Naruto: Fire-Release system

Chapter 269: Speculating on Dual-Devil Fruit Powers!

As expected, despite being twisted into an unrecognizable state, Baron Carnival rapidly regenerated right before everyone's eyes.

"Eight-Wheel Flower: Cramp Bind!"

Robin refused to give him another chance and immediately attacked again.

Eight ghostly arms sprouted from Baron Carnival's body, attempting to kill him once more.

But this time, he wasn't alone.

He had Lily Carnation!

Unlike before, the seemingly harmless flower suddenly morphed into a massive, tumorous mass of flesh, covered with distorted human faces—

similar to the "Venom" symbiote's form.

The reason Baron Carnival had eternal youth and immortality was entirely due to his parasitic relationship with Lily Carnation.

Just as Robin's phantom hands tightened their grip, Lily Carnation bared its grotesque fangs and bit into the arms sprouting from Baron Carnival's body.

"Damn!"

Realizing the danger, Robin immediately canceled her Devil Fruit ability.

Her Hana Hana no Mi (Flower-Flower Fruit) had a critical weakness—

The cloned body parts were directly connected to her real body, meaning she would feel pain and suffer injuries if they were harmed.

Had she hesitated for even a second, she would have been gravely wounded.

—

"Hahahaha!"

"Die!"

Baron Carnival laughed maniacally, now fully restored.

With endless resurrection, he even felt confident enough to challenge Uchiha Yi!

This was the source of his arrogance.

"Hungry! Hungry! Hungry!"

The monstrous Lily Carnation let out a series of shrill cries.

At that moment, the massive root structure at the volcano's edge began to tremble—

And in an instant, it split apart into countless black tendrils, transforming into a rain of dark arrows that rained down indiscriminately on the entire island!

These were no ordinary arrows—anything they pierced would instantly wither and die.

Vivi, Nami, and Robin, who had yet to master Armament Haki and Observation Haki, paled in horror.

Fighting unarmed, even with their enhanced abilities, wouldn't be enough—

there was nowhere to escape within the island-wide attack radius!

—

"Looks like it's my turn."

"Domain Prison!"

Before the dark arrows could reach them, Uchiha Yi swiftly drew a massive circle on the ground, forming a protective barrier around Robin and the others.

With his allies secured, Uchiha Yi turned his gaze toward Baron Carnival and Lily Carnation.

"Amaterasu!"

A black flame suddenly ignited on their bodies—

And within moments, the hellfire devoured them entirely!

At full power, Amaterasu was not something Baron Carnival or Lily Carnation could withstand.

They were reduced to ashes in an instant.

A battle that could have been fatal for Robin and the others—

Was ended in mere seconds.

—

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

Despite Baron Carnival's death, the dark arrow rain continued to pelt the protective barrier, creating a deafening cacophony.

The storm of deadly arrows lasted a long time before finally ceasing.

But by then, the entire island had been reduced to a barren wasteland—

Not a single trace of its former paradise-like beauty remained.

—

"Was the entire island's ecosystem… created by that mysterious flower?"

Robin, ever the scholar, was intrigued by the phenomenon.

But with no one left alive to explain, the truth would remain a mystery.

—

"Ahh!"

"I was hoping for a nice vacation!"

"Didn't expect things to turn into such a nightmare!"

With Uchiha Yi present, Vivi had never truly felt afraid—

but she was disappointed that their trip had been ruined.

—

"Waaah!"

"My food is gone!"

Chopper collapsed onto the ground in despair—

The feast he had been looking forward to for so long had been completely wiped out before he even got to taste a bite.

His sorrow was immeasurable.

—

"At least we're all safe!"

Nami, ever the pragmatist, smiled reassuringly.

—

"Still, this battle exposed some major weaknesses in our abilities."

"Our power is too one-dimensional."

"We can handle regular pirates just fine…"

"But against something like this? It felt like all our strength was useless!"

Robin reflected on their shortcomings.

—

"That's true."

"Your biggest weakness right now is versatility."

"Honestly, Baron Carnival wasn't even that strong."

"And yet, none of you could counter him properly."

"Aside from your first surprise attack, Robin, the rest of the battle was completely in his favor."

"If I hadn't stepped in, you wouldn't have stood a chance."

Uchiha Yi pointed out bluntly.

He didn't expect them to become monsters like him, but if they were determined to improve, he wouldn't hesitate to help train them.

—

"Let's set that aside for now."

"This was supposed to be a vacation, but it got ruined again."

Honestly, their arrival at Carnival Island had been a complete accident—

They just happened to visit at the exact moment when Lily Carnation needed to feed.

So, to attract fresh victims, Baron Carnival had announced that the island was open for new arrivals.

His plan, which had worked flawlessly for years, had never failed—until today.

Unfortunately for him, he had lured in someone far beyond his comprehension—

And was utterly annihilated for it.

For outsiders, his death probably seemed "unlucky."

But Uchiha Yi didn't care.

—

More importantly, he had been pondering the idea of dual-Devil Fruit powers for some time.

Originally, he had planned to visit Blackbeard in the New World to study the phenomenon.

But after witnessing Lily Carnation's abilities, he had a new theory.

Could he replicate the same concept for himself?

Lily Carnation and Baron Carnival were essentially one entity—a parasitic fusion.

If one host consumed a Devil Fruit, and the other consumed a second one, then technically…

They would become a dual-Devil Fruit user!

The question was: Would this method actually work?

The only way to find out was through experimentation.

—

Fortunately, Uchiha Yi had already prepared for this.

The moment he had first seen Baron Carnival and Lily Carnation, he had used his "Camera" ability to take a snapshot of them.

The data was stored in his Gallery, meaning he could recreate them anytime.

This island, now a lifeless wasteland, was the perfect place to test his hypothesis.

No distractions. No witnesses. No interruptions.

—

Robin and the others had no objections to staying.

With his Art-Art Fruit ability, Uchiha Yi could create anything they needed.

Food, shelter, supplies—everything was within his control.

Now, it was time to see if dual-Devil Fruit powers were truly possible.
