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

As for its healing effects, you can take it back and verify it at your leisure.

Jinbe carefully examined the test tube, then pulled open his shirt and tucked it into the inside pocket of his sleeve. "I will relay this matter to His Majesty Neptune exactly as it was!"

After saying that, he stood up and walked out of his temporary residence, the sound of his wooden clogs echoing on the ground.

.

.

Three days later, Fishman Island, Fishman Street!

"Hmph, that brat, can't even find a decent place to greet us? How pathetic!"

The blond old man floated in mid-air, arms crossed, complaining.

Behind him, Hody Jones, a fishman who had returned from his duty in the Dragon Palace, noticed his face.

Almost immediately, he recognized the world-famous pirate in front of him—Shiki the Golden Lion!

"What a great opportunity!"

Hody Jones stared at the coating encasing Shiki. If he could just break through that thing, he could take the head of this 2.7 billion bounty pirate!

His muscles began to swell, and the next second he shot out at the extremely high swimming speed of a fish-man in the water.

He raised the steel fork belonging to the Fish-Man Island Dragon Palace guard high, about to pierce Shiki's barrier.

However, Shiki, who was in front of him, simply turned his body slightly to the side and then loosely clenched his arms.

"The malicious thoughts are almost as loud as cannon fire. Remember to be careful before you launch a sneak attack next time!"

Shiki's cold gaze swept over Hody Jones, and his hand clenched tightly.

——Shishiwei·Royal Palace Volume!

The surrounding seawater suddenly erupted, as if an invisible giant hand was squeezing Hody Jones.

Even though the fish-man's skin and bone structure could withstand the pressure created by the fruit, it still made a sound that could not be sustained, and finally its whole body exploded.

This blatant intimidation caused the surrounding fishmen to lower their gazes, and none of them dared to cast greedy glances at him anymore.

"Wow, that was ruthless, you old lion!"

Sakura, surrounded by iron clouds, stepped into the end of the street.

"Hmph, it's all because you chose this lousy place!"

Shiki tossed his now-flowing blond hair and snorted coldly.

"You're the one who arrived early, and you're blaming me for it!"

Sakura shook her head and stood in the very center of Fishman Town, forming hand seals.

Wood Release chakra surged skyward recklessly, and wherever it passed, roses silently grew from the deep sea.

Gradually, the vines spread haphazardly, enveloping the entire Fishman Street, revealing their ferocious outlines that plunder life from the pure white petals.

The criminals hiding there initially tried to resist, but after being drained of their life force by four or five, they swarmed out of Fishman Street and ran into the traps set by the soldiers of the Dragon Palace outside, who arrested them one by one.

"The venue setup is almost complete! Next up is... the air."

Satisfied with witnessing all of this, Sakura snapped her fingers.

Countless white roses began to spew out mangrove resin, and soon a huge coating appeared above Fishman Street, which was then dehydrated by the injection of air.

Previously, to avoid too many powerful individuals entering Fishman Island and causing chaos, Sakura had chosen Fishman Town as the meeting place.

Firstly, this area is an illegal zone on Fishman Island, so any problems here won't affect the main island. Secondly, it's also a good opportunity to clear away the resentment that the Neptunes are hiding here, so as to prevent a tragedy from happening in the future.

With a wave of her hand, the ever-growing trees had already built a huge and exquisite hall. Sakura gestured for Shiki to enter.

"That's pretty much it."

Shiki lit a cigar for himself and walked in, puffing out smoke.

Afterwards, the people invited by Sakura gradually arrived at Fishman Town and entered the hall.

The Revolutionary Army delegation included Dragon, Ivankov, and Kuma; the giant mercenary group Oimo and Kashi, along with ten accompanying giants; Germa's Commander-in-Chief Vinsmoke Judge and the Germa army; the Fish-Man Right Minister of War from Ryugu Castle; and Aladdin, the vice-captain of the Fish-Man Pirates...

Finally, there was one more person who unexpectedly came to them through Germa's information channels.

That's the man who has recently risen to fame in the underworld, and also the head of the Guran gang—Gild Tezzolo!

After hearing about Sakura's proposed pharmaceutical business, he became very interested in it. Due to some past reasons, he was willing to invest in buying 40% of Sakura's medicine reserves, which greatly alleviated her current cash flow problem.

Inside the hall, looking at the assembled forces, Sakura sat in the main seat without hesitation.

"Alright everyone, let's discuss the specific plans for attacking Punk Hazard, an island under the World Government's control!"

Chapter 232 Battle of Punk Hazard

At the end of 1512 in the Sea Calendar, in the New World Punk Hazard.

Under the bright sky, Punk Hazard, before it was turned into a forbidden zone by Caesar Clown's poison gas weapons, was still a vibrant island.

The soldiers on duty lit a cigarette and slowly exhaled smoke rings.

This is his fifth year stationed here, and he doesn't know how his wife and child, who was born three years ago, are doing now.

Before he could finish his cigarette, the sea in the distance suddenly trembled.

Countless chaotic currents pushed up the calm sea surface; such chaotic sea conditions should have been commonplace in the New World.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that the soldier did not see the sea tear open, revealing a fleet that resembled a dense forest!

Amazing! How could there be something like this underwater?!

Isn't this an island belonging to the World Government? How could any pirates be so audacious as to come and attack it?

The soldier's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, but he still faithfully completed his mission and sounded the alarm on the island.

At that moment, along with the alarm, the sound of cannons roared.

Burning steel coalesced into a beam, bursting forth from the pirate ship amidst the mist, like a shooting star streaking across the sky.

It brutally shattered the obstacles in its path, leaving irreparable cracks in the crisscrossing defensive fortifications.

“Oh, Germa’s cannons are amazing,” Sakura exclaimed, looking through binoculars at the situation on Punk Hazard Island from one of the gunboats.

Although the artillery was powerful, Gaji refused to send his own fleet and cyborg army after hearing that they were going to attack the islands under the government's jurisdiction.

Left with no other choice, Sakura had to ask someone to salvage a batch of sunken ships around Fishman Island, which Germa was responsible for modifying, and the Revolutionary Army members who were supporting them were responsible for driving and operating them.

"Purchasing all the ammunition would be quite expensive, wouldn't it?"

A gust of wind blew by, and Dragon's figure appeared behind Sakura.

A slightly regretful gaze swept over the three people below the fleet: Sabo, Klar, and Kuina, who were fiddling with the cannons. The 300mm caliber ship-mounted cannons were a luxury item that even their revolutionary army couldn't afford to buy, and now they were being casually given to three children to play with.

Many revolutionary soldiers were also very envious. They had been involved in the revolution for so many years, but they had never fought such a rich battle.

"It's alright, we bought them to use them, don't worry about the shells, I have plenty of money!"

Sakura waves her hand, earning money by selling special healing potions, and then commands the entire fleet to unleash a barrage of cannon fire.

In any case, in this chaotic world, her Wood Release healing agent and universal blood plasma will definitely sell well. Tesoro, Judge, and Doflamingo saw this and that's why they agreed to become distributors in exchange for supporting this war.

At this moment, the Punk Hazard garrison on the island finally recovered from the shock and began to request assistance from the surrounding naval bases. The Den Den Mushi's communication psychic waves reached G5 Branch, the closest naval base to the Red Line and the largest branch base in the New World.

But less than three seconds after the call connected, a loud clang of a sword was heard, followed by an explosion, and the Den Den Mushi was instantly disconnected.

"Oh my, Mr. Sengoku was right. She would send someone to intercept the G5 branch."

On the top floor of the research institute, Aokiji, lying on a beach chair, lifted a corner of his blindfold and looked at Garp with a mocking expression.

"Hmph, it's just a month's supply of donuts, I'll just lose to him!"

Garp snorted coldly, walked out of the laboratory door, and leaped towards the naval fleet hidden behind the island.

Aokiji shook his head, stood up with the handrail, and followed Garp.

From the turbulent blue sea, the engines of countless naval vessels roared to life, and the naval fleet quickly split up. One part sailed out from the port behind the island, meandering along the ocean currents, and encircled the pirate ships emerging from the surface from the outer edge of the Punk Hazard sea.

Boom boom boom——!

From the gun barrels of the naval vessels, a violent light, as fierce as the blazing sun, shone forth, and a scorching wind swept outwards, instantly spreading in all directions.

The counterattack arrived instantly, and many of Sakura's ships were hit by cannon fire, which ignited the ammunition stored on board, causing violent explosions.

"Aren't you going to order them to evacuate?"

As Dragon watched the pirate ships sink one by one, he couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

"They're all wrecked ships soaked in water. If you want the weapons on board, you'll have to contact the Fishmen to salvage them yourselves." Sakura waved her hand, then looked at Punk Hazard.

Having no shortage of money, she didn't feel much regret about these already dilapidated ships. Her previous concentrated bombardment had already achieved its purpose of replacing Punk Hazard's coastal defenses and forcing out the hidden naval warships.

As for the remaining weapons and ammunition, they were all intended to support the revolutionary army's work. After all, since they had come to help out of kindness, it would be impolite to let them go back empty-handed.

Dragon, who was standing nearby, was overjoyed to hear Sakura's words. He used the Revolutionary Army's Den Den Mushi to contact the soldiers and have them evacuate with ships loaded with weapons. He could come back and make a fortune after the war ended.

—What a bumper harvest! The boss is so generous!

"However, the fact that the navy can still assemble a fleet after suffering such heavy losses at Enies Lobby shows that the navy is indeed the number one power on the seas!"

After a sigh, Sakura took out her Den Den Mushi (a small communication device) from her pocket, dialed a number, and ordered, "Let's do it, Enel!"

Above the sky, the Leviathan, floating in the clouds using the Proverb 'Despair' power system, completed the connection of its weapon systems under Enel's control.

"Hahaha, let them see your power, baby!"

Enel stroked the lever, which gleamed with a dark metallic sheen, with fascination, and pulled it down forcefully.

The bow and sides of the composite speedboat suddenly jolted, and dozens of shipborne machine guns extended out. After a few brief bursts of fire to adjust their accuracy, the machine guns roared and opened fire at full power!

The entire ship began to shake violently, and the 'Despair' propulsion system was running at full speed to counteract the recoil from the salvo of machine gun fire. Thunderclouds spewing from the smokestacks had begun to gradually cover the entire sea area.

The sailors on the warships had no time to pay attention to the sudden change in weather, because a metallic storm of intense light was raining down from the sky. Several warships disintegrated the moment they were hit by the barrage. Not to mention retaliating against the warships in the sky, even transmitting orders to the various fleets had become extremely difficult.

All that could be seen were the steel meteors flashing with flames, and all that could be heard was the deafening roar.

"asshole!"

Witnessing the heavy casualties suffered by the Navy, Garp gritted his teeth, his body enveloped in Armament Haki, and immediately used Moonwalk to rush into the sky.

Unfortunately, he had barely taken off when he was targeted by the Leviathan in the sky.

The continuous barrage of metal bullets struck Garp's body, making clanging sounds. They tore his suit apart, rapidly depleted his domineering aura, and also gave him a strange smell.

"Wait, this is... a thermite incendiary bomb?!"

With a face turning ashen, Garp struggled to turn around, trying to warn the naval fleet behind him to retreat.

"Haha, you noticed? But it's too late!"

Sakura jumped off the boat, stepped onto the sea surface, and put her arms into the water.

The device releases heat, reaching temperatures of several thousand degrees Celsius. This heat is absorbed by the metal on the surface of the cartridge case, accelerating the reaction of the internal chemical materials, triggering a violent explosion, and generating an ultra-high temperature incandescent flame that covers a large area.

In Garp and Aokiji's constricted pupils, a burst of intense light shot into the sky.

boom--!

Chapter 233 Beach Landing Operation

"Hey, hey, hey, this is no joke!"

The high temperature caused a bead of sweat to trickle down Kuzan's forehead.

Before he could tighten the encirclement, the fleet blocking his way from the rear was almost completely burned.

Forced to relinquish his command duties to his adjutant, he jumped into the sea and sped towards the inferno directly in front of him.

Ice Age!

A chilling cold spread rapidly, freezing the burning flames along with the extreme cold.

The surging sea came to a standstill, and the cold light emanating from Kuzan's hand turned everything pure white.

"Ah, here they come, Kuzan!"

With her hands tucked into her half-open light pink trench coat, Sakura smiled and turned around.

"Sakura Haruno, you bastard, you're too much of a threat! We can't let you continue to exist!" Kuzan frowned and waved his hand coldly. "Today, I'm sending you to Impel Down!"
