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

"I...I'm sorry, Boss Sea Serpent!"

The CP codenamed Onga kept bowing to the man in front of him, cold sweat dripping onto the deck.

"I'm just too worried. How...how are we supposed to fight against a monster like that?"

The sea serpent lowered one of its hands from his shoulder and let out a cold laugh.

"Resist? Why should we resist her? The Five Elders have ordered her assassination."

Walking toward the ship's railing, the unremarkable man opened a newspaper and looked at today's news.

"Even if she's powerful enough to handle the Buster Call, so what? Poisoning, assassination, murder... there are countless ways in the world to kill her."

The sea serpent raised its head, and the outline of Dong Island vaguely appeared in its dark eyes.

That foolish pirate will surely be constantly worried about sharp blades piercing him from all directions, and regret making an enemy of the World Government every single second!

To leave the enemy terrified and unable to control themselves, to plunge them into the abyss of madness and despair and die a cruel death—this is the aesthetics of CP0 assassination squad leader, Sea Serpent!

blah blah blah!

Urgent footsteps approached, and a CP agent responsible for security ran up to the stern of the ship.

"Commander...commander...commander..."

The agent, who had appeared normal, turned pale the moment he stepped onto the stern of the ship, and his teeth chattered as he spoke.

"Hey, Onga, tone down your abilities!"

The sea serpent clicked its tongue and then rolled up a newspaper and hit Onga on the head.

"Hi, I'm so sorry, Boss Sea Serpent!"

Onga curled up and rolled to a corner.

The pale-faced CP agent suddenly recovered, looked around, stood up and saluted the sea serpent.

"Sir, we are approaching Dong Island. Saint Charmark wishes to greet the common people at the bow and requests your accompaniment."

The sea serpent felt extremely troubled upon hearing the troublesome request made by the Celestial Dragons.

"I have a mission. Arrange for others to protect him!"

"Sir, we tried, but Charmark Saint disagrees..."

The CP agent's expression turned troubled, and he glanced at the sea serpent.

"Idiot, just find any ordinary agent to put on a mask, how could he possibly tell?"

The sea serpent grabbed the agent by the collar and started cursing, then let go and threw him to the ground.

"Let's go, Onka!"

After assigning the escort duties to his subordinates, Sea Serpent and his second-in-command set off ahead in a small boat.

On the other side, at the port of the Kingdom of Goa.

Beautiful ribbons intertwined, and a huge, eye-catching welcome banner hung at the port entrance.

A brand-new red carpet stretched from the dock to the city, with crowds of people standing on both banks to welcome them, and guards in gray uniforms standing outside them.

People's faces were beaming with warm smiles; if only we could ignore the slight awkwardness in their eyes and brows.

"Drag, are you a genius?"

“Use the treasures of nobles to fight against nobles, and in the end, you can even get the nobles to work for you.”

A girl mingling in the crowd held up an apple and took a big bite.

"Haha, what can I do? I have a friend who's really smart."

Dorrag laughed, gazing into the distance, recalling his encounter with a certain genius beneath the burned ruins of the Tree of Omniscience.

"But then again, will the World Government really let you have your way? Aren't you afraid it will involve your homeland?"

As the outline of the World Government patrol ship gradually became clearer in the distance, Sakura threw the apple core she had just finished eating into the water.

"Even if the World Government doesn't contribute, the Celestial Dragons have enough treasure of their own."

"As for the Goa Kingdom, I deliberately left the royal family behind, so that they could ask for help before launching a surprise attack on them, thus gaining weapons and equipment twice!"

Dorag crossed his arms, his aura becoming more active, ready to attack.

The ships below slowly entered the harbor, and the cheers from both banks grew even louder.

A man wearing a glass dome and a heavy white spacesuit walked onto the bow of the ship.

"These lowly people are quite interesting, aren't they, Sea Serpent?"

Beside him, a man wearing a huge black and white mask made a few noises.

"Honestly, you're not as funny as you were a few days ago."

Celestial Dragon Charmack pulled out a pistol from behind his back, preparing to shoot a few commoners to spice things up.

The muzzle of the musket swung, aiming at a woman holding a child.

All eyes were fixed on Charmack as he pulled the trigger with a ferocious expression.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, followed by a crisp, low thud that reached everyone's ears.

The woman holding the child focused her unfocused gaze, and a pink-haired girl sat in front of her, holding something resembling a needle, piercing through a bullet.

"Haruno Sakura!"

The CP agent standing next to Charmack immediately recognized the target of their mission, but before he could react...

A fierce wind swept across the entire patrol boat, lifting it into the sky. All the crew members were forced to lie flat on the boat by the sudden gravity.

In the rapidly ascending air, Dragon flew onto the ship's deck with Sakura.

"Monkey D. Dragon!"

A man whose reputation was legendary within the CP organization appeared before them, and everyone gaped in astonishment.

The masked agent gritted his teeth, reached under his white coat, and grasped the musket loaded with seastone bullets.

For them, the appearance of the Revolutionary Army and pirates together was absolutely bad news.

The fact that the two largest anti-government armed groups in the world have joined forces means that they are more capable than ever of shaking the rule of the world government.

"No way! If the government collapses, how many ordinary people will lose sleep over it? How can we let you scum get away with this!"

With the resolve to die, the CP agent ignited his will and injected it into his heart, stimulating his blood vessels and unleashing a power that could withstand the wind pressure in a short time.

The agent drew his gun and sprinted in a very short time. His blood vessels ruptured, causing blood spots on his face, and blood seeped from his mouth, nose and eye sockets.

His hand gripping the gun exuded an aura of dominance as he fiercely aimed at Sakura and pulled the trigger.

Peng!

There was a gunshot.

It was imbued with the domineering aura of a CP0 agent's desperate strike to maintain order.

The projectiles were launched with tremendous force by the flash of fire, and the wooden deck shattered layer by layer under the powerful impact.

A rainbow flashed in Sakura's pupils, and sensing danger, she instinctively grabbed something nearby to block it.

Click!

The crisp sound of shattering glass made all the agents present pop their eyes out of their sockets and their jaws drop to the ground.

"Ok?"

Sakura opened her eyes and saw the guy in the heavy spacesuit she was holding had a bullet hole in his head, from which blood was constantly oozing.

"Oh, you killed a Celestial Dragon!"

Without hesitation, the girl turned the tables and accused the perpetrator.

"No, I... cough!"

The man coughed up a mouthful of blood and died on the spot.

Chapter 164 The impending crisis

"This is going to be troublesome."

Looking at the Celestial Dragon whose forehead had been pierced, Dragon wore a thoughtful expression.

Thirty years ago, when he was still serving in the navy, he witnessed firsthand the horrific battle that wiped out an entire country.

"Wow, this guy even carries around a Devil Fruit?"

A pirate, adhering to the principle of never leaving empty-handed, inspected the Celestial Dragon's corpse, but unexpectedly discovered two Devil Fruits that the dragon had hidden.

"Hey, can't you be a little nervous?"

Dragon sighed helplessly, using one hand to maintain his power and prevent the ship from falling.

The surrounding agents and world government officials, recovering from their shock, drew their weapons, preparing for a final stand.

Regardless of whether they can defeat the two in front of them, the fact remains that the Celestial Dragons have perished under their protection.

Once they return to Mary Geoise, they will have to take responsibility for this. Death is inevitable, so they might as well take a gamble and kill the two men; that might increase their chances of survival.

"Okay, then let's each take one?"

Sakura, who is always generous, stretched out her claws and held the Devil Fruit in front of Dragon.

Dragon: "..."

Although now is not the time to discuss this matter, the girl has, after all, handed over a treasure from the sea.

Even if the abilities are unknown, the Devil Fruit, no matter how abstract, can, when combined with the unwavering will of the Revolutionary Army, create a renowned and powerful individual. This is something that Dragon, who currently lacks everything, cannot refuse.

After all, even revolutionaries need to eat.

In silence, Dragon took the fruit Sakura offered and put it into his pocket with one hand.

"I didn't originally plan to declare war on the government so soon, but... the Revolutionary Army will take responsibility for the Celestial Dragons' affairs!"

Dorrag patted his chest confidently, and the two reached an agreement without tacitly agreeing.

Then...

The crew of the World Government patrol ship suffered the consequences.

Sakura's Conqueror's Haki clears the field, while Dragon, as a sniper, is a master of precise point-and-click kills.

The two worked together seamlessly, carrying out the cleaning on the ship with precision and efficiency.

Several tens of minutes later, there were no survivors on the patrol boat except for the two people.

"Phew, it's time to leave."

Dorrag looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, his eyes still unwavering.

After all, the Revolutionary Army has already achieved most of its objectives in coming to the Kingdom of Goa, and has acquired manpower, weapons, and equipment.

Although the Celestial Dragons' deaths rendered their ransom plan futile, they did manage to retrieve a fruit.

The most important thing is to establish a deeper connection with people like Sakura.

It's worth noting that besides being a great pirate, that pink-haired girl is also a renowned doctor throughout the entire sea.

Whether they are ruthless pirates or ambitious schemers with ulterior motives... in this era filled with violence, no one would be unwilling to get closer to such a doctor.

What will happen to the Kingdom of Goa?

Sakura unceremoniously carried the remaining treasure out of the cabin and whistled into the distance.

Leviathan descended with its jet-black wings flapping, swallowing the object whole.

“It’s alright. We’ll create unrest elsewhere to attract the World Government’s attention, and then send people here to help the residents establish a new regime.”

Dragon watched as Sakura gestured for him to enter, and followed her into Leviathan's abdomen.

After the two left, the World Government's patrol ship instantly lost its ability to lift it, turning into a black meteor that crashed into the sea.

On the other side, there's the windmill village.

A simple fishing boat sailed into the harbor, and two men dressed like ordinary people boarded the windmill village.
