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

"Hmm, two rare beasts? Interesting. Come back with me!"

The next instant, the four people in the sky simultaneously lost consciousness.

The enormous silhouette in the clouds opened its massive, tooth-like maw and swallowed it whole.

Chapter 204 Sexy Navy, Online Cherry Blossom Chasing

"Disappeared!!!"

In the royal palace of Albana, the current king, Neferutari Cobra, screamed, piercing the night sky. "Even Per?"

Standing before him was a man with loose, curly hair, whose eyebrows were also trembling, and who was constantly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

“Jaka has already sent people out to search. In the afternoon, soldiers saw Per use his ability to fly out of the palace, seemingly heading towards the rainy area.”

"Did they have an accident in the rain? Or are they bandits again?"

Hearing the man's words, Cobra frowned. "Icaram, I want to go to the Rainlands too!"

"No, Your Majesty!"

The Kingdom Guard Captain Icaram anxiously stood in front of Cobra.

With the Crown Prince and the deputy captain of the guard now missing, and if the King is also implicated, Alabasta could be in serious trouble.

Bubbling bubbling bubbling....

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, the Den Den Mushi in Ikaram's arms rang.

The two exchanged a glance, and Cobra snatched the Den Den Mushi and answered, "Hey Jaka, this is Cobra!"

"Your Majesty!" The panicked expression on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was reproduced.

"Stop talking nonsense, is there any trace of Vivi and Per?"

Cobra impatiently interrupted the other person and got straight to the point.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the residents of Rainland have reported seeing falcons landing."

The report brought them a slight sense of relief, but then their hearts tightened again.

"But there are also reports that they took off again very quickly, and were chased by a giant black bird!"

pat!

Cobra dropped the Den Den Mushi from his hand, his face pale, and stumbled back a few steps before collapsing onto the throne.

Unexpectedly, the enemy went so far as to hire a flying-type ability user to kidnap his daughter.

Such organized targeting suggests they have ill intentions!

Pirates? An empire? Or...?

Cobra's face was obscured by shadows. He glanced at the cross flag fluttering in the distance, then lowered his head in thought.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The Den Den Mushi on the ground hadn't hung up, and Jaka's voice continued to come through.

"We...zzzz...in the rain...news! Someone has spotted...zzzz...a great pirate!"

Upon hearing this, Icarus froze. The symbols of a great pirate and a giant black bird were too easy for him to associate with something else.

He anxiously urged the guards around him to bring the wanted posters, and after searching for a while, he picked out four wanted posters.

"Oh no, Your Majesty!"

The wanted poster was slapped in front of Cobra, and the series of zeros under the photo of the leading girl made Cobra's eyes go black.

"1.2 billion Berries?"

Cobra raised his hand to support his forehead, his brow furrowing. "We can't handle this. Notify the Navy immediately!"

In the dead of night, an urgent communication was sent from Alabasta directly to the Admiral's office at the Navy Headquarters.

Nefertari are not ordinary royalty; they are a race that had the opportunity to become Celestial Dragons eight hundred years ago.

To this day, it still maintains an ambiguous and unclear relationship with the top echelons of the world government.

Therefore, after the message was sent, it was urgently communicated to all naval bases around St. Ting Island.

The army assembled in an instant, but the highest-ranking officer leading the troops was somewhat troubled.

"Why would a pirate of this caliber come to Paradise instead of the New World?"

Leaning against the stairs of the warship, Vice Admiral Momousagi Gion of the Navy Headquarters sighed, "And they even kidnapped the royal family of Alabasta, forcing us to be ordered by Headquarters to do whatever it takes."

A tall, black-haired, blue-eyed female admiral dressed in a black short-sleeved shirt and leather pants walked up behind Gion. "I've heard that the Nefertari clan has a good reputation among the common people, so are these pirates a bunch of bad guys?"

"Dol, there are no good people among pirates."

Gion looked up and said, "Don't let that Saul guy influence your judgment."

"Hina strongly agrees with this."

A pink-haired female navy officer walked towards them, lit a cigarette, and put it in her mouth.

"Hmph! Hina, you bastard."

Dol snorted coldly, raised her hand to hook Hina's neck, and ruffled her hair. "I'm your boss."

"Stop fooling around, we're about to enter Alabasta, get ready!"

Gion's Observation Haki had already spotted St. Ting Island ahead, and she stood up and jumped to the bow of the ship.

On the other side, Sakura, carrying a full 370 million Berries out of the Rainy Day Gold Exchange, was in a great mood.

"Let's go to Tiger and get a foot massage!"

"..."

In the silence, Tiger looked down at his webbed feet, and a strange thought flashed through his mind.

—Do foot massage parlors have bath tubs suitable for his body size?

Tiger shuddered, shaking his head vigorously to banish the thought that he had unknowingly been assimilated by a certain pirate crew.

"I think I'll pass and save the money to get something better for those two kids."

Fisher Tiger smiled kindly.

Kind-hearted by nature, the first thing he thought of after receiving the huge sum of money was the children on the boat.

"Yeah, there's the Leviathan paint job and Kuina's sword, but..."

Sakura sidled up to Tiger and nudged his leg with her elbow. "We're going to be in Alabasta for several more days. It's a rare desert experience~, don't you really want to try it out?"

"I...."

Tiger was about to speak when a flurry of footsteps interrupted him.

A large number of military and police officers dressed in the uniforms of the Kingdom of Alabasta surrounded them, their guns and cannons ready to fire.

"Damn pirates, give the princess back!"

After a roar, the leading officer pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Intense flashes of fire, and a dense web of bullets and bombs crisscrossed the air.

"It's troublesome!"

Using her Observation Haki to scan the minds of the surrounding military and police, Sakura, realizing there was no room for maneuver, took action immediately, her chakra overflowing from her body.

Incredibly, a large amount of clear water suddenly spewed out of the arid desert and began to swirl around the two people.

——Water Escape·Water Formation Wall.

A rapidly spiraling vortex flowed out, spreading, expanding quickly, pushing the explosion back to the armed personnel while also sending them flying, creating a passage.

"Stop looking, run!"

Sakura gently kicked Fisher Tiger's shin, waking the dazed fishman.

The two of them ran as fast as they could from the main street into the alleyway, a weak point in the encirclement.

Unfortunately, Fisher Tiger's tall figure was far too conspicuous in Alabasta, a country where the average height is less than 1.7 meters.

"Higanbana, Haruno Sakura, surrender now!"

A clear female voice roared down from the sky as Gion, carrying a long sword, arrived in the Rain Land after a long journey.

Upon seeing Fisher Tiger, he drew his sword without hesitation and unleashed a series of sword strikes from the sky upon Sakura.

"Hmm, these naval brutes, are they planning to start a war with me right here in the city?"

Sakura pinched the Flying Thunder God kunai between her fingers and threw it forcefully towards the direction outside the city.

Then, she grabbed Fisher Tiger with one hand.

Amidst the low hum of time and space shattering, Sakura and Tiger vanished from Gion's sight.

Upon seeing her target disappear, Gion had no choice but to temporarily withdraw her power, crashing to the ground and destroying a tall building.

"Damn it, don't even think about running away!"

Chapter 205 Breaking into the Palace

The rainy land leads to the outskirts of Arubana, where Sakura helps Tiger escape the city using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Gion guessed right, you really are trying to find the royal family again!"

Wearing a collar around her neck and a skull belt around her waist, Dol charged toward Sakura.

A domineering aura emanated from his arm, and a sharp finger gun sliced ​​through the air, aiming to strike the two men.

—Fingergun and Coptis chinensis!

"Don't think about it!"

Tiger raised his arm and slammed his fist, tinged with Armament Haki, down with a backhand strike.

Due to the arid desert environment, he had difficulty drawing upon the sparse water molecules in the air, so he relied on his own strength to contend with Dol's finger gun.

—Fishman Karate: Samewa Seiken!

The fishman unleashed his wrist strength, producing a powerful, resounding boom.

The two attacks made brief contact, and the resulting shockwaves sent all the surrounding marines flying.

Bang!

Dol was no match for Tiger, and in the ensuing struggle, he was sent flying and crashed into Hina, who was chasing after him.

Seeing that the outcome was decided, Sakura called out to Tiger, "Let's go, Tiger!"

"stop!"

Lying on the ground, Dol struggled to lift his head: "Why would you, who was willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with my superior to save the scholars of Ohara back then, do something like this now! Have you fallen!"

"So it turns out he's an old friend's subordinate."

Sakura's forward momentum faltered, and she turned to look at her. "Whether you believe it or not, the kidnapping of the Alabasta princess has nothing to do with me!"

After she finished speaking, her eyes narrowed.

The burning will transformed into an overwhelming aura, spreading outwards. The Conqueror's Haki brutally swept away all wavering consciousness and inner turmoil, then resounded high-pitchedly towards everyone's soul.

The chill caused the once determined naval soldiers to faint instantly.

Sakura and Tiger also ran quickly towards Arubana, the capital of Alabasta.

On the way, I grabbed a house crab to use for getting there.

Sakura, sitting atop the crab's head, turned to Tiger and asked, "Have you contacted Kuina and Leviathan yet?"

Tiger shrugged helplessly and showed the unresponsive Den Den Mushi to Sakura.

"Rainy Land, the missing princess, and two of our people are gone too..."

Sakura quickly pieced together the chaotic information, trying to find clues within it.

To defeat Leviathan and Kuina without triggering a battle that Sakura could sense with her Observation Haki is something that not everyone can do.
