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

A sudden, deathly silence descended, rising from the sea that reflected the firelight, as two irreconcilable forces abruptly erupted!

"Frozen Pheasant Beak"

"Dogs Gnawing on Red Lotus"

The hound opened its massive jaws, billowing with thick smoke, while the icebird raised its wings, which rubbed together with ice crystals.

The shouts of the two vice admirals from the Navy Headquarters unleashed a powerful attack capable of easily obliterating a massive city.

Towards Sakura Haruno!

Unfortunately, Sakura Haruno was prepared for this.

A thin membrane of chakra covered his arm as he reached out and grabbed the two elements rushing in from both sides!

"Cloud Hands!"

The Heat-Heat Fruit's ability to control heat and cold captures the two energies in an alternating manner, and finally, under Sakura's immense strength, they spiral and collide, canceling each other out.

With the help of the large amount of water mist generated by the collision of ice and lava, Sakura Haruno's figure once again disappeared from their sight.

"Kuzan, you annoying bastard!"

"Oh dear, wasn't it you, senior, who stopped my attack?"

Kuzan, standing on the frozen sea, and Sakazuki, aboard the warship, exchanged a glance, both feeling mutual loathing.

The two used their Observation Haki to spread across the sea, searching for the girl who had just disappeared.

However, the surrounding void was filled with a large amount of dark lightning of overwhelming color, making it very difficult for them to concentrate on searching for Sakura Haruno's whereabouts.

"Freeze the ocean, Kuzan!"

At this moment, Sakazuki, having seen through Sakura Haruno's purpose in stalling for time, shouted at Kuzan in the distance!

"You don't need to tell me! The Ice Age!"

Kuzan leaped into the air, his hands clasped together, and chilling air emanated from between his arms as icicles.

The chilling frost was exposed and merged into the rolling sea, as if an invisible maw was opening to devour all the heat. Even the debris on the waves swayed in fear and was tinged with a sense of loss.

"Oh no, they're catching up!"

Saul, who was piloting the warship, gaped, sweating profusely.

"Tch, troublesome navy!"

Sakura Haruno emerged from the shadows, licked her lips, and leaped high into the air.

Chakra adhered to the soles of his feet, drawing in the water, and his whole body swayed with the waves.

"Speaking of which, I've never tried the high-temperature mode before, so I don't know how high my temperature can get!"

Sakura took a deep breath and spoke with a sigh.

The temperature on my body kept rising, and the seawater beneath my feet began to boil.

"Not enough, not enough!!!"

Looking at the distant view where everything had turned into pure white frost, Sakura Haruno frantically increased her own temperature.

Heat release! Heat release! Heat release!

The raging temperature soared skyward, raging wildly, and the scalding seawater suddenly expanded and gushed forth, distorting the calm air.

Extreme temperature differences, combined with strong convection, have created a storm that sweeps in and gathers dark clouds at its center, forming the eye of the storm. Lightning flashes through the accumulated dark clouds in the sky.

Heat Fruit - Overload Mode - Blazing Martial Body!

"Boil the sea for me—raise it!"

Sakura Haruno, her body engulfed in blue flames, spread her five fingers, reached out to grasp the sea, and held on tightly!

In that instant, countless strands of high-temperature ocean currents danced and swirled endlessly like crimson flames!

Sakura Haruno laughed as she moved forward, her breath lingering in the air wherever she went.

With a single punch, the scorching ocean currents traversed a vast distance and collided with the icy sea created by Kuzan.

boom!

Just as the two were facing off, a figure shrouded in thick smoke suddenly appeared behind Sakura Haruno.

"Gotcha, pirate!"

"Go to hell and repent, you hound of the underworld, carrying the regret of defying justice!!!"

The lava flows like silt and burns violently, simulating the impact of a volcanic eruption as you launch your fist.

Caught off guard, Sakura Haruno's body was enveloped in suffocatingly thick lava.

"Sakura!"

Saulo, aboard a distant warship, looked deathly pale, while Kuzan, near the coast, wore sunglasses that revealed a forlorn expression.

But just then, a pair of blood-red, vertical pupils opened from the lava and thick smoke. Lightning crashed down from the sky, and a storm raged as it descended upon the island, as if the heavens were celebrating something incredible, shaking incessantly.

A hand gripped the massive, icy sword, and a terrifying aura exploded once more.

Amidst the dazzling sword light, Sakazuki was terrified, as if he had fallen into an ice cave!

"What are you... barking about?!"

Chapter 42 Are you kidding me? I can fly...

The storm is coming.

Ocean currents, carried by the vast blue sea and swept across Ohara under the influence of powerful winds, brought forth a powerful current.

A torrent of rain poured down, mingling with Sakazuki's cold sweat as it dripped onto the sea.

Oh no, why aren't the old tricks working anymore?

The technique "Ghost Dog," developed from the Magma-Magma Fruit, is originally best known for its impact, high temperature, and extreme speed, and is famous for its ability to quickly kill pirates.

According to his prediction, Sakura Haruno, who is not a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, should not be able to withstand the impact of the volcanic eruption!

But why am I the one being slashed away by the blade? Is this...right?

In a moment of astonishment, Sakazuki narrowed his eyes and saw the girl rising up amidst the ash and sulfurous smoke.

Those sharp, crimson eyes, like those of a giant snake, were filled with doubt. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, yet his smile remained unchanged. A large hole had been torn in the back of his black ninja bodysuit, revealing bruised skin.

"Ptooey!" Sakura wiped her mouth and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva. "What happened to me?"

A faint sense of connection hangs high in the sky, as if one could manipulate the world and turn all things into weapons if one so desired.

[Announcement! A celestial phenomenon is imminent (temporarily). Time remaining: 1 minute 57 seconds...56 seconds.]

"Although I'm a little confused about the situation, I've been buffed, right?"

Sakura Haruno's eyes lit up slightly, and she instinctively raised her finger and drew a line at the lightning in the sky.

A trail of blood remained where her fingers had traced, and in that instant, the ear-piercing friction of falling lightning resounded throughout Ohara.

The thunder, as fierce as a sudden storm, gradually swelled, becoming frenzied and incessantly raging!

boom!

Countless bolts of lightning struck, etching a shimmering tree-like pattern in the void.

Under the relentless bombardment of lightning, Kuzan and Sakazuki, who were sent flying backward, were unable to even maintain their normal forms.

Once ice and magma solidify, they will be scattered by lightning strikes, but if you don't use your abilities, they will be pierced by the rampant lightning.

For a moment, there was a dilemma.

Sakura effortlessly harnessed the power of the celestial phenomena, unleashing it to create various weather disasters.

Hurricanes, hail, torrential rain, blizzards, thunderstorms, tornadoes...

In an instant, Ohara, which was originally in the calm waters of the Four Seas, experienced the same weather as the Grand Line.

However, although meteorological disasters are highly destructive and have a wide impact.

However, when it faces renowned powerhouses on the Grand Line, it finds itself somewhat outmatched.

laugh!

Kuzan conjured an ice umbrella around himself, and Sakazuki seized the opportunity to solidify his form, projecting large swaths of lava to help Kuzan create an obsidian protective shell.

The hard stone shell rose from the ice, and then, with a dull thud, the two began to gradually adapt to Sakura's attack frequency, using their Observation Haki to continuously lock onto and counter various weather disasters, and approaching forward.

"Two monsters..."

Sakura Haruno, already somewhat exhausted, took a few breaths and glanced at the warship where Saul and the others were.

Although they were almost out of range of the naval guns, they still needed to buy them some more time, considering the existence of something that could freeze the sea.

"Dangerous abilities, you born evil pirate brat, let me deal with you myself..."

Sakazuki, who was rushing towards them, clenched his lava fist, but before he could finish speaking, Kuzan interrupted him.

"Lock her in Impel Down. The military's strategy towards ability users has always prioritized arrest and imprisonment!"

Upon hearing these words, Sakazuki snorted coldly, bloodshot light appearing in his pupils, and angrily threw a punch at Sakura on the sea.

The raging temperature evaporated the already boiling seawater, and in the billowing, scorching white mist, a terrifying giant scorching hound opened its ferocious jaws and lunged to bite!

—If I get killed in battle, it won't be considered a violation of headquarters' countermeasures!

"Ugh!"

Kuzan's Observation Haki swept over his colleague, who was determined to exterminate all the pirates, and he sighed helplessly.

With a flick of his wrist, an ice spear imbued with Armament Haki condensed in his hand, and he hurled it at Sakura, unleashing a dazzling and beautiful light!

Having learned from their previous experience of having their attacks neutralized by the girl, the Ice and Fire duo now employed a combination of wide-range attacks from one member and precise point-and-shoot attacks from the other.

The two combined to create an inescapable trap, leaving her with no room to retreat.

"Oh, how ruthless!"

Sakura raised her hand, preparing to unleash another hurricane to overturn the two's attack.

But then a line of golden text appeared before her eyes, and in an instant, the connection with the sky was severed.

[Announcement: The celestial phenomenon has temporarily ended.]

'System, you son of a bitch!'

[Notification: You can reactivate this feature by consuming achievement points. Do you wish to use it?]

"No, even if I die from exhaustion here today, or jump off this cliff, I won't buy you a single activation attempt!"

After greeting the system's many relatives, Sakura assumed a ready-to-swipe stance.

When in doubt, take the initiative to strengthen your nation!

"Whether it succeeds or not depends on this!"

Sakura Haruno closed her eyes, her domineering aura surging wildly, her thirst for freedom swirling around her soul, vibrating endlessly!

Its powerful surge is awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring.

As Kuzan and Sakazuki were gathering their offensive and rushing towards Sakura, a glint of light flashed in their eyes.

A large "danger" character rose above the head.

"The Spear of Elbaf, the Mighty Nation!!!"

As the girl swung her heavy sword down, a massive sword aura, carrying a scorching heat, tore through the sea.

The two warships along the way were pulverized by the spiraling shockwave, and Kuzan and Sakazuki were also silently extinguished under the terrifying crimson light that pierced the sky and shook the earth.

Crush!

Everything that stood in the way of this giant's spear was mercilessly crushed.

The fierce storm and torrents only gradually subsided after the roar echoed across the sea for the third time.

Sakura Haruno collapsed onto the ice, panting heavily with her tongue lolling out.

The mangled half of Sakazuki crashed down from the sky, gradually becoming whole again as the lava spread.

He struggled to his feet, walked up to Sakura Haruno, raised his fist covered in lava, and slammed it down indifferently.
