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

The Devil Fruit's power began to erode Kizaru's radiance, mixing with the will of the Devil Fruit that was suppressed within his power.

—Blockade of the Apocalypse!

"This trick again?" Kizaru's brow twitched.

The scene of being sealed away by the other party in the Forsythe Islands a few years ago is still vivid in his mind; that strange darkness can truly be considered one of his few weaknesses.

In the current environment, if I get caught, who knows what kind of shape I'll be manipulated by the other party.

He could even foresee Morgans using headlines like "Shocking! Two of the Navy's Greatest Warriors Lose Their Bodies in the Pirate Emperor's Domain" to boost newspaper sales.

Therefore, Kizaru acted decisively, taking advantage of the darkness of Leviathan before it spread to his arm, he elementalized his Logia-type body, and with his other hand, he condensed the Ama-no-Murakumo to sever the elementalized arm.

Then, using the reflection from the surface of the seawater, they decisively distanced themselves from Leviathan through the channel of light.

"How is it, Admiral Kizaru? Can you still fight?" Sakura led the other members of the Other Shore Pirates, their fierce gazes all focused on Kizaru.

"How terrifying~, Emperor of the Sea!" Kizaru's tone was still as lazy as ever, but you could already hear the seriousness in his voice after a few minutes.

Sakura, who possesses time-space abilities, Leviathan, who counters him, plus several executives of the Other Shore Pirates...

This battle cannot be fought; the military can no longer afford the consequences of losing this entire fighting force here.

"There's nothing we can do about it~ Mr. Garp, we'll just leave him with you for now and take him back another day!" Kizaru sighed.

A reflective tunnel suddenly appeared behind him, then he was swallowed up by the tunnel and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Damn bastard, I'll beat him next time we meet!" Enel landed angrily, his injuries flaring up, and he collapsed to the ground covered in blood.

"Tsk tsk, what a stubborn guy." Leviathan emerged from the shadows, casually broke off a thorny branch, and squatted down next to Enel, poking at it playfully.

“Sakura, Kuina…” Tiger carried the unconscious girl to Sakura’s side.

"I'll treat her later." Sakura took a deep breath and shouted to all the pirate crew members below, "The war is over, we won! Now clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded!"

"Oh!"

A deafening roar of cheers instantly engulfed the silent underworld.

"Leviathan, notify the giants to guard the breach... and dispatch doctors from the mortal realm to organize treatment. The rest is up to you..."

Sakura's vision blurred, but she forced herself to walk to a place out of sight of the crowd and collapsed straight towards Leviathan.

Then, she felt a warm embrace supporting her, and the ship spirit's childlike but gentle voice rang out: "Yes, leave it to me!"

.

.

Three days later, in the palace of the mortal realm.

Birds outside landed on the windowsill of the dormitory, their lively chirping waking the pink-haired girl lying on the big bed.

"Well."

Sakura, still half asleep, sat up in bed, the soft, plush blanket slipping off her incredibly smooth old shoulders.

Beneath the covers, there was nothing to conceal...

But the body was wrapped in bandages!

"Hiss, these are old fogies from the last era, each one of them possesses unique skills!"

Sakura moved her body, and intense pain emanated from all parts of her body.

If chakra repair proves ineffective, she can only recover in the most primitive way: waiting for her body to heal itself.

Click!

The door to the room opened, and Ginny walked in carrying a basin of hot water.

Upon seeing Sakura sitting on the bed, she was momentarily stunned before revealing a joyful expression.

"It's been three days, you're finally awake." Ginny walked to her side, soaked a towel in hot water, and was about to start wiping Sakura's body.

"Oh, no need, no need, I'm already awake, I can do this myself!" Sakura refused repeatedly as Ginny tried to pull back her blanket.

She knew perfectly well that she was completely naked under the covers, and if they were to lift them up directly, what would happen?

"Don't be shy. I've been cleaning for you for so many days, one more time won't make a difference." Ginny waved her hand casually and grabbed the blanket, throwing it aside.

"Wait, no, stop!"

Sakura's desperate and helpless voice rang out in the dormitory, startling a flock of birds on the windowsill.

Several tens of minutes later, the girl, who had changed into a shirt and jeans, sat on the sofa in the dormitory, looking at Ginny with a resentful expression.

"He's been completely figured out, and by a married woman no less...."

"Hey, that's going too far!" Ginny rolled up a newspaper and tapped Sakura on the head, then put it down and started cleaning up the rest of the area.

"A newspaper?" Sakura unfolded the newspaper and began to read.

"The news of what happened a few days ago has spread throughout the ocean, and Dorrag even called to inquire about your situation."

Ginny stopped cleaning, turned to Sakura, and bowed deeply. "Thank you so much for everything. My family and I really don't know how to repay your kindness. Also, we're so sorry about the bounty!"

"Don't worry about it, we're friends~" Sakura waved her hands repeatedly, "Wait, a bounty?"

The girl, realizing what was happening, quickly unfolded the newspaper, and the first line of fine zeros blurred her vision.

—King of the Other Shore, Sakura Haruno, Bounty: 4.5 billion Berries!

Chapter 323 Treatment Begins!

"Haha, this is the right amount for a god's bounty!"

Inside a hospital in the mortal realm, a tall man, his eyes wrapped in bandages and only one visible, let out a bright laugh.

His gaze was fixed on the new amount written on the bounty poster—1.24 billion Berries—while his mouth remained open as a beautiful winged nurse beside him fed him.

Tiger came to visit the people in the ward, carrying a flower basket.

After seeing Enel's appearance, I couldn't help but exclaim, "The mighty God of Thor, can't you at least have some dignity?"

"You bastard, why is your bounty higher than mine?!"

Upon hearing Tiger's voice, Enel's smug expression instantly melted away, and flames ignited in his single exposed eye.

The newspaper's bounty poster for Enel was blown up by the wind, revealing Tiger's bounty poster underneath, which read 1.25 billion Berries.

"Well, maybe it's because you let your opponent escape~"

Tiger retaliated slightly against Enel's unreasonable behavior.

This hit Enel where it hurt, and he roared as lightning crackled around him from behind Tiger.

"It's so noisy. If you're this energetic first thing in the morning, why don't you go patrol the island a few times?"

The ward was shrouded in a huge shadow, and Leviathan's figure emerged from the darkness.

She casually stuck her own wanted poster, which read 2.27 billion, onto Enel's face. Dark chains burst forth from the paper, binding Enel tightly and sealing his abilities.

How is Kuina doing?

Leviathan withdrew his hand and turned his gaze to Tiger, who was sitting beside Guina's hospital bed.

"She's still unconscious," Tiger said wistfully. "She'd be so happy if she woke up and found out my bounty had increased to 1.1 billion!"

"It's okay, everything will be alright once Sakura recovers!"

Leviathan patted Tiger on the shoulder to encourage him, "By the way, if you run into Tomd while you're on patrol, remember to tell him he's also wanted!"

A brownish-yellow bounty poster was handed to the merman, exuding the smell of fresh ink.

Tiger took the bounty poster, glanced at it, and gave a knowing look.

—Flame Hammer Tomd. Bounty: 1 billion Berries.

"Don't worry, I'll go directly to the giant's village to find him!"

Tiger nodded, folded the bounty poster, put it in his pocket, got up, and walked out the door.

Meanwhile, in the giant village of the underworld.

The damaged houses were half-repaired, and a bonfire burned in the central square, filling the air with the aroma of roasted meat and the scent of malt and alcohol.

Leader Tomd raised his glass and clinked it against the tall man who had fought alongside him a few days earlier.

"Wow, not bad at drinking, buddy from the Bakania tribe!"

Tomd watched as the bear next to him finished the wine in a cup as big as himself and burst into laughter.

According to the customs of the giants, such 'strongmen' are entitled to special treatment!

As a result, the ancient giants and ordinary giants around him began to eagerly gather around him.

"Hey, you big guys, don't you dare get my dad drunk!"

Bonnie dropped her toys and ran from a distance, standing in front of the giants and scolding them.

"Hahahaha!"

The giants laughed in a friendly manner, and after glancing at the bear's happy expression, they all abandoned their previous plans and started feeding little Bonnie instead.

"Sigh, I really hope she gets better soon."

The bear, sitting at a distance, watched Bonnie playing with the giants, a hint of heartache in his eyes.

Because of Bonnie's illness, he had no choice but to hide with his daughter in this underworld shrouded in snow and darkness all year round.

"Getting better?" Tomd frowned. "Is the child sick?"

"Yes! It's a very rare disease."

The bear lowered its head in disappointment, its eyes flickering as it stared at its palm.

He hated these hands that could brush away all pain, yet he was powerless to help his daughter's illness.

"Then trust the captain. At least she's the best doctor I've ever seen in my two hundred years of life!" Tomd, the over-aged bachelor, couldn't understand the old father's thoughts and could only offer a casual reason to comfort him.

"Yes, that's right..."

As Xiong thought about his conversation with Xiaoying a few days ago, his expression became increasingly bitter.

"Just what?"

A crisp sound came from behind the bear, causing him to turn around in surprise.

Then, to his surprise, he saw Sakura, her body wrapped in bandages, walking towards him with Ginny.

"Darling!" Ginny's eyes lit up as she jumped into his arms.

Big Bear lovingly caught his wife and gently stroked her nose.

"Mommy, Sakura-neechan!"

Bonnie, who was having a great time, heard the commotion and abandoned her giant companions to run towards them.

Sakura reached out and picked Bonnie up, nuzzling her face. "You're so cute, unlike some people who get all lovey-dovey when they're together."

Bonnie pretended not to understand and giggled.

Bear and Ginny, who were behind them, blushed slightly and separated awkwardly.

"Alright, Bonnie will stay with me for the time being!"

Sakura carried her to Xiong and Ginny, saying, "As for you two, go cool off somewhere else!"

"Huh? Is Bonnie going to stay on the island for a long time?"

Ginny, understanding the meaning behind Sakura's words, felt a little reluctant and walked to Sakura's side to take her daughter's hand.

"After all, preserving her original body requires a long treatment period."

Sakura hefted Bonney reassuringly, "If you'd like to stay, you're welcome, but the Revolutionary Army needs you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xiong and Ginny fell silent.

On one hand, there's the ideal of saving those who have lost their freedom and are suffering in dire straits; on the other hand, there's the desire to be with his daughter...

When family ties and ideals are weighed on a scale, even the strongest person cannot make a decision in an instant.

Bonnie sensed her parents' torment, broke free from Sakura's embrace, and jumped to the ground.

She took tiny steps to her parents, took their hands, and said, "Mom and Dad, go! Bonnie hopes you can become heroes to everyone!"
