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

Then, he transformed into light particles and traveled through the passageways.

Running out of the passage again, and after regaining his form, he was once again greeted by the beautiful face of the pink-haired girl with a radiant smile.

"Varied...."

"The second type is refraction, which can change the trajectory of light!"

Sakura's hand swept across the void, and countless mirages, created by the influence of thermal circulation on air density, revealed their shapes.

Behind her, Leviathan was poised to strike, its folded wings straightening as it shot out like an arrow.

While Kizaru was still stunned, it rushed into his body at the speed of spreading shadows.

Instantly, pure darkness slowly seeped inward, its countless threads intertwining and transforming into an invisible net.

—The Lockdown: Apocalypse!

The vibrant state of light was solidified by darkness, and then condensed between waves and particles into a substance of indeterminate state.

Kizaru fell silent as a result, plummeting straight down from mid-air and crashing to the ground, kicking up dust.

"Success?"

Sakura smiled as she looked at Leviathan struggling to escape from his yellow and white striped suit.

"Well, but he can't control it for long. He's already using his Haki to expel the ability!"

Furthermore, external attacks will accelerate his process of stabilizing his condition.

Leviathan flapped its wings and flew up, landing on Sakura's shoulder.

"Alright, leave this guy alone, hurry up and take care of the CP guys, then get out of here!"

The two men turned their guns around and charged toward another battlefield.

In the distance, Fisher Tiger had dozens of wounds of varying sizes on his body.

Behind him, Kuina had also been defeated early on, lying unconscious on the ground with blood streaming from her forehead.

The hyena waved its arms like a conductor leading an orchestra.

"Fischer Tiger, to be honest, I admire you and that spider lily. Liberation and freedom, what beautiful words."

The hyena walked up to Tiger, grabbed his chin with one hand, and lifted him up.

"Unfortunately, this world is ultimately realistic. Your freedom is worthless in the face of the World Government, so just accept your fate of defeat!"

The hyena raised its finger, and Armament Haki enveloped its fingertip, turning it black.

Just as he was about to pierce Tiger's heart, two figures fell from the sky and crashed in front of him.

A gust of wind carrying smoke and dust ruffled the girl's hair, and a bright face appeared before him.

The hyena felt a chill run down its spine. Remembering the solemn promise Kizaru had made to it before the battle, its face turned pale and then red.

—Kizaru, are you a mole? Is this how you're acting against me?

Chapter 187 Surprise or not?

"I'm sorry... Sakura, I didn't... protect Kuina."

Fisher Tiger, who was lying on the ground, trembled as he sat up and grabbed Sakura's trouser leg.

"Don't worry, leave the rest to us."

Sakura lightly tapped Leviathan's head with her finger, and upon receiving the signal, she immediately stepped forward and took Tiger and Kuina away.

Then, under the hyena's trembling gaze, Sakura took a step forward.

The cloud-shaped sword in his hand was imbued with domineering aura, and the surging cloud-shaped giant sword was given a jet-black color.

"Hey, wait...wait!"

The hyena waved its arms and retreated continuously.

Are you suggesting he fight the guy in front of him right now?

Don't joke around, someone could die!

"Alright, I'll give you a chance to say your last words!"

Sakura gripped the hilt of the Cloud Sword tightly, as massive and violent lightning bolts crisscrossed between the swords.

The effect of imbuing form with Yang Release chakra allows Sakura to freely control these lightning bolts, gradually giving rise to the outlines of ferocious beasts.

"Then you better watch out!"

The hyena reached into its coat and pulled out a figurine.

Under the influence of his power, the figure gradually enlarged, eventually transforming into a wounded Arlong!

"Huh, how did I get here? Damn it, who are you?!"

Upon regaining consciousness, Ah Long immediately struggled and opened his mouth to bite the hyena that was holding him.

However, the next second, a fist adorned with Armament Haki slammed into his face, breaking his nose and teeth in the process, and he lost consciousness.

"Surrender, or I'll kill him! And those fish-men in the outer sea will be executed too!"

With Ah Long in front of him, the hyena slowly approached Sakura.

Before him, the girl's face was obscured by shadows, and her shoulders trembled.

After a long silence, a clear laugh broke the stillness.

"Pfft, hahahaha," Sakura brushed her bangs aside with her hand, raising her sword-wielding hand behind her back, "Are you using a hostage to threaten a pirate?"

"Why?! Isn't this guy your comrade?!"

The hyena's eyes were bloodshot, and it gripped Ah Long's hand even tighter.

"This guy said he was going to kill me and steal my ship a few days ago."

Sakura pointed at Arlong, and Leviathan on her shoulder let out a mocking cry.

"How exactly did you manage to pick him out of so many people?"

Hearing the girl's disappointed tone, the hyena's heart skipped a beat.

How was he chosen? Of course, it's because he was the most cocky when the murlocs were defeated!

I thought that someone who could be so arrogant must be an important person, so I just took him along to use as a threat.

But to his utter surprise, this fishman gave him such a big surprise.

"Stop! I still have..."

The hyena took a step back, its face contorted in a ferocious expression.

"Enough talk, just die!"

Pure killing intent converged, gathering on the blade to form a resounding, domineering aura.

For example, a hoarse roar of thunder resounded, and in that instant, a giant sword wrapped in lightning slashed down.

The dazzling spear, so bright it was impossible to look directly at, pierced the heavens and the earth, engulfing the world with its blazing light that could incinerate everything.

—The Mighty Kingdom's Blazing Sword!

A storm suddenly arose, terrifying heat rose into the sky, the earth melted into lava, the surrounding scale lines evaporated and collapsed, and the field of vision gradually magnified before finally returning to normal size.

As the smoke cleared, looking at the mess in the basin, Sakura stretched with satisfaction, "Finally, it's over."

"Are you tired, Miss? But I'm not planning to stop here yet~"

In the distance, the hyena, now reduced to only its left half, stood up mechanically and stiffly, letting out a distressed sigh.

"You're still alive in this state? You're also a member of the Knights of God?"

Sakura gripped the Cloud Shield tightly, watching the man in front of her warily.

"That's really rude of me. I'm not one of those adults."

The hyena's remains were oozing a white, gelatinous substance, and soon another man's face struggled to emerge from the severed wound.

"Before I could introduce myself, I am the Chief of CP0, codename—Deepsea!"

The man freed himself from the hyena's mangled body and walked gracefully forward: "My purpose in being here is simple; I need to deliver a message from the central command to you."

"A message?"

Sakura raised an eyebrow, noticing out of the corner of her eye that the corpse lying on the ground was covered in spores and decomposing within the continuously forming fungal cells.

Deep Sea raised his hand to his chest and bowed deeply to Sakura. "The adults in the Central Government have extended an invitation to you, hoping that you can become one of them."

"The Central... Celestial Dragons?"

Sakura's voice held a hint of surprise; only Celestial Dragons could be addressed as "adult" by the CP0 Chief.

But those Celestial Dragons, having nothing better to do than invite a pirate, especially one who stormed the Holy Land and humiliated them.

It can't be... just because you're good-looking, right?

"The arrangements for your family lineage have also been made. It is the Izanbaron family, Izanbaron V. Haruno Sakuramiya."

Shen Hai's tone was flat, as if he were stating a given fact.

In this world, no country or individual can resist what the central government wants to accomplish.

This is the power of order that has governed the world for over eight hundred years!

"What an awful name! Don't change my name like that, I have parents!"

This condescending tone enraged Sakura, causing her to angrily draw her sword.

The blade flashed and disappeared in an instant, slicing open Shenhai's body along with a large grove of trees behind him.

Despite being cut in half at the waist, the upper demigod, lying on the ground, could still speak: "So, what is your answer?"

"Who would want to become that kind of trash? Just how much do you think your world government wants to despise me?!"

Sakura's eyes narrowed, and countless dark lightning bolts surged within them.

The will of a conqueror burns, forging a tyrannical aura.

This force stretches for thousands of miles, constantly unleashing terrifying impacts upon the world.

"What a pity, I was really looking forward to working with you."

The deep sea sighed, and its body began to wither, like a dead plant.

"By the way, since you haven't joined the government, I can't let those enemies go either."

Deep Sea raised his hand, which was about to break, and snapped his fingers. The energy fluctuations spread, causing Sakura's pupils to shrink.

"You bastard, what are you doing?"

Deep Sea burst into laughter, "Exploding slime mold!"

boom!

In the distance of the island, numerous explosions could be heard.

Leviathan's belly suddenly swelled up, and flames flashed inside.

"Sakura~, something terrible has happened, Kuina and the others..."

Upon hearing Leviathan's voice, a terrible thought immediately surfaced in Sakura's mind.

"I've heard you're a renowned physician by the sea; you must be quite skilled at treating such a large number of patients..."

Click!

Sakura stomped on the face of the deep sea, and the extreme high temperature generated by her power scorched the ground, melting a layer of the earth beneath it.

Sakura used her Observation Haki to scan the area, ensuring that not a single tiny spore remained, and quickly led Leviathan towards the shore.

"CP0, I've taken note of what happened today!"

Chapter 188 The End

The afterglow of the setting sun drifts down, and the sound of the tide echoes in the distance.

The coastline of Forchart Island was filled with smoke, and the naval and government agents who were detaining the fish people were also caught in the explosion.
