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

Dark lightning shadows swirled in his pupils, and the will of the overlord began to distort the surrounding air.

"Huh? I opened an arms factory and sold weapons all over the world, bringing Wano Country enormous wealth and a higher status."

Seeing that Sakura, who was in charge, did not speak, Orochi rubbed his hands together, grinned to reveal his square canine teeth, and said, "In history, no other general has ever come from a prestigious family with my achievements. What right do you, an overseas person, have to talk nonsense!"

"So many people have died from hunger and poisoning, and you still have the nerve to call this abundance!"

The sound of the scabbard falling to the ground rang out, and Ace, unable to restrain himself, drew his black sword and held it to Orochi's neck.

"This...this isn't my fault! They can't afford to eat because...they're not trying hard enough!"

Startled, Orochi fell to the ground, stammering, "Besides...besides, these people brought it on themselves. Do you know how the people of Wano persecuted us, Kurozumi..."

"fraud!"

Before the giant snake could finish speaking, it was interrupted by the girl's clear and loud voice. Her eyes were clear, and courage flowed in them like a storm sweeping across a green grassland.

Tama emerged from behind Ace, walked up to Orochi, and looked him in the eye. "My father and mother said before they passed away that Orochi ended up like this because he did something wrong."

"You're also from the Kurotan clan? Then you should understand me even more!!!"

Forced to tilt its head back by Ace's blade, Orochi's eyes, filled with anger and terror, turned towards Tama, the prominent blood vessels clearly visible on them.

“We were all born into a life of luxury, but the people of Wano Country caused us to be reduced to begging on the streets. So what’s wrong with me taking revenge on them?”

"We were the ones who made the mistake first!" Xiaoyu calmly met the serpent's madness with her innocent eyes. "You are always so unrepentant, that's why you are headed for destruction!"

"What did you say!"

Gasping for breath, the black charcoal serpent rose and lunged at Tama.

But Ace's Observation Haki had already detected his intention to attack, and he swung his sword without holding back.

Orochi, whose body had been neglected for years and immersed in wine and women, could hardly outrun Ace's blade.

Accompanied by a scorching clang, the jet-black blade, enveloped in domineering aura, left a blazing red trail in the void.

The enormous head with its purple bald head flew into the air, tumbled a few times in mid-air, and then crashed to the ground, rolling down in front of Sakura.

Ace twirled his sword and sheathed it, then apologized to Sakura in a cool voice: "Sorry, Sakura-nee, but this guy is really infuriating... Ouch!"

Ace's cool demeanor lasted only three seconds before Sakura punched him on the head, and he swallowed the rest of his words.

"This guy is a Mythical Zoan type Yamata no Orochi user, he won't die so easily."

Sakura stepped forward and kicked Orochi's head away, then stomped on his stomach and spun him around.

"Damn it, we were found out!" A voice rang out through gritted teeth.

In an instant, a new head regenerated, and the black-faced serpent threatened, "Knowing my immense power, you'd better let me go, or I'll use this immortality to make those around you pay the price!"

"What are you pretending for? Even if a person with superpowers is resurrected, there are limits. Do you want me to test it out for you right now?"

Sakura's gaze turned cold as she drew the sword from Ace's hand. With a flash of light, she severed Orochi's limbs.

A jet-black longsword imbued with Conqueror's Haki was held beside his neck, its surging power gradually emanating an aura of decay.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please let me know if you need anything."

Realizing he was about to die, the Kurozumi Orochi slid to his knees at lightning speed, his limbless body wriggling in front of Sakura before slamming his head into the ground.

Sakura ignored him, turned her head to Ace, and handed the knife back to him. "Ace, take this guy back to the Leviathan and have him write a decree of succession for Tama. If the old lion has already woken up, give him everyone. He knows what to do!"

"Okay...wait, Sister Ying, aren't you coming with us?"

Ace used the rope he had previously used to bind Tama to perform a tortoise shell binding on Orochi.

Then, as if lifting a fully loaded basket of vegetables, he lifted up the black charcoal serpent, while dragging Tama with his other hand.

"No, this is a territorial battle after all, someone has to make some noise in the open!"

Sakura took out the Cloud Reaper and swung it forcefully, shattering the entire ferry and blowing away the Homitz soldiers who had surrounded them without them even realizing it.

"Run! Remember to inform Old Lion that I'll lure Charlotte Linlin here and take care of her. The situation in Flower City is up to him!"

The pink-haired girl, sword in hand, charged toward the overwhelming horde of Homies before her, while Ace, carrying two burdens, raced across the shore.

The origami cranes in the sky swooped down, launching black bombs one after another into the path Ace was running.

"Hahahaha, your opponent is me!"

Sakura laughed as she drew the Cloud Sword, unleashing a long, narrow sword wave wrapped in two-colored Haki. The impact, crackling with black and red lightning, almost enveloped the entire sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom! ...

In the blink of an eye, the sound of exploding shells was deafening.

Thick smoke billowed into the sky, and a deafening roar and turbulent waves instantly enveloped the entire banks of the Tuwan River, filling the girl's nostrils with the smell of gunpowder.

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the black smoke. Sakura spread her Observation Haki, and a look of surprise appeared between the flashes of rainbow light.

"I didn't know there was such a way to play?"

Sakura slammed her greatsword into the ground and murmured, "Speaking of which, the people of Wano Country are really indebted to a general like this!"

Chapter 351 The Ice Ghost on the Battlefield

Two hours ago, in Wano Country, the Flower Capital.

"Are these the people?"

Katakuri, with half his face buried in a white fur scarf, stood outside the cage, his gaze sweeping over the Wano Country residents who had been captured.

"Hehe, if you think that's not enough, I can go catch more!" The chubby Quinn took the cigar from his mouth and let out a smug laugh.

"No need, that's enough. The women and children can be released too." Katakuri crossed his arms, turned around, and was about to leave.

"Huh? You're going to let the women and children go?" Quinn raised an eyebrow. "You didn't actually have a change of heart, did you? Hahahaha!"

The slowly receding footsteps stopped, and Katakuri turned around, his crimson eyes gleaming with a powerful aura.

The will of the overlord raged in the dim underground space, transforming into pure and surging Conqueror's Haki, surging endlessly, "It's simply because the souls of women and children are of inferior quality, understand?"

"Conqueror's Haki!" Quinn's eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, narrowed. He didn't even notice the cigar he was holding falling to the ground as his massive, obese body withstood the impact of the Conqueror's Haki.

Although they were both members of the Emperors of the Sea Pirates and had heard about each other's information before, Queen still couldn't help but feel a chill when Katakuri's Conqueror's Haki actually hit him.

"Sigh, I know, I know, I'll let the woman and child go." Quinn wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Also, I have something interesting here. Please pass it on to Big Mom, and remember not to let your people get involved with it!"

After saying that, Quinn tossed a small test tube containing blue liquid and instructions to Katakuri, watching him leave the dungeon with cold steps.

Let's return to the present, to the battlefield in the northern riverbed of Udon.

Under the bombardment of shells, the banks of the river were reduced to scorched earth. Water poured into the craters of varying diameters, and together with the flames burning on the banks, it looked as if the river was boiling.

In hell, Sakura pushed aside a pile of rubble and emerged, the ice shards on her body scattering on the ground, forming a small snow scene.

The sounds of explosions continued to echo around us.

Those shells seemed to be chasing after her, and they even fucking veered off course.

Amidst the storm of shrapnel, several beams of icy blue light shot into the sky, freezing the surrounding scorched earth and sealing the fuses of the shells before they exploded, causing them to fall to the ground and completely extinguish.

After the thick smoke, one after another, ice-blue Homies stepped onto the ice field and staggered towards her. The sheer number of them, coupled with their whitish eyes, made Sakura momentarily think she had wandered into the wrong movie set.

"A combination of technology, corpses, and Big Mom's abilities?" With her Observation Haki flowing, Sakura had already analyzed something from the appearance of the newly arrived army.

She casually dodged a Homie's bite, pinned it to the ground, and blue chakra surged from her fingertips, forming a scalpel that sliced ​​open its skin in one swift motion.

Chakra was injected into it, and its internal structure was clearly visible, with faint traces of the remnants of Wano Country residents who had been transformed into ice demons by Queen using the Plague Bullet.

But these Homies are different from the Ice Ghosts he developed, which lack self-awareness and only attack all living things around them on instinct. After the original Ice Ghosts ceased to function, Big Mom re-imbued them with her abilities, allowing these enhanced corpses to move and turning them into an army.

This would both avoid the decay caused by Sakura's life force plunder and bring new trouble to her from the corpses that were already sources of viral weapon contamination.

Sakura released the Homie, and used Yang Release Medical Ninjutsu to kill the infected cells on her palm skin, then regenerated and expelled them.

She glanced back at the ice-blue Homies covering the mountains and couldn't help but sigh, "How did they end up playing Resident Evil?"

Charlotte Linlin used her Devil Fruit abilities quite normally when she was overseas, such as the Piece Soldier, the March Hare, and the Dream Forest, which seemed full of childlike fun.

But why did the style suddenly change as soon as they arrived in Wano Country? They started playing with plagues, corpses, and pollutants, as if they wanted to do every kind of underworld thing imaginable.

It seems there must be something wrong with the feng shui of your Wano Country!

“Sakura Haruno.…”

Perhaps because they used human remains, or perhaps because it represented Big Mom's anger towards Sakura, this army of ice-demon Homies appeared unexpectedly ferocious at this moment, launching a fierce attack after gathering to a certain size.

"Roar!"

The horde of zombies roared, and the virus raged.

The Oniwabanshu and magistrates who had come with Orochi to subdue Sakura didn't care about any post-battle settlements and scattered in all directions the moment the Ice Demon Homie charged.

The girl standing atop the ice hill gripped the greatsword constructed from iron clouds, a beam of light emanating from her body as she manipulated 'entropy,' revealing her defying-the-laws abilities.

The frost, formed from the transformation of heat, was transformed back into flames under the influence of Sakura's will.

——High Temperature Mode: Blazing Martial Body!

A gentle breeze brushed her cheeks, and the increasingly raging flames burst forth from the girl's body, gradually transforming into white flames that rose and enveloped the rapidly shifting cloud sword.

Wisps of intense heat spread out, rapidly thawing the surrounding snowfield. Many Ice Ghost Homies instinctively felt discomfort and tried to stop their charge, but it was too late.

"I've already said, these powerless creations can't defeat me!" Sakura nodded slowly, seemingly pleased as she swung the giant sword in her hand.

—Emperor Yan's Sword: Mighty Nation!

boom!

Amidst the earth-shaking roar, massive, continuous slashes, like mountain ranges, filled the world, carrying endless flames as they crashed into the Homies' army.

The explosion resounded, and flames leaped!

The terrifying heat caused the moisture in the air to evaporate rapidly, and countless pieces of flesh were burned to ashes in the flames.

Not to mention the virus, even the earth itself was burned into lava, and there was no sign of life within a radius of several thousand meters. The entire battlefield looked like an eternally erupting volcano.

After doing all this, Sakura carried her sword and slowly walked to the last remaining metal Homie.

The emerald eyes, surging with dark lightning, met its gaze, as did the soul queen who was watching this place through this eye.

"How long do you plan to hide? You, who are revered as an evil god by the giants, have you lost even the courage to face your enemies?"

The girl's disappointed eyes and arrogant demeanor were clearly transmitted to the Sky Hunt Pavilion and to their queen through the connection of souls by the Homies.

Finally, the pent-up anger, like a scorching sun, ignited Charlotte Linlin's already insane soul.

"Hey you guys! Get out of my way!!!"

Charlotte Linlin's smile vanished, her patience with her children exhausted, her tone cold and menacing.

"Life or Leave?"

The menacing aura emanating from the soul stole away the surrounding light and warmth. The Charlotte family members, including Dafu, Owen, Armand, and Castard, looked terrified and quickly moved away.

Only Charlotte Linlin remained, raising her fierce eyes and shouting, "Zeus!"

"Yes, Mom!"

Golden lightning suddenly spread, and a blurry outline rose into the air.

Zeus, now transformed into a dark cloud, carried Charlotte Linlin at breakneck speed toward the battlefield where the brat who kept provoking her was!

Chapter 352 Shi Ji: The ruler is young and the country is in doubt; the ministers have not yet submitted. I shall become the emperor's tutor!

Wano Country·Kuri Inland Sea

The massive multi-purpose speedboat slowly sailed toward the distant coast.

On the deck of the Leviathan, a large but hunched man was being watched by a crowd.

"So ugly, so sleazy!" Sakura, the emotionless girl, complained, then glanced at Tama beside her, "Mother's picked up another kid outside!"

Ace, squinting, seemed to have thought of something, and patted Sakura's leg. "You can call each other your own names. You call Tama 'Auntie,' and Tama calls you 'Sister!'"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a giant fist roared back, smashing Ace into the sea.

After giving a cold snort, Riyo withdrew her smoking fist, pulled down the hood of her cloak to cover her face, and sat down to the side without saying a word.

Xiaoyu glanced timidly at Liying, her face contorted in a frown as she dared not speak.

"Don't be afraid, she means no harm!"
