Naruto: Releasing Chakra Limits at the Start

Chapter 486 Kuina's Three-Colored Haki

Makino didn't care that Yoru's high bounty was such a great achievement, something many pirates couldn't accomplish in their entire lives.

She was only concerned about Ye Yu because such a high bounty would attract many people to challenge him, putting him in mortal danger.

Hearing Makino's complaints, Luffy asked in confusion, "Makino-neechan, Yoru's high bounty is impressive, why do you seem unhappy?"

In Luffy's opinion, although Yoru is not a pirate, the fact that he can get such a high bounty shows that he is very strong and powerful, which is something to be happy about. In fact, ever since Yoru set sail, Luffy has been working hard to train with him as his goal.

Waiting to set sail a year later.

Luffy now regrets not having the nerve to go to sea with Yoru. That way, he could have been wanted alongside Yoru and witnessed firsthand just how powerful the enemies Yoru faced at sea were.

Makino wiped away her tears and said, "What's there to be happy about? With such a high bounty, the Navy is basically trying to kill him. With such a high bounty, many bounty hunters will definitely try to kill him. He's in a very dangerous situation right now. This is not something to be happy about at all. I'm really worried that he won't be able to handle it."

Luffy pondered for a long time before saying, "Sister Makino, I think you're overthinking it. Yoru's bounty has soared to 51 billion Berries in less than a year because he's stronger than everyone else. I don't think there's anyone who can defeat Yoru. Even if there is, that person will definitely be me."

Luffy has always regarded Yoru as someone he wants to surpass.

He used to regard Ye Yu as his challenger, but on the day he set sail, Ye Yu woke him up. Ye Yu's strength was much greater than he had imagined, and he was still far behind Ye Yu.

Therefore, he took Ye Yu as his goal, a goal he was striving to surpass.

He also considered Ye Yu a friend, and he was always happy and proud of Ye Yu's achievements.

Makino looked at Luffy's innocent face and didn't say anything more. It was like talking to a brick wall; he simply couldn't understand.

So Makino didn't want to say anything.

She just looked at the reward notice with a worried expression.

The tavern patrons were excited after hearing about Ye Yu's new bounty, and many of them even admired Ye Yu greatly.

He even regretted not going to sea with Ye Yu when he set sail, otherwise he would be a crew member of a powerful figure with a net worth of 51 billion now.

Many people came to congratulate Makino, but Makino didn't feel there was anything to congratulate her about.

In contrast, in Shimotsuki Village, Kuina, who was practicing swordsmanship, looked somewhat angry after receiving Yoru's new bounty poster from her father.

"What did that bastard do this time?"

Kuina was so angry because Yoru didn't take her with him when he went to sea, and he was also seen flirting with a crew member, which was reported in the Navy's newspaper.

Among Yoru's crew were two or three very beautiful women, especially Michita.

The navy newspaper even specifically pointed out the relationship between the two, using an ambiguous tone, which infuriated Kuina.

He had been cursing Ye Yu for months.

Despite this, she still paid close attention to Ye Yu's situation.

Her father knew what Kuina was thinking, so when Yoru's new bounty was released, he gave it to his daughter.

Sweating profusely, Kuina took Ye Yu's new bounty poster, muttered a few words to Ye Yu, and then carefully read it.

Although she verbally expressed her dissatisfaction with Ye Yu, she was actually very concerned about Ye Yu's affairs.

When she looked closely, she was stunned.

The knife in his hand fell to the ground.

Shimotsuki Koshiro exclaimed, "Yoha's bounty is only lower than that of the Pirate King Roger. He already has the highest bounty among all the people with bounties, even higher than the bounty of Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world."

"I wonder what he did. Defeating the king of a country shouldn't warrant such a high bounty. It's really strange."

Kuina's eyes remained fixed on the bounty poster; she couldn't believe that Ye Yu's bounty was so high.

The 15 billion Berries that Ye Yu had previously given her already seemed unbelievable.

Because Yoru didn't seem to have done much, and he hadn't been at sea for very long, less than a year so far, how come his bounty had already reached 15 billion Berries? This level is close to the bounty of the Four Emperors.

Kuina was already shocked by 15 billion Berries, but now 51 billion Berries is something Kuina never dared to dream of.

Although she felt that Ye Yu was very strong, being strong did not necessarily mean having a high bounty.

Not to mention that Ye Yu really hadn't done anything wrong, so with such a high bounty, Kuina was starting to worry about him.

However, some people were also happy for him.

Yoru didn't do much, yet he has such a high bounty. Does this mean that the Navy set this high bounty mainly because of Yoru's strength?

Doesn't this prove that Ye Yu's strength is already very powerful, and that he has a high chance of succeeding in challenging Hawkeye later?

Although Yoru's goal is not to become the world's greatest swordsman.

However, Yoru had promised Kuina that he would test Hawkeye's strength for her. If Yoru couldn't defeat Hawkeye, Kuina estimated that she would have virtually no chance.

If Yoru defeats Hawkeye and becomes the world's greatest swordsman, then she can directly challenge Yoru.

However, Kuina is now 19 years old and has come of age. But it is precisely because she has come of age that we know her growth rate has slowed down considerably.

Although she can still suppress Zoro now, she knows very well that she is still far from being able to compare with Yoru.

This was because, over the previous ten years, Yoru would often return to Shimotsuki Village to teach her swordsmanship.

Yoru taught Kuina some unique sword techniques, and with those techniques, Kuina's strength improved rapidly. It is precisely because of this that she is now able to suppress Zoro.

Otherwise, if we follow the original story, Kuina would definitely not be a match for Zoro now.

No matter how hard she tries, there's still a physical gap. She's not some kind of gifted monster like that old lady. At her age, she shouldn't still have the strength she has now.

Even at this age, Kuina has mastered both Observation Haki and Armament Haki.

They were both taught by Ye Yu.

Although her father, Koushirou, also knew how to do it, he didn't master it well and couldn't teach Kuina.

Yoru was probably relatively free during the previous ten years, so he had a lot of time to study Kuina, personally designed some training plans for her, created some sword techniques and physical techniques for her, and personally guided her to master Observation Haki and Armament Haki.

In fact, Kuina also possesses Conqueror's Haki, as Yoruha could tell, but Kuina has not yet activated it.
