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

"You must be Sakura Haruno, the pirate who stole the Buster Call Den Den Mushi!"

Sakura turned her head and found that the Den Den Mushi on the ground was faithfully transmitting everything in front of her to the world's highest authority.

"Former member of the Roger Pirates, nine years old, suspected to be from Wano Country, what exactly do you want to do by getting involved in the Ohara incident?"

Compared to the scholars who are facing the Buster Call head-on, the five powerful figures in power are more worried at this moment.

At this tense juncture, the fact that a former crew member of the Pirate King has become involved in a case related to the deciphering of the Poneglyphs has made those in power extremely nervous.

—These lawless pirates are always a headache, no matter the era.

"What do you want to do?"

Sakura Haruno picked up the Den Den Mushi, her lips parting into a wide grin.

The pink-haired girl standing amidst the flames spread her arms wide, her domineering will surging, unleashing dark lightning that stirred up a storm and tore through the flames.

A youthful yet resolute voice, facing the other end of the Den Den Mushi, was the oath taken by the five highest authorities.

"Of course I want to stand at the top of this ocean and admire the most beautiful scenery in the world!"

"Furthermore, while I'm at the summit, I'd also be happy to spread the ideas of that kingdom across this vast ocean and cause you some trouble!"

Immediately, chaos erupted on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

A series of clattering sounds rang out, as if someone had stood up in shock.

The Den Den Mushi was also knocked to the ground, making a rustling noise.

When he picked it up again, it was filled with murderous intent!

"Shut up! Kid, you know too much..."

Kaga!

The Den Den Mushi hung up immediately and was kicked into the fire by the girl.

Just then, Mud Sauro, with its enormous body, smashed through the flames of the chariot and arrived in front of the Tree of Omniscience.

"Sakura! Where's Robin? Where is Robin?"

"Sauro, you've come at the perfect time!"

Sakura led him through the hole in the Tree of Omniscience and rushed into the library inside. Sure enough, the scholars had already fainted because of the Conqueror's Haki she had just unleashed.

"Please lead them to seize a warship and escape from here!"

Sakura patted the giant's leg, and frost spread beneath his feet, instantly freezing all the books the scholars had thrown into the lake.

Saul picked up the scholars one by one, and finally found Robin being held in Nicole Olvia's arms in the crowd.

"Great!"

The enormous man watched as the tiny life was saved, and tears of joy streamed down his face.

"Sakura, what about you!"

"I'll hold off the guests who are about to arrive!"

Frost gradually enveloped Sakura's body, and as her pink hair fluttered, she exhaled a puff of pure white icy mist.

Sauro looked up and used his Observation Haki to detect a powerful aura approaching.

In the entire navy, only those three rising star vice admirals, hailed as monsters, possess such imposing power!

"No, you're coming with us!"

"Someone has to hold them off, Saul. Trust me! I won't die!"

Sakura hoisted the greatsword of ice onto her shoulder, her emerald pupils breathtakingly beautiful under the glow of the flames.

Sauro, holding a large group of scholars, had a ferocious expression on his face. For the first time, he hated his own powerlessness so much.

"Sakura, you absolutely, positively have to survive! Derehehe, derehehehehe!"

The giant forced a smile through his tears, then ran toward the edge of the inferno.

"Oh dear, I can't pretend I didn't see this!"

A tall man, his body also covered in frost, emerged from the sea of ​​fire.

He crossed his arms, and clusters of ice spears condensed in the air, hurtling towards him from the rising chill.

"Icebound - Two-Spiked Spear!"

The ice spear whistled through the air, heading straight for Sauro in the distance.

Clang——!

Suddenly, a crimson light swirled and rose into the sky, instantly slicing through the flying spears, and bursting forth with icy mist!

"Hey, you're... Ryotomo Himuro! Oh, Sasashiri! You're doing pretty well, huh~"

Kuzan looked down and saw the girl in front of him grinning strangely.

Dead memories suddenly began to attack him, and the ribs that had been pierced by the girl's fist that day throbbed with a dull ache.

"You rude brat, I have a name called Kuzan!"

The young man in the black coat pressed his hand hard on the ground, a clanging sound echoing as endless frost spread across the ground.

Holy crap, ice?

The chill instantly spread to Sakura Haruno's feet, forming an arc, and a menacing ice pillar shot into the sky, freezing her firmly in the hard ice.

"Although I don't know what you did to anger those five old guys so much, I'll still send you to Impel Down!"

Even though he accepted the order to be eliminated, the young vice admiral, who was dedicated to learning from his idol Garp, naturally wouldn't take the Five Elders' instructions to heart.

laugh!laugh!laugh!

An unusual sound echoed, and a red glint swept across Kuzan's pupils.

"Nani?"

Click!

In a very short moment, the ice shattered.

The thing that escaped easily broke through the flames, while dark lightning flashed around her, stirring up a storm!

In front of her, a greatsword shrouded in steam suddenly extended and slashed toward Kuzan.

And so, they passed each other by.

puff!

Kuzan, his face contorted in embarrassment, had a gash on his chest, blood staining his tattered uniform.

"Opposite attributes? Looks like you've gotten a tricky fruit!"

Kuzan began to look Sakura Haruno in the eye.

At that time, Sakura Haruno lacked domineering presence and ability, but defeated him through her intelligence.

Although he was unwilling, he still didn't care much about the girl, thinking it was just playing with children.

But now, although Sakura Haruno doesn't have Haki, she has mastered a way to counter her own Logia-type personality.

We can't treat this girl like a joke anymore, otherwise... she really might die!

"Now, we really are enemies, pirates!"

Kuzan withdrew his powers, raised his fists, and assumed a fighting stance.

Black Armament Haki coiled around his fist, and the muscles he had honed under the guidance of the naval hero seemed to roar faintly, radiating fighting spirit.

"This is wonderful!"

The girl with cherry-pink hair raised her head and smiled sincerely.

Then, amidst laughter and shouts, the two fists collided with a deafening roar.

A blast of air shot skyward, violently ravaging the surroundings.

Chapter 41 What are you barking at?

Bang!Bang!Bang!

At the end of the flames and thick smoke, above the scorching earth of Ohara, two figures soared through the air.

"Hahaha, it hurts, it hurts so much!" Sakura Haruno's clear laughter pierced through the fire.

Kuzana's domineering aura, which seemed capable of piercing bones, made Sakura Haruno look miserable; blood stained her black bodysuit, and many places were swollen and bruised.

But within the girl's petite body, the blood of Elbaf warriors flowed, and her will was tempered and honed in the clashes, roaring with thunder!

Instantly, a torrent of dark lightning surged forth, spreading wildly.

A shockwave erupted out of nowhere, and the scorching greatsword, billowing with steam and carrying the sharp sword intent of a swordsman, slashed toward Kuzan.

Without hesitation, Kuzan retaliated, raising his gleaming, icy spear and thrusting it forward!

when--!

Under the infusion of Sakura's ferocious power, Kuzan's spear suddenly disintegrated, turning into fragments that pierced towards him.

The remaining potential energy slammed into the ground, spreading spiderweb-like cracks and sending up large amounts of gravel and dust.

But none of it had any effect on the man in front of him who had used the Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit.

The originally hard ice blocks began to flow under his manipulation, forming vortices in various parts of his body.

The scorching fragments pierced through his body from the vortex without causing him any harm.

"It has transformed into a natural-type entity? That's truly remarkable!"

Sakura Haruno swung her sword horizontally with one hand, while simultaneously forming a Ren character seal with her right.

"I haven't fallen so low as to need a pirate to praise me...!"

Kuzan assumed a fighting stance, his fist, extended to its limit like a longbow, wrapped with a layer of ice.

The aura of Armament Haki surged forth from his body without reservation, permeating his arms and forming a layer of Armament Ice Armor.

"Ice Gloves!"

By transforming his hands into elements, imbuing them with Haki and combining them with the iron fist inherited from Garp, Kuzan unleashed a powerful punch.

boom!

In an instant, Sakura's greatsword was shattered, and she was sent flying through the air, heading towards the distant coastline.

On the ground, Kuzan's shaved figure flashed rapidly, turning the surrounding scenery into blurry blocks of color that quickly disappeared behind him.

despair!

On the shore, Kuzan appeared in a flash, stepping through the sand and using the recoil to rise into the air.

"Frozen Pheasant Beak!"

Armament Haki flowed menacingly, gathering together with the cold air in his right arm to condense into a lifelike ice pheasant.

The enormous icebird cried out loudly, concentrating its power on the tip of its beak, and charged forward fiercely!

Sakura Haruno in the sky used Moonwalk to adjust her direction, and the greatsword of ice condensed in her hand again as she roared and shouted at the ice bird!

Ice against ice, force against force!

From the moment of the clash, the resulting monstrous waves crushed the earth, constantly whipped the surrounding trees, and stirred up huge waves in the sea towards the distant warships.

Kuzan unleashed his full power, and Ice Bird and Haki shattered Sakura Haruno's greatsword inch by inch, finally piercing through her chest!

boom!

Sakura Haruno, struck by a fatal attack, exploded into a cloud of smoke, leaving Kuzan stunned for a moment, his pupils trembling.

Dead? No...it escaped!

A rough scan using Observation Haki spread across the tall man's body, finally spotting a pink figure standing on the distant sea.

"What on earth is that idiot Kuzan doing?!"

Sakura Haruno was seen wielding an ice greatsword, slashing through warships to clear a path for Saul.

A man whose face was hidden beneath a naval cap slammed his fist against the ship's gunwale, and the overflowing lava ignited the wooden deck.
