mind.
So after Ye Yu finished speaking, his brain went blank.
After thinking for a long time, he finally said, "So, what do you want to be?"
Ye Yu thought for a moment and said, "You have many choices: be a farmer, a worker, or a painter."
Luffy clearly didn't understand.
However, he did not force Yoru to become a pirate.
Although Luffy wants to be a pirate, he won't force others to do so.
After not understanding Yoru's words, Luffy continued to eat his meat.
Shanks had been keeping an eye on Yoru, and he discovered that Yoru's personality was nothing like that of a child.
Of course, he didn't find it strange, since it's perfectly normal for a young person to be mature beyond their years in this world.
It's just rare, not nonexistent.
Soon, Makino came over and called Ye Yu, "Ye Yu, come here, I found you some clothes, come in and change."
Yoru didn't feel embarrassed and followed Makino into the room.
Makino placed the clothes on the bed and said with a smile, "Do you know how to dress?"
Ye Yu nodded. "I understand, thank you, sister."
Hearing this, Makino smiled. She had never seen a boy like Ye Yu in Windmill Village.
She liked Ye Yu very much.
After Makino left, Yoru changed his clothes.
"It fits perfectly; she seems to have a good eye."
Just by glancing at her, she could tell her own body size. Makino's eyesight is indeed excellent, probably from the experience she has accumulated from sewing clothes so often.
After changing his clothes, Ye Yu had just stepped out of the room when the door was kicked down from the outside.
Ye Yu frowned.
Walk to the bar.
Several burly men carrying long knives walked into the tavern.
Although Ye Yu has lost his power, his sensitivity to power has not diminished much.
He knew very well that this person was quite strong; although not as strong as Shanks and the others, he could easily crush ordinary people like Yoru.
