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

With a blank expression, Riyo pulled a specially made Den Den Mushi from her bosom.

This type of Den Den Mushi can only dial one frequency band, at the cost of sacrificing its other communication bands. Under any conditions, the thought waves of this Den Den Mushi can be received by another Den Den Mushi.

"this...."

Ace and his companions exchanged glances and swallowed hard.

Having just escaped from the territory of one pirate emperor, are they about to enter another?

Moreover, if they were to return to the Medical Island now, they could already foresee their miserable future.

"Hey, what are you guys talking about? Where are we going next?"

Yamato, having coughed up a mouthful of seawater, regained consciousness and circled around Ace and Sakura.

"Don't rush, let me think..."

Just as Ace was about to answer Yamato, a rainbow light suddenly flashed in the pupils of the three of them.

Ace, Ryougi, and Yamato looked up at the same time, their gazes lingering on the distant black dot in the sky as it approached.

"These kids have been looking for me for ages!"

With anger on his face, Jin was enveloped in an aura of dominance, and his wings curved into an arc.

The entire pterosaur transformed into a sharp blade in mid-air, slashing down towards their only foothold.

—Emperor Dan Gong!

"Don't think about it!"

In that belated moment of confusion, Ace's Observation Haki locked onto the brutal shadow that had descended from the sky.

The blade in his hand was coated with a layer of dark luster, and the blade, roaring with dark thunder, slashed down mercilessly, carving an arc-shaped slash mark in mid-air.

—Wild Soul!

when!

A violent howl erupted from the point where the sword and wings collided, and the shockwave accelerated the sinking of Riyo's pirate ship.

"Get out of my way, you brat!"

A flame ignited behind King, and his power swelled several times over. With a turn, he slashed Ace into the sea.

"Ace!"

Yamato cried out, and lightning rained down from the sky in response to her roar, causing her body to transform amidst the lightning.

Immediately, a pure white komainu leaped from the boat and opened its mouth wide towards the sea below.

—No Servants, Ice Fang!

The biting cold air plunged into the sea, instantly bringing everything to a standstill and transforming the surging waves into a pure white snowfield.

boom!

Ace fell into the ice, and Jin seized the opportunity to pounce on him, rushing to Yamato's side. "Come back with me, Yamato!"

"No way! I'd rather go out to sea with my companions and go on an adventure!"

The komainu's body stood upright, transforming into fingers and a human body, with the spiked club in its hand, Ken, pointing it at Jin.

"Foolish! What's wrong with helping Kaido dominate Wano Country? It's your destiny!"

Jhin also entered his human-beast form, pulling out a large sword from behind him, with flames blazing behind him.

"I've answered him with that question many times!"

Yamato's gaze was resolute, his rising will igniting a surging aura that transformed into pure Conqueror's Haki that shook the sea and sky. "I'm not interested in domination!"

"well said!"

Another roar, imbued with the aura of a conqueror, interrupted their conversation.

In Ember's pupils, a flame just like his own ignited, instantly unleashing all his fury.

"How dare you do such a thing?!"

Chapter 326 What are you babbling about? Talk to my defenses!

"Honestly, couldn't you have taken me down a little more gently?"

On the frozen sea, Ace rubbed his head as he climbed out of the crater.

He took a few steps forward, bracing himself against the strangely shaped ice around him, and found two Lunarians locked in a fierce confrontation in the center of the battlefield.

His gaze fell upon the identical flames burning behind the two, and a sudden thought flashed through his mind: "Father and daughter?"

"certainly not!!!"

Jhin turned around and roared at Ace.

However, Risakura, who was standing in front of him, fell into an eerie silence, and the girl's complicated gaze trembled slightly.

No? Seriously?

Hey brat, talk to me!

You actually want to be my daughter? What's your motive?

Even Yamato froze on the spot, awkwardly holding his spiked club, unsure whether to continue the fight.

Who would have thought that Jhin, who always wears a leather jacket and mask and refuses to take them off, actually has an unexpectedly innocent face hidden under that thick shell.

Yamato withdrew his gaze from Risaku and nodded in agreement. "Mr. Jin, it's wrong to start something and then abandon it!"

"I...I don't care if you're the World Government or the creation of that spider lily. In short, you're going to die here today!!!" After being stared at by Yamato with an almost humiliating gaze for a long time, Jin's last shred of sanity melted away.

Spreading its wings, it soared into the air, using the pteranodon's nimble body to circle and slash. Countless fiery slashes, imbued with Armament Haki and raining down from the sky, were about to wipe out everyone on the ground.

Just then, Ri-Sakura, who had been silent for a long time, finally made a move, "I won't attack you this time, but next time we'll be enemies!"

As she spoke, Sakura's arm transformed into a beast form, and flowing Armament Haki formed a ring of armor around her body.

The massive beast claw blocked the other crew members' positions, preventing the many slashes that Jin unleashed from its reach.

"Are you looking down on me?" Bloodshot eyes bulged beneath the ashes mask.

"No, I am merely paying my final respects to the genetic origins of this body, even though you now harbor murderous intent towards me." Ryougi looked calmly at this stranger, without a trace of regret or sadness in her heart.

Born as a product of gene editing, she had long been prepared to be hated by the gene providers.

However, she unexpectedly gained a precious family bond during her journey. To be honest, considering the common sense that Vegapunk gave her, she was already lucky enough compared to most people in the world.

Her past background, lineage, and stance are not important to her. What matters is how to create her own future and leave her mark on this world!

"I have broken free from the shackles of this bloodline, have you?"

It was as if Jin saw his own hidden self behind the mask in the girl's clear eyes.

"You, a half-blood, wouldn't understand that kind of thing. Besides, a brat like you has no right to lecture me!"

Jin raised his long sword, Armament Haki wrapped around it once more, and slashed fiercely at Risaku.

when!

Ace rushed across the ice from afar and blocked Jin's slash with his half-drawn sword.

Yamato, like a wild beast, charged up behind Jin on all threes, raising his spiked club. "I don't know what happened, but you can fight again, right?"

The spiked club, radiating freezing energy, swept across and struck Jhin's waist hard. The ice mixed with Armament Haki seeped into Jhin's leather coat.

—Ice Slash!

"Cough!" Jin coughed up a few ice shards.

With nowhere to gain leverage in mid-air, he was sent flying backwards and crashed heavily into the ice, stirring up a large cloud of ice mist.

"Damn it, Yamato is one thing, but who is this other brat and how is he so troublesome?" Crushing the shards of ice that had hit him, Jin stood up from the crater.

The flames of the Lunaria race were still burning, so the imps' attacks could not break through his defenses.

However, I am no match for them in terms of physical skills and Haki... Could it be that...?

"How could I possibly lose to two brats like you!" Jin laughed angrily.

After reaching a certain point, he no longer felt angry; his heart was at peace, and he voluntarily extinguished the mysterious flames behind him.

"You two brats, get ready!"

After the flames died down, King's speed actually increased significantly. He moved nimbly through the air, easily dodging the many ice spikes thrown by Yamato, and rushed straight towards Ace.

"He's heading your way, Ace!" The moment Jhin passed Yamato, she turned around and shouted to remind him.

"Don't worry, I understand!" Ace swung his sword in mid-air.

—Thallium Blade from the Other Shore!

A massive sword aura drew a cross in the air and crashed down on Jin with Ace's domineering presence.

A burst of flames erupted from the pterosaur's body, shattering the sword energy before extinguishing it again, and it rapidly approached Ace.

However, Ace, still in mid-air, had already used the recoil from his previous slash to land inside Sakura's protective circle.

"Huh?" Both Riss and Jin were taken aback.

However, it was King, who had more combat experience, who reacted first. He enveloped his head in Armament Haki and used his claws to pull his head back like a slingshot.

Flames burned from behind to the pterosaur's mouth, forming a ring of fire spikes.

—The sable is proud to be emperor!

Jin released his arm, and his head suddenly extended like a spring, piercing straight into Li Ying's beast claw with great penetrating force.

"Ugh!"

The giant girl sighed softly, transforming into her full beast form, with embers-like flames burning behind her body.

The seawater beneath the ice surged, and the metal buried on the seabed was manipulated by Sakura's ability to quickly pierce upwards, finally breaking through the ice and condensing into a metal armor on her arm, followed closely by Armament Haki.

Originally created to serve as the strongest shield among the God's Blades, Sakura is now displaying her powerful defensive capabilities to the fullest.

—What are you babbling about? Go talk to my defenses!

when!

Jin slammed his head straight into Ryougi's hand, which was a mix of domineering aura and metal, and a thunderous roar erupted instantly.

Amidst the dizzying spin, the pterosaur's figure flew backward.

They couldn't even feel the pain of shattered bones or the dizziness of a concussion, and were helplessly tossed about by a hurricane like fallen leaves.

Dizzy and disoriented, Jin didn't have time to organize a second defense before being hit on the head by Yamato, who was chasing from behind.

"Thunder! Roar! Eight Trigrams!"

The iron rod, wreathed in icy energy, flashed past. Behind her, Jin's forehead erupted with a burst of blue lightning, and he was sent flying backward, his consciousness blurred, crashing through several ice pillars before being buried.

"yeah!"

After landing, Yamato and Ace raised their palms and clapped them together in the air.

Seeing that the two seemed to have a well-thought-out plan, Risakura reverted to her human form.

He appeared behind the two with gritted teeth, his eyes turning into inverted triangles that revealed his shark teeth.

"You two, you actually used me!!!"

"Huh?" Ace and Yamato turned around mechanically.

But then they saw the fist enveloping Liu Ying slam down on them.

So the two of them took off running, and the three of them chased each other across the wreckage of the ship.

However, what they didn't notice was the movement of clouds in the distant sky.

Its overwhelming aura terrified all the surrounding sea creatures, stirring up countless giant waves and thunder.

—The most powerful creatures on land, sea, and air have crossed the sea.

Chapter 327 Willpower and such, you don't need it!

Amidst the dizzying chaos, the Conqueror's Haki erupted like a tidal wave, sweeping across the ground layer by layer while simultaneously unleashing a deafening barrage of dark thunder.
