Naruto: Fire-Release system

Chapter 238: Skin Transformation—Three Heads and Six Arms!

Despite her seductive appearance, this woman was cold-blooded and ruthless.

She enjoyed torturing her enemies and was infamous for her cruelty.

Among the Flying Pirates, her brutality was second to none.

She was Captain of the 12th Fleet, known as the "Cruel Queen" Cristos, a Paramecia-type Net-Net Fruit user, with a bounty of 1.15 billion Berries!

"Gyahahaha!"

"Who's going to capture our so-called Fifth Emperor?"

As the arguments continued, Golden Lion Shiki finally spoke up, his tone filled with amusement.

It was clear that he had become interested in Uchiha Yi.

The Flying Pirates were not as strong as they once were.

Ever since he had lost his legs and suffered his injuries, many of his old followers had abandoned him.

Now, seeing a rising star like Uchiha Yi, he considered recruiting him into his forces.

As for the title "Fifth Emperor"?

He didn't take it seriously at all.

If he wanted, he could claim that title for himself anytime.

"I'll go."

"I want to see if he really deserves that Fifth Emperor title."

Cristos was the first to respond.

"Alright."

"You'll handle this mission."

Golden Lion agreed immediately, not doubting her abilities.

He believed that Uchiha Yi's reputation was exaggerated, most likely because Aokiji had suffered a surprise loss and the Marines were artificially inflating his fame.

Sending Cristos to deal with him should be more than enough.

"Yes!"

Cristos accepted the mission enthusiastically, while the others looked disappointed that they hadn't been chosen.

Five days later, Uchiha Yi stood alone with Aokiji, waiting at the agreed-upon location.

Nojiko and the others remained hidden with their ship in a nearby sea area.

"I'd suggest you run while you still can."

"Stay any longer, and you might not get another chance."

Aokiji lazily warned him, showing zero signs of being a captive.

"That's none of your concern."

Uchiha Yi replied calmly, knowing exactly what he meant.

The Marines and the World Government wouldn't let this trade go smoothly.

They would send multiple high-level fighters to ensure Uchiha Yi didn't leave alive.

"...Sigh."

Seeing that his advice was ignored, Aokiji let out a deep sigh and fell silent.

Before long, a Marine battleship appeared on the horizon.

Before the ship even arrived, several small figures used Moonwalk to soar through the air toward them.

"You've got guts, kid."

A voice echoed from one of the approaching figures.

The speaker was a man in a white suit and a ghostly mask.

Uchiha Yi didn't recognize him, but based on his attire, he was likely a CP0 agent.

According to what he knew, CP0 operatives were rumored to be as strong as Marine Admirals.

And now, three of them had arrived.

Alongside them was the infamous Marine Admiral Kizaru—the laziest but most unpredictable of the three Admirals.

"Where are the Devil Fruits?"

Uchiha Yi ignored the chatter and got straight to the point.

"You think you'll be able to leave with them?"

The masked CP0 agent sneered but still followed through with the transaction.

He took out a bag containing the Devil Fruits and tossed it toward Uchiha Yi.

Aokiji was still in their hands, so the exchange had to happen.

Besides, they were confident Uchiha Yi wouldn't escape.

Uchiha Yi caught the bag, opened it, and saw ten Devil Fruits inside.

Without hesitation, he activated [Picture Manifestation] and stored them inside his body.

"Huh?"

"What kind of ability is that?"

The CP0 agent watched as Uchiha Yi absorbed the fruits into himself, his curiosity piqued.

"Looks like some kind of Bag-Bag Fruit power."

"But he's also shown wind powers, rain powers, fire powers…"

"It's impossible to tell what his Devil Fruit actually is."

Another CP0 agent answered, though he was just as clueless.

"Forget it."

"If we capture him, we'll find out soon enough."

The lead CP0 agent stopped guessing and turned his attention back to the exchange.

Uchiha Yi, unconcerned, shoved Aokiji forward.

"Very good."

"To be honest, I've never seen a pirate this arrogant before."

"Even when facing four Admiral-level fighters—no, five now—"

"You don't even flinch."

"But now… it's time for you to pay for your arrogance."

As he spoke, the three CP0 agents and Kizaru spread out, surrounding Uchiha Yi.

Aokiji, now free, sighed but still joined the battle.

"Hahaha!"

"Then come on!"

Instead of feeling fear, Uchiha Yi felt a surge of excitement.

As his Conqueror's Haki erupted, an invisible wave of pressure swept across the battlefield.

Even the CP0 agents, Kizaru, and Aokiji felt a momentary weight pressing down on them, a brief suffocating sensation.

But they quickly adjusted.

"Go!"

With that command, the battle exploded into action.

Kizaru's laser beam was the first to reach Uchiha Yi.

Thanks to Observation Haki, Uchiha Yi tilted his head slightly, dodging it effortlessly.

But at the same time—

The other four attackers launched their own attacks, perfectly coordinated, cutting off all of his escape routes.

But Uchiha Yi was prepared.

Activating his [Skin] ability, he underwent a physical transformation—

Like donning an extra layer of armor, his entire body altered itself.

He now had—

Three heads.

Six arms.

A truly inhuman, god-like form.

"Oh my, how terrifying."

Kizaru put on his usual exaggerated expression.

"Kovainai~"

"I don't think we can beat this guy."

"How about we just retreat?"

He joked, though there was a hint of genuine unease in his tone.

Aokiji frowned, scratching his head.

"What a strange Devil Fruit power…"

"Every time I see it, it feels like it changes completely."

"Is there really a Devil Fruit that's this versatile?"
