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

Chapter 60: End of Volume (I)

With this, the story of the childhood episodes comes to an end.

The story of this volume has finally come to an end, and I'm a little excited.

The outline was revised again and again during this period because the Naruto timeline is completely blank between Konoha 58 and 63.

At least from Naruto's perspective, there are no details to fill in between the Uchiha clan massacre and the start of the story.

The entire ninja world was at peace, and even Pain had time to develop the Akatsuki organization and expand Amegakure.

This made me completely dizzy, and I started making up the whole story out of thin air.

If I write about small countries without any reference points, I'm afraid people won't accept what I write.

Ultimately, the Land of Rain was chosen as the transitional setting, which may have resulted in some minor flaws. I apologize for that.

In short, it's time for heaven to create!

World, speed me up!

The Naruto storyline is about to enter the main plot here (it's already chapter 60), so Sakura can happily fight and kill again, while also enjoying a wonderful ninja family time with the two future big fathers of the ninja world.

I'd also like to share some beautiful scenery from the One Piece and Naruto worlds that you all like and that you could use for a banquet.

Finally, thank you to all the readers who have supported me here. It is your activity that motivates me to update every day.

I sincerely hope that everyone can find happiness in this book.

thank you all.

And love you all~

Chapter 61. Time is about to accelerate.

In the year 1507 of the Ocean Calendar, at the entrance to the Grand Line - Twin Capes

The girl stood up from the bathtub, draped a towel over herself, and water droplets dripped from her cherry-pink hair onto the ground.

After drying her hair with a towel and putting on the yukata that Uncle Crocus had brought back by the merchant ship, Sakura Haruno pushed open the door of the lighthouse.

White waves crashed against the rocks of the red earth continent, and the salty smell of the seawater mingled with the sea breeze, entering the girl's nostrils.

Before her, a campfire roared, on which fresh giant squid was roasted, its fat falling into the fire and sparking, but the two men sitting by the fire paid no attention to it.

Upon seeing the girl, the man wearing a straw hat and a patterned cloak raised his wine glass.

"Oh, Sakura, would you like a drink?"

"Uncle Jabba, wasn't that enough of a drink I gave you the day before yesterday?"

Sakura smoothed down the stray hairs on the back of her head, walked towards the two of them, and sat down on the third beach chair that had been reserved for her.

The man tending the fire for the giant squid cut off a large piece of meat with a knife, placed it on a plate, and handed it over.

"Thank you, Uncle Crocus!"

Sakura sweetly thanked them and happily raised her fork towards the fragrant roasted meat on the plate.

"By the way, in your paper 'A Brief Discussion on the Interference of Benzodiazepines with the Wavelengths of Animal-Based Devil Fruits,' how were the data from several animal experiments obtained?"

Crocus pushed up his glasses, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

For someone as accomplished in both pharmacy and surgery as him, data fabrication was intolerable.

"Ugh... cough cough!"

Sakura, who was inhaling the grilled meat rapidly, froze, coughing up the meat she had just put in her mouth.

Actually, that thing was an experiment that Sakura secretly conducted with the Slug Master...

However, unexpectedly, due to the special nature of the other party, he did not gain any power after eating the Devil Fruit.

Before the fruit's wavelength disappeared, Sakura detected some residual benzodiazepines, which are sedatives, and have an interfering effect on the Devil Fruit.

Finally, these data were compiled into a book, which resulted in this paper.

However, she didn't know how to tell Crocus about this.

You can't just casually say, "Uncle, I took your Devil Fruit worth 100 million Berries to feed the bugs!"

—They'll probably break your legs!

"Hahaha, that's why you wanted to study medicine!"

Seeing Sakura like this, Jabba burst into laughter, as if to sweep away all the frustration he felt from being drunk by Sakura a few days ago.

However, thanks to his intervention, Sakura escaped a terrible ordeal.

"..."

Crocus didn't speak, but just looked at Jabba with a kind expression.

Jabba's smile froze for a moment, then he immediately raised his hands. "Studying medicine is great! Studying medicine is wonderful!"

After spouting a bunch of insincere vows, Jabba picked up his drink and chugged it down the bottle with gusto.

Oh no, this situation...

Sakura's eye twitched for a moment. This guy would definitely spout nonsense again after showing off, so she had to change the subject before he opened his mouth!

"Speaking of which, how is Uncle Jabba's son doing?"

"You've already learned to walk! Your hair is the same color as yours, and you're very cute!"

Jabba's eyes were glazed over as he held up the bottle of liquor, but his face was full of pride.

"I will definitely train him to be the best Elbaf warrior in the future!"

"Anyway, you won't see it before you die."

Crocus ruthlessly destroyed Jabba's lofty ambitions.

"Mind your own business, you idiot doctor!"

Their eyes met, sparks flew, but in the end, considering that Sakura was present, they both snorted and turned their heads away.

Jabba snatched a piece of grilled squid from Crocus's plate, chewed on the squid meat, and mumbled a question to Sakura.

"But Sakura, are you really not going to accept Shanks' invitation? That guy has complained to me about it several times already."

Sakura scoffed, "No way! That idiot can't beat me anyway, why should I be his first mate? Let him be my first mate!"

"Hmph, after a few years when that kid's domineering aura improves, it's another story whether someone can beat him."

Jaba grinned slyly, opened a new bottle of wine, and poured it into his mouth.

“Sakura’s situation is indeed not suitable for joining any faction. The World Government hates her to the core and has tried to trip her up in many ways.”

Crocus spoke up in support of his student, taking an arrest warrant from his pocket and handing it to Jabba.

Through the firelight, the mimeographed photo of Sakura on the wanted poster was clearly visible.

Witch Haruno Sakura

Bounty: 220 million Berries.

Charges: Possessing knowledge of ancient writing systems, attempting to revive ancient weapons, and overthrowing the world government.

—Only alive.

“Ohara,” Jabba sighed, his expression complex. “The World Government scum is truly…”

"That kind of thing doesn't matter. The scholars are all alive, and the books are intact."

And you must remind the people of Elbaf—the World Government is watching them closely—that they mustn't spread that knowledge openly! And don't let this cause them to neglect their military capabilities!

Fearing that those dim-witted giants would once again squander their martial prowess because of their knowledge, Sakura had to repeatedly give Jabba a hard time.

"It's no use. Harald is wholeheartedly aligned with the World Government, and recently he even took the initiative to sever the warrior tradition in Elbaf."

"I can only influence a few warriors myself, and even Lipri has argued with me about this several times."

Jabba wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth and rolled his eyes dismissively.

"Forget about that, it's a rare opportunity to get together with old friends, let's drink, let's drink!"

Amidst the clinking of glasses, the fine wine from Kurocas was drunk in one gulp.

Jaba got drunk and insisted on drinking with Sakura. Then the two of them saw a sharp light flash in the girl's emerald eyes.

These were the last memories the two could recall before they lost consciousness.

The next day.

Hangover Jabba staggered onto his little sailboat.

"Are you really not coming to Elbaf with me? I always have a feeling you have some connection with them?"

"Forget it, this is my future adventure, wouldn't it be no fun if I went with you?"

Sakura waved her hand, making a shooing gesture, and casually tossed the food she had packed for him onto the boat.

"Alright, then I'll be waiting for you in Elbaf!"

Jabba pulled hard on the ropes, lowered the sails, and sailed against the winds of the Grand Line.

Sakura watched his figure disappear at the edge of the coastline, then turned back to pack her luggage.

Crocus was still resting due to a hangover, and Sakura tidied up the lighthouse inside and out one last time.

After leaving a letter, he sealed some special drugs he had developed during his years of studying surgery and pharmacy into a storage scroll.

Sakura pushed open the door and walked out of the tower.

Off the coast, a huge whale surfaced, spouting water from its blowhole as if greeting Sakura.

Good morning, Labu.

"Ugh——!"

The whales sang their high-pitched cries, and the sea rippled with waves.

After receiving a reply from the whale, Sakura stepped forward and patted the scar on its forehead.

"Rabu, I'm going home now. Please take good care of the teacher for the next while."

"Woo?"

The whale was puzzled by Sakura's words. In its eyes, shouldn't Sakura's home be this lighthouse?

"No, my home is not here."

"Just like you're waiting for the Rumbar Pirates, the place that's waiting for me is my home."

Sakura shook her head and gently instructed the whale, which possessed human emotions.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The whale Laboon's urgent voice rang out.

"Hahaha, that's right, you're a member of the Rumbar Pirates."

"Don't worry, this sea is vast, and one day we will meet again at the end of the road."

Sakura stood up and said a final goodbye to Laboon.

'system! ’

[Points required for travel are being deducted; the feature is now activated!]

A barely perceptible glimmer of light flashed and disappeared, and the girl's figure vanished.

Only the sounds of surging waves and howling sea wind remained.

On the rooftop of the lighthouse, a figure holding a letter witnessed the girl's departure.

Hot tears streamed down his face, wetting the letter in his hand.

"You brat..."
