Chapter 402 Shanks is wounded by a knife.
Sitting at the bar, Yoru looked at Makino, who was smiling at her, and said, "Makino-neechan, I'm a little hungry."
Makino smiled and said, "I've already prepared your favorite dish. I'll go get it for you."
After saying that, Makino left.
Makino now considers Yoru her younger brother.
Unlike Luffy, who is a regular here and is Garp's grandson, Makino treats him like a younger brother.
However, Makino considers Yoru a member of her family, and she is indeed Yoru's current guardian.
After Makino left, Luffy reached out to take a look at Yoru's sword.
Ye Yu quickly stopped him.
"Don't move, this knife is a bit dangerous."
Luffy puffed out his cheeks, displeased. "What? Stingy."
Ye Yu smiled and explained, "This knife is a bit special; you'll get hurt if you touch it."
Luffy, of course, couldn't believe, "How could there possibly be such a sword?"
Ye Yu didn't know how to explain too much, and simply said, "Just don't touch it casually, otherwise it won't be good if something happens."
Ye Yu wasn't exaggerating; it was simply the truth.
The reason Ye Yu was able to wield this sword is because it is ingrained in his blood, and Ye Yu's current domineering cultivation level is very high.
However, Luffy doesn't possess Haki, and this sword will devour the Haki of any master it doesn't acknowledge.
Moreover, this knife can instantly devour the domineering aura of a top-tier master.
If it lacks domineering aura, it would be even more terrifying, as it would devour life force.
Luffy still didn't believe it, and Yoru also put his Yuan Blade back into his waistband.
But Luffy is the kind of person who wants to do things more the more he's told not to.
His eyes remained fixed on the Yuan Blade at Ye Yu's waist.
This knife really intrigued him.
Shanks, sitting next to Yoru, naturally noticed that Yuan Ren was extraordinary.
At this moment, he raised the brim of his hat, looked at Ye Yu, and smiled, "I heard from Makino that you went to the next village to learn swordsmanship?"
Ye Yu nodded. "Yes, Shimotsuki Village has two very good teachers there."
Because Yoru and Shanks weren't familiar with each other, their conversation was mostly just a question-and-answer session with little small talk.
Shanks naturally knew about Shimotsuki Village, and he even knew about Shimotsuki Koushirou.
Shimotsuki Koushirou already had connections with the Revolutionary Army, so Shanks naturally knew of his existence.
Not to mention that Shimotsuki Koshiro or Shimotsuki Kosaburo are descendants of the Shimotsuki family of Wano Country. It would be abnormal if Shanks didn't know that.
Shanks looked at Yoru, sized him up, and said, "You seem to be doing quite well."
Ye Yu smiled and said, "It's alright."
Shanks continued, "Where did you get this sword? Did Shimotsuki Koshiro give it to you?"
"I forged this myself. I learned sword-forging techniques from Grandpa Kozaburo for a period of time. This is a sword I forged for myself."
Shanks frowned.
He clearly didn't believe it.
Shanks could sense the terrifying aura emanating from the Yuan Blade, an aura that no ordinary sword could possibly emit.
Even a sharp knife couldn't exude such a strong aura of sharpness.
How could this possibly be forged by a child who has only learned knife-forging techniques for a few months?
Do you think I would believe that?
Shanks looked into Yoru's eyes.
Ye Yu didn't care and smiled, "Whether you believe me or not, I have no way to prove it. I can only say that I have no reason to lie."
Shanks' gaze narrowed slightly.
After thinking for a while, Shanks agreed with Yoru's words, but he still couldn't believe it.
Ye Yu had only just learned how to forge swords, yet he was able to forge such a blade, one that Ye Yu could feel its sharpness.
"May I take a look?" Shanks asked.
Ye Yu shook his head. "This knife is a bit strange."
Shanks, eager to see more, said, "I believe that no matter how bizarre it is, it can't hurt me."
Shanks is very confident.
Yoru was speechless. He had already said all that, but Shanks still didn't believe him, so there was nothing he could do.
He's not Luffy; he's a very powerful person. He shouldn't be able to be drained dry.
So Ye Yu took out the Yuan Blade and handed it to Shanks.
Shanks took the Yuan Blade, but since it was not drawn, there was nothing special about it.
Shanks gripped the hilt and slowly drew the sword.
"Click"
Just as a small portion of the blade was drawn out, revealing its body, countless black and red lightning bolts of overwhelming power surged forth from all around.
"Boom!"
The lightning was about to destroy the tavern.
Ye Yu's gaze narrowed slightly, and he clenched his fist. Instantly, the domineering lightning around him vanished.
The domineering aura of the Yuan Blade is infused with the domineering aura of Ye Yu, which is why Ye Yu can control it.
Just as the sword was drawn, Shanks suddenly felt his Haki being frantically absorbed by the sword in his hand.
In less than a second, he quickly placed the knife in his hand on the bar.
Shanks was already drenched in sweat and extremely weak.
This scene stunned everyone in the Red-Haired Pirates.
It's important to know that Shanks's Haki is ridiculously strong, even capable of influencing reality.
But he was in such a sorry state; they had both heard the conversation between Yoru and Shanks.
They knew it was all because of the sword, Ye Yu.
Yoru pressed the sword, which had not yet been drawn, back into its sheath.
The sharp edge had just disappeared.
Ye Yu smiled and said, "I told you, this knife is a bit strange."
Shanks was extremely weak, and his consciousness was even somewhat blurred.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. In less than a second, his domineering aura was completely absorbed by a knife.
What kind of knife is this? It's so strange, way too strange.
And most importantly, he just noticed that the blade of this knife was completely black, like ink; it was a black knife, an absolute black knife.
Like Hawkeye's Black Blade Night, it is a black blade.
Shanks raised his head and looked weakly at Yoru, finding it even difficult to speak.
Yoru pushed a piece of ham from Luffy's side towards Shanks, saying, "Let's replenish our energy."
Looking at Shanks's expression, Luffy, who had originally wanted to secretly take the Yuan Blade to play with, now dared not do so at all.
He looked at Yuan Ren with a curious expression.
"So Ye Yu wasn't lying to me after all; this knife is truly terrifying."
Even Shanks is like this, so you can imagine that this sword must be even more powerful than Shanks's. This was Luffy's young thought.
The members of the Red-Haired Pirates in the tavern looked at Shanks, who was frantically gnawing on ham, with worried expressions.
Their captain was completely embarrassed, as this was the first time he had encountered something like this.
Just as Shanks was devouring ham, Makino came out carrying a tray.
These are all foods that Yoru likes to eat.
"Thank you, Sister Makino."
Makino placed the tray in front of Yoru, and Yoru expressed his gratitude as he looked at the steaming food.
Makino smiled as she looked at Yoru, but then she noticed Shanks' unusual behavior and asked with some confusion, "What's wrong with Captain Shanks?"
As Yoru was eating and about to answer, Luffy spoke up first, saying, "Shanks was injured by Yoru's sword."
