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

In an instant, an overwhelming force tore a wound in the already turbulent sea, making the waves even more ferocious.

"No, what you're doing is pure brute force."

"The correct way to do it is to shoot it out with a crackling sound, a whoosh, and a boom!"

On the dilapidated merchant ship, Saulo, happily munching on a Sakura brand grilled fish, offered the girl guidance in a manner befitting a mentor and friend.

"Hey! Saul, you bastard!"

Sakura frantically ruffled her hair, a broken, solid ice greatsword lying beside her.

I had hoped this guy would teach me some giant techniques, but his teaching methods... were truly indescribable.

Is the Elbaf Spear some kind of magical tool? Crack, whoosh, boom...?

Are you sure this move is used like that?

The girl raised her eyebrows and looked at Sauro with suspicion.

"Could it be that Sakura isn't smart enough to understand this move?"

"De le hee, de le hee hee hee!"

Saul poked Sakura with his finger and let out a strange laugh.

"..."

Sakura, who had been splashed with fish oil, felt as if a string in her head had snapped.

This bastard!

The girl's raised hands emitted a crimson glow, and the surrounding environment became scorching hot.

"Hey, wait a minute, what are you trying to do?"

Sauro had witnessed firsthand how those hands roasted a live fish, so he naturally held it in the highest esteem.

Fortunately, at that moment, the scholar on the lookout tower saved Sauro's life by shouting.

"Ship sighted to the left front!"

"Pirates?"

Nicole Olvia also took out her binoculars and looked into the distance.

Sakura's Observation Haki activated, piercing through the heavy rain to spot two large ships sailing side by side on the distant sea.

A very common combination: one ship flies the World Government's cross flag, and the other flies the Navy's seagull flag.

At the very bow of the naval vessel stood a sprightly old lady.

She was talking to a man in a black suit on the government ship when she suddenly seemed to discover something.

He turned to look at himself and gave himself a smile.

“Government and naval ships, to rescue you or to kill us, or both.”

Sakura, having withdrawn her Observation Haki, glanced at Saul beside her.

This tall, giant marine had drooping eyebrows and his teeth were tightly clenched around his lips.

"Sakura-chan, what should we do?"

As the warship drew ever closer, the scholars all focused their attention on the petite figure at the bow.

"The government's ships are clearly coming for us, and this dilapidated sailboat can't outrun a warship, so..."

Sakura Haruno stepped onto the port side of the ship and shouted at the helmsman.

"Get closer! Break through their lines!!!"

.....

"Oh dear, instead of running away, you're charging towards us?"

"Looks like a disobedient, naughty child, but he's still young, perhaps..."

The 2.03-meter-tall senior officer of the Navy Headquarters looked at the ship rushing towards him with interest.

Despite the fierce winds and torrential rain raging around him, they couldn't cause even the slightest disturbance to this legendary figure in the navy.

"This time, the opponent is the World Government!"

Sakura looked down at her slightly trembling hands, feeling a fire burning inside her, reaching all the way to her throat.

"Come on! Be my enemy, world!!!"

hum!

Her magnificent aura swept across the entire arena in an instant, and the dark lightning, along with the will of the overlord, was deeply engraved in the souls of everyone who looked directly at her.

Many marines and government agents collapsed unconscious, their eyes rolling back in their heads. Even the officers who managed to stay upright were trembling and their bodies were weak.

"Monster...Monster!"

The naval personnel and officials on the World Government ship exclaimed in surprise.

"Good children shouldn't do things like that; they'll get a spanking!"

The agile Vice Admiral Tsuru had already used Moonwalk to fly from the distant warship toward the merchant ship.

Behind her, a CP agent from the government ship also flew in.

Sakura Haruno raised the greatsword of ice on her right hand, pinched half of a Ren character seal in her left hand, and rushed into the air.

"Accept!"

when--!

A deafening clang erupted from where the black fist and the icy greatsword collided.

Sakura Haruno immediately sensed a strange power seeping from the other person's arm into her sword blade.

Even though its power wasn't as ferocious as Sakura Haruno's, the greatsword still dented little by little under Vice Admiral Tsuru's fist.

"Damn it, is it a Devil Fruit ability?"

Sakura Haruno frowned, repeatedly using her ability to cover the softened blade.

"Ms. He, let me help you!"

The CP agent beside her then arrived, his thick Armament Haki condensing on his fingers, and he used the Six Styles Finger Pistol to stab at Sakura, who was in a stalemate.

At this critical moment, a roar accompanied by a huge fist slammed into the CP agent.

Pfft!

The CP agent, struck by a fist, coughed up blood and his body slammed into the sea like a cannonball.

"why?"

Although he had already foreseen it with his Observation Haki, Vice Admiral Tsuru was still surprised to actually see Saul's attack.

She was then forced back by Sakura Haruno's flying slash as she retreated, landing back on the warship not far away.

“Sauro, you’re not that kind of child. If you’re being coerced by that bad kid, blink.”

Saul's behavior clearly deviated from naval norms, but Vice Admiral Tsuru did not want to make an enemy of his colleague and tried to persuade him with words.

"I'm sorry, Ms. He, I can't do it. I have no way to help the government kill these scholars!"

The shadows obscured the face of the giant admiral, but large tears could be seen falling onto the ship.

"They just want to understand history. If they insist on labeling them as evil, at least provide evidence!"

"Sauro, you are a kind-hearted boy."

Lieutenant General Tsuru sighed, raised his hand to remove his gloves, and large amounts of foam scattered in the air as his palm touched the ground.

"But this is, after all, an order from the government. Let me cleanse your souls before I take you back!"

The legendary Navy Chief of Staff, Vice Admiral Tsuru, unleashes his full firepower.

"bring it on!"

Sakura Haruno released her Ice Greatsword and assumed a fighting stance.

The intense heat surged and erupted like a raging torrent!

Flame particles flowed like soft mud, covering Sakura's body. Her black robes were stained crimson by her power, as if she were wearing a scarlet coat.

The dazzling crimson ribbons fluttering around her made her look like a piece of charcoal burning with a rose-colored flame.

Heat Fruit - High Temperature Mode - Blazing Martial Body!

At the same time, by using chakra that changes the nature of water to create water droplets that evaporate at high temperatures, Sakura successfully wove a steam armor on the outer layer of her body.

In this way, when facing Vice Admiral Tsuru's almost rule-based Wash-Wash Fruit ability, one can avoid having one's fighting spirit washed away and thus losing the will to resist.

"That's dangerous! Be a good boy!"

With a step into the moon, Vice Admiral Tsuru unleashed a fist imbued with Armament Haki.

"I don't want it!"

Sakura, not to be outdone, retaliated with a punch.

With their full-force punches, the two tore through the air and collided at a terrifying speed that was beyond the reach of the naked eye.

A violent shockwave suddenly spread, and a deafening roar shook the sea.

boom--! ! !

Chapter 35 Hehe, didn't expect that, did you?

Amidst the howling and roaring, the intense heat distorted the surrounding scenery.

With a nimble kick from Vice Admiral Tsuru, a sharp blade of storm kick, infused with Armament Haki, slashed towards Sakura Haruno, sending her flying.

Immediately afterwards, the turbulent sea suddenly caved in, bursting open a horrific crack, and the agent in the black suit tore through the seawater and was ejected.

Like a black meteor streaking through the storm, piercing the rain curtain.

"You lowly commoner, how dare you!!!"

Driven by extreme rage, the CP6 leader unleashed all his power, transforming even the seawater into solid ground under his Moonwalk technique, allowing him to roam freely.

With his full sprint, his domineering fists roared, crossing the sea at a speed unseen by the naked eye.

——Six Styles: Finger Pistol: Yellow Lotus!

"Sauro!"

Sakura, using Moonwalk to steady herself, shouted.

A pair of enormous iron fists, displaying a ferocious expression, slammed down on the CP6 agent in front of him.

The giant's powerful body, combined with his will, unleashed a domineering aura that resembled steel stars falling from the sky.

A fierce, overwhelming wind raged, and a deep, eerie light illuminated the eyes of the CP6 agents.

This left him stunned.

"Giant, you son of a bitch...."

On that face, contorted by the howling wind, the lips parted slightly, uttering elegant words.

Immediately, the surging force tore through the hail of bullets woven by Finger Pistol Yellow Lotus and slammed into the face of the CP6 agent.

Bang!

A deafening explosion ripped through the air, and amidst the layers of shockwaves, a figure was sent flying backward, only to... embed itself once more into the seabed!

"Sauro, you naughty boy, have you really been bewitched by pirates?!"

A hand suddenly appeared in front of Saul.

It turned out to be Lieutenant General Tsuru, who had already gotten close to Saul while he was attacking CP6.

"not good!"

Sakura Haruno suddenly turned around and flew back, like a shooting star.

Suddenly, multiple cannon shots rang out not far away.

Countless steel torrents transformed into a line of fire, intertwining to block Sakura Haruno's path forward.
