Chapter 397 The Sword Forged by Night Feather
Yoru not only listened to Shimotsuki Kozaburo talk about things overseas, but also learned about sword making from him.
He wanted to forge his own sharp knife.
For two whole days, Ye Yu stayed in the sword shop.
In two days, Ye Yu also learned how to forge a sharp blade.
His learning ability is incredibly fast and precise.
Even if he doesn't want to study on his own, his mind will still think on its own.
As soon as he hears the principle, he immediately analyzes how to proceed.
For the next few months, Yoru continued to visit Shimotsuki Village as usual.
However, he rarely went to the Isshin Dojo to practice swordsmanship.
In just a few months, Yoru had mastered the intertwining of Ryuo and Conqueror's Haki, and his Observation Haki had reached the point of being able to foresee the future.
Now, Ye Yu's swordsmanship has become unimaginably powerful.
Ye Yu was speechless. He had originally wanted to slowly grow stronger in this world and climb to the top step by step.
But his ability to instantly master anything he learns is simply too outrageous.
With his combat awareness from his previous life, Ye Yu would probably be able to hold his own even against a general.
Of course, Ye Yu didn't know the strength of the world's generals, but he felt that a general should be able to easily destroy a country.
Now, Ye Yu estimated that his strength was roughly at this level.
Although not yet at the pinnacle of this world, it already belongs to the group near the pinnacle.
This is Yoru's estimation of his own strength based on the strong individuals mentioned by Shimotsuki Kozaburo.
In reality, Shimotsuki Kozaburo was unaware of Yoru's current strength. He thought Yoru had only just mastered dual-color Haki and could wield sword energy, thus reaching the level of a sword master.
Of course, a swordsman is already very strong, especially considering that Ye Yu is only ten years old.
However, Ye Yu's strength is clearly far superior to that of a swordsman; even the title of "great swordsman" is insufficient to describe it.
In addition, Shimotsuki Kozaburo would embellish the descriptions of those powerful figures overseas, so in Yoru's mind, the Four Emperors and the Three Admirals were extremely powerful, and his own current strength had just reached the level of an Admiral.
But if the three generals really knew Ye Yu's current strength, they would probably think Ye Yu was talking nonsense. Where would they get the power to destroy a country with one punch?
The country Yoru was referring to was not an island nation from the pirate world, but a land-based nation.
A landlocked country typically has an area of several hundred kilometers or more.
When Yoru was in the Naruto world, he could easily do it.
In this world, Yoru can only barely manage to do it.
Therefore, he felt that his strength was about the same as that of a general.
When Shimotsuki Kozaburo said that the generals and the four emperors could destroy a country, he was referring to an island nation, not a land-based one.
In the world of One Piece, most countries are island nations.
However, Ye Yu didn't care about these things. He knew very well that he was now strong enough to protect himself.
Therefore, the issue of strength was no longer a concern.
He has no intention of going to sea now; he knows very well what his purpose in coming to this world is.
If it were simply for the sake of power, he wouldn't have chosen to take such a huge risk to travel to other worlds.
It was time to go to Shimotsuki Village to study again. As usual, Yoru went straight to the sword shop after arriving at Shimotsuki Village.
At that moment, Shimotsuki Kozaburo was looking at a long sword that was glowing red-hot in the furnace.
He only came to his senses after Ye Yu came in.
When Shimotsuki Kozaburo saw Yoru arrive, he laughed and said, "Come here quickly, you've forged a terrifying sword."
Ye Yu paused for a moment, then walked up to the forging furnace and looked at the long sword burning red-hot inside.
The furnace was extremely hot, yet the knife showed no signs of melting at all.
Moreover, the red-hot surface shimmered with light.
The sword even trembled slightly as Ye Yu approached.
Looking at the knife in the furnace, Ye Yu smiled and said, "Is it finished forging? After all, it has been forging for more than ten days, so it should be finished by now."
Shimotsuki Kozaburo exclaimed, "This sword was forged with your domineering spirit and blood infused into it; it has been forged into a sentient being."
"This is definitely a cursed sword."
Ye Yu nodded; he had sensed it too.
The demon sword Shimotsuki Kozaburo is no stranger to him.
Because he had also forged great swords like Wado Ichimonji and Enma, which were of the highest grade. Enma was a demon sword that could automatically absorb the user's Haki.
However, judging from Shimotsuki Kozaburo's perspective, this sword, once it appeared, would likely be at the level of a Supreme Grade Sword without needing to be nurtured with Haki.
Most of the Supreme Grade Swords are black swords, because those who can wield a Supreme Grade Sword are all among the world's top experts.
Looking at the sword flashing red and black lightning in the furnace, Shimotsuki Kozaburo swallowed hard. "It's only been forged a short time, yet it already exhibits the characteristics of a black sword. I can't imagine what kind of powerful person could wield this sword."
Shimotsuki Kozaburo looked at Yoru and said, "People choose swords, but swords also choose people. This sword is definitely an incredibly terrifying demonic sword. If you don't handle it well, the person wielding it may die a violent death. Don't you want to think carefully about whether you want to take control of this sword?"
Shimotsuki Kozaburo was genuinely offering this advice.
This sword is far more eerie than the two great swords forged by Shimotsuki Kozaburo. Even before it was born, it was already imbued with Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki. Moreover, it trembles automatically without any input of power. This sword is far too eerie and powerful.
He could sense the vast difference between this sword and other Great Grade Swords, or even Supreme Grade Swords, simply from the sharp aura emanating from it.
Ye Yu stood in front of the furnace, looking at the sword inside, and calmly said, "This is the first sword I forged, and perhaps the last. I will not give up."
After looking at Yoru for a while, Shimotsuki Kozaburo sighed and said, "That's right. Only someone with your kind of spirit could possibly wield this demon sword."
"Aren't you going to give this knife a name?"
Ye Yu looked at the sword wreathed in black and red lightning in the furnace and laughed, "Let's call it Crossing the Boundary."
The name made Shimotsuki Kozaburo pause for a moment.
He had absolutely no idea why Ye Yu would choose such a name.
Why was this name chosen?
Ye Yu casually replied, "It's nothing, I just picked it up on the spot."
Shimotsuki Kozaburo was somewhat speechless.
"This is a renowned sword that could potentially reach the level of a Supreme Grade Sword. How can it be treated so casually?"
Yoru explained, "No matter how good the name, it's still just a sword. If its master is not good enough, even a Supreme Grade Sword will become an ordinary sword."
In this world, swords can indeed be nurtured with Haki. Even a sword that is only a Grade Sword can be nurtured by Haki into a Grade Sword, and it is even possible to upgrade it into a Supreme Grade Sword.
Ultimately, the strength and reputation of a knife depend on the person using it.
