Naruto: Fire-Release system

Chapter 233: This is Admiral Aokiji!

At the same time as the decision to recruit Uchiha Yi to replace Crocodile as a Warlord of the Sea, the Marine Headquarters also updated his bounty.

Countless News Coo birds spread the news across every corner of the sea.

Within days, the events of Alabasta had spread throughout the world.

East Blue, Shimotsuki Village, Shimotsuki Dojo.

"Big Sis, look!"

"It's big news about Yi-nii!"

A snot-nosed kid rushed into the dojo, waving a newspaper as he shouted excitedly.

"What?!"

The next second, Nami's excited voice came from inside.

With a whoosh, she appeared in front of the kid, snatching the newspaper from his hands in an instant.

As soon as she opened it, her eyes landed on a large image of Uchiha Yi, standing amidst a cataclysmic storm, the background displaying the apocalyptic scene of Picture Library: Red Alert – Torrential Rain.

Below was his updated bounty—180 million Berries!

His previous bounty had more than doubled.

This was clear proof that Marine Headquarters now considered him a major threat.

"Damn it, how could he go on an adventure without me!"

"And he even set up that ridiculous agreement for me to chase after him!"

"The next time we meet, he's going to pay for this!"

Nami wasn't happy to hear about Uchiha Yi's exploits.

Instead, her face was full of frustration and resentment, as if she had suffered some great injustice.

She clenched her fist and punched the nearby wall, shattering it instantly.

The force of the impact was terrifying.

Guina and Zoro, who arrived a moment later, visibly shuddered at the sight.

If that punch had landed on them, they wouldn't have stood a chance.

Nami's strength had become monstrously overwhelming!

At first, they had believed they could catch up to her.

But now, all hope seemed lost.

How could they ever keep up with such a freakish level of strength?

Fortunately, both of them had strong resolve; otherwise, they might have given up in despair.

"You two are way too weak!"

"Let me train you myself!"

With nowhere else to vent her frustration, Nami turned her sights on her two companions, her eyes gleaming with battle intent.

Drum Island.

"Nani?!"

"I… I became a pirate?"

"I have a bounty too?"

"But… why is my bounty so low?!"

While accompanying Dr. Kureha on a medical visit, Chopper accidentally saw a wanted poster of the Nameless Pirate Crew.

To his shock, he discovered that he had somehow been listed as their pet and now had a bounty of 100 Berries!

For a moment, (real) Chopper didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

After all, he had never even set sail before!

Dr. Kureha also noticed the wanted poster.

After a brief pause, she suddenly burst into laughter.

Chopper's self-esteem took a massive hit.

"You idiot son, you better work hard!"

"Make sure that one day, your bounty surpasses that imposter's!"

Dr. Kureha said in her own unique way, encouraging him.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, (real) Chopper's fighting spirit ignited.

Kuraigana Island.

This was the residence of Dracule Mihawk, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

At this moment, Mihawk was reading the newspaper about Crocodile's defeat by a newcomer.

His expression remained completely indifferent.

After a moment, he simply tossed the newspaper aside.

Unless the newcomer was a swordsman, he had no interest in them.

Dressrosa.

On the King's Plateau, Doflamingo finished reading the news, let out a dismissive sneer, and casually threw the paper away.

"Just another failure."

He was sure the World Government would take action soon, so he saw no reason to pay any further attention to it.

Similarly, many of the big figures in the New World saw the news but had no strong reactions.

To them, Crocodile had grown weaker ever since becoming a Warlord.

Uchiha Yi had merely defeated a washed-up Warlord.

He might be strong, but whether he could survive the New World was another question.

So while they acknowledged his rising strength, they didn't consider him worth serious concern.

"This guy really is strong."

The Spade Pirates had just escaped to an unknown sea area, temporarily shaking off the Marines chasing them.

During their brief rest, Ace came across the news of Uchiha Yi's recent exploits.

He couldn't help but feel impressed.

"So it's him!"

Upon seeing Uchiha Yi's bounty surpass Ace's own, Deuce took a deep breath, struggling to hide his shock.

The memories of their previous encounter, when Uchiha Yi had effortlessly defeated Ace, came rushing back.

Even now, after reaching the Grand Line, Uchiha Yi remained just as overwhelming.

"Looks like I'll have to work even harder."

Ace clenched his fists, determination flaring in his eyes.

"Too many women is just a hassle."

Lying on the deck in beach shorts, basking in the sun, Uchiha Yi could hear the constant chatter of three women.

It was honestly annoying.

The atmosphere on the ship had become more lively, but at the same time, he felt completely out of place.

He couldn't join in on their conversations at all.

It felt like he was being excluded.

"Robin, what's wrong?"

As the three women excitedly talked about private matters, Nojiko suddenly noticed Robin had gone completely silent.

Her eyes were locked on something in the distance, filled with fear, and her body was trembling.

Nojiko, concerned, asked her what was wrong.

Robin didn't answer.

As the distant figure approached closer and closer, her anxiety became uncontrollable.

Nojiko didn't press her further.

Instead, she followed Robin's gaze.

In the distance, a lone figure rode toward them—on a bicycle.

They were in the middle of the ocean!

How could someone ride a bicycle on the sea?

As the figure drew near, the answer became clear.

Wherever the bicycle moved, the sea beneath it instantly froze, creating a path of ice for him to travel on.

The entire sight was incredibly bizarre.

"This is Admiral Aokiji!"

Princess Vivi, recognizing the man immediately, gasped in shock.

Could it be that her father, Cobra, had requested an Admiral to come rescue her?

Hearing Vivi's words, Nojiko's expression turned grim.

They were now classified as pirates.

And the relationship between the Navy and pirates was an undeniable fact of the world.

If an Admiral suddenly appeared before them, there was no question what his purpose was.

"You sure are living a relaxed life, little brother."

"I can't help but envy you."

Uchiha Yi had already detected Aokiji's arrival using his Observation Haki.

But he had no intention of stopping him.

He simply allowed Aokiji to board the ship freely and stand before him.
