The island of Yano Kuni. The hometown of Shiki, and the place where 2 year old Saran first witnessed Haki. A remarkable incident during these two years that Saran stayed on the island occurred on his 2nd birthday, a few months after he had become proficient in walking.
Yano was known for having lots of fishing.
It was on the small boat that Shiki, with Saran sitting side by him, was coming back in with lots of food, when a large tiger, attacked the barrels of fish that Shiki had gathered?!
“Grrr. Oh no ye damn varmints?!” Shiki easily struck and knocked out the tiger but unbeknownst to him, behind his back another tiger was stalking the goods they’d fished for all afternoon!?
Saran’s tears welled up as he got up to face the male tigers maw.
“WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?” The male tiger 🐅, was slightly taken aback by the sudden sound, as Saran pulled the tigers whiskers as hard as possible, thus giving Shiki an extra second to turn around and knock the varmint unconscious. BAM!
“Phew. That… was a close one Sonny boy.” He patted Saran on the head.
“I wanna be.. a pirate like you dada.” Shiki stared at the innocent toddler.
“No ye don’t. Silly boy. And for the last time, IM NOT YOUR DADDY!” Shiki exclaimed this in a very extreme manner, clearly a bit offended of having bad memories coming back. He then noticed it. In Saran’s hands. The whiskers?!
“H-how did ye rip off that varnints lil old whiskers?!” Shiki looked slightly incredulous to the situation.
From this first incident onward, many strange things happened regarding Saran’s stay in Yano, but that’s a story for another time…
