Chapter 408 His Conqueror's Haki is stronger than Roger's.
After leaving Windmill Village, the Red-Haired Pirates headed to Shimotsuki Village.
Shanks is going to find Shimotsuki Koshiro to ask about Yohane.
They found Shimotsuki Koshiro, and Shanks was sitting with him on a cliff, with a bottle of sake next to them.
Shanks continued drinking nonchalantly, laughing, "I heard that Nightfeather from Windmill Village is learning swordsmanship from you?"
Shimotsuki Koshiro looked at Shanks and said, "Do you want to ask about his information?"
Shanks smiled but said nothing.
Shimotsuki Koshiro thought for a moment and said, "I only taught him how to release sword energy; I'm not very clear about the rest."
Shanks smiled. "As expected, I guessed right. He can unleash sword energy; he's at the level of a swordsman."
"What's the deal with his knife? Did he really forge it himself?"
Shimotsuki Koshiro nodded. "That's right."
Shanks looked at Shimotsuki Koshiro and said, "Do you know the level of that sword?"
Shimotsuki Koshiro sighed, "Is it at the level of a Supreme Grade Sword?"
Shanks must have seen Yoru's sword; there was no way he could hide it anymore.
Upon hearing Shimotsuki Koshiro's words, Shanks remarked, "It's truly unbelievable that such a young child could forge a Supreme Grade Sword. Many swordsmiths would be ashamed of their own abilities."
"Moreover, someone who can forge a Supreme Grade Sword, and that sword is a demon sword, must be more than just a Sword Master."
Shimotsuki Koshiro shook his head. "I'm not really sure. I think he's at the level of a swordsman, but as for a higher level, I don't think he can reach it."
"He does have a talent for forging swords and is quite talented in swordsmanship, but he has only been learning for a few months. It is already very terrifying that he has reached the level of a sword master."
Shanks glanced at Shimotsuki Koshiro and smiled, "It seems you value this disciple highly."
He said something inexplicable, but Shimotsuki Koshiro understood Shanks' implied meaning.
Shimotsuki Koshiro said calmly, "You should know that he is only ten years old."
Shanks smiled. "Of course I know he's only ten years old, but he's different from other ten-year-olds."
"That knife is beyond the control of an ordinary ten-year-old child; it is a knife that is even more terrifying than a demon sword."
Looking at the rising sun in the distance, Shimotsuki Koshiro calmly said, "That's his sword. If he can't even control the sword he forged, how can he be said to have a high level of sword-forging skill?"
Shanks laughed heartily, "It seems that Ye Yu's strength is much greater than I expected. Otherwise, your master wouldn't be hiding it like this. You're not acting like your usual self at all."
"Is he a swordsman, or...?"
Shanks didn't say what he was going to say next.
But Shimotsuki Koshiro shook his head. "Do you think it's possible?"
"Of course it's possible. With the ability to master the intertwining of Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, I don't think his strength is merely that of a swordsman."
Shimotsuki Koshiro frowned; in reality, he didn't know the extent of Yoru's strength either.
However, he did not want Yoru's strength to be completely exposed to Shanks.
He knew that his father must know, but he never asked because he was worried that he wouldn't be able to keep the secret if he found out. So he simply didn't ask and remained unaware.
Even Shanks, someone he trusted, didn't want Ye Yu's true strength to be revealed to him.
Seeing Shimotsuki Koushirou's expression, Shanks smiled and said, "Haha, Koushirou, it seems your father knows more than you do. I'm becoming more and more curious about Yoru."
"You don't know, I saw him last night, and something happened, something very strange."
Shimotsuki Koshiro's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Shanks, saying, "You attacked him?"
Koushirou clenched his hands tightly. If Shanks really did that, he would be completely disappointed in Shanks.
Seeing Shimotsuki Koshiro's nervous appearance, Shanks laughed and said, "Don't be so nervous. I'm not someone who doesn't know what's good for me. I wouldn't go so far as to attack a ten-year-old child."
Even if he is not an ordinary ten-year-old child.
"Did you know? That guy has the potential to become the Pirate King."
Shimotsuki Koshiro frowned slightly but remained silent.
He knew that Yoru didn't want to be a pirate.
Shanks continued, "I know he doesn't want to be a pirate, but I hope he can. You should know that this sea has been in chaos for too long, and someone should end the chaos."
Shimotsuki Koshiro was silent for a moment before saying, "If he really wants to, I will support him, but if he doesn't want to, I will still support him."
"I won't help you persuade him to become a pirate."
Shanks shrugged. "I did have that thought before, but after talking to you for so long, I know you can't persuade him for me."
"Moreover, given the strength of his Conqueror's Haki, even if you try to persuade him, I'm afraid he won't compromise."
Shimotsuki Koshiro thought for a moment and asked, "You seem to know a lot about his Conqueror's Haki. What's going on?"
Shanks sighed, looked at the horizon, and slowly said, "A few months ago, when Nightfeather first arrived in Windmill Village, something happened that put him in a life-or-death situation."
"At that moment, he awakened Conqueror's Haki. Everyone in Windmill Village, a few kilometers away from him, fainted. In our entire pirate crew, apart from me, no one was awake."
"Even I almost fainted."
Shanks still vividly remembers the terrifying pressure he felt when Yoru awakened his Conqueror's Haki. He could hardly forget the feeling of being suppressed, suppressed from the very depths of his soul.
At that moment, he felt as if he were merely a servant prostrate at the feet of a towering king, not daring to raise his head.
Shimotsuki Koshiro was also stunned after hearing Shanks' description.
He knew that Yoru possessed Conqueror's Haki, but he never imagined that Yoru's Conqueror's Haki could be so strong that it could knock down everyone in the Red-Haired Pirates, and even Shanks was almost knocked unconscious. He had never seen this kind of Conqueror's Haki before.
I've never heard his father mention it either.
Just how powerful is Yoru's Conqueror's Haki?
Shanks sighed. "You know, I was once a member of the Pirate King Roger's crew. I'm sure that Pirate King Roger's Conqueror's Haki was definitely not as strong or as terrifying as Yoru's."
"His Conqueror's Haki not only affects reality, but also has extremely terrifying destructive power. The few bandits who went to chase him were blasted into dust the moment he unleashed his Conqueror's Haki. You should know very well that no one's Conqueror's Haki is that terrifying."
"His abilities are even greater than Captain Roger's; perhaps he has the power to end the chaos at sea."
“But I don’t want him to waste his talent and potential in the windmill village.”
