With the Spirit of Fire, you can activate the Over Soul state. Furyoku will no longer be used solely to convert other energies.
Whoosh!
A burning flame materialized in front of Yuichi. Within the inferno, a pair of piercing eyes stared back at him. The moment their gazes met, Yuichi felt a profound, mystical connection with the Spirit of Fire. He could convey his thoughts to the spirit anytime, anywhere.
While Yuichi basked in this sensation, he suddenly snapped back to reality and looked around.
Nothing had changed for the others; none of them seemed to notice the spirit's recovery at all. This was similar to the mechanics of the Shaman King world—ordinary people could not perceive the existence of spirits. Even Whitebeard and the other top-tier fighters, though they seemed to sense something strange, could not see the Spirit of Fire.
Seeing this, Yuichi felt relieved. It was best if no one could see it.
He retracted the Spirit of Fire into his body. It would sleep within him, ready to emerge at a mere thought. However, utilizing the Spirit of Fire's full power—like Hao Asakura did by materializing it into a giant Over Soul—was difficult with Yuichi's current strength. The amount of Furyoku consumed by such a feat was astronomical.
Furthermore, if the Spirit of Fire were fully materialized, its huge form would likely be visible to everyone. Its speed would also decrease due to its size. If he encountered an opponent with extreme speed, the Spirit of Fire would be helpless if it couldn't land a hit.
If it is an Over Soul... perhaps the Spirit of Fire is best used when attached to a weapon.
By integrating the spirit into a weapon, he could enhance his attack power while allowing the Spirit of Fire's energy to burst forth and superimpose onto other powers. Currently, the only weapon Yuichi possessed was his Zanpakutō.
If I attach the Spirit of Fire to the Zanpakutō, Senbonzakura... then the flying cherry blossom blades will burn with flames. The power... there might be an unexpected increase!
Thinking of this, Yuichi had the urge to experiment immediately, but Whitebeard's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Now, I suppose there is no objection to this man joining us!"
Whitebeard smiled. After their fight, Yuichi had proven his strength, and Kaido himself had admitted that Yuichi was powerful. The Tailed Beast Chakra that Kaido had coveted seemed of little concern now.
However, from the crowd of the Beasts Pirates, King—one of the three All-Stars—stepped forward.
"Hmph! If you want to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Four Emperors, you can't do it on your own!" King stared intensely at Yuichi. "Although his strength is good, he is still inferior to Lord Kaido. He is indeed qualified to be compared with the Four Emperors, but the title of Emperor can never be sustained by just one person!"
King sneered. "A guy who defected from the Marines... it's a pity that he doesn't have anyone under his command yet! If there is no crew, there is no way to rely on personal strength alone..."
"Who said Yuichi doesn't have anyone under his command!"
Suddenly, Shiki's voice cut through King's words. He floated in mid-air, looking down at King with a self-evident smile in his eyes. The Golden Lion of the Flying Pirates was announcing to everyone that he had now joined Yuichi's banner.
King froze for a moment. He naturally knew who the Golden Lion was. In the past, even his captain, Kaido, had to treat this man with caution. Although the Golden Lion's power was no longer at its peak, he still possessed proper Admiral-level combat power. A pirate who dared to invade Marineford alone was not weak.
"My boy from the Beasts Pirates, you speak too soon."
"Who said Yuichi has no influence under his command!"
NEO Marine leader Zephyr folded his arms and spoke indifferently.
Golden Lion Shiki plus former Marine Admiral Zephyr. Although they were two old men whom the sea was about to eliminate, their strength was undeniably at the Admiral level. King had felt it was strange earlier—why would these guys, who usually caused trouble elsewhere in the New World, appear here? Only now did he realize that they were forces under Yuichi's command.
"Hahahaha! You seem to be very strong. Do you want to continue fighting?"
Zzzzt!!
Enel suddenly transformed into lightning and appeared on the railing of the floating ship, staring at King while barefoot.
Seeing the moment the thunder and lightning erupted, King frowned slightly. Although he was unclear about who Enel was, the opponent had turned into lightning and teleported instantly. He didn't know the full extent of his strength, but Enel's Logia ability was visible to everyone.
"A Logia ability user... Lightning?"
"This Logia ability... is not weaker than the Marine Admirals' abilities at all!"
"Lightning is a very strong element!"
Enel looked at the pirates discussing his power. "The fruit I ate is called the Rumble-Rumble Fruit! It's not just thunder and lightning. Although the ability is lightning, I am God!"
Everyone was speechless. Why did this guy need to explain that?
Behind Yuichi, three Admiral-level combatants stood tall.
Shiki, Zephyr, and Enel were now crushing King with their gazes, bursting with a strong sense of oppression. Queen and Jack hurriedly took a step forward, standing side by side with King, releasing their own auras to resist them.
On the calm floating Island, the atmosphere became tense again.
Three airships floated behind the island: The Flying Pirates, the NEO Marines, and a group of Priests. They all acted as if they were ready for war.
This surprised Shanks. In just a few days, from Yuichi's escape from the Marines to the sudden appearance of such a force behind him... did this guy plan to leave the Marines a long time ago? If there was no premeditation, it would be impossible to summon such a force so quickly! And among them, Zephyr and Shiki were not men who could be subdued easily.
How did this kid do it?
Big Mom was also a little surprised, looking at the group of people behind Yuichi. Compared with the established power of a Yonko crew, it was still lacking in numbers, but as said before, Yuichi's own strength and the quality of his commanders were only slightly below the real Emperors.
He was qualified to be compared. Just missing a territory? No, looking around at the islands floating in mid-air... with so many islands, Yuichi's territory seemed to be quite large.
This guy... really became an Emperor of the Sea in a few days?
"Five Emperors..."
Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the pirate crowd.
Others wondered, "What Five Emperors?"
"The Fifth... Emperor of the Sea... has appeared!"
These words clearly echoed in the surroundings and floated into everyone's ears.
Suddenly, Whitebeard laughed out loud. "That's right... the Fifth Emperor who rules the sea has appeared! Then our alliance... is called the Five Emperors Alliance!"
"Gurararara..."
