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

The dazzling light engulfed everything.

The flames spread, blasting a spherical vacuum into the surrounding clouds. Residual lightning streaked and flowed through the storm, hurtling towards Sakura and Shiki with undiminished force.

"Old Lion, you're not good at this either, watch me!" Sakura joked with him, then gripped the Storm Greatsword and swung it forcefully, "Storm Sword - Mighty Kingdom!"

The radiant light emanating from the greatsword's blade tore apart all the mixed colors, and its domineering aura decomposed the lightning into the finest electrical charges. At the forefront of the endless rushing colors, a pale, sword-like streak moved across the landscape, flowing smoothly like a paintbrush.

"As expected, you're quite adept at manipulating the elements!" Charlotte Linlin's elegant face twisted into a sinister grin. "But unfortunately, I'm also good at this!"

Charlotte Linlin, her body swelling, raised her hand, which was imbued with Armament Haki, and unleashed an invisible armor in front of her to collide with the impact of the mighty force. With her other hand, she pulled out her soul from her body and slammed it down against the storm contained within the impact.

In an instant, a cruel light seemed to erupt from it, and ripples spread slowly, condensing a magnificent and vast power on the storm without seeking destruction.

"Come on, serve me, Anemi!"

The queen who ruled over souls excitedly opened her arms and laughed heartily.

The storm gathered more and more in her hands, finally forming a Homie shaped like a small tornado. She opened her eyes at the eye of the storm and grinned, "Yes, Mom!"

"Tsk, Sakura, I think you're the one who's not up to par. How many times have you given her power now?" Shiki turned to Sakura and taunted her when he saw that the other side had another elemental Homie.

Sakura remained silent, giving Shiki a mysterious smile. "Don't rush, let the bullets fly a little longer!"

In the distance, Charlotte Linlin, who had obtained the fifth Homie, couldn't wait to use her abilities to control the five Homies.

"Zeus! Tammuz! Napoleon! Agnimié! Prometheus!"

"Yes, Mom!" *5

She called out to the Homies, whom she had personally named, and raised the Napoleon sword in her hand, making them wrap around the blade.

The four elemental Homies each shone brightly and rushed toward the greatsword, and the next moment the blade of the greatsword refracted the illusory light of countless falling stars.

"Mama, Mama, take this, Sakura Haruno!!!"

With both hands raised, Charlotte Linlin raised a terrifying afterglow capable of annihilating souls, and laughed maniacally as she swung her sword.

"Hey, that thing is really bad! Sakura, you better think of something right now!" Shiki's Observation Haki was frantically warning him, as if every corner of this space was filled with enemies, urging him to leave.

He had seen this level of reality distortion in many people, and he certainly knew its other name—Fruit Awakening!

"Hmm, have all the Homies been fused together?" The girl finally made a move after hearing Shiki's urging.

She gently raised her hand and formed a hand seal in Charlotte Linlin's direction, drawing upon her chakra!

——Ninja Technique·Four Symbols Seal!

Sakura was certainly prepared for Charlotte Linlin's repeated tricks.

When she swung the Storm Sword earlier, she deliberately mixed the chakra of a pre-set sealing technique into the storm.

When Charlotte Linlin used her soul to create a Homie, the chakra within it would enter its body along with the elemental energy.

When the Homie created by Sakura and Charlotte Linlin merges with other Homies to launch an attack, that is the best time for Sakura's trap to be activated!

At this moment, as Charlotte Linlin swung her sword down, the balance between the elements began to go berserk, unleashing the uncontrolled power of her soul.

"Ah, ah ah!"

Charlotte Linlin was entangled by this force, and her whole body began to spin.

A large amount of black ink gushed out from the blade that was originally wrapped in endless blazing light, followed by sealing runes spreading from her greatsword toward her body.

"Hey, Lingling! Quickly use your domineering aura to counteract it!"

Kaido reacted the fastest, immediately swinging his special staff, which was wrapped in two colors of Haki, and slamming it down on the berserk giant sword Napoleon.

Instantly, the domineering aura capable of shattering all abnormal energy shook Charlotte Linlin's ability to entangle the Homies.

Charlotte Linlin, who had also realized what was happening, increased her input of Ryuo Sakura, completely tearing the fused Homie apart.

Zeus, Prometheus, and Napoleon burst forth and rushed to her side, while Tamuz and Anemie, created using Sakura's chakra, flew into the air and were eventually swallowed up by the black water of the sealing technique and disappeared.

"They escaped unscathed?" Sakura saw Charlotte Linlin and Kaido panting heavily in the distance, but she didn't feel much regret.

Meanwhile, Shiki subtly moved further away from Sakura, afraid that the cunning girl might leave him some hidden tricks if he wasn't careful.

"Damn it, she actually tricked me!" Charlotte Linlin was filled with regret.

The destruction of the two Homies not only destroyed the two new abilities, but also the lifespan of the two corresponding souls.

This wave of losses is tantamount to buying more blades before the forging competition.

"Use that move, old woman! Your skills shouldn't have deteriorated yet!"

Kaido raised his spiked club, and Conqueror's Haki emanated from his entire body, with the tip of the iron club glowing purple.

"This is the only way, otherwise that brat and that bastard Shiki will look down on us!"

Charlotte Linlin, having composed herself, unleashed her cruel and destructive aura, her boiling power further amplifying Napoleon and imbuing him with an aura of dominance.

Amidst the swirling lightning, the massive sword and spiked club, intertwined with each other, were lifted behind the two towering sea lords.

For a fleeting moment, a blindingly sharp light shot into the sky.

"Overlord of the Sea—!!!" *2

Chapter 367 The Sage Mode That Ends Everything

In that instant, the murderous intent that had reached its peak in the pitch-black sky erupted like a volcanic eruption, turning the entire Ghost Island and the flowers crimson.

Immediately, with a thunderous roar, the massive purple spiral-shaped impact transformed into a destructive torrent, surging and raging.

Driven by the will of the two overlords, an even more tyrannical and domineering aura than ever before was ignited, unleashing a terrifying storm powerful enough to shake the entire ocean!

Dark lightning roared through the void along with destructive rumbles, and from the spreading aftershocks, the earth melted into magma and the flowing clouds shattered into powder.

The torn sky disrupted the water vapor cycle, and gradually, a sticky, suffocating downpour began to fall.

"Oh no, it's that move!"

Having traveled from the Rocks era to the present, Shiki has naturally witnessed Kaido and Charlotte Linlin using this combined attack technique on the ship many times.

Its principle and essence are not difficult to understand. It is a copy and reshaping of the legendary spear of the giant race, and then the element of Conqueror's Haki is added to transform it.

Charlotte Linlin, who had stayed in a giant village and witnessed giant combat techniques, taught Kaido the move, and the two of them together popularized it.

Even within the Rocks Pirates, where chaos and betrayal were commonplace, few dared to provoke these two, and that was the reason why.

Although in the past, as a companion, I would have felt very reassured to see the two of them work together to deliver this blow, destroying ships and tearing the sea apart.

But now, as an enemy facing an impact the size of this island, I still can't help but feel... fear.

Wait, I'm scared? I, Shiki, am actually scared?

"The old lion?"

Sakura's Observation Haki suddenly detected the unusual aura and gave him a puzzled look.

"Haha, hahahaha!" Letting the rain, stirred up by the storm, pelt his face, Shiki looked up and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He was afraid, he was apprehensive, but this moment also presented him with an opportunity to break through the barriers and move forward.

Even if his body gradually ages, once his will decays, then this old man will truly be left behind by the new era!

"Don't interfere, Sakura! Even if I die here today, you're not allowed to interfere!!!" Shiki's slightly turned face revealed a domineering eye.

The old man, his trench coat and long hair billowing in the wind, spread the blades held in his hands and feet. A floating force distorted reality, whipping up wind, snow, and rain that swirled around the blades. Dark lightning danced between the rain and the gale, rapidly enhancing the power of his swordsmanship and abilities.

"...May your military prowess be great!"

Sakura was silent for a moment before offering her blessing.

"Jie hahahaha!"

The no-longer-old lion laughed as it charged forward, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, towards the combined might of Charlotte Linlin and Kaido.

Dark lightning gathered to its peak, and the flow of Armament Haki transcended the constraints of his own blood, finally giving birth to a wisp of crimson lightning.

Shiki spread out all the swords and blades on his hands and feet, and with the help of the levitation force, he spun around, transforming into a crimson vortex that rushed towards the purple impact.

He sacrificed himself to deliver the most powerful blow.

——The power of the lion, all the royal palaces are gone! ! !

boom!

In the blink of an eye, the powerful collision across the void unleashed terrifying wind pressure, and a blinding white light rose up, accompanied by raging lightning that left scorched marks on the two floating islands.

Sakura raised her hand and crushed a falling bolt of lightning, her gaze fixed intently on the blood-red vortex and purple impact amidst the intense conflict.

The destructive flames spread like a tide, and amidst the buoyancy that constantly gathered and distorted reality, the crimson vortex gradually sawed through the shockwave. Finally, it burst forth with a deafening roar in a thunderstorm woven from countless bolts of lightning, tearing a huge gash in the sky.

"Ho...ho...ho!"

Her golden kimono haori was tattered, the lining was soaked with spilled blood, and a large section of her hair had been cut off.

Shiki, looking miserable, floated down from the sky and hovered silently in front of Sakura.

"Hahaha, I won!!!"

Having swept away the confusion and gloom in his heart, Shiki, whose vital signs were extremely weak but whose spirit was almost turning into crimson lightning, was incredibly excited.

"Congratulations!" Sakura nodded slightly, offering her respect to the warrior who had triumphed over fate and returned.

"I didn't expect you to be stupid enough to deliberately take that hit~."

Charlotte Linlin, riding Zeus on a dark cloud, flew rapidly towards the two. Napoleon, wielding a massive sword, wore a ferocious expression, his face wreathed in thick, dual-colored Haki. "Don't blame us for taking advantage of your vulnerability, Shiki!"

Kaido, also riding on a cloud of flames, swiftly traversed the void, his entire body transforming into a straight line, pulling lightning as he covered Sakura and Shiki with his massive form, his spiked club raised high.

"How could that be? Shouldn't we pirates be overjoyed to be able to give everything for the fight?"

Sakura, who was being attacked by the two of them, raised her emerald eyes and gave Shiki his answer, who was so exhausted that he couldn't even speak.

At the same time, a large amount of natural energy was gathered in an instant, and the immortal cells in the girl's body began to activate.

It was as if countless lush giant trees were growing out of the void, their life force so immense that even the girl's powerful body could not fully contain it, swirling and dissipating to the surroundings, forming a cluster of fragrant, emerald stars.

The flames of Sage Chakra ignited, expanded, and spread, obscuring the figures of the two, making them invisible to the outside world.

"Great Mighty Thunderous Eight Trigrams!" "Emperor's Sword - Shattering Blade!"

Bursting forth with brutal killing intent, the weapons of the two Sea Emperors arrived before Sakura, unleashing their punishment upon the enemy without hesitation.

when!

The powerful combined attack struck with a thunderous roar, and at the same time, the spiked club and greatsword were smashed open by the powerful recoil, leaving two clear cracks.

"What?" "How could this be?"

Charlotte Linlin and Kaido's pupils contracted simultaneously, and they instinctively tried to distance themselves from the monster whose aura was constantly rising.

However... her arms emerged from the burning light and simultaneously grabbed Charlotte Linlin and Kaido's arms.

As the flames subsided, the emerald haori, made of Sage Chakra and attached to the girl's body, exuded a dangerous aura, and the two single horns protruding from her forehead flickered with cherry-pink flames.

The giant sword Yun Gang, which she had been holding, had disappeared, replaced by a straight wooden spear with a green tassel floating behind her.

"Is it this trick again?"

Upon witnessing the same technique that had previously defeated him, Kaido's eyes blazed with excitement.

"As expected, my stamina is rapidly depleting?"

Charlotte Linlin clenched her fist, noticing something amiss, and almost instinctively spread Armament Haki all over her body.

Taking a deep breath, the girl's hoarse voice rang in their ears.

The domineering aura emanating from the girl's will burned intensely in her eyes, stinging the eyes of the other two:

"Let's use this Sage Mode to bring our war to a close!"

Chapter 368 The Emperor's Retreat

"Deal with us? Don't be so arrogant!"

Charlotte Linlin's rage and anger were clearly visible, and her voice changed from a low murmur to a high-pitched roar.

Since she stepped onto the sea and entered the treacherous world of pirates, no one has ever dared to underestimate her to this extent.

It's just a mere ability to accelerate power consumption; at worst, I can just defeat this brat before my power runs out.

"Does it have to be a one-against-two situation? Ugh!"
