Trash Station of Naruto

As the middle-aged man spoke, a blazing aura radiated from his body, gradually melting the coldness in the area as it rose.

Ren could feel the heat wave washing over him as well, so he tapped a fingertip. "Gather!"

In an instant, all the heat converged toward Ren's fingertip, forming a golden fireball there.

Feeling the fireball's temperature, Ren said, "Tsk, tsk... at least a million degrees Celsius. It seems your Temperature-Temperature Fruit is already close to Beyond Awakening!"

The middle-aged man before him was likely the Temperature-Temperature Fruit user. Earlier, he had lowered the temperature and frozen the entire sea. Moreover, the ice had been even more terrifyingly cold than Aokiji's. Now that he could raise the temperature as well, he clearly possessed free control over temperature. Naturally, he was the Temperature-Temperature Fruit user!

The middle-aged man nodded. "That's right... I ate the Temperature-Temperature Fruit. I am a Temperature Human and can freely control my own body temperature. But after Devil Fruit Awakening, I can control the temperature within a certain range. As the fruit continues to develop, I can even control the temperatures of living creatures within that range!"

His confident gaze eventually fell upon Ren.

Ren flicked the golden fireball toward Zero Division's Number One behind him.

Number One, who used the Heat-Heat Fruit, instantly swallowed the fireball. Flames erupted from his body, but he was extremely excited. "Hehe... thank you, Captain. My temperature can rise again. I'll be even more confident when facing Akainu in the future!"

Ren waved his hand dismissively, but the middle-aged man stared deeply at Zero Division's Number One. After all, the Heat-Heat Fruit and the Temperature-Temperature Fruit were similar!

At that moment, the old man said, "Kiya... don't be so hot-tempered!"

Kiya nodded and respectfully stepped back.

The old man smiled.
