Naruto: Releasing Chakra Limits at the Start

Chapter 383 Yoru and Luffy's Promise

But this world is a pirate world, so it would be ridiculous if the main characters weren't pirates.

So Yoru said, "Are you giving up on being a pirate so easily? Although some pirates are indeed very sinful, can't you just be a pirate like Shanks?"

Yoru still doesn't want Luffy's future path to change.

Luffy no longer wants to be a pirate; he just wants to go to sea with Yoru to see the strange things in the world and go on adventures.

So Luffy shook his head and said, "No, I'm not going to be a pirate anymore. I want to be an adventurer. I want to go to sea with you."

Ye Yu's lips twitched slightly.

"Actually, you can also go on adventures as a pirate. A great pirate like Shanks would definitely travel the whole world."

Luffy just shook his head and said, "I don't want to. I want to be an adventurer."

Makino looked at Yoru with a gratified expression. She remembered that Garp had tried to persuade Luffy for so long, but Luffy hadn't changed his mind about becoming a pirate. She never expected that Yoru could do it.

Makino naturally has no fondness for pirates now.

Seeing Luffy's stubborn expression, Yoru regretted it a little. Why did he have to say something?

Yoru smiled wryly, "Actually, you could be a marine. Marines can travel the world too."

"And with your grandfather's connections, traveling the world is very easy."

But Luffy still didn't change his mind, looking at Yoru with a serious expression.

Helpless, Ye Yu could only say, "Then let's decide when you're older. I think you're just having a good time right now. Once you've thought it through, you'll know what to choose."

Yoru didn't really want Luffy to follow him; he knew very well how troublesome the guy was.

Luffy replied earnestly, "I will train hard so that I can protect you when we set sail together in the future."

Ye Yu was speechless. "You're younger than me, how are you going to protect me?"

Luffy smiled and said, "But I'm much stronger than you. I'll become even stronger in the future, and I'll knock away any pirates who try to stop our adventure."

Luffy is very serious.

He's serious.

Ye Yu shook his head. "How about we make a deal?"

Luffy asked, "What agreement?"

Ye Yu laughed and said, "We'll make a ten-year deadline. We'll both work hard to cultivate within ten years. If you can defeat me after ten years, I'll agree to go to sea with you and you'll be the captain."

"If you lose to me in ten years, you will not be able to board my ship and you will have to build your own fleet."

Luffy nodded seriously. "Alright, let's set a ten-year timeframe."

Luffy never thought he would lose.

After all, Yoru is still just an ordinary person at the moment, and Luffy doesn't know that Yoru now has the strength to have a bounty of over 100 million.

As long as he doesn't encounter a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, he can handle pirates with a bounty of less than 100 million Berries, at least he won't be as passive as when he faced bandits before.

However, Yoru naturally wouldn't show this in front of Luffy.

Yoru didn't want Luffy to go to sea with him. It wasn't that Yoru disliked Luffy, but rather that Luffy's identity was special, and going to sea with him would only cause him trouble. Although he could disregard it, Yoru still wanted to peacefully appreciate the world.

After finishing their meal, Luffy originally wanted to sleep at the tavern, but Yoru and Makino took him home.

This made Luffy very unhappy.

However, this guy forgets everything very quickly. Ye Yu had just taken him home when he fell asleep in bed not long after.

My sleep quality is unbelievably good.

For the next few days, instead of going to the Isshin Dojo to learn swordsmanship, Yoru worked at Makino's tavern.

Yoru learned very quickly and soon mastered bartending, even creating some new drinks.

This greatly improved the business of Makino's tavern.

The villagers of Windmill Village also became familiar with Ye Yu.

They had all gotten used to Ye Yu's presence.

Luffy has been coming to the tavern every day these days, helping Yoru with his tasks when things get busy. At first, he was a bit clumsy, but Yoru patiently taught him some simple things, and now Luffy can help out.

When he wasn't busy, Luffy would pester Yoru to tell him stories about the sea.

Actually, Ye Yu didn't know either, but he had read many novels and watched many movies and TV series about pirates in the Naruto world and in his previous life.

So Yoru made up many stories based on his vague impressions of this world.

Although they were all made up, Luffy always listened with great interest. Even when Makino wasn't busy, she would sit and listen, even though she knew some parts sounded a bit off, the stories were indeed very captivating.

Of course, Yoru only told Makino and Luffy, and didn't tell anyone else.

After working at the tavern for a few days, it was time for Yoru to go to the Isshin Dojo to study.

Early in the morning, Ye Yu set off by boat for Shimotsuki Village.

When the tavern opened for business, Luffy shouted as soon as he entered, "Yoyu, you're late today."

She ran into the empty tavern, where only Makino was.

Luffy sat down at the bar and asked in confusion, "Makino-neechan, where's Yoru?"

While preparing various wine glasses, Makino said, "Today is the day for Yoru to practice swordsmanship. He went to Shimotsuki Village this morning."

Luffy was taken aback. "Yoha went to Shimotsuki Village?"

Makino nodded, handed Luffy a glass of milk, and said, "You can go have fun on your own these next two days. Yoru will be learning swordsmanship in Shimotsuki Village today and tomorrow."

Luffy looked a little disappointed. "I don't know what to play."

Lying on the bar counter, Luffy felt an emptiness in his heart for the first time.

Luffy is still young, and he treats Yoru as an older brother. Few people have spent so much time with him, and so patiently at that.

So he has now become dependent on Ye Yu.

As Makino prepared, she smiled and said, "Go play with Ace, don't you like him a lot?"

Luffy was stunned for a moment; he had completely forgotten about Ace.

“Yes, I haven’t gone to see Ace for many days. I’m going to go see him now. Sister Makino, let me know when Yoru comes back.”

Makino laughed and said, "I know, be careful."

Watching Luffy run off, Makino smiled as she looked at his retreating figure. It seemed that Yoru's arrival had changed her life considerably, or rather, given her a sense of home.

After spending this time together, Makino has come to regard Yoru as her younger brother. If he's not around, Makino, like Luffy, always feels like something is missing.

After Luffy ran out, he went up the mountain.

When they arrived at the bandit Dadan's lair, they saw Ace sparring with several bandits.

When Garp asked Dadan to take care of Ace, Dadan initially found it troublesome, but now she treats Ace like her own child, so she teaches him some fighting techniques.
