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

Nicole Olvia's gaze was somewhat unfocused as she stretched out her hands toward the enormous object in front of her.

Driven by her husband's dying wish, she abandoned her two-year-old daughter and rushed into the sea, all to seek the truth of history.

Now that the interpreter and the text are right before her eyes, how could she not be deeply moved?

"Wait, aren't you searching for the Void Century? What does that have to do with Titans?"

Sakura also recalled the ancient ruins where she obtained the fruit, and the apology inscribed on them.

“According to Ohara’s research, we discovered that after a war, an ancient giant group called the ‘Great Hammer Chapter’ was commissioned to build a giant ship.”

"Our voyage is to follow in their footsteps and to fill the gap in our research on the blank century from their perspective."

As Nicole Olvia explained to Sakura, the old merchant ship gradually approached the island.

After Uncle Seton lowered the anchor, the scholars on board rushed off the ship and ran toward the distant temple.

"The West Blue actually hides a place like this. Hasn't the World Government taken action to wipe it out?"

Following Nico Olvia through the jungle, Sakura used her Observation Haki to touch various areas.

"Isn't directly targeting people the most efficient method, rather than destroying relics hidden around the world?"

Nicole Olvia's brows furrowed deeply, her face filled with disdain.

It seems that the scholars of the Ohara tribe have suffered quite a few misdeeds at the hands of the World Government.

Suddenly, a red light swept across Sakura's pupils; her Observation Haki detected the approach of a large number of life forms.

"Hey, stop! It looks like something's coming!"

Sakura's roar made the group of scholars stop in their tracks and draw their weapons to prepare for battle.

boom!

Giant claws tore through the forest, sharp teeth crushed giant trees, and the 'masters' who had guarded this ancient temple for many years now looked down at these tiny humans with their bestial eyes.

"A monster...a monster!" a scholar exclaimed incoherently.

Giant apes, mammoths, black wolves, giant snakes, polar bears... the enormous bodies of these beasts made it impossible for them to even muster the will to resist.

"Sakura, run...run!"

Nicole Olvia, her pupils also constricted and her forehead dripping with cold sweat, reached out to grab Sakura beside her.

However, Sakura Haruno, who should have been standing obediently beside her, was nowhere to be seen.

"Oh, really? You've been left here to be guarded?"

Sakura Haruno's voice rang out from afar, and the scholars, who were fleeing in terror, turned around.

Only then did they realize that the petite girl had somehow averted the crisis.

The giant ape raised its hands, allowing Sakura to stand in its palms.

Black Wolf sat obediently, sticking out his nose for her to stroke.

The polar bear stretched out its paw, took out some honey, and shared it with her.

Even the enormous mammoths and giant snakes standing beside her seemed to be telling Sakura something, their heads bobbing as if they were telling her something.

"Eh???"

A large group of scholars stared wide-eyed, their eyes bulging out of their sockets.

A moment later, at the entrance to the enormous temple.

"Bye-Bye!"

Sakura Haruno waved goodbye to the giant beasts that were turning to leave.

"You're such an unpredictable kid!"

Nicole Olvia, looking annoyed, cupped Sakura's face and lifted her up.

"Hmm, is that the point? Isn't exploring the temple more important right now?"

Sakura, who was being squeezed, whimpered, her little feet struggling as they couldn't touch the ground.

"Yes, it's time to listen carefully to these voices in the silence!"

Having said all she had to say, Nicole Olvia released Sakura.

I strode forward and stepped into the darkness of the temple.

Chapter 32 Hey, someone come quick! The pirates have captured the Marines?

"This is...."

Sakura and the others raise torches, and the twinkling starlight from human civilization illuminates ancient memories.

From that moment on, what was presented to all the scholars was a painting that stretched across the entire wall of the great temple.

Like a silent confession, eight hundred years later, the information left behind by the ancient giants lies dormant here, conveying a belief that must be passed on even in destruction, towards the distant future.

"The Grimoire of Halle!"

Upon seeing the picture before her, Sakura couldn't help but read out the four large characters at the very center.

"what is that?"

The scholars around Sakura anxiously gathered around her, and Nicole Olvia asked them the questions that had been on their minds.

Sakura didn't answer them; her eyes were somewhat unfocused.

In her daze, she saw survival, death, struggle, chaos, order, stars, continents, oceans...

And from the days of old, there was a great gun that sought to pave the way for freedom for all living beings!

—The Spear of Elbaf!

The stirring will that resounded eight hundred years ago was displayed with unparalleled clarity before Sakura.

"Well!"

Facing the intense light of the spear, Sakura awoke with a sob.

"Sakura! Sakura?"

When she came to her senses, she found herself being held in Nicole Olvia's arms, who was calling her name repeatedly.

"Sorry for making you worry."

Sakura regained her footing with the help of Nico Olvia.

"What did you just see?!"

Curious scholars crowded around, and people nearby also took out paper and pens, ready to record Sakura's words at any time.

"Willpower, a willpower that has lasted for eight hundred years!"

"It seems that the ancient giants had the skill of storing their will in objects, and they just 'sharply' hit me across time and space."

Sakura covered her eyes with her hands, then looked up and burst into laughter.

The scholars hurriedly wrote down Sakura's words, and then Nicole Olvia stepped forward to ask her further questions.

"Anything else? How much do you know about this mural?"

"This is the Codex of Halley, a story passed down through generations of giants. Ancient legends reveal that our world has been destroyed twice!"

Combining the story of the Second Civilization depicted on the murals in front of them, Sakura began to translate it for them, referring to some of the blurry text.

Long ago, a great kingdom was born, possessing incredibly advanced technology and ideas far surpassing those of other regions.

A person from this vast kingdom continues to spread its ideology, causing enslaved people in various countries to rise up in rebellion, and wars to break out in all parts of the world.

Finally, the kings who feared this man rallied under the influence of another ideology, forming a temporary united army. They defeated that vast kingdom and shaped the world as we know it today.

"Yes, it matches some of the previous scattered texts, and is even more comprehensive!"

The scholars who had finished proofreading shouted with joy, while the other scholars trembled and embraced each other in twos and threes to celebrate.

"finally...."

Tears welled in Nicole Olvia's eyes, and her body went limp, on the verge of collapsing.

"Are you alright, Olvia?"

Sakura quickly stepped forward to support her, preventing her from falling to the ground.

"It's nothing, thank you, thank you so much!"

Nicole Olvia held Sakura in her arms, tears of emotion streaming down her face onto the stone slab.

The next step was the scholars' work. They made a proportional replica of the murals and asked Sakura to help translate and organize the materials.

Several months passed quickly, and the exploration of the temple was nearing its end.

In the process of participating in the research, Sakura not only learned the common script of the One Piece world, but also learned ancient script from the scholars of Ohara.

"Hehe, now I'm your accomplice!"

The dilapidated merchant ship set sail once again, and Sakura, sitting at the bow, jokingly teased the scholars behind her.

"Okay!"

"Welcome!"

"Come back to Ohara with us!"

The scholars laughed as they raised their glasses, drinking their fill amidst laughter and the clinking of wooden cups.

Just as Sakura raised her glass, a cannon shot interrupted the celebration.

"Ok!"

Sakura suddenly turned around, manipulating the seawater with her water-style chakra nature transformation, creating a whirlpool.

boom--!

The shell struck the seawater, triggering a violent explosion.

The scorching flames and impacts swept the seawater heavily onto the merchant ship, and the flames spread throughout the vessel.

"Tsk, not skilled yet." Sakura clicked her tongue.

"No...it's terrible, it's the government's navy!"

Uncle Seton, wearing glasses, shouted, and some scholars rushed to put out the fire.

Other scholars rushed into the cabin to salvage the precious documents.

On the distant warship, seeing that the vessel they were firing upon was merely an ordinary ship, Vice Admiral Haguvar D. Sauro, who was stationed on the ship, berated his soldiers.

"Stop attacking, just capture them, they're not brutal pirates!"

"Are you a bunch of useless trash that even scholars can't catch?!"

The reprimanded sailors stopped firing, though some soldiers' eyes gleamed with disdain.

Suddenly, the sound of Moonwalk stepping on the air attracted everyone's attention.

The group of sailors looked up and saw a petite figure rapidly approaching them.

"Yo! Giant Marines!"

"They actually dared to attack our ship, they've got some nerve!"

His domineering figure appeared before everyone's eyes, and a thunderous explosion shook the heavens and the earth.

The overwhelming aura centered on the girl in the sky stunned the entire audience.

The weak navy was powerless to resist this terrifying aura, and its eyes rolled back as it crashed to the ground.

"Conqueror's Haki!!!"

Cold sweat trickled down Haguvar D. Sauro's forehead, and his face remained etched with shock.

But the situation didn't allow him to be distracted, because the girl in front of him was rapidly approaching him.

That small fist held a rebellious will, and even before contact, the endless impact created a shockwave that stung his face.

"...Lord Harald?"

In Saul's eyes, the petite girl's imposing presence was strangely familiar; the way she swung her fist seemed to be... Elbaf's greatsword!! ? ?
