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

Revenge, that old man is definitely plotting revenge against her.

What a petty guy! All I did was accidentally set off some lightning when he made his grand entrance and knocked him unconscious. Is it really worth holding a grudge until now?

"There's a flaw. Die, you brat!"

Charlotte Linlin noticed Sakura's distraction and used the Homie Napoleon to deflect Sakura's sword blade, then clenched her right fist and unleashed a golden halo.

His massive body shattered the ground as he hurtled forward like a cannonball, slamming his iron fist, imbued with Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki, into Sakura's face.

Boom!

The roar suddenly spread, suppressing all other noises, as if the world had fallen silent.

A terrifying aura spread and swept across, unleashing a violent force beyond the capacity of mortals from Charlotte Linlin's arm.

The impact slammed Sakura into the ground, causing her to spin and fly backward, leaving a deep trail on the ground that had turned into a mochi ball, until she disappeared from sight. Then, as if she had hit something, she exploded into a huge cloud of dust.

"Hehehehe, Sakura-kun is such a loser~, want me to give you a hand?"

Floating in the sky, Shiki stood with his arms crossed over his chest, a mocking smile on his face, looking like he was watching a show.

"You shameless, disrespectful old man!"

Beneath the rubble, Sakura pushed aside the dirt and rocks burying her and got up. "After we take care of that guy, I'll twist your head off!"

The white substance on the outside of the body slowly condensed from the void. The tattered feather robe changed its shape slightly under the convergence of natural energy, and finally became a set of white tight-fitting ninja clothes.

Two pairs of silver-white horns sprouted from Sakura's forehead, and pink flames burned on them. Pale blue eyeshadow spread at the corners of her eyes, and her whole aura was almost in harmony with nature.

"Hey, does this guy have some kind of trump card up his sleeve?"

As a powerful and domineering individual, Shiki instinctively sensed the power hidden beneath the girl's seemingly ordinary body—a power that could cause anything to decay and perish!

Charlotte Linlin, standing at a distance, also sensed the approaching aura of death. She gripped her ferocious greatsword tightly with both arms, and defensively spread her domineering aura throughout her body.

"Phew, let's get a little serious!"

After entering Sage Mode, Sakura's amplified senses immediately connected to the natural cycle, and her Observation Haki spread out for tens of kilometers, locking onto the locations of all five people present.

Wait, five people?

The numbers don't match up. The other members of the Charlotte family... have disappeared?

"Old lion, how could you be so blind as to let a fighting enemy go?" Sakura, suddenly noticing something amiss, turned around and cursed.

"What did you say?"

Shiki frowned, about to use his abilities to return to the Mochi Bun Fortress to check on Katakuri's condition.

But the next second, the sea of ​​glutinous rice balls that had never disappeared suddenly surged, splashing and forming a wall that blocked everyone's view.

Katakuri, merging with the sea of ​​mochi and wielding a giant mirror, surged towards Charlotte Linlin along the white waves.

"Don't think about it!"

Sakura swung her arm, and a Flying Thunder God kunai wrapped in Sage Chakra shot out.

After drawing an arc in the air, it pierced through the defensive wall made of glutinous rice balls and shattered the round mirror that was similar in size to Charlotte Linlin!

"Brûlée, it's all up to you!!!"

Katakuri slashed horizontally with his trident, cutting into the handle of the kunai marked with a cherry blossom, severing the anchor point of his space-time ninjutsu.

After all, this wasn't the first time Sakura had used space-time ninjutsu in this world. After she became the Emperor of the Sea, almost all maritime intelligence agencies investigated her abilities and analyzed how to deal with them.

The Charlotte family, possessing the world's third-largest intelligence network after the World Government and the Revolutionary Army, naturally did the same thing.

"Tsk!"

Sakura clicked her tongue, stomped her foot, and rushed towards them!

"Mom, Katakuri brother!"

Within the largest mirror, Charlotte Brûlée, the user of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, bursts forth from the world of mirrors.

With his hands outstretched, he slashed across the ground, tearing open a swirling, vortex-like passage that pulled the two back into the world of the mirror.

Sakura, who arrived shortly after, stretched out her right hand toward the passage, but just as her arm disappeared into the passage, she heard a crisp sound.

Click!

The passage shattered, and the space that instantly reopened severed Sakura's arm in the process.

The victory that was about to be won was reversed in an instant.

Sakura stood still, her gaze sweeping over the severed arm with a helpless sigh, before looking up at Shiki, who looked embarrassed in the sky.

"Old lion, look what you've done!"

Chapter 356 The Undercurrents of Wano Country

"Wow, this really doesn't seem like a human battle!"

In a shrine nestled on Mount Miki in Wano Country, a woman with heterochromatic hair and horns raises a lit cigar.

Wearing sunglasses, she somehow managed to see the pink-haired girl scolding Shiki by the riverbank where Udon and Miki were located, even though they were thousands of miles apart and separated by mountains and forests.

"Stop playing around and get to work!"

A deep voice came from afar, directly into the woman's ears.

"Sigh, that guy is just as ruthless as the Commander. I was the one who rescued him back in God Valley back then."

The long-horned woman lying on the ground stretched, her black military uniform, bound by a leather belt, taut over her open blouse, the straightened leather jacket outlining her ample bosom.

Behind her were two men dressed in white suits and top hats, drawing a huge pentagram rune on the ground.

After writing down the mysterious characters, the two approached the woman and knelt respectfully before her. "Maffei Palace, what you needed has been prepared!"

"Hmm, well done, CP5!"

Thatchers Maffei flicked the ash from her cigarette with her slender fingers, stood up, and strode past two CP5 agents with her long, straight legs.

The next instant, the heads of two CP agents wearing hats rolled all over the ground, their faces still showing the joy of possible future promotions.

"I'm sorry, but we can't reveal that we're in Wano Country. Also, I've made sure to cut off your heads when you're happiest, so you shouldn't feel any pain, right?" Despite saying these apologetic words, Mafi's head showed no remorse when she turned around.

She walked slowly to the center of the pentagram magic circle, reached out and pressed down on it, and some kind of invisible energy gathered towards the center.

Boom!

Black lightning cleaved the sky and violently struck the shrine's torii gate, while ominous dark flames burned from above the pentagram, scorching two figures that gradually became clearer.

"Has the mess been cleaned up?"

The man with long red hair and a braided collar, dressed in a magnificent long-sleeved military uniform with a scarf tied at the collar, had only taken two steps when his black boots plunged directly into the crimson blood.

The splattered blood stained his sword sheath and the bandages on the legs of the blue-haired girl who walked out beside him.

As the filth of the lower realm spread across their precious treasure, the two focused their 'calm' gazes on the summoner.

"Junzi, this isn't my fault. It was the commander who ordered me to handle the aftermath!" Sensing that something was wrong, Mafi immediately waved her hand to explain.

"Stop talking nonsense, is that rabid dog here?"

The current leader of the Knights of God, Figarando Shamrock, raised his hand to interrupt Mafi, and expressionlessly pressed down on his longsword.

"Rest assured, I saw her with my own eyes on that blasphemer's ship."

With a serious expression, Maffei held the cigar between two fingers and gave Shamrock an OK sign.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's finish the mission quickly!"

Junko, a blue-haired girl with heterochromatic eyes, put on the headphones hanging around her neck and walked past Shamlock to the front.

The blood-stained bandages slowly detached, transforming into black arrows under the influence of the ability. They intertwined and entangled, forming a large bird that faintly radiated a metallic sheen.

"Calm down, Junzi. We don't have the strength to fight those monsters."

Shamlock, wearing a red glove, pressed his hand on Junzi's shoulder. "Moreover, it seems that something in this country is interfering with the signal. The energy transmission of the pentagram is unstable, and it would be dangerous to act rashly."

After throwing the cigar on the ground and stomping it out, Maffei suggested, "How about this, let's go to those two safe houses prepared by CP5 first, and then make our move after the pirates have fought each other to the point of exhaustion."

"Ok!"

Shamrock nodded in support of the idea.

When Junko heard her superior speak, she also removed the arrows from her body and followed the two down from the completely collapsed Takayama Shrine, heading towards Ringo.

.

.

On the other side, within the Mirror World.

"Ho...ho...ho! I thought I was going to die!"

Brulee, her body pale and resembling a withered tree branch, lay on the ground, panting heavily as if she had survived a catastrophe.

She had exhausted almost all her strength to force open a passage large enough for her mother to pass through.

"Thank you for your hard work, Brulee!"

Katakuri, covered in blood, dragged his badly injured body to her and helped her up.

"Brother Katakuri!"

Upon seeing her most respected brother suffer such severe injuries, Brulee immediately burst into tears.

Using the mirror world, Carrera retrieves her battlefield first aid kit and cleans and bandages Katakuri's wounds.

Charlotte Linlin, sitting to the side, saw the severed arm that had chased into the Mirror World, and her eyes blazed with barely suppressed rage.

Take a step back, the more you think about it, the more angry you become!

"Damn it, Prometheus, the stolen fire!" Charlotte Linlin cried out.

The previously chaotic flames suddenly rose and converged, forming a sun radiating a warm halo, revealing a face with a human-like smile.

"Yes, Mom!"

The blazing flames surged and burned, and Prometheus autonomously locked onto Sakura's severed limb on the ground, charging towards it fiercely, forming a huge pillar of fire that coiled around it.

boom!

Explosion, high temperature, flames—the severed limbs turned to ashes in this extreme light, vanishing without a trace with a gust of wind.

Charlotte Linlin was still not satisfied after doing all that. She turned and cast a blank stare at Brulee and Katakuri, who were bandaging her wounds. "You two, why did you bring me out of the battlefield?!"

Why? Why else could it be?

They're afraid you'll get beaten to death if you stay there!

I fear tomorrow's headline in Morgans will be: "80-year-old man watches his mother being beaten by a mob without offering help; is this a distortion of humanity or a decline in morality?"

"Cough cough! Mom!" Katakuri coughed and patted Brulee's hand, gesturing for her to help him sit up. "Because we can't afford to lose you, we can't afford to lose this round!"

Even someone as powerful as Charlotte Linlin would risk defeat and death if surrounded by two powerful masters at the level of emperors.

However, pirate crews on the high seas are mainly united by the captain's personal strength, wealth, or reputation.

If anything happens to the captain, even the powerful and stable Totland could face disintegration.

The only option now is to join forces with Kaido, and on the basis of ensuring that our two strongest fighters are not surrounded by the enemy leader, we can use the geographical advantage of Wano Country and our superior manpower to wipe them out!

"hateful--!"

The Homies unleashed their respective powers, once again taking turns slamming into the direction of Sakura's severed arm, leaving the entire mirror world in disarray and riddled with cracks.

Brûlée helped Katakuri to his feet, and the two watched as Charlotte Linlin vented her anger by destroying everything in sight, waiting for her to come to her senses.

After raging through the smoke for more than ten minutes, Charlotte Linlin, who had finally calmed down, rode out on Zeus and flew with her two children toward the mirror where Ghost Island was located.

After the three left, in the huge pit of the mirror world.

Fine white substances crawled towards the center, slowly gathering into a fair hand.

Immediately afterwards, emerald green vines grew from the broken end, took root in the earth, and began to explore the surrounding area.

At the very center, the palm is turned upwards, a fine crack appears, and emerald eyes open from within.

After turning around and looking around, an excited look appeared in his eyes.

"Oh, that's interesting!"
