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

boom!

The sound of the surging tides echoed in the sky, condensing into a tangible force and domineering aura that collided to create shockwaves.

Many of the falling shells were blown away, but many more still broke through and tore apart the rocks on the outer edge of Ghost Island.

They swiftly and decisively penetrated the fortress's interior, where attics, doors, magnificent halls, and offices... everything was ablaze with flames amidst the light.

Enraged, Kaido transformed into a full dragon form and charged toward Shiki, while Charlotte Linlin once again rode her cloud, heading straight for Sakura's face.

King against king, general against general, adhering to the ancient traditions of the sea, the battle of four overlords begins.

Beneath this fierce battle sky, the two floating islands, Ghost Island and Flower City, also collided.

After the intense flames and violent tremors subsided, the members of the two pirate crews began their battle.

"Beasts Pirates, charge!"

The first to make a move was Jin, who flapped his wings and charged straight at the emotionless giant girl sitting on the spaceship without any hesitation.

The Pteranodon's already jet-black body was now stained with Armament Haki, and the flames burning behind it made its body even tougher. Its sharp wings curled up like crescent moons, swirling and slashing.

—Emperor Dan Gong!

"Wow, interesting. So the target is me?"

The enormous white-haired girl stood up, her body rapidly growing larger under the influence of her power. A large amount of iron sand gathered from the ground below, forming armor that she wore.

Behemoth's scales, a mixture of iron sand and Armament Haki, formed an absolute defense. The raging behemoth roared and ignited the flames of the Lunaria tribe to meet the sharp blade.

The two collided with a deafening roar, momentarily halting the swirling air currents. The shockwave sent the Beast Pirates members, who had charged alongside King, flying, signaling the start of the battle.

Seeing the clash of their powerful auras, Katakuri, still injured, picked up his trident and shouted, "Big Mom Pirates, prepare for battle!"

Gathered around him were the top executives of the Charlotte family: Owen, Daifuku, Snag, Armand, Castaard... each holding Charlotte Linlin's Vivre Card, leading the newly created Ice Oni Homies to invade the City of Lights.

Intense heat radiated across the land, melting it; steam-formed demons wielded their pheasant swords; swordsmen unleashed a flurry of flying slashes that roared through the air; and the Homies, with crazed smiles, released their virus...

"Oh my gosh~ This is a rare opportunity, so let me be your opponent~"

A languid tone rose into the air amidst terrifying darkness, and jet-black wings blotted out the sky. The Night Sparrow, walking in the shadows, cast a ferocious gaze at the many offspring of the Charlotte family.

Faced with the magical scene created by the Charlotte family members, she raised her wings and gently flapped them.

In that instant, everything went black for everyone on the battlefield!

Freed from the constraints of sight, the writhing darkness on Leviathan seemed to come alive, eagerly crawling out from every inch of shadow, its enormous maw opening to swallow the attacks of the Charlotte family members.

The grating sound of chewing echoed throughout the battlefield, sending chills down the spines of everyone who experienced this darkness.

"Their leaders are so cool! I need to work harder too!"

The girl in the children's kimono raised her arms, flexed her biceps, and was about to charge into the chaotic battlefield.

"Cough cough cough, you're not allowed to go!"

Ace swiftly pulled Xiaoyu down and casually shoved her into the arms of a winged sniper. "Protect this child! She's Sister Ying's disciple!"

The winged soldiers saluted Ace, slung their guns behind their backs, and, carrying Xiaoyu, quickly flew towards a distant, smoke-free location amidst her protests.

"Hmm, look what I've discovered! The perfect beastmen of Milian Island—the Winged Race?"

Mixed in with the crowd, the half-beast cyborg Plague Quinn spotted the Winged Clan soldier carrying Jade as they fled the battlefield, and a longing gleamed in his eyes.

A cunning smile spread across its bloated face. Mechanical arms extended from its braid, left hand, and tail, and light particles began to accumulate at the central cannon muzzle.

"Thank you so much! You've given my dissection lab another species of specimen! Hahaha!"

"You bastard, what do you think you're doing!"

The boy's powerful words tore through the air like a spear, and a ferocious Conqueror's Haki surged from his body, engulfing every sense of Quinn.

Ace, the Supreme Grade Sword of the Twelve, forged in blood and fire! Resonating with the swordsmanship of its former wielder, it unleashes a strike powerful enough to tear mountains apart and cleave the seas.

—God avoid!

A wisp of dark lightning and a red halo emanated from Ace's hand, and the perfectly condensed flying slash pierced through the laser emitted by Quinn.

"You...how is this possible!"

Quinn, a scientist, widened his eyes and shattered the sunglasses he was wearing.

You arrogant cultivators are going too far! That's a laser beam!

How the hell can someone use sword skills to cut through a laser?

Where's the physics? Please help!

"This sword strike... is so powerful!" Ace stared in disbelief at the sword in his hand.

An aura, not belonging to him but able to blend with his domineering presence, surged from above, amplifying the power of his sword technique the instant he swung it.

"You brat, how long are you going to ignore me? I'm not defeated by you yet!"

Seeing Ace staring blankly at the sword after slicing through his own laser, Queen, feeling slighted, roared.

So what if they can cleave lasers? Swordsmen and warriors are ultimately beings who hone their mortal bodies. Flesh and blood will eventually wear down and tire, but steel and metal can keep running as long as they have energy.

"Don't underestimate my science! My technological prowess is world-class!"

Quinn's body transformed completely into a giant Brachiosaurus, lowering its head and charging towards Ace with its massive body.

Caught off guard, Ace could only raise his sword to parry, but was carried away by Quinn's massive body and the mass of the modified Iron Brachiosaurus.

On the battlefield, the executives of the various pirate crews, including Beasts, Flying, Other Shore, and Big Mom, were all engaged in fierce fighting.

Jack, the only one who rushed from Ghost Island into the City, looked around and found that there was no one in the entire battlefield who could even stand a chance against him.

"Lord Jack, what should we do next?"

A pirate dressed in a Viking-style fur coat rushed up to Jack, knelt down on one knee, and asked him about the next steps.

"Release the beastmen, and you few come with me!"

Jack gripped the ivory with both hands, infusing it with domineering power, and with a whirling motion, drew out two sharp longswords.

Leading his Beasts Pirates crew, he stormed into the Flower Capital, intending to wreak havoc on the city that had been turned into an enemy camp.

However, as he entered this familiar neighborhood, the ship-borne cannons scattered across the high ground of the capital were simultaneously prepared for him, their rifling barrels spitting out intense light.

"Eh?"

Boom boom boom boom——!

Chapter 360 Lion and Dragon, Flower and Soul

Sky battlefield.

The dense shadows were cut into four pieces by the flowing flames and lightning, as precisely as if measured with a ruler.

"Hahaha, why is Kaido hiding? Where is your prized defense?" Shiki grinned mockingly.

His two swords were already swords, and he held a fine, sharp sword in each hand. He looked like a golden spider, and every movement of his spider legs unleashed a massive amount of slashing attacks.

"Hmph, you've become quite the smooth talker since you were healed, Shiki!" The dragon turned its head and retorted coldly.

Its streamlined body, combined with the anticipation of Observation Haki, swam through the sea of ​​slashes, like a dance.

Knowing the great swordsmen well, he wouldn't be foolish enough to take a direct hit with his body. Instead, he would look for an opportunity to approach Shiki and teach these swordsmen with high attack but low defense a lesson.

As it smashed through the clouds, the scorching flames that had been accumulating within Kaido's dragon head collapsed for a moment before erupting forth.

—Hot Breath!

The enormous pillar of fire stretched straight ahead, and the water vapor boiled under the high temperature, forming rings of vapor that surrounded the flames.

A rainbow flashed in Shiki's pupils, and a line of white light appeared clearly in his eyes. Then he raised his sword, stepped forward, and slashed out with force.

—Slice the waves!

The violent and surging blade light easily tore through the flames. From beginning to end, Shiki's swordsmanship only consisted of one move: the Wave Slash. Yet, it was this one move that allowed him to conquer the world, roam the seas for over forty years, and defeat countless powerful enemies.

At this moment, this pure flying slash cut Kaido's heat breath in half again, and the remaining power flowed upwards to strike Kaido's dragon body.

puff!

Blood sprayed into the air, and even the hard dragon scales and Kaido's demon body could not resist the Ryuo that Shiki wrapped around his slash, and were cut open.

"Ouch!" Kaido cried out in pain.

The enormous dragon body struggled and thrashed wildly in the air, realizing that retaining its dragon form while fighting the swordsman was a foolish thing to do.

Kaido's body emitted a white light, and his enormous dragon head and body continued to shrink until he finally transformed into a dragon-man, standing above the clouds carrying a spiked club.

"Wow, a Zoan-type humanoid form?" Shiki raised an eyebrow. "Is he adopting this form to conserve energy? Is he about to collapse?"

Using his Observation Haki to lock onto his opponent, he discovered that the wounds on his opponent's body had stopped bleeding, and even the scales he had shattered had been squeezed out, with new, fine blue scales growing in their place.

Sigh, animal-themed!

"Old man, all you've got is a mouth. If you're so capable, how did you end up with a ship's rudder stuck in your head?" Kaido, who looks serious and upright, is just as good as Shiki at exposing secrets and spouting trash talk.

These two sentences immediately made Shi Jigan red-hot.

Dark lightning descended from the sky amidst the howling winds and turbulent clouds.

Covering everything, encompassing all.

Heavy, cold, and cruel.

"If you want to know that much, I'll break off a piece myself and stuff it into your head today!" Shiki roared as he charged forward.

Two colors of domineering aura swirled and covered the swords on his hands and feet, intertwining and rubbing against each other, slashing out with sword light as fine as raindrops.

Seeing that his trash talk had worked, Kaido laughed and raised his spiked club, charging forward to engage Shiki in close combat: "If you can do it, then come on!"

Thus, countless afterimages of spiked clubs and longswords rose and spread, disappearing into the increasingly heavy dark clouds around them, instantly turning the storm-ravaged clouds pure white.

Immediately afterwards, a dark cloud pierced through the thunderous clouds and crashed hard into the girl with long pink hair.

"You brat, if you lose today, I'll take you and your daughter back to breed with you. Then my Torrent will never lack giants again!" Charlotte Linlin's face was ferocious, and her scarlet tongue stuck out and licked her lips.

"Zeus!"

She shouted.

"I'm here, Mom!"

Behind her, Zeus, who had gathered a great deal of lightning across the battlefield, responded loudly.

Charlotte Linlin stretched out her hand and plunged it into the thundercloud.

The thundercloud instantly expanded in size, transforming into a gigantic thundercloud.

"Powerful drum!"

Charlotte Linlin let out an angry shout, but it was quickly drowned out by the rolling thunder beside her. Lightning bolts, like dragons, raced across the sky, whipping up purple lightning pillars dozens of meters high that crashed down on Sakura.

Wow, this level of electrical work.

Even dogs wouldn't eat the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

Sakura raised the Cloud Sword, and the high-energy particles generated by the thermal circulation also released a large amount of lightning. Her voice overlapped with the deafening, high-pitched thunder, turning into a solemn admonition that seemed to resonate like the sea and sky.

"Ah Ling-chan, we're all mothers now. It's incredibly rude of you to gossip about other people and their children like this!"

The two-colored Haki intertwined, and the power circulating in the Cloud Grid was transformed into lightning capable of tearing everything apart.

At that moment, the dazzling dark lightning tore through Charlotte Lingling's purple lightning, bridging the insignificant distance between them, dispelling the last dark clouds, and piercing through the powerful enemy blocking their way, like a god unleashing a thunder hammer of punishment upon the disrespectful.

Boom!

The thunder, like an endless, raging dragon, echoed across the sky, surrounded by a cluster of stars.

The sight made all the pirates in battle jump, and they couldn't help but raise their greedy and ambitious eyes to peer into the realm above that belonged to the emperors.

Just then, from the lightning that swept across the sky above the battlefield, a colossal object suddenly separated from it, swept past countless pirates fighting together, and crashed heavily into the center of the battlefield, spewing smoke.

Katakuri, who was leading his brothers and sisters toward Leviathan, had a flash of rainbow light in his pupils. His Observation Haki, which allowed him to foresee the future, had already taken the lead in seeing the entirety of the falling object.

His face immediately turned ashen, and he exclaimed, "Mom?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Katakuri immediately tried to turn back, but Leviathan, whose offensive and defensive positions had shifted, would not let him leave so easily. The dark thorns on the ground became more numerous and denser, spiraling and strangling towards the Charlotte Family's executives.

"Hahaha, the fight up there is really intense! We can't lose to them, right, Katakuri!"

"Damn it!" Katakuri roared.
