Double-transformation: I, Sakura Haruno! Will crush the pirates!

"Captain!!! And Shanks, you bastard!"

"Hahahahaha!"

The laughter on the ship lasted for a long time that night, as did the bruises on Shanks' face.

After daybreak, Sakura and her two companions disembarked in the North Sea.

The girl watched as the pirates crossed the Calm Belt and headed for the legendary final island under the rising sun.

...

A week later.

"Sakura, look!"

Shanks stormed into the hotel with a newspaper and slammed it on the table.

"A journey around the world, the Pirate King Gol D. Roger..."

When Sakura Haruno saw the headline on the front page of the World Economic Herald, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"what's so funny?"

Shanks looked at the pink-haired girl in front of him, puzzled, and scratched his head.

"You grew up on a ship, don't you know Captain Roger's real name?"

“Gol D. Roger!!!” Shanks exclaimed.

"Yeah, I never expected that the mighty World Government would be afraid of a mere name. Isn't that hilarious?"

Sakura Haruno laughed so hard she almost fell over, slapping the table forcefully.

But where Shanks couldn't see, the girl's laughter concealed the tears streaming down her face.

The journey to the final island has ended, and Roger's life is now entering its final countdown.

"It really feels like a dream."

Sakura Haruno sighed softly and began packing her bags.

"Hey, what have you guys been talking about since the beginning?"

Buggy, who came out of the restroom, asked in confusion, but soon he knew why Sakura was packing her things.

On that afternoon when newsbirds filled the entire harbor, the Al Jackson broke through the waves and docked at the pier.

After picking up Sakura and the other two, they hurriedly left Beihai.

Roger, who had already caused a sensation throughout the entire sea, earned a legendary title—the Pirate King.

Countless pirates wanted to defeat Roger, seize his wealth, fame, and power, and become the next man to rule the world.

The Navy and agents of the World Government responded immediately, launching a full-scale manhunt for this person who had violated the taboo.

So, on a sunset-lit afternoon, Roger gathered all the members of his pirate crew.

"Looking back, it's all a miracle. I was destined to live a short life, but I've actually made it this far. I really owe it all to everyone."

Roger scanned the numerous crew members one by one, finally fixing his gaze on Sakura Haruno.

"Now, let me announce the final captain's order!"

"Roger Pirates, disband!"

Roger actually showed a relieved smile after giving up the vast power he had built up.

Sakura Haruno sensed immense magnanimity from the man before her, a magnanimity far surpassing the narrow-mindedness of ordinary people, a spirit honed after navigating the entire world.

Even if one is nearing the end of their life, how many people in the world can so easily let go after taking on everything?

"Oh, Captain, no!"

"Captain Roger, you idiot!!"

“Wuwuwuwu…”

The crew members scratched their heads, some trying to dissuade Roger, others trying to persuade him to stay.

However, none of them could sway Roger's resolve.

"Hehe, let's find a place without the navy, I want to be the first to disembark!"

Roger laughed as he made the suggestion, but this time he didn't use the captain's commanding tone.

The USS Al Jackson sailed into the South China Sea and slowly came to a stop.

The Roger Pirates crew stood at the edge of the ship, tears streaming down their faces, watching Roger walk towards the distant town.

Just then, a figure rushed out from the crowd and lunged at Roger, who was about to disappear into the crowd.

Pfft!

Roger opened his arms and caught Sakura, speaking in a helpless voice.

"Seriously, didn't we agree that this was a man's farewell and we didn't need to see him off?"

"Who cares about you! I'm a girl."

In the two years since joining Roger's pirate crew, Sakura Haruno has fought and laughed alongside Roger.

I have tasted the pain of losing companions and enjoyed the beauty of the journey.

For Sakura, the Roger Pirates were her second home.

Unfortunately, the family is now falling apart.

Sakura Haruno was overwhelmed by a nameless sadness, and a great sense of loss lingered in her heart.

"Honestly, that's why we chose this way—because we couldn't say goodbye," Roger muttered to himself.

He gently patted Sakura's head, letting her tears spread across his clothes.

He casually unfastened the sword from his waist—the Supreme Grade Sword, Twelve Grade Swords, Ace.

Before Sakura could react, Roger used his sword to exchange for himself.

"Thank you, child from another world, thank you for becoming my crew member!"

A sea breeze blew from afar, flipping the Pirate King's hat and revealing a face gaunt from illness.

However, the man's smug smile never diminished his boldness.

Roger raised his fist, turned around without looking back, and left everyone with a dashing silhouette.

"Goodbye, Captain Roger!"

Instead of chasing after Roger, Sakura simply hugged the famous sword tightly to her chest.

Wiping away the tears on her face, she turned and walked back to the Al Jackson.

Chapter 11 The Great Pirate Returns to the Ninja World

Sabaody Archipelago, 1498 in the Sea Calendar.

Sakura stood on the beach with her eyes closed, her mind highly focused.

Her Observation Haki senses expanded outwards from the girl, capturing the frequencies shared by all things in nature—the sea breeze, the waves, the birdsong—and connecting them to the myriad phenomena of the universe.

Its name is—the breath of all things.

The Supreme Grade Sword Ace hummed softly in Sakura Haruno's hands, and an unparalleled brilliance emanated from its blade.

The slash, tens of meters long, spun out as the girl's blade fell, instantly cleaving the sea in two.

"We finally succeeded!"

The man sitting on the tree root behind Sakura picked up a bottle of wine and drank it down in large gulps.

"Thank you so much, Uncle Rayleigh!"

Sakura Haruno sheathed Ace's sword at her waist.

"Seriously, is it really okay for you not to go to Loguetown?"

Beside Rayleigh lay a newspaper containing the world-shaking speech given by the Pirate King before his death.

There are also various denials from world governments regarding the One Piece, as well as commentaries by experts and scholars arguing that it does not exist.

"We've already said goodbye properly, and I believe Captain Roger won't die!"

Sakura turned around, her pink hair fluttering in the breeze, revealing a bright smile.

The girl gave a thumbs-up and pointed to her heart.

Rayleigh looked at Sakura like this, and his eyes suddenly became somewhat dazed.

He vaguely saw Roger, who had said goodbye to him that day, and his hearty laughter echoed in his ears.

'I won't die, brother!'

Rayleigh spread his glasses frame with two fingers and held them against his eyes, then burst into laughter.

"Yeah, how could that guy die so easily!"

Sakura, who was on the shore, turned around and heard the sound of air rubbing against each other. In an instant, she was next to Rayleigh.

She put her hands on her hips and began to explain to Ridley.

"Uncle Rayleigh, thank you for taking care of me during this time."

"Captain Roger's journey has come to an end, and it's time for me to go home."

"Take good care of yourself while you're alone in Sabaody Archipelago, and don't drink too much alcohol!"

Despite being nagged by his junior, Rayleigh showed no impatience.

Instead, he put down the bottle and listened attentively to everything Sakura had to say.

"Well then, goodbye, Uncle Rayleigh!"

"Sakura!"

Rayleigh raised his fist at her.

Sakura Haruno also clenched her fist and bumped it with Rayleigh's.

'System! Activate the shuttle function!'

'Flip it, flip it, hurry up and flip it!'

[Announcement: 10 points will be deducted for crossing worlds, and 100 points will be deducted for carrying items.]

[Begin the leap!]

The next instant, a torrent of intense light enveloped Sakura Haruno.

After the deathly silence, the light dissipated, and Rayleigh, who had watched Sakura Haruno being swallowed by the light, sat there in astonishment.

He then shook his head and got himself completely drunk.

...

In the 57th year of Konoha, on the east side of the main gate of Konoha Village—the commercial street.

"Hey, hey, I'm talking to you, can't you hear me!"

Sakura Haruno, still in a daze, opened her eyes and found herself leaning against a corner of the wall.

The red glow of Observation Haki flashed briefly in his eyes, and his domineering, precise detection spread like a radar.

Within a range of ten meters... a hundred meters... a thousand meters, Sakura could clearly perceive every rustle of wind and movement.

Of course, this also included the three girls in front of me with mocking expressions.

"Domineering aura...normal, physique...normal, swordsmanship...normal, abilities...normal."
