Naruto: Fire-Release system

Chapter 227: Painting Skill – Camera!

"Gallery: Chopper, Materialize!"

Before leaving Drum Island, Uchiha Yi found time to use his [Painting Skill: Camera] ability.

Without Chopper noticing, he secretly took a snapshot of him and stored it in the gallery.

Chopper was the mascot of the Straw Hats—

A pet that everyone adored.

Yi wanted to collect one of his own.

But—

He also knew that Chopper's personality didn't align with his own crew's.

So—

Rather than inviting him onto his ship…

He decided to make his own Chopper.

That was the true power of his Painting Skill: Camera.

A terrifying ability.

---

[Painting Skill: Camera]

A special ability developed by his system.

It was a camera, but for the eyes.

Yi no longer needed to draw manually—

With a single glance, he could capture whatever he saw…

And perfectly recreate it.

Like a camera taking a photograph—

Except, instead of an image…

He could materialize a living copy of the subject.

A one-to-one duplicate.

With all of their abilities, memories, and skills intact.

The more he learned about his Devil Fruit…

The more overpowered it became.

---

"Damn, this is broken… but I love it."

Yi grinned to himself.

His system was truly a god-tier cheat.

---

"[Gallery: Chopper] is currently materializing… please wait!"

"Time remaining: 2 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes."

…

Yi raised an eyebrow.

It needed time to materialize?

That was a first.

All of his other AI creations were instant—

But this time, there was a delay.

Perhaps…

The world itself was resisting.

After all, Chopper already existed.

Trying to create a second one was like trying to cheat fate.

The world's rules were limiting him.

But—

Even so, it was still working.

"Tch. Annoying, but not a big deal."

"I'll just wait."

---

Three days later.

Yi's crew sailed peacefully toward Alabasta.

Along the way—

They encountered a few weak pirates and bounty hunters…

All of whom were instantly annihilated.

None of them were worth remembering.

But finally—

Something interesting happened.

"Eh?"

Nojiko blinked in surprise.

"What is that? A raccoon?"

"How adorable!"

There, hiding behind Yi's legs—

Was a small, trembling figure.

It peeked out cautiously, then ducked back in fear.

This reaction—

Was adorable.

Nojiko instantly fell in love.

She reached out to pet it—

But the creature panicked and hid its face…

Leaving its entire body exposed.

A terrible hiding spot.

"Pfft—!"

Nojiko couldn't stop laughing.

It was so dumb.

"Chopper, it's okay!"

Yi smiled.

"They're our allies."

"Come say hi."

Slowly, the creature peeked out again.

"H-Hello, my name is Tony Tony Chopper!"

"I'm a doctor!"

"Please take care of me!"

"Ohhh!"

Nojiko's eyes sparkled.

"You're so cute!"

"Are you a raccoon?"

Chopper froze.

Then—

"BAKA YAROU!"

"I'm a reindeer! Not a raccoon!"

Nojiko giggled.

"You're the cutest reindeer I've ever seen."

"Hmph! I won't be happy just because a human said that!"

"You idiot!"

But even as Chopper yelled…

His body wiggled happily.

He was clearly flattered.

"Pfft—!"

Nojiko burst into laughter again.

Just like that—

The ship's atmosphere became livelier.

Unlike before, where it was just Yi and Nojiko…

Now, there was someone energetic and fun.

Even if this Chopper was a copy…

It was still a breath of fresh air.

---

Meanwhile—

Alabasta. Rainbase.

The desert kingdom ruled by King Cobra.

And…

The headquarters of Baroque Works.

Here—

One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea awaited.

Crocodile.

A man who held the title of 'hero'…

But hid a sinister plot.

---

Inside a lavish casino…

Crocodile sat on his throne.

A cigar smoked between his lips.

A den den mushi rested on his lap.

"Mr. 0!"

"The No-Name Pirates are strong!"

"I wasn't their match… but I led them to Alabasta."

Robin reported calmly.

A smirk tugged at Crocodile's lips.

"Hmph. Another bunch of arrogant rookies."

"They think a little strength makes them unstoppable?"

"Pathetic."

"The Grand Line will crush them."

He took a deep drag of his cigar.

Then—

He exhaled a cloud of smoke and confidence.

"…Still, they've made things personal."

"And I hate loose ends."

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Mr. 1, Mr. 2, Mr. 3—"

"Take care of them."

"Permanently."

He flicked a stack of bounty posters onto the table.

Among them—

A new bounty.

[UCHIHA YI – 75,000,000 BERRIES]

Crocodile sneered.

"Let's see how strong they really are."

As he thought about his master plan…

His fingers drummed against the desk.

The 'heroes' of Alabasta worshipped him.

The kingdom was falling into his hands.

And soon—

So would Pluton.

The ancient weapon capable of sinking entire islands.

With it—

He would reshape the world.

Even Whitebeard himself wouldn't stand in his way.

This was his destiny.

Or so he thought.
