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

"As for my purpose, I think I made a mistake while crossing the world and unexpectedly met you all."

With her fists clenched against her chest, Sakura Haruno took a deep breath and truthfully recounted her situation.

After all, the man in front of her possessed the highest level of Observation Haki in the entire world; lying to him would be tantamount to courting death.

"Wow! Another world, and ninjas too!"

"Haha, as expected, sailing on this vast sea always brings exciting encounters!"

Roger stood before him like a big boy who had discovered a toy, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"that...."

Taking a few deep breaths, Sakura Haruno jumped off the bed.

The girl met Roger's gaze with her emerald eyes and made her request.

"Could you... let me join you?"

"Huh? Okay!"

"Eh?"

Chapter 2 I haven't even gotten on the bus yet? Never mind, I won't! (Please add to your favorites)

"No, this won't do!"

On the deck of the USS Al Jackson.

The blond man with glasses and a long sword at his waist shook his head and refused.

"This child looks to be only six years old. Are you going to turn the ship into an orphanage, Roger?"

The blond man was Roger's second-in-command—Silbaz Reilly.

He reached up and unbuttoned his collar, crossed his arms, and glared at Roger.

"But Sakura is a ninja!"

Roger lifted Sakura Haruno up by her arms, like a child begging his mother to adopt a small animal.

"Ninja techniques are so cool, aren't they?"

Seeing his captain acting willfully again, Rayleigh looked like he had a stomachache.

God knows how much trouble it caused when they found baby Shanks in the treasure pile and Roger defied all opposition to keep him.

A bunch of bachelors who've never even been with a woman are supposed to take care of a baby? Don't make a fool of yourself.

Who knows how much effort Rayleigh poured into Shanks's transformation into a handsome young man?

After all, Roger, that bastard, only needed to fight outside, while he, the first mate in charge of logistics, had to consider many other things.

With a deep sigh, Rayleigh walked up to Sakura Haruno and knelt down.

His gaze met the girl's with a chilling intensity, a sharp glint flashing across his glasses, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.

“Roger, children are not suited to sail with us, let alone a girl.”

"What's wrong with the girl? She's a girl..."

Roger was about to speak when Rayleigh raised his hand and covered his mouth.

"You were the one who told Roger you wanted to join us, right? Why?"

Rayleigh, who already had a deep understanding of his old partner, immediately guessed the key to the matter.

As a top-tier powerhouse on the high seas, he, who also possesses the qualities of a king, unleashed his domineering aura.

His sharp eyes, peering through his glasses, were fixed on Sakura Haruno in front of him.

Roger, already a legendary pirate, was naturally a thorn in the side of countless people.

Sending children to carry out assassinations is a common practice on this high seas.

If Sakura Haruno acts strangely or shows any sign of guilt under his domineering presence.

Then the vice-captain of this legendary pirate crew will let her know why she has earned the title of Dark King.

"Because...because I also want to witness the vastness of this sea!"

Stunned by Rayleigh's Conqueror's Haki, a somewhat dazed Sakura Haruno voiced her heartfelt longing.

——Why!

Why should an ordinary person with no bloodline be relegated to the background everywhere?

His past life was unremarkable, ridiculed in the ninja world... and perhaps in the future, he may be swallowed by the waves.

In these diverse and wonderful worlds, none of them are willing to prepare a place for ordinary people.

Then she will fight for it!

From the moment she met Roger for the second time, Sakura Haruno made up her mind to seize every opportunity to become stronger.

Sooner or later, Sakura Haruno will also ascend to the world's highest stage and compete with the many powerful figures who roam the seas or the ninja world!

Joining this legendary pirate crew is her ticket to embark on her legendary journey!

"I also want to see the view from the summit!!!"

Sakura Haruno clenched her teeth, instinctively turning her willpower into a weapon.

The young child then fiercely swung a non-existent sword at the powerful figure before him.

boom--!

A domineering roar, expressing one's will.

The girl's slender body exuded an extraordinary aura, with black lightning swirling around her.

Sakura Haruno raised her head, her long pink hair fluttering in the wind, her emerald eyes reflecting an indomitable spirit.

The youthful yet extremely resolute aura of a newborn clashed violently with Rayleigh's domineering aura, causing countless dark lightning bolts to surge and surge.

The calm sea began to ripple, and sea creatures and seabirds scattered and fled.

'Conqueror's Haki!!!'

The members of Roger's pirate crew looked solemn.

Rayleigh also increased the intensity of his Conqueror's Haki, and his irresistible domineering will became increasingly clear on the ship.

Gradually, Sakura Haruno began to show signs of exhaustion under his overwhelming presence.

"Enough, stop!"

Roger roared, unleashing a burst of black lightning, and Conqueror's Haki, standing atop the ocean, intervened in the conflict between the two.

His rampant Conqueror's Haki was neither as naive and rebellious as Sakura Haruno's, nor as mature and domineering as Rayleigh's.

An all-encompassing, kingly aura enveloped the two, transforming into an invisible field that easily erased the will carried within their domineering presence.

—Strict adherence to orders and prohibitions is the beginning of the kingly way.

"Don't be so serious, Rayleigh."

Roger stepped forward, standing between Rayleigh and Sakura Haruno, and even reached out to pat the girl's head.

"Look how cute this child is, how could he possibly be a killer?"

"Strictly speaking, ninjas are assassins!"

Brushing aside the sweat-dampened strands of hair on her forehead, Sakura Haruno answered earnestly.

"I'm speaking up for you, and besides, what assassin has that kind of guts!"

Roger rolled his eyes, speechless at the girl's bluntness.

He subtly increased the pressure on his hands, ruffling Sakura Haruno's neatly combed hair.

"I just... didn't want to lie to you." The girl lowered her head.

Seeing Sakura Haruno showing a rare vulnerable side, Roger quickly led her to Rayleigh's side.

Using her current appearance, he pleaded with his devilish first mate.

"You rascal, it's because you always cause trouble that I have to play the villain here!"

Seeing his appearance, Rayleigh clutched his forehead in anguish.

Having a captain like that means who knows how much more suffering they'll endure in the future.

"Anyway, welcome to the team... uh?"

"Haruno Sakura!"

"Sakura."

Rayleigh's lips curved into a smile as he reached out and shook hands with Sakura Haruno to welcome her.

"Yosh! To celebrate the arrival of our little ninja, my lads—"

Roger deliberately drew out his voice, whetting the appetites of the crew.

Faces, some rugged, some gentle, were fixed on their captain's figure, eagerly awaiting his arrival.

"The banquet is starting—!!!"

"oh!!!"

A cheerful atmosphere filled the Al Jackson as the cook opened the ship's storage compartments.

One after another, strange pirates took turns attacking Sakura Haruno with drinks, but she defeated them one by one.

"Fools, of course you can't outdrink her juice with alcohol!"

Roger, holding a wooden cup, laughed heartily and slapped his thigh.

"Drink it all, Uncle Sambell, are you raising fish or something?!"

The young girl, relying on her inability to drink alcohol, arrogantly held up her juice and looked down on everyone else.

"Don't be so arrogant, you brat! You'll be sorry when you can drink!"

The merman Sambell, his face already flushed, picked up the wooden cup, drank the dark red wine in one gulp, and then staggered to the ground.

"Hahahahaha!"

Since coming into this world, Sakura Haruno has laughed so freely and unrestrainedly for the first time.

Amid the girl's cheerful laughter, musician Jackson Bana began to play a lively tune.

Yohohoho, yohohoho~

Yohohoho, yohohoho~

Binks' fine wine is about to be delivered to your side~

Ride the sea breeze and the waves, do whatever you want!

The setting sun on the other side, as the waves surge towards it, is also making a ruckus.

The birds' songs drew circles in the sky.

Goodbye, harbor, home of textiles~

Let's sing a song, the song of departure!

Sakura Haruno swayed to the rhythm of the pirates' cheerful songs as a plate of grilled meat was placed in front of her.

The girl looked up and saw a haughty, blond middle-aged man push up his glasses.

"After drinking so much juice, you should eat some meat, otherwise you'll have acid reflux when you go to sleep at night."

"Oh, Uncle Rayleigh, did you know that tsundere has become obsolete?"

"Long-winded!"

Sakura Haruno glanced at Rayleigh with a mocking look, then picked up the plate and ate the grilled meat in big mouthfuls.

Seeing the girl enjoying her meal, the pirate uncles around her all handed her their own portions of grilled meat.

This is the first time that Sakura Haruno has experienced the treatment of the youngest child in the family during the New Year.

“That’s great…”
