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

But how could that be? Even if she were royalty, her size wouldn't be right!

Caught off guard, Saul didn't even have time to use Armament Haki before Haruno Sakura punched him in the head, shattering his fist.

boom--!

The power of the giant royal family roared, and the aftershocks of the impact were forcefully poured into the giant's body in the form of tremors, bringing him intense pain.

Facing Sakura's fist without using Armament Haki is something that even the top members of Roger's crew wouldn't dare to try easily in the past, but Saul has accomplished it with ease.

It was only because the giants were thick-skinned, tough, and resilient that Sauro survived this ferocious attack.

However, the price was far heavier than he had imagined.

"This...power..."

A feeling of dizziness enveloped Sauro's mind, and his vision began to spin and blur.

The giant's massive body lost consciousness and crashed heavily onto the ship.

"Hahaha, I won!"

Sakura landed nimbly on the navy ship and laughed triumphantly, but none of the navy personnel were able to stand up and fight her again.

"Is there not a single guy with any backbone?"

Sakura looked around and a look of disappointment appeared on her face.

However, her eyes lit up when her gaze fell on the unconscious Sauro.

Sakura stepped forward, unleashed her immense strength, lifted Saul onto her shoulder, and then hurled him forcefully toward the merchant ship in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, Sakura used Moonwalk to fly back to her ship.

"Ugh!"

The scholars on the ship had become accustomed to this willful and unruly girl.

However, a sailor on the naval ship, barely conscious, managed to dial a distress call.

"Report...report! The Vice Admiral has been captured by pirates!!!"

Chapter 33 Giant, I need your help in my cultivation!

West Sea, Navy Branch 201.

"What did you say???"

Admiral Sengoku, a naval officer stationed here on a secret mission, suddenly stood up and knocked over the hot tea on the table.

The Den Den Mushi on the table displayed a weak face and repeated what it had just said.

"These are just remnants of the sea!" Sengoku, his arm veins bulging, slammed his fist on the table. "Who were these people who kidnapped Sauro? Weren't you on a mission to capture the scholar?!"

"Reporting to the General, we were attacked by a pink-haired girl after we bombarded the scholars' ships."

"Moreover, she is very fast, knocking Lieutenant General Saul unconscious with a single blow, and her strength seems to be exceptionally great!"

The Den Den Mushi faithfully conveyed the soldier's expression and words to Sengoku, causing him to fall into deep thought.

Pink hair...super strength...Garp...Roger!

"Oh right, it's that brat from Roger's ship!"

Sengoku opened a drawer and searched for bounties related to Roger.

Unfortunately, even after turning the entire office upside down, they were unable to find her arrest warrant.

Panting heavily, Sengoku suddenly remembered that it seemed the kids on Roger's ship were too young to issue an arrest warrant for him.

"damn it!"

With a punch that shattered the desk, Sengoku, filled with rage, hurried toward the branch office.

"Get me to headquarters! I want to issue a warrant for that brat's arrest!!!"

...

"Hmph~"

In the darkness, Sauro felt a chill and sneezed.

"Kuzan, don't use your powers recklessly!"

After complaining about his colleague, Saullo tried to turn over, but felt a sense of being restrained.

Wait, something's not right! I think I was defeated by some little girl?

"Uh!"

The giant twisted his massive body, trying to sit up, but found himself firmly frozen to the deck.

"Ah, he's awake! Quick, go find Sakura!"

A scholar responsible for guarding Sauro saw his movements and hurriedly ran into the cabin.

Soon, a girl with pink hair appeared in front of Sauro.

[Announcement: Achievement achieved - Kidnapping a Navy Marine, I'm Wanted! Achievement Points: 100]

"You...you're a giant!"

Sauro tilted his head to the side and exhaled a large breath of white air.

"It shouldn't be. Giants are different in size from me, right?"

Sakura was overjoyed to hear that she had earned achievement points. She jumped onto Saul's stomach in a few steps and found a comfortable spot to sit down.

"And you, are you acting to awaken the weapons?"

Saul got the answer, and seemed to be convinced by Sakura's words, turning to look at Nicole Olvia beside him.

"How could that be possible!"

Having her life's work tarnished and labeled a villain by the World Government for instigating war, Nicole Olvia, unable to bear it any longer, issued a protest to the world.

"History is the property of mankind, and sooner or later our children will need to rely on the guidance of this beacon to move forward!"

"If we allow it to be distorted and altered, our descendants will repeat the mistakes of the past over and over again until they are completely destroyed!"

"If you don't even have this much awareness before you come to sanction us, then you're nothing but a pathetic wretch who fears history!"

"No Road Race!"

The giant's voice, even larger and deeper than the scholars', stirred up a storm of air, the deafening roar reverberating endlessly.

"Do you think I don't know that I'm slaughtering unarmed scholars?!"

Heavy breathing echoed on the silent deck, the massive figure tormented by the righteous indignation deep within his heart.

Nicole Olvia lowered her head; there was no point in exchanging accusations with the navy man in front of her.

Because she understood that the one who was truly at fault was the World Government, the one that had forced them all together to hurt each other!

A silence was spreading; neither side could back down for their own beliefs, yet both knew in their hearts that the other's demands were also legitimate.

"Then let's take this opportunity to rest. After all, you're already my prisoner!"

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, a clear voice rang out.

Sauro felt a pat on his stomach.

He tilted his head back and saw the girl sitting on his stomach looking at him with a smile.

"Hey, Titan, do you know any of Elbaf's techniques?!"

Faced with Sakura's expectant expression, the giant marine looked away somewhat guiltily.

"This old man...this old man..."

Saul was caught off guard and didn't know how to answer.

After all, he grew up in the South China Sea and never liked fighting, so he couldn't get along with those barbarians in Elbaf.

After reaching adulthood, he chose to sail alone, and eventually joined the Navy under the inspiration of Sister Carmel. With his giant-like talents, he rose to the rank of Vice Admiral.

If we're talking about some impressive giant combat techniques... would the "turtle punch" count?

"Wait, where did you learn your giant combat skills from?!"

He suddenly remembered the fist that the other party had thrown at him earlier, although it did not carry the fierce will unique to giants.

But that stance... it's definitely the unique starting position of the Elbaf's greatsword!

"Sigh, I learned it from some ruins, but I can't achieve the same results as those predecessors."

Sakura shrugged helplessly.

Even with an exceptional memory, one could record every movement of the will left behind in the mural.

However, she could not fully comprehend the internal mechanisms of exertion, the flow of will, or the emotions and thoughts within the body.

"The Elbaf Spear is an extremely advanced technique, and even among the Titans, only a very few people can master it."

"As for me... I wouldn't know either!"

Saul looked dejected and turned his head away, appearing quite dejected.

"Ugh, I'm so useless!"

"I want you to take care of it!"

“Alright then!” Sakura stood up from Saul’s stomach, jumped onto his neck, and stepped on his chin with one foot: “Giant, I need your help with my training!”

"Huh???" Sauro's massive body turned completely white.

Meanwhile, on the Grand Line, Marineford, the Marine Headquarters

A woman with slightly graying hair hung up the Den Den Mushi and picked up the Justice Cloak from the coat rack behind her.

With the rustling sound of my sleeves, I walked out of the office.

A man carrying a platter of donuts walked towards us, and his eyes lit up when he saw the woman.

"Little Crane, I stole some good tea from Marshal Kong's office. Would you like to drink some together?"

Looking at his eccentric old friend, Vice Admiral Tsuru, the Chief of Staff of the Navy Headquarters, sighed.

"Garp, Sengoku has sent a request for support from the West Blue. Do you want to come with me?"

"The West Sea? No way, I need to take my vacation!"

Karp raised his little finger, inserted it into his nostril, and twirled it around.

"The government's covert operation has been thwarted, and they want us to send more troops to work with the CP."

"It is said that a child on Roger's ship captured a giant admiral in the Western Sea."

He crossed his arms over his chest, looking at his old comrade with a mocking expression.

Sure enough, when Garp heard the name Roger, his goofy demeanor vanished instantly.

A sharp look flashed in those eyes that were beginning to show signs of age, but it quickly disappeared.

"That government garbage."

Garp cursed and flicked his nose.

"Forget it, that bastard Roger's dead. It's pointless to help the government cause trouble for a kid."

Waving, Garp walked past the crane, looking completely unconcerned.

However, just as his figure was about to disappear at the end of the corridor, a barely audible question was caught by Tsuru's Observation Haki.

"What's that child's name?"

"Haruno Sakura!"

Chapter 34 The World Government's Pursuit

"Elbaf's Spear·Powerful Country!!!"

boom!

On the sea surface drenched by torrential rain, intense light erupted, bursting forth with tremendous force and spreading outwards with a thunderous roar.
