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

The boat spirit, wearing a raincoat, sat down beside the two, stroking its chin as it summarized.

"Wait, they're not done yet!"

With his sharp eyes, Fisher Tiger noticed the unusual movement in the dust.

On the broken reef, three figures still stand in confrontation.

"Whoosh! Snow White Martial Body!"

The girl exhaled a light puff of white mist, and the extremely cold temperature suddenly spread.

The crumbling island slowly came to a standstill, and from a sliver of light flowing beneath the deep sea, frost spread unchecked.

It was as if a hand casually pressed the stop button when the self-destruct mechanism was activated—the button that determined the fate of the island.

As Sakura moved, the solid ice in the sea squeezed the soil and rocks.

Then, she formed hand seals, and the flames formed by chakra danced together with the particles of frost.

—Wood Release: Yang Tree Kunze!

Without using any offensive techniques, it simply consumed a large amount of chakra to create a large number of Yang Tree Eve vines at the intersection of the collapsed island frame, forcibly mending the island that was being destroyed.

"Crackling sounds...cough cough, it's just like the legendary gods who created the world."

Broki, his leather armor shattered and his skin covered in wounds of all sizes, coughed up a mouthful of blood while laughing.

"Kaka kaka kaka, being able to fight against a warrior like this makes the trip worthwhile!"

Dongli, who was about to wipe the blood off his face, accidentally touched his helmet, and the iron helmet shattered.

In the clash just now, their weapons were destroyed by the combined attack of the Overlord and Sakura's counterattack.

The two giants' armor was completely destroyed, and they had accumulated countless injuries inside their bodies.

However, his high fighting spirit was not diminished in the slightest by the physical pain and the mental desperation he was driven to.

As long as they can still move, they will fight to the last moment.

They lived up to the name of Elbaf warriors.

"Can I still fight?"

Amidst the distant roar of the storm, Sakura, now completely white, asked with a loud laugh.

With a single step, a flawless white ribbon swept across the ground, instantly transforming the earth into a snow kingdom.

"Stay with me to the end!"

Blood splattered from the two giants, yet they straightened their massive bodies once more and fiercely swung their fists.

Sakura did not disappoint them; she leaped high into the air, her fist radiating icy energy.

—Fishman Karate: Secret Technique - Muraikan!

The intense, domineering aura swept across the frost, almost transforming into a gigantic shark that would devour the two of them.

"No, we're going to lose if this continues!"

Broki's eyes narrowed, and he made a decision.

He grabbed Dongli from behind by the shoulder and slammed him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.

Then he stood up and spread his hands to block Dongli's view.

"Cough, Brogy, you bastard!"

After Dongli smashed a huge crater in the ground, he finally managed to pull his head out of the ground, only to see Dongli face-first from the impact.

Click!

As the frost spread and the friction of the growing ice filled the air, Broki was completely transformed into an ice sculpture.

"hateful!"

Dorry roared, carrying the will his friends had placed in him, and punched Sakura in mid-air.

However, the floating Sakura Moon took a step.

He skillfully dodged the imminent danger thanks to his Observation Haki.

Immediately afterward, with a sharp sound of fists scraping against the air, Dongli also collapsed, turning into an ice sculpture.

Thus, the two leaders of the Giant Warrior Pirates were completely defeated by Sakura.

.

.

"Well..."

In a daze, Brogy opened his eyes.

A campfire burned in front of him, his body was wrapped in bandages, and the faint scent of flowers could be smelled in the air.

—Were they let off the hook? They didn't even take the lives of me and Dongli, the two losers.

"I had a great time. After killing you two, where am I going to find such interesting opponents?"

Sakura sat cross-legged beside the campfire, throwing firewood into it, with her crew behind her.

“…”

Brogy remained silent, then raised his hand and touched his face.

Was his expression too obvious, wearing his heart on his sleeve?

"No, you're overthinking it. I can hear your thoughts simply because my Observation Haki is quite special."

“…”

Brogy fell silent again, took a deep breath to calm himself, and looked around for Dorry's figure.

"Don't worry, Dongli is fine. As for the duel between the two of you, you win!"

Sakura, feeling a bit lazy after the fight, casually pointed to Tori, who was lying next to her.

"why?"

Brogy was startled and turned around abruptly.

"Because you recovered faster than him!"

Sakura shrugged casually.

In their nearly century-long duel, the two men remained evenly matched in terms of physical strength, swordsmanship, domineering aura, and other factors that determine the course of the battle.

After exhausting all possibilities, all that's left to compete on is their recovery ability.

Brogy gritted his teeth, "Just because I woke up earlier than him? That's ridiculous!"

"No, Brogy, you won!"

Dongli slowly opened his eyes, trying to sit up but wincing in pain.

"Whether it's your resilience or your willingness to sacrifice yourself to create opportunities for victory in the previous battle, it has already proven that your desire to win is far stronger than mine!"

Lying on the ground, he grabbed Brogy's hand and raised it high. "Sixty-eight thousand four hundred and fifty-two duels, sixty-eight thousand four hundred and fifty-one draws, and one victory. Congratulations, Brogy!"

The nearly century-long struggle has finally come to an end today. The two giants exchanged a glance, dissolving all the unpleasantness caused by the conflict into smiles.

"So, what are your plans next?"

"Our weapons and equipment have all been destroyed, so we need to go back to Elbaf to recuperate and resupply," Donley said. "We also need to find our scattered comrades at sea and rebuild the Giant Warrior Pirates!"

Brogy grinned: "We'll definitely be stronger than we are now, and then we'll challenge you again. Don't let your guard down and get defeated, young giant!"

"Hahaha, if you can do it, then come on!"

Sakura raised her hand and clenched it tightly, a violent force surging between her five fingers, as if a storm was gathering within it.

Everything is over, so it is indeed time to say goodbye.

The departure of pirates needs no further explanation; as long as they sail on this sea, they will one day be propelled back by the ocean currents.

So—let's set sail!

Chapter 202 Alabasta, the Desert Kingdom

"Ugh, so ugly!"

silence.

A brief and awkward silence ensued.

Kuina's expression twitched, and she looked up to ask, "With a captain like that, can we really sail to the New World?"

“…”

Sakura guiltily looked away. "You can still tell it's a boat, right? As long as it works, what more could you ask for?"

Before them, a wooden ship with a huge ram carried two giants, bobbing up and down with the waves of the sea.

Since Elbaf is located deep within the New World, even giants could not swim back there on their bare hands.

In addition, the small garden had just been destroyed in a battle between several people, and most of the dense forest above it was now unusable.

Therefore, while using Wood Release to restore the island's ecology, Sakura also planted a giant Yang Tree, hundreds of meters tall, in the center.

After Leviathan, along with Donley and Brogy, cut it down, they built a large ship based on Leviathan's own structure.

Although the craftsmanship isn't great, the materials used are the best, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, they should be enough to keep the two giants going until Elbaf.

As the ship sailed out of the small garden and they were about to go their separate ways, Sakura asked the question that had been bothering her: "By the way, during the clash between the two powerful nations, why was my Haki torn apart by you?"

Even though Sakura appears to have won the battle for supremacy, the subsequent loss of control over her power that shattered the island frame of Little Garden was essentially due to the collapse of the Haki that she was imbuing with her attacks, leading to a power leak.

Although Sakura won in the end, she admitted that she was not as skilled as her opponent in some areas.

Brogy opened his mouth, as if to say something but then stopped, and said, "If you ask me why, I actually want to ask you how you did it too."

“Elbaf Spear: Overlord is a combination technique; it requires a clash of wills between two people to create an entanglement of Haki in order to unleash it.” Dorry scratched his head and walked towards the bulwark. “But yours…”

The move that originally required two people to use was now executed by one person using their own abilities, and what's worse, it was even more powerful than the move by both of them.

Isn't this equivalent to stepping on your right foot with your left foot and flying into the sky, and even flying faster than someone who steps on air?

—That's outrageous!

"Is the key the will of the two people...?"

After listening to the two of them, Sakura stroked her chin and pondered.

According to Dongli and the others, if they wanted their own kingdom to be filled with the same domineering aura that could destroy everything, the two of them had to join forces.

"But where can I find someone who can help me conquer the world?"

"We don't know, good luck!"

The two giants exchanged a glance, grinned, shrugged gloatingly, and sent the massive ship hurtling into the boundless blue sea.

Tsk, you two old rascals, next time we meet I'll definitely pin you both to the floor and beat you up!

"Let's go, let's set off!"

Sakura sat at the bow of the Leviathan, in her VIP seat, and waved to the crew behind her.

Soon, a bubble-like coating covered the ship, enveloping it as it submerged into the seabed.

.

.

"Speaking of which, no magnetic force was stored in the small garden before."

Tiger, who was at the bow and steering wheel, raised his hand and looked at the hands on his wristband that were spinning wildly. "So, where are we going now?"

"Of course, we're going to Alabasta."

Sakura gestured to Kuina, asking her to bring out the bunch of permanent pointers she had previously stolen from the bounty hunters at Whiskey Peak.

Pick out the one marked Alabasta from the pointers pointing to the ground and toss it to Tiger.

The main reason they planned to go to this desert country was because it was the largest population center on the Grand Line, and its thriving commercial environment would allow them to exchange the looted treasure for Berries.

"By the way, I'd like to see the historical texts preserved there!"
