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

They have been waiting on the island for two days since the pirates escaped during their last battle.

Not to mention the fish-men, they've almost fished out all the fish in the near sea, yet the Sun Pirates haven't returned.

If it weren't for the hyena's confident assertion that the pirates would definitely return, Kizaru would already be enjoying hot tea at headquarters, instead of being stuck here exposed to the wind and sun.

"Ultimately, relying on the reputation of a group of pirates for a mission isn't reliable enough."

Kizaru spoke slowly, his tone filled with nonchalance and indifference.

In any case, if a secret mission fails, the person who will be held accountable will definitely not be a public figure like him.

On the contrary, some guys hiding in the shadows messed things up badly, so they won't have the chance to do so again~

“They will definitely come back; I understand this type of person!”

The hyena rubbed the bandages on its body, its elegance and composure undiminished.

The one who knows you best is always your enemy, ever since Sakura and Fisher Tiger committed the heinous crime in Mary Geoise.

The intelligence agency CP had already set up special offices for the two individuals to collect information, study trends, analyze weaknesses, and map their personalities.

Pirates like Sakura and Fisher Tiger value morality, so once they promise to send Koala back to her hometown, they will definitely keep their promise.

boom! ! !

A violent explosion came from the harbor, causing Kizaru and the hyena to stand up at the same time.

"coming!"

The hyena used its ability to alter the scale, taking a single step and appearing directly in front of the harbor.

Upon arriving at the harbor, flames and shockwaves from the massive explosions swept debris everywhere, leaving many naval soldiers and government agents unconscious on the ground.

One by one, fishmen popped their heads out of the seawater, using fishmen karate to disrupt the shore. Hyenas used their Observation Haki to search for Fisher Tiger's figure.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the island, Leviathan used the darkness to leap over the cliffs on the north side of the island and glided in the direction indicated by Klar.

Finally, it flew into a town and spat out four figures from its mouth.

When the townspeople saw the two notorious pirates leading two children into the town, they all took out their weapons and watched them warily.

"Klar!"

A woman with the same hair color as Karal rushed out of the crowd and hugged her tightly.

"Mother...."

The bitterness and grievances of her wandering finally erupted the moment she was embraced by her mother. The girl looked up and cried, tears streaming down her face.

Fisher Tiger walked over to Sakura, patted her on the shoulder, and gave her a thumbs-up behind her back.

Sakura nodded, and the two quietly left amidst the cheers of the many residents.

Click! Click! Click!

A sound of weapons scraping against each other rang out as the townspeople took out World Government standard weapons and aimed them at Sakura and her two companions who were preparing to leave.

"Mom and everyone, what are you doing?! Sakura-neechan and Tiger are my saviors who brought me back!!!"

Clara cried and struggled, but her mother held her tightly.

The townspeople, armed with weapons, slowly moved forward, shielding Klar and her daughter behind them.

A man spoke to Sakura and Tiger in a trembling voice: "The...the central agents have changed their demands. If they want them to release Krall...they have to capture you. You're good people...please do them a favor and save her completely..."

"You bastards! Good people deserve to have guns pointed at them?"

Without hesitation, Kuina drew her demon sword Muramasa. Just as she was about to swing it, Fisher Tiger grabbed her wrist.

Fisher Tiger clenched his fist and swung it forcefully at the townspeople in front of him.

—Fishman Karate: Sea Drum!

The surrounding moisture, compressed by the force of the punch, expanded outwards in an impact-like motion.

The ground was cracked in a spiderweb pattern, and the houses behind it were smashed one by one.

The townspeople, also caught in the shockwave, were sent flying, coughing up blood, and writhing on the ground in pain.

"Let's go, Sakura!"

With his fist down, Fisher Tiger took the lead and walked out of town.

"Boss Tiger, Sakura, Kuina, I..."

Clara's hoarse voice rang out as she struggled to break free from her mother's grasp and chased after the three.

"We are the pirates who destroyed your homeland. You don't even know Tiger, Sakura Haruno, or Kuina, understand?"

Sakura reached out and grabbed Clara's clothes, throwing her off and sending her crashing to the ground.

Just as Clara was about to get up, she was tapped on the head by Guina as she walked past her.

Finally, he collapsed to the ground, exhausted, watching the three figures walk further and further away.

On the way out, Kuina followed Sakura, angrily waving her little fists.

"Those townspeople are despicable! We should have been tougher on them!"

"In this chaotic era, they are nothing more than a group of pitiful people struggling to survive."

Sakura sighed, watching the streaks of light gradually shimmering on the horizon.

And the space that follows the light, constantly twisting and shrinking.

"The problem isn't with them, it's with... this world!"

Chapter 186: There is a mole, the deal is terminated

"Oh dear, this won't do! Two great sinners!"

A figure draped in a white robe limped over.

The hyena used the power of the Ruler-Rule Fruit to compress all the wounds on its flesh, bones, and internal organs to an imperceptible size, forcibly restoring its fighting ability.

However, this comes at a price. The injuries that have been manipulated require a longer recovery period. If it weren't for the mission assigned by the central command, the hyenas wouldn't be willing to take such a risk.

He walked past Kizaru and stepped forward, placing his hands on the ground.

The expansive view that once offered a distant view of the sea became blurred, with only countless black scale lines entwined in the void.

Covering the earth and shrouding the sky, as fine as spider silk, it twists everything.

"Is the world getting bigger?"

Kuina looked at the ever-expanding trees and roads around her, a puzzled expression on her face.

"No, we're the ones getting smaller." Sakura shielded Kuina behind her. "Is this your awakening ability, Hyena?"

"It's pretty good, but it's a bit troublesome to set up the scale lines in advance."

The hyena chuckled, its voice gentle: "Please, Admiral Kizaru, she cannot use any of her spatial abilities here."

"She's really good at ordering people around; this isn't even my task!"

Kizaru pulled both hands out of his pockets, and with his right fist clenched, drew a laser sword from his palm.

The next instant, a dazzling sword light flashed!

Sakura raised her Cloud Net to clash with Kizaru's Heavenly Cloud, and unseen waves erupted from where the blades met.

boom!

A tremendous explosion occurred!

The ground beneath their feet shattered into pieces, and they each retreated from the billowing smoke.

"It's been a long time, Miss Haruno. I've missed you dearly since we parted ways on Nikko Island!"

Kizaru stopped in mid-air and squinted as he looked down.

"How about I give you my Den Den Mushi number, and we can go out to a restaurant for a meal and drinks sometime?"

Sakura used her cloud-slinging technique to create a floating iron cloud, and sat on it with her legs crossed.

"While having dinner with a beautiful lady would be wonderful, Marshal Sengoku might dock my pay if I do that~"

Kizaru crossed his arms, as if holding up a mirror, reflecting himself back onto the body.

The channel made of light particles arrived in front of Sakura, and his shining legs rose up, approaching Sakura's head.

"Speaking of which, have you ever been kicked by light...?"

Under the warning of her Observation Haki, Sakura managed to cross her arms to the side to block the view.

After Kizaru's leg made contact with Sakura's arm, another violent explosion occurred.

The speed of light combined with the impact of the explosion left Sakura suspended in mid-air.

Kizaru then flew into the sky, his raised fingertips flashing with laser light.

Goodbye, Sakura Haruno!

A golden beam of light shot out, the violent light piercing through the air and piercing through Sakura, who had no way to avoid it.

However, no blood splattered from the girl's head that was pierced by the light; instead, it revealed a sight similar to a burst soap bubble.

His figure began to float and slowly dissolve into the air.

"Heat and Mirage Tower!"

Sakura's voice rang out, and beneath the ground, where the temperature fluctuated, a large amount of mist swirled.

Standing among them are countless Sakuras of varying heights, weights, and builds.

"Those tricks for kids won't work on me!"

Kizaru seemed oblivious to the large number of Sakuras; he had his hands in his pockets and maintained a leisurely expression.

With the spread of Observation Haki, mere illusions are no match for it.

Then... Kizaru froze in mid-air.

What do you mean by "all true"?

"Your abilities are quite complex!"

Kizaru spun the Heavenly Cloud Sword in his hands, and the laser sword instantly grew dozens of meters in length.

He took the massive sword, several meters long, and swung it forcefully at the numerous Sakura below.

Thud, thud, thud...

As the sword swept across, numerous clones exploded, and the billowing smoke enveloped the entire battlefield.

On the ground, amidst the surging smoke, suddenly came a flurry of dark thunder roaring.

The overwhelming burst of Conqueror's Haki shocked the entire audience, rendering all the Observation Haki that had been intertwined on the battlefield ineffective.

A figure tore through the smoke, stomped through the air several times, and suddenly rushed in front of Kizaru.

"It's better to be more complicated; it's less likely to be targeted!"

Sakura's hand, wrapped in Armament Haki, reached out and gripped Kizaru's arm tightly like an iron band.

"Oh, so how do you plan to target me now?"

Kizaru smiled and raised his other hand, light flickering between his fingers.

"There are two methods. The first is darkness with conflicting attributes..."

As Sakura spoke, Leviathan, hidden in the shadows beneath her, suddenly pounced out.

Kizaru spread his wings and scattered a large number of feathers in front of him.

"This is!"

Kizaru's eyes widened, and the wrinkles on his forehead were deep enough to trap a fly.

Is it that dead bird again?

However, the same trick won't work on him a second time!

Without a second thought, Kizaru suddenly held his breath, and the surrounding light dimmed instantly.

A mirror of light condensed on the back of the body, and the flashing light refracted out four or five times in an instant.
