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

After Tiger laid out the stark truth, the entire Sun Pirates crew fell silent.

Let alone counterattacking the World Government, even with so many of them ganging up on a pirate who was being chased all over the world by the Central Government, they were still completely powerless against her.

So what kind of power is hidden in the central hub, or how many of the humans who have occupied the land and survived to this day are strong enough to easily destroy them?

"Weakness is never an obstacle to survival; arrogance is. You'd better watch yourselves!"

Sakura stepped forward and helped Tiger up, then asked Kuina to open the cabin door and helped him inside.

The group of fishmen, who were left battered and bruised, began to seriously consider on the deck whether to choose survival or destruction.

The Sun Pirates' journey continues, and their next destination is Forshat Island.

Sakura and Kuina hitched a ride on their boat, planning to go with them to the island to replenish supplies.

Of course... it's definitely not because the Sun Pirates have many martial arts practitioners who would be suitable as sparring partners for Kuina that she stayed.

We're all buddies, we get up early every day to practice our skills, you wouldn't be unwilling to help with this little favor, would you?

During these days, Kuina's swordsmanship and physical skills improved day by day.

However, even Jinbe, who has the highest body fat percentage on the ship, has recently shown faint outlines of his cheekbones.

The wind howled and the waves surged as the pirate ship with its fish-head-shaped prow sailed between the black sky and the azure sea for a week.

After crossing a blank stretch of the western sea, the group finally arrived at their destination – Forchart Island.

"Goodbye, everyone. I will tell everyone in the village that there are many good people among the fish-men!"

Clara stood on land, waving to the fishmen who had come to see her off on the ship.

Sakura was instructing Kuina on her training at the stern tower when a rainbow suddenly flashed in her emerald eyes.

"Oh no... How could this be!"

The girl's expression turned unpleasant; her Observation Haki, which could extend for several kilometers, detected something ominous.

"Sakura-neechan, what's wrong?"

Kuina stopped swinging her knife and wiped the sweat from her chin.

"Kuina, a very dangerous battle is about to begin. Do you want to leave now?"

Sakura raised her head and gazed at the southwest side of the island.

"No, I want to go too! I'm not setting sail to hide behind Sakura-nee and be a good little girl!"

Kuina placed the weight on the ground and stared intently at Sakura.

Sakura smiled and ruffled her hair: "Then let's do it together!"

He raised his arm, and water chakra condensed into a ball of water in his palm.

—Fishman Karate: Water Strike!

The water sphere, imbued with Armament Haki, exploded in the air, creating layers of Mach rings and transforming into a straight white line that physically tore apart the air on the southwest side of the island.

Amidst the deafening roar, expanding cracks appeared in the void, growing even wider to reveal two warships hidden beneath.

One ship had a seagull design painted on its sails, while the other had the World Government's cross painted on it.

"This is truly terrifying~, didn't Lord Hyena say that she wouldn't discover him?"

On the bow of a naval warship, atop the massive shipborne cannon, a man in a yellow and white striped suit casually adjusted his sunglasses.

"That shouldn't be the case. It's been a week since we arrived from the Visen Sea. Why didn't we find it then, and why are we only discovering it now?"

A man dressed in a white suit and white coat, wearing a huge black and white sunflower mask, frantically scratched his head.

"Hmm~, while I don't mind talking to you slowly about why we were exposed, if this keeps up, they might have to go rescue Fisher Tiger~"

Kizaru raised his hand and pointed to the fish-men rushing into the land in large numbers in the distance, his expression still calm and unhurried.

"No, stop them!"

The hyena shouted at the CP agents behind him, and then led a few team members to fly towards the coast using Moonwalk.

As it approached the shore, the hyena unleashed a massive gust of wind that roared outwards, expanding to a range of hundreds of meters and engulfing the entire coastline.

"That's the Six Styles' Tempest Kick? How could anyone unleash such a massive slash with Tempest Kick?"

Kuina, who was charging alongside the fishmen, stared at the massive slash that almost covered the entire sky, her mouth agape for a long time.

"Oh no! Scatter! The slash is coming!"

Jinbe, who had been staring intently at the sky, shouted, and the fishmen around him scattered in terror.

Just as the entire coastline, along with the fishmen, was about to be cut off, a radiant light rose up!

"Wei Guo!"

Chapter 183 Sakura Haruno in Adversity, Leviathan in Desperate Circumstances

Above the sky, the collision of the two attacks created a hurricane that blew the fishmen, marines, and CP agents to the ground.

The surrounding bushes and forests were also being tossed about and shaken by the violent shockwaves.

The earth cracked, and the hills were broken.

The entire coastline was permanently altered by a brief encounter between the two, creating a vast plain.

"It's practically a natural disaster..."

After the storm, Kuina got up from the dusty ground and looked eagerly at Sakura in the sky with starry eyes.

The special agents and naval soldiers in front of them also rushed ashore to fight the fish-men.

"Hmm, why are there kids here?"

The navy soldiers, wielding broadswords, emerged from the dust and paused upon seeing Kuina.

"Idiot, what kind of ordinary kid would hang out with pirates?!"

A lieutenant behind him shoved him aside and raised his longsword at Kuina without hesitation.

The evil pirate brat dares to be so arrogant as to stand idly by on the battlefield; we must strike hard!

"go to hell!"

The roaring naval lieutenant officer raised his longsword and swung it down.

Ding!

The crisp sound of the sword hilt striking the scabbard echoed, and Kuina's figure appeared behind the two.

"Don't underestimate me just because I'm a girl! One-Sword Style: Maha Slash!"

The body, honed through countless trials, unleashed a combination of techniques from the Six Styles: Shave and Sword Techniques.

A strange breeze swept over the two marines, and as they were momentarily stunned, a dim gray light flashed by.

"Ugh!"

Both of them had huge wounds slashed open in their chests, gushing blood as it hit the ground.

"Damn it, Captain Hogu has been killed!"

"She's just a little girl! Why?"

"Don't underestimate her, she's a crew member of that other shore flower!"

Seeing how easily Kuina had taken down the lieutenant, many soldiers' momentum faltered.

The surrounding fishmen were greatly encouraged and drove the CP agents and navy back in defeat.

"Well, we can't let you kill our soldiers so easily~"

With a long, drawn-out tone, Kizaru appeared before the many fishmen. A huge, shimmering cross appeared in the sky, its light almost filling everyone's vision.

"Kizaru!!!"

Sakura tilted her head and twirled the Cloud Reaper in her hand, intending to launch an attack at Kizaru.

"Oh, this beautiful lady."

"For the sake of my salary, I can't let you bother my colleagues!"

Accompanied by the man's elegant words, a domineering hand reached for Sakura's waist.

A chill ran through my heart, and my Observation Haki triggered a frantic warning.

In a matter of milliseconds, Sakura used paper drawing to fold her body.

The hyena's arm grabbed the cloud iron that Yun Gang was spewing beside her, and in the next instant, that section of the iron cloud disappeared.

Sakura squinted. "Disappeared... no, did it shrink?"

"A keen sense of perception."

From the man's smile, his arm suddenly stretched out, twisting and turning in mid-air like a snake, and grabbed Sakura's arm.

“Damn it…”

Sakura quickly applied her Armament Haki to the arm he was holding.

A cloud of cyan energy erupted from the point where the two collided, and Sakura felt her protective aura vanish.

"I haven't introduced myself yet. My code name is Hyena. I am a person who ate the Paramecia-type Ruler-Rule Fruit!"

As he spoke, Armament Haki flowed between the hyena's five fingers, tearing apart Sakura's Haki armor and bringing his palm into direct contact with Sakura.

"So, a fun, child-friendly size~"

Under the shimmering light, Sakura's body began to shrink rapidly until it returned to the size of a five or six-year-old.

"Oh no! We're going to be too late!"

The sudden change in her body prevented Sakura from supporting the fish-men in the distance, and Kizaru had already completed charging his attack.

"The Eight-Foot Jade Ornament"

In that instant, a deathly silence descended.

Countless strands of dazzling light descended from the sky, illuminating the world.

Immediately afterwards, the dust-filled earth was dyed golden yellow.

Enveloping all things, covering everything.

Kuina gazed at the radiant sunlight, her hand trembling as she grasped Muramasa's: "This is the mighty warrior of the sea, hahaha..."

The girl's figure weaved through the battlefield where agents and fishmen clashed, and she suddenly leaped up, ready to swing her knife at Liu Guang.

"Ok!"

Jinbe, who had just knocked away a major general, saw her insane behavior and his eyes bulged.

He quickly used his Savage Charge to plow a path, grabbed Kuina, and started running wildly in his arms.

Ancestors, don't you even look at who's flying in the sky before you grab your sword and start slashing at them?

"Oh, are you one of that guy's crew members?"

Kizaru's Observation Haki detected the unusual activity on the battlefield, and he deliberately tilted the Flash Cross in his hand to focus attention on Jinbe and the other two.

"Hey~, you flashy bastard~, don't you dare bully my child!"

The clear voices of children echoed in the sky, and in a world filled with light, a hideous silhouette forged by darkness spread its pitch-black wings.

Its massive body soared into the sky in a fit of rage, scattering countless light wings that were lifted by the wind and transformed into surging darkness that devoured the light.

As the saying goes: In dire straits, you can always trust Leviathan.

"This is bad~, a mythical beast?"

Kizaru's eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, widened slightly, and then he saw...

A night sparrow, its wings blotting out the sky, glided and fell from mid-air, darkness coalescing into a raging dark flame that burned on its feathers.

Then, those straight, blade-like wings whistled loudly and slashed fiercely at him.

"It's no use~, I'm still a Flash after all..."

boom!

The collision of darkness and light erupted into a violent explosion. In the instant the light was torn apart, everyone clearly saw a figure being blasted away.
