Naruto: Fire-Release system

Chapter 237: The Fifth Emperor, Lord of Calamity!

"What kind of Devil Fruit ability does this guy have?"

After hanging up the phone, Fleet Admiral Sengoku quickly regained his composure and began analyzing Uchiha Yi's abilities.

Even so, he still couldn't shake off the shock of Aokiji's defeat.

"We can't figure him out at all."

"It looks like another troublesome figure has emerged in the sea."

Vice Admiral Tsuru put down the intelligence reports detailing everything known about Uchiha Yi, her expression solemn.

Over the years, she had become highly familiar with the vast majority of Devil Fruit powers.

But the abilities that Uchiha Yi displayed were bizarre and unpredictable—

He could manipulate wind, fire, and water, even summon meteors at will.

And yet, none of those were the most terrifying part.

The scariest thing was—

They had no idea what his true capabilities were.

"It's too late."

"If the Marines wanted to stop his rise, that time has already passed."

Sengoku sighed, feeling a rare sense of powerlessness.

There was no doubt—

In the coming days, Uchiha Yi's name would spread across the entire world.

A Marine Admiral had been captured—there was no way to suppress this news.

The World Economy Newspaper, led by that opportunistic Morgans, would never miss the chance to report on a story this big.

The whole world would soon know about it.

"Well, since this has already happened, let's give it an extra push."

Vice Admiral Tsuru tapped her fingers against the table, her eyes gleaming with sharp intelligence as a plan formed in her mind.

"You mean…"

Sengoku looked at her, already understanding her intentions.

"That's right."

"Strength-wise, Uchiha Yi has already proven himself to the world."

"And what do pirates pursue?"

"Wealth, fame, status, power…"

"But despite Uchiha Yi's strength, he lacks the status and recognition to match it."

"So let's give him one."

Vice Admiral Tsuru nodded, then outlined her plan to Sengoku.

The Next Day—The News Spreads Across the Seas!

"Extra! Extra! Extra!"

"Breaking News! Admiral Aokiji Defeated by Rookie Pirate Uchiha Yi!"

"Uchiha Yi's bounty has skyrocketed from 1.8 billion Berries to 15 billion Berries—a tenfold increase!"

"What Devil Fruit power does Uchiha Yi have? Wind, water, fire, meteors… he can summon them all at will!"

"A man like Uchiha Yi… I shall call him the Fifth Emperor, the Master of Calamity!"

"This era will be named the Calamity Era, ruled by Uchiha Yi!!"

---

This revelation caused an uproar across the world.

Within just two days, the name "Lord of Calamity, Uchiha Yi" had spread to every corner of the seas—

From the Four Blues to the Grand Line, and even the New World.

Almost every pirate who read the latest bounty update had a look of pure awe and excitement.

The title of "Fifth Emperor" was a tempting prospect to many.

Even though Uchiha Yi had defeated Aokiji, earning himself a massive bounty increase and the title of Fifth Emperor,

Everyone could see the reality of the situation.

Compared to the Four Emperors, Uchiha Yi lacked the strength and the crew to back up his title.

In other words—

He was the weakest Emperor.

And that meant—

If someone could defeat him, they would be worthy of the title themselves.

With that great reputation, wealth, women, and power would all come to them.

Thus, the entire sea descended into madness!

In a short time, the number of people setting sail to become pirates surged to an all-time high.

New World—A Thousand Meters Above the Sea

In a mysterious area high above the ocean, numerous floating islands were scattered across the sky.

Unlike Skypiea's cloud islands, these islands had no white sea beneath them.

Instead, they seemed to be suspended by an unknown force.

Each island was unique—

Some were made entirely of water, others were pure rock, and some were a mix of various elements, creating a mesmerizing, otherworldly landscape.

At the center of these floating islands lay a massive main island.

It was covered in vast, interconnected buildings, clearly indicating a thriving population.

In the island's main palace courtyard, numerous pirates were gathered, feasting and drinking in a rowdy banquet.

These weren't ordinary pirates.

Each of them was a powerful figure, renowned across the seas.

Their bounties were all measured in the billions.

But suddenly—

The once boisterous atmosphere fell silent.

Every pirate, holding a fresh copy of the latest newspaper, wore grim expressions of anger.

At the head of the gathering, sitting on an imposing throne, was a man radiating absolute dominance—

A man whose very presence exuded overwhelming authority.

This was Golden Lion, Shiki.

A legendary pirate who had once pushed the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, into a crisis,

Who had single-handedly battled Sengoku and Garp, nearly destroying Marineford,

And who had even escaped from the unbreakable prison, Impel Down.

A true conqueror of the seas.

However, his glory days had passed.

Now, without his legs, with a ship's wheel lodged in his head,

His strength had waned considerably.

He was a shadow of his former self.

"Gyahahaha!"

"The Fifth Emperor, Lord of Calamity!"

"This kid is pretty interesting!"

Golden Lion laughed wildly, reading the newspaper while puffing on his cigar.

"Captain! This brat is way too arrogant!"

"He dares to claim this era belongs to him?!"

"That's an insult to you, Captain!"

"Let me go teach him a lesson!"

One of the seated pirates, a one-eyed, bearded man, growled furiously.

He was Spand, Captain of the 15th Fleet, with a bounty of 710 million Berries, and the wielder of the Zoan-type Dog-Dog Fruit, Dachshund Model.

"Hah! He's a Fifth Emperor!"

"Do you really think you're worthy of challenging him?"

A mocking voice responded.

The speaker was a towering, six-meter-tall, muscle-bound beast of a man covered in chest hair.

This was Omit, Captain of the 13th Fleet, bounty 960 million Berries, and wielder of the Ancient Zoan-type Ape-Ape Fruit, Gorilla Model.

His rivalry with Spand was well-known among the crew, and he couldn't resist mocking him.

"Pfft—!"

Just then, a sultry chuckle rang out.

"Chris, what's so funny?!"

Omit glared at the source—

A scantily-clad woman with a seductive smile.

She was Cristos, Captain of the 12th Fleet, a pirate with a bounty exceeding a billion Berries.

"What's funny?"

"I'm laughing at you two."

"You're always bickering like lovers—it's hilarious."

She giggled, her curvaceous body swaying, drawing the attention of the nearby pirates.
