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

The sea serpent's nine heads twisted, their domineering presence imbued with bluish-gray scales that shimmered like black jade in the twilight.

The snake-headed, human-bodied monster lowered its center of gravity, its body tense as it awakened and sublimated, and the power of the phantom beast roared silently.

The poison that exists in his imagination is absorbed, refined, purified, and condensed several times before flowing between his teeth and claws.

Even a single drop on the ground can frantically assimilate the surrounding matter, transforming it into a potent poison that pollutes the world.

—Finger gun, jaw, horn!

The nine snake heads suddenly stretched out, combining the muscular movements of snakes hunting with the magical techniques of finger guns.

The sea serpent's attack emitted a sharp whistle, and the material outline of the shadowy figure disappeared under this extreme speed.

"So fast!"

Sakura's pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints. Instinctively, she flung her kunai and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport into mid-air.

The ice surface where they had just stood was bitten into pieces by the serpent's head that came rushing in, and venom and poisonous mist flew out and spread to the sky, the earth and even in all directions.

"What's wrong? This level of incompetence isn't enough to defy the order, you pirates!"

Several snake heads, each carrying a block of ice, emerged from the mist, their eighteen sharp pupils fixed on the girl in the sky.

"A troublesome guy!"

Sakura, using her Moonwalk technique, observed the situation below, a glint of light in her eyes.

The substances generated by the low-temperature mode and ninjutsu will be assimilated by the opponent's unreasonable awakened ability.

Using the high-temperature mode will cause the venom to evaporate into toxic vapor, further enhancing the opponent's advantage on the field.

In close-quarters combat, you not only have to resist poison, but also face the terrifying stamina and regenerative abilities of animal-type monsters.

Damn, with these mythical beast species being raised like this, isn't anyone going to do anything about it?

"Aren't you going to attack? Or... are you planning to run away with your tail between your legs?"

The sea serpent skillfully used words to undermine Sakura's fighting spirit, venom gathered between its arms, and an aura of dominance flowed continuously from its body.

Immediately afterwards, he stomped hard, shattering the ice, and his whole body transformed into a thin thread that flew into the sky.

"This is the only thing that is absolutely impossible!"

Sakura Haruno's eyes narrowed, and an overwhelming aura erupted, with black lightning swirling around her.

The sea serpent's words were clearly aimed at crippling Sakura.

If you are defeated in battle, you have a chance to try again. But if you lose even the courage to fight, then you have truly cut yourself off from the path of the strong!

"Then let me judge your will to maintain order!"

Frosty winds surged from the girl's hands, and the massive greatsword and two-handed axe, imbued with domineering power, slashed down at the oncoming sea serpent, unleashing a mournful howl.

—The Spear of Elbaf, Mighty Kingdom!

"You shallow fool, now I'll show you the weight of order!"

Flames erupted from the outer sides of several of the sea serpent's heads, and its venomous aura formed a ferocious serpentine exoskeleton.

It nimbly dodged the prisms that Sakura conjured in the air and lunged at her.

—Fangqiang·Huangchi!

when!

The collision of teeth and swords and axes produced a thunderous roar, and a violent conflict erupted in mid-air.

The clash of wills stirred up a storm, and the intensified frost and venom spread like a torrential rain.

Sakura's sword and axe shattered, and her body, stained with poison, flew backwards into the higher sky.

The sea serpent, plummeting towards the ground, had a huge gash cut into its body.

Five or six snake heads were severed, and large amounts of venomous blood spurted from the smooth cuts.

"This poison is really troublesome. I must go back and learn the Yin Seal from Tsunade!"

Sakura used medical ninjutsu to extract the venom that had seeped into her body again, and the two consecutive blood losses made her face look pale.

His Observation Haki focused on the sea serpent below, which was constantly regenerating its heads, while his gaze drifted to the side.

As if sensing the girl's thoughts, a line of small golden characters lit up.

"Tch, I don't need you, you shrewd businessman. I'll figure it out myself!"

Please do not slander this system....

While Sakura and the system were arguing, the sea serpent on the ground had completed its body regeneration and stood up, moving its body and neck.

More and more potent venom was oozing from his body, and the imagined toxins, combined with the sea serpent's tyrannical aura, boiled over.

The domineering aura forged from the brutal will that has witnessed countless deaths and countless grievances, combined with the extraordinary venom created by the mythical beast.

The pale, pure substance formed by the mixture of the two, if it must be given a name.

Perhaps it can be called—the poison of the soul!

"You so-called pirates are nothing but a bunch of overgrown children, indulging in ridiculous dreams of freedom. But in reality, the vast majority of people are content with being ordinary, and what ordinary people truly seek is nothing more than a sense of security."

The potent venom injected into its body continues to drastically enhance the sea serpent's physical and mental abilities, resulting in a combination of powers that has reached an unprecedented level.

His snake-like eyes revealed a look of pain. He hugged himself with both hands, his body swelled and twisted, and his flesh multiplied, constantly transforming into the form of a giant Hydra.

"In this detestable world! Only the world government, which represents order, can give them what they want. Your so-called freedom can only give them painful choices. It would be more dignified to live in ignorance!"

"Stop waving the banner of the common people! Human job placement agencies, human hunting competitions...aren't you, the world government, the ones who create suffering and deprive people of their freedom all the time?!"

Sakura, high in the sky, raises one hand, attempting to recreate her previous, immature idea of ​​developing her Devil Fruit ability.

Her snow-white hair and eyes returned to normal, only to turn red again in the next second due to the high temperature.

This time, however, the intense heat did not spread rapidly; instead, it was firmly locked onto the girl's arm by a storm formed by the hot and cold air currents.

Compress, compress, and compress again!

The high temperature of thousands of degrees is concentrated at a point in the palm of your hand. The kinetic energy of the gas thermal motion exceeds the ionization energy, causing ionization to occur due to the collision between molecules.

Finally, an arc of electricity was born from Sakura's hand, and countless free electrons formed a bright blue starlight that danced merrily.

"Success!"

Sakura's solemn face showed a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth as she intensified the activation of her abilities.

With her five fingers spread wide, amidst the trembling of heaven and earth, her fair little hand restrained the struggling pure white lightning.

The thermal cycle of the storm pulled the massive thunderclouds together into a giant dark sphere, filled with vortexes of air currents and lightning.

“Deprivation? In a world where people are born destined to be dominated, we are merely helping them alleviate the troubles of making choices.”

The sea serpent roared with laughter, its sharp teeth digging into the body, injecting more venom and recklessly extracting its domineering aura.

The giant snake, having completely lost its human form, even used its life force to compress its own flesh and blood.

The snake's head retracts into the tubes of its torso, and layers of skin, flesh, and bone accumulate to create unparalleled explosive power.

—Fingergun, Serpent Beast!

A brilliant light burst forth on the ice surface, and the heads that the nine-headed serpent had bitten off left pure white trails in the void.

It erupted and surged towards the girl in the sky!

puff!

Several snake fangs pierced the domineering barrier she had erected in front of her, injecting the poison that dissolved her mind into it.

"Cough cough..."

Blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and the spread of the toxin caused Xiaoying's emerald pupils to become bloodshot, making her look extremely ferocious.

However, under the corrosive influence of this poison designed to destroy her will, the flames burning within her soul grew ever stronger.

Sakura raised her hand and grasped the cloud ball, pouring her concentrated willpower into it, causing the ball to expand several times its original size.

With his other hand gripping the sea serpent's chest, his voice grew increasingly agitated:

"That's not a problem, you bastard! That's proof we're alive!"

"you...."

Along with her words came the enormous lightning ball, hundreds of meters in diameter.

——Lightning Mode · Thunder Welcome!

The sea serpent's enormous body was instantly swallowed up and covered, and the brutal black sphere crashed down without mercy.

Lightning burst forth, turning everything pure white.

The raging flames tore through the giant serpent's scales, leaving deep gashes from which venomous blood gushed forth.

Immediately afterwards, the charred flesh and blood quickly regenerated, growing a snake's head.

But it was quickly torn apart by the lurking thunder, its flesh and blood going back and forth between destruction and rebirth, leaving the sea serpent unable to move.

It plummeted downwards, smashing through the ice below and stirring up endless waves.

In the instant before being swallowed by the sea, the sea serpent's crimson eyes stared at the indifferent, downcast-eyed girl in the sky, and it let out a roar of unwilling fury:

"Sakura Haruno!!!"

Chapter 169 Recuperation and Shimotsuki Village

"This is really..."

Feeling the overwhelming power emanating from the battle, Dragon, who had arrived on a dragon-headed ship, broke out in a cold sweat upon seeing the scene before him.

The azure sea is frozen solid, and in the middle, a huge crater hundreds of meters wide is drawing in seawater from the surrounding area, creating a whirlpool.

Dark lightning roared in the narrow space, and countless deadly poisons drifting in the wind added insult to injury to this hellish place.

Clearly, the scene before us is the result of a battle between two powerful ability users.

However, given that he was so close to his homeland, Dorrag could only think of one person who could create such a large-scale residual ability.

"Dorag, look there!"

Ivankov, who was lying on the ship's side, lifted his cloak and pointed to the sky.

A black nightingale flapped its wings and flew toward their boat.

"As expected... Sakura-san's Leviathan!"

Dorag raised his hand and a gentle breeze swept towards Leviathan, washing away the venom that had clung to her body.

"Oh dear, thank you so much!"

The nightingale fell onto the deck and rolled around a few times, its dark feathers scattered all over the ground, looking rather pathetic.

"Leviathan, what on earth happened here?"

The sound of high heels tapping on the deck echoed as Ivankov ran over.

"Ivan~, please help~ heal Sakura~"

Leviathan looked up and saw Ivankov's face, then opened his mouth and spat out the unconscious Sakura.

Upon seeing the girl's injuries and remaining poison, Ivankov immediately ordered the revolutionary soldiers to move her to the operating room.

Dragon gazed at the gradually calming sea and asked, "Who did you fight?"

"CP0, that guy is amazing at using poison!"

Leviathan sounded exhausted, and he swayed as he stood up.

It seems that her act of rushing into the battlefield to rescue people has also had some impact on her.

However, because he was worried about Sakura, he forced himself to stay on the deck.

"Don't worry, we'll take good care of Ms. Sakura."

Dorag walked back and reached out to support Leviathan, who was about to lose his balance.

"Then I'll leave it to you!"
