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

"I mean 'we' have already won!" Sakura revealed a triumphant smile.

The so-called pursuit of the bloodline of the Bakken people does not require such a high-profile attack on her territory.

Once the Bear family leaves Medical Island, opportunities will be plentiful.

They specially assembled three admiral-level combatants, along with a senior staff officer from the Marine Headquarters and several vice admirals. This combat force configuration was aimed at Sakura's forces.

However, as the battle has progressed, Tsuru and Zephyr have been defeated, Kizaru is bogged down in a war of attrition, and the other marines have been wiped out by the giants, leaving no usable forces.

Garp alone is not enough to withstand the attack; if he were surrounded and attacked by Sakura and her allies, he might even be killed in battle.

"Hahaha, how about that?"

Sakura proudly spread her arms to Garp, "The power I created has already gained the strength to go on its own even after leaving my embrace!"

"So, you've already lost, Navy!"

Garp remained silent for a long time, his fighting spirit condensing once more, and he transformed into a straight line, charging towards Sakura.

"Then let this old man lose completely!"

Chapter 321 The Hero's Defeat!

"Fist Bone Impact!"

The domineering and rampaging iron fist slammed into the air, and a huge radial beam of light burst forth with a roar, while the surging shockwave transformed into the most violent wind from top to bottom.

"So this is the trick I had to use to deal with you!"

Sakura spun the Cloud Sword, shrinking the giant sword in her hand to the size of an ordinary sword. Two-colored Haki wrapped around the blade, and she swung it forward with a fierce strike.

"Gods, sir!"

The pitch-black fluctuations transformed into a massive torrent sweeping across the heavens and earth, and the fierce sword light tore through the radiating shockwaves, engulfing Garp.

"Kid, you're always doing unnecessary things!"

Although the old man, who couldn't be completely burned even after being thrown into the incinerator, was still complaining, Garp was laughing so hard that tears were almost streaming down his face.

His gaze swept over the fleet that had managed to escape due to the ice breaking.

The soldiers who were initially stunned by Conqueror's Haki have begun to wake up one after another. More importantly, he also saw an officer leading Zephyr and Tsuru climbing onto the warship from the seawater.

Taking a deep breath, Garp roared, "Listen up! I, as the Supreme Commander of the Fleet, now order a full retreat!"

The aged and hoarse voice echoed across the entire sea, and the surviving sailors understood what this elderly man was about to do for them.

"Vice Admiral Garp!"

Many naval soldiers couldn't help but wail, and some of the officers who had rushed to the top were even preparing to rush out to save people, but they were held back by their colleagues.

"Don't make me repeat myself, set sail!"

Garp threw a punch at them, and the shockwave spread far and wide, pushing the warships out to sea. Finally, under the control of the obedient marines, the ships turned around and sailed away from the waters of Miriam Island.

"The worries are gone? Can we begin?" With her hands behind her back, Sakura, exuding a youthful charm, tilted her head at Garp.

She neither hindered the navy's withdrawal nor ordered the island's forces to pursue them.

"Hmph, not obstructing my orders? Aren't you afraid of letting a tiger return to the mountain?" Garp's smile turned dangerous, his aura trembled, and the air currents he created made his coat flutter continuously.

"Release the tiger back to the mountain? They're just two unconscious defeated men, plus a bunch of ordinary marines."

Sakura lifted the Cloud Reaper and held it horizontally in front of her chest. "Besides, my purpose in going to sea is to confront the strong on this ocean. Taking the initiative to attack the weak will only make me weaker!"

"The strong draw their swords against the even stronger..." Garp murmured, "What a terrifying brat!"

Immediately afterwards, he stepped on the air and launched himself into the air, heading straight for Sakura.

During the flight, Garp punched several ice floes, and his intense Armament Haki shattered them.

The fragments shot out haphazardly like shotgun bullets, flying at speeds invisible to the naked eye as they hurtled towards the girl.

Even more deadly is that the shattered ice that came into contact with Garp's fist was also shrouded in Armament Haki.

"Oh, you can use 'domineering' like this?" Sakura's eyes lit up.

He raised his free hand, and with the flow of Armament Haki, an invisible armor gathered in front of him.

The flying fragments collided with the imposing armor, immediately producing a crisp clanging sound.

"You brat, you'll be defeated right here today! Fist Bone Impact!"

Garp, who had already rushed in front of Sakura, raised his fist, and a wisp of crimson lightning rose along the trajectory of his fist.

"You old geezer, today I'll cut your legend to the ground!"

Sakura revels in the intense clash of wills, her Cloud Cloud swirling with the heat cycle generated by the Devil Fruit's power. The gas within the Iron Cloud is heated and then ionized through collisions, producing a large amount of electricity.

"The Blazing Light Sword - Wild Soul!"

Instead of unleashing the energy wave as a flying slash, he wrapped it around the blade and collided with Garp's incoming fist.

boom--!

Once again, they used Conqueror's Haki to entwine and collide from a distance, causing everything to tremble under the will of the two conquerors.

The colors of the world faded, and a raging hurricane, constantly erupting, swept across the surrounding sea, causing waves to spread out in a ring from beneath their feet.

Amidst this pallor, the girl was surprised to discover that the fruit power contained within the blade was gradually fading away.

The electric current generated by the Devil Fruit's thermal manipulation is actually being erased by Garp's Haki.

"You're so domineering! Just how much joy are you going to give me? Hahahaha!" Sakura's emerald eyes widened, and she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

She didn't care at all that her abilities had been defeated and her domineering aura had been shattered.

He was struck squarely in the abdomen by Garp's punch. Steel Skin's talent was infiltrated by the destructive Haki inside him, and he was sent flying backward toward the island behind him, crashing into a wall of thorns and embedding himself in the ground.

"Ouch, that really hurts!" Amidst the billowing dust, the girl pushed aside the broken thorns and stood up.

One hand rested on her smooth abdomen, and the chakra of the Hundred Healings Technique seeped into the cells that were trying to repair the damage.

However, this time, the invincible art of creation and regeneration failed!

An all-powerful will remains within the cells of the wound, rejecting all physical and supernatural energy attempts to repair the damage.

In short, it's true damage that can't be healed!

"Tch, thick-skinned brat." Garp panted a few times, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

His attack, which consumed a great deal of his strength and domineering aura, was still unable to defeat him in one blow. If this dragged on, the situation might become unfavorable for him.

Am I getting old after all?

Garp looked up at the distant sunset, and for some reason recalled the way Rocks was defeated in God Valley.

"Hey old man Garp, where are you looking?!"

Sakura charged forward once again, this time wielding a giant sword, her aura radiating power.

"Wei Guo!"

Sakura discards her abilities and all her fancy powers, returning to pure dominance as she wields her giant sword.

"You stubborn brat!" Garp roared, "Fist Bone Meteor Shower!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! ...

The atmosphere began to boil again, and the constant clash between fists and greatswords created a stalemate.

Sakura's body was covered in more and more wounds. Almost every time Garp punched her, she would get a new, irreparable wound.

Garp was in a similarly bad situation. After a prolonged period of defense, even the most exquisite Haki would eventually be broken through by Sakura's attacks, leaving him with numerous wounds on his arms, legs, waist, and abdomen.

In addition, to maintain the suppression of Sakura's abilities, his domineering aura was being depleted like a flood.

Inside the island, the members of the Other Shore Pirates, the giants, the winged tribe, and Kizaru and Enel, who were still locked in combat in the sky, all stopped what they were doing and were completely drawn to the clashing wills outside the island.

"To be able to fight that monster Garp to this extent is truly terrifying~"

With a lightning-fast kick, Kizaru squinted at Enel, landing on the thorny wall. He raised a finger at Sakura, its tip gleaming.

"Don't move, Kizaru!" Darkness surged around him, and the Night Sparrow, protected by Shadow Thorns, finally descended behind him, its dark, woven spear pointing directly at Kizaru's head.

"Oh~, Night Raven Leviathan!" Kizaru raised his hands in feigned surprise, as if surrendering.

The other members of the Other Shore Pirates slowly surrounded him, finally making Kizaru give up his desire to intervene. Helplessly, he sat down cross-legged and watched the battle from the sidelines.

"Huff, huff, huff!" Garp, in the center of the battlefield, was panting like a bellows. He was in a terrible state, his clothes were tattered, he was covered in wounds, and blood was flowing from his mouth.

Sakura, standing opposite him, wasn't much better off. Despite being surrounded by crimson lightning, it was just a remnant of Garp's Haki on her.

The two men looked up and stared directly into each other's eyes, both fully aware that the next blow would be their last.

Garp, already nearing his limit, struck first, unleashing "Fist Bone Great Conflict!"

Almost everything was staked on this one attack; Garp's Haki vaguely coalesced into a roaring, vicious dog.

"Hero's Spear - Blazing Inferno!"

Her heart pounded, her domineering aura surged, and a tiny wisp of crimson lightning mixed into the dark lightning swirling around the giant sword Sakura raised.

The two figures transformed into streaks of light and collided in the very center of the sea!

Light! The dazzling light illuminated almost the entire sky.

A massive shockwave, measuring approximately one kilometer in diameter, shot straight up into the sky, piercing through the clouds and shattering the heavens.

Hiss!

Amidst the deafening roar, a crisp sound of fabric tearing reached everyone's ears.

As the dust kicked up by the impact gradually dissipated, the situation at the center of the battlefield became clear.

The longsword made of iron cloud pierced through the white-haired old man's abdomen, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood and fall to the ground, powerless.

At that moment, everyone realized something.

—The hero has been defeated!

Chapter 322 concludes, a new bounty is set.

[Notification: Achievement "Hero's Twilight" has been completed, earning 1000 achievement points.]

Current Achievement Points: 1190

"Ha! Cough cough cough!"

Using chakra to step on the seawater, Sakura coughed a few times.

He didn't pull the sword from Garp's body. Given the old man's condition, if the blade were removed now, he would most likely bleed to death.

He casually swung his hand across his body, and the temperature rose, gradually freezing Garp.

"Hey~, is arresting high-ranking Marines like this a sign of disrespect?" A lazy voice rang out behind Sakura.

Before she knew it, a naval admiral, with his arms crossed, was already standing behind her.

"Trying to steal your prey from me, Kizaru?" Despite her lingering injuries, Sakura's burning fighting spirit remained undiminished.

His cold, sharp gaze swept across the room, fixing intently on Kizaru.

"Don't put it so harshly~ Besides, you're already like this, how can you continue fighting?" Kizaru symbolically raised his hand and snapped his fingers, causing light particles to scatter around.

"Hmph, how cunning! But..."

Sakura mimicked Kizaru's tone of voice, and her right hand, hanging down, formed a hand seal.

call out!

Chakra locked onto the anchor points set up on Leviathan and Garp, and a soft hum of spacetime shattering echoed as Garp, Sakura, and Leviathan switched positions.

In that brief instant, Kizaru, sensing the movement, condensed the Ama no Kusanagi at an extremely high speed and thrust it forward.

But what awaited him was Leviathan's dark spear, which resonated with Sakura's heart!

when!

The tip of the needle is facing the wheat awn.

Darkness and light clashed, and bursts of laser particles exploded around the two, the impact stirring up waves and flames creating mist.

"I've been waiting for you for so long~, Kizaru!" Leviathan's voice trailed off, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.
