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

Upon hearing Sakura's shouts, Saul, who was fighting Vice Admiral Tsuru, loosened his defenses and covered his mouth and nose with both hands, taking several more of Vice Admiral Tsuru's attacks in the process.

But the surrounding swirling eddies rushed into the sky, arced through the rain curtain, and then crashed down heavily.

"The same trick won't work on me a second time!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru, who had been keeping a close eye on Sakura with his Observation Haki, lowered his body and used his Moonwalk to run at high speed, riding the surging ocean current.

It soon escaped the battlefield and nimbly landed on a nearby warship.

"Ugh... glug glug!"

Sauro was swept by the falling current to Sakura Haruno's side, and struggled to stick his head out of the water, panting heavily.

Saul, struggling to sit up with his clothes torn and blood trickling from his forehead, said, "What are you doing, Sakura? I finally managed to hold Tsuru back! If she creates distance now, she'll be even harder to deal with!"

"Oh, is that so? I didn't know that!"

Sakura, stunned, turned around abruptly and stared blankly at Saul.

"They were just too young!"

On the warship, Tsuru reached out and pressed her hand to the ground, spreading the power of the Wash-Wash Fruit to wash away the negative effects on the soldiers who had been affected by Sakura's Conqueror's Haki.

"A bunch of lazy bums, how long are they going to make this old man fight alone?"

"Fire! Ready!"

Under Vice Admiral Tsuru's orders, the sixteen state-of-the-art naval guns mounted on the vice admiral's personal sixty-meter-class warship were deployed to target Sakura and Sauro on the distant ice floes.

"A vice admiral-class warship, with its full firepower, can destroy a town in an instant."

"I'll cover your retreat, Sakura, you run! Use your ability!"

Saul stood up straight and used his broad body to shield Sakura Haruno behind him.

Even if Sakura Haruno is a pirate, there is no reason for such a young child to die on this cruel sea.

So Saul, following the justice in his heart, proudly straightened his chest, intending to fight for his beliefs to the very last moment.

"Shut up, you idiot!"

The intense heat surrounding Sakura gradually subsided, and her right hand transformed into ice to reinforce the ground beneath her feet.

The system's traverse button is right in front of you; you can leave this ocean and escape back to the safe ninja world whenever you want.

But, is this really good?

The grand ambitions made before Captain Roger and his crew, the yearning that arose in their hearts when facing the vast ocean and the story...

If we take even one step back, everything will vanish into nothingness!

Therefore, I cannot escape, and I will never escape, even if I die on this road to pursuing my dreams!

"I brought you here, so I absolutely... absolutely will not let you die!"

Sakura swung her left hand horizontally, and a thick layer of frost spread from her hand, instantly condensing into a giant ice sword.

He held the sword behind him with both hands, and dark lightning instantly surged.

"This is the Elbaf Spear? But you failed before, didn't you?"

Saul paused slightly, then raised his hand to try and dissuade him.

However, Sakura had no time to pay attention to Saul at this moment; she was closing her eyes and recalling every detail she had seen in the mural.

In the midst of such a perilous situation, she found a greater sense of peace.

Tick ​​tock!

Raindrops fell on the lake of her heart, creating ripples. Sakura Haruno saw the towering giant wielding that world-shaking spear towards the sea.

Willpower...dominance...paving the way forward!!!

"That's it, I understand."

Sakura's beautiful emerald eyes sparkled, and her indifferent voice held no hint of fervor or passion.

But somehow... it stirred my emotions.

What rises from the depths of my heart is an unparalleled anticipation for the future that is about to be created.

The moment she understood that will, a smile involuntarily appeared on Sakura's face.

So delightful.

The only thing they could do was respond to this feeling with the sword in their hands.

In the distance, Vice Admiral Tsuru's eyes flashed with iridescent light on the warship, his Observation Haki, honed through years of life-and-death battles, flashing a frenzied warning.

"Oh no! Get out of the way!"

Lieutenant General Tsuru wanted to give the order, but it was too late.

A monstrous bolt of lightning raged through the void, and the girl's clear voice echoed throughout the entire sea.

"Open up a future for me—Spear of Elbaf, Mighty Nation!!!"

In an instant, an endless surge of energy erupted from Sakura Haruno's greatsword of ice, merging with the swirling storm and rain. The ferocious, violent rainbow light, like a colossal pillar supporting the heavens, connected the earth and the sky.

Sakura Haruno so arrogantly declared her will to the entire sea, without any concealment.

Just as everyone was still feeling the unrestrained Conqueror's Haki of the young overlord, a world-shaking thunderous roar erupted from the blade of the giant sword.

Rain, waves, and even the sea—all obstacles that stood in Sakura Haruno's way were crushed by her own hands.

Suddenly, it fell apart!

The shockwave swept everything away like a mighty torrent, countless waves crashing against the two ships as if they were one.

boom! ! !

Chapter 37 The Girl on Ohara

If viewed from the sky, the vast sea appears as if a section has been forcibly shaved off by something.

The tide crashes down along the sharp ravines, and after the collision, it surges into towering waves in all directions.

The two massive warships of the World Government and the Navy had already been crushed, pierced, and trampled into dust by that last attack.

Sakura Haruno, equally exhausted, swayed and crashed onto the ice.

"We won! We won, Sakura!"

Just as the enormous Sauro was about to raise his hands in celebration, he heard a cracking sound from the ice beneath his feet and fell into the sea.

[Achievement: Anarchist, 50 Achievement Points Acquired]

Current achievement points balance: 150 points.

“Sa....Uro”

Ignoring the system's prompts, Sakura was too exhausted. The Burning Will unleashed such a terrifying attack that she, already young, was unable to rise again.

So she could only watch helplessly as the crashing waves swallowed her and Saul together.

Exhaustion weighed on Sakura Haruno, her heavy eyelids obstructing her vision, and then her head lolled to the side as she fell into a coma.

Boom! ! !

The torrential rain in the sky intensified, and lightning bolts streaked across the dark clouds, piercing the sea with sharp friction against the air.

In a daze, Sakura could feel the cold rain constantly stealing away her body heat.

The waves washed over her few remaining possessions, and she drifted at sea for a long time.

Until the rain stopped and the long-awaited sunshine shone on her.

"Ah! Is there anyone?"

A crisp, clear voice entered Sakura Haruno's ears.

Amidst the sound of footsteps on the sand, she felt herself being pulled up and finally laid flat on the beach with a soft touch.

"Hey, are you still alive?"

"Well--!"

"What did you say?"

"food!"

Sakura suddenly pushed herself up with both hands and forced her eyes open.

The girl next to her was startled. Although she was somewhat surprised, she showed no fear and just tilted her head to look at her.

"This is all I have. If you want anything else..."

The girl in the tattered dress pulled out a small piece of bread from behind her back and was about to hand it over when...

A pink shadow flashed by, followed by a series of clicking sounds.

"So fast!"

The girl, whose skin was slightly dark, opened her mouth wide.

"Ah, I barely survived!"

Sakura Haruno swallowed the bread with a loud gurgling sound, but her stomach continued to rumble.

Sakura Haruno, having regained some strength, turned her head and looked at the girl who had handed her the food.

"Thanks...."

Upon seeing the face of the person in front of her, Sakura Haruno paused for a moment, her outstretched hand freezing in mid-air.

The girl in front of her had a quiet and gentle demeanor, a lovely appearance, and a pair of bright, piercing blue eyes.

This combination of appearances is exactly what Sakura Haruno knows—the infamous Devil Child, Nico Robin.

"What's wrong, is there something on my face?"

Little Robin held the book between his right and raised his left hand to wipe his face.

"It's nothing, thank you for saving me."

"My name is Sakura Haruno. What's yours?"

In that instant, seabirds in the sky cried out, and the waves washed over the beach, bringing a refreshing coolness.

The sea breeze ruffled the girl's short pink hair, revealing her porcelain doll-like face and radiant smile.

Nicole Robin just stared at her blankly, feeling awkward and unsure how to react as the hand reached out to her.

"Oh! My name is..."

It took Robin a long time to react as if he had been electrocuted, and he reached out to touch Sakura.

Unfortunately, she was interrupted by a commotion before she could finish her answer.

"Ah, I've found him, Robin's there!"

"You filthy monster, teach her a lesson!"

A red tomato was thrown out, spinning in the air as it hurtled towards Nicole Robin.

Snapped!

Sakura pushed Nico Robin aside, grabbed the tomato that was thrown at her, and took a big bite.

At the same time, the retracted fingers formed a Ren character seal.

With the chakra mobilized, the Illusionary Naraku Appearance Technique was activated.

A gigantic monster covered in scales crawled out of the beach, casting a menacing shadow over the group of little devils in front of it.

Hot, sticky breaths poured from the monster's nostrils as it opened its massive jaws and roared silently at them!

Roar--!

Instantly, the little devils turned pale and fled in terror.

"Ah, the monster's companion has appeared!"

"Strange...monster!"

"Waaaaah! Run! Run!"
