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

In a moment of panic, Doflamingo covered the back of his head with both hands.

"seabed...."

call out!

A flash of light passed by, and Garp felt his hand go empty, followed by a frost spreading across it.

Looking up, he saw that Doflamingo had already been dragged away by Sakura to a distance of over 100 meters.

At the same time, Sakura was pressing Doflamingo down with both hands, and green light emanated from the point of contact between them.

The other Sakura also held a giant sword surrounded by a storm, ready to defend herself.

"Space, healing, frost, clones, your abilities are truly complex!"

Garp unbuttoned his cape, tie, and suit jacket, then rolled up the sleeves of his shirt to reveal his muscular arms.

The warm-up activities are over; now it's time to get serious.

"My abilities are almost fully revealed; if this continues, he'll be able to counter them!"

Sakura took a deep breath and reminded Doflamingo beside her.

A pure powerhouse like Garp, a master of both strength and physical prowess, has no fancy tricks, only simple, unadorned stats—stats, and damn it, stats.

The longer you fight against such a powerful opponent, the easier it is to discover the patterns of ninjutsu.

Once Garp has figured out Sakura's various abilities, if she doesn't want to stay in Impel Down permanently, she'll have no choice but to slink back to the ninja world.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Doflamingo, having received emergency treatment for his injuries, got up from the ground, gathering Haki in his arms and turning them black.

"I'll create an opportunity for you. You just need to break through his domineering defenses, even just a little bit will do!"

Sakura hoists the Storm Sword, while Doflamingo leaps into the sky on silken threads.

In the distance, Garp's aura surged, and the surrounding blood-red light and darkness became even more intense, as if he were shrouded in scarlet flames, his ferocious power rampant!

Seeing that Sakura in front of him had suddenly turned into two people, with the Storm Swords crossed and posing in a familiar pose.

"Elbaf's spear?"

Garp was initially surprised and amazed, but then revealed genuine joy.

The regret of not being able to fight the legendary King of Giants, who was absent from the God Valley incident forty years ago, may be somewhat made up for today.

Although you, the girl in front of me, are not yet at your peak in terms of age.

But he... couldn't wait any longer!

"Kid, don't die!"

Amidst hysterical laughter, a crimson meteor rose, its shockwave shattering the streets on either side.

A blood-red cross, imbued with Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki, bloomed in Garp's hand as he threw a punch into the air in front of him.

At the same time, Sakura's power reached its peak, and a large amount of Boil Release chakra and cold air filled the storm's giant sword.

The two longswords clashed and slashed, unleashing a storm powerful enough to pierce through everything, with a deafening roar.

"The Spear of Elbaf - Overlord!" *2

"Fist Bone Impact!"

boom! ! !

The collision of the two impacts caused the earth to tremble violently, and the entire sea seemed to surge, with waves rising and terrifying forces exploding in the ocean currents.

The crimson impact, imbued with domineering aura, gradually devoured the cyan impact, and the balance of power was slowly tilting towards Garp.

"Doflamingo!"

The impact slashed open a bloody gash on Sakura's body, and she roared loudly while maintaining her sword-wielding stance.

Amidst the impact, Doflamingo, covered in blood, broke through the storm.

Finally, while Garp was intently observing Sakura Haruno, she suddenly appeared beside him.

"Garp, this strike is for my family!!!"

The burning will converges into a tiny dot on the fingertip, a black line that is both effortless and ethereal.

But the moment it touched Garp's abdomen, it pierced through the Haki above, leaving only a hole the size of a pencil.

"Success!!"

As Doflamingo shouted, Garp punched him in the chest.

"well done!"

Just as he was about to be sent flying backward, the cherry blossom mark on his body flashed, and he instantly switched places with Sakura.

—Flying Thunder God Technique: Mutual Instantaneous Reversal!

"what?"

Garp was startled. Due to the clash between their Conqueror's Haki, his Observation Haki was unable to see the future clearly, thus revealing a weakness.

The right hand remained in a punching motion, and there was no time to retract it.

In his haste, Garp swung his left fist, exposing a large, undefended area in his abdomen.

Snapped!

Sakura's hand reached out before him, pressing against the vacuum of Haki that Doflamingo had pierced through, and she poured her chakra in without reservation.

"Ninja Technique·Five Elements Seal!"

A powerful seal, strong enough to restrict the chakra of the tailed beasts, was channeled into Garp's body through the chakra pathways, sealing away the power of this legendary Marine.

Garp's legs buckled and he fell backward to the ground, but the Haki still flowing through his body began to dispel the alien energy that had invaded his body, as if it were about to break free at any moment.

"Ahem, you won?"

Doflamingo, who flew back on the silk threads in the air, saw Garp lying on the ground. Unable to detect any chakra, he assumed that Sakura Haruno had won.

"Win my ass! It only temporarily limits their strength. Take your men and get out of here while you still can!"

Without hesitation, Sakura released a large amount of steam and flew into the sky under the manipulation of heat.

Doflamingo glanced at Garp, who was lying on the ground with a still fierce look in his eyes, and shuddered.

They immediately tied the three cadres together with silk thread and fled quickly via the open passage.

—I'm off! You're good to go!

Chapter 93 Since things have come to this, let's have a drink first.

A strong wind blew, and the water vapor swept over a large ship that looked like a flamingo.

The dark, oppressive tides pounded against the hull, and the hardwood groaned and creaked.

Sometimes it is thrown out by the waves and soars into the air, and sometimes it falls into the trough of the waves and is almost completely swallowed by the sea.

Even such terrible weather during the voyage could not overshadow the joy of the crew members who had survived the ordeal.

"I never expected to escape from that legendary navy officer."

Diamanti, who had covered the two lines on his face with a fur-lined hat, laughed.

"Fufufufu, perhaps this is a blessing in disguise?"

Doflamingo, with thick bandages wrapped around his head and chest, leaned against the main seat on the deck.

"Hey, Dover, where are we going now?"

Torrepol, whose face was distorted from being beaten, leaned on a cane and spoke with a lisp.

"You people really don't understand. At a time like this, you should be having a feast with wine and meat!"

An unusual voice interrupted, completely steers their conversation off course.

The Don Quixote family members turned their heads in the direction of the voice, wanting to see which guy was so bold as to say such a thing during a meeting of officials.

Then, they saw the nightmarish pink-haired girl sitting on the mast, wiping the dirt off her face with a towel.

"What the hell are you doing here?!"

The Don Quixote family's executives bared their shark teeth and roared at Sakura Haruno above.

"Fufufufu, what? Want to board our ship, witch?"

Doflamingo raised his hand and beckoned to one of the crew members, signaling him to get the wine.

"Forget it, your whole family combined isn't enough to beat me. What's the point of joining you? To compete for the position of Shichibukai?"

Squinting to avoid getting raindrops in her eyes, Sakura spoke casually.

Although she was very assertive, Sakura's reason for being on this ship was quite simple.

During the fight with Garp, the permanent pointer hanging around his neck broke due to the impact.

"You bastard, how dare you insult the young master? Want to fight?"

With her high-pitched voice, Pica dragged her massive body behind her, shielding Doflamingo.

"I don't care, it's your ship anyway."

Sakura, perched on the mast, casually fiddled with the broken pointer and shrugged at them.

"Alright, Pica, don't ruin this friendship that's meant to be shared through thick and thin."

The crew member who had been called by Doflamingo to fetch the wine had returned. He took out a bottle of wine that was originally meant for the Celestial Dragons and threw it onto the mast.

"Try it, it's a special treat from the Holy Land, and I'll also give you the Devil Fruit I promised you earlier."

Doflamingo crossed his legs, sitting arrogantly, but made no attempt to hide his intention to win him over.

"Oh!"

The clear liquid swirled inside the brown bottle, looking like a fine wine, which made Sakura's eyes light up.

He landed on the deck and took the bottle opener handed to him by an unknown crew member.

Open the package amidst the popping sound of bubbles, tilt your head back with gusto, and down the drink in one gulp.

"Little Lord!"

Upon hearing Doflamingo's decision, Diamante also stepped forward, his eyes filled with admonition.

The warship originally intended to carry the celestial gold was seized back by the navy during the recent escape.

Only a small amount of treasure and two Devil Fruits have survived because they were kept on the pirate ship.

Now, with this offer to share half of the loot, the cadres, including Diamanti, were heartbroken.

"No need for further words, my mind is made up!"

Doflamingo spoke decisively, while simultaneously expressing his frustration with his family members who saw immediate benefits in their lives.

What can we do if we don't give it to her? She's one person attacking our whole boat. If she gets murderous and just takes it by force, who on the whole boat can stop her?

"Flamingo, you're something else!"

Sakura smiled, her Observation Haki allowing her to discern emotions and read his thoughts, and raised the sake bottle in her hand towards Doflamingo.

“Fufufufu.…”

Doflamingo grinned and waved to his subordinates, signaling them to open a bottle of wine for him as well.

With a crisp clinking sound, the two men downed the liquid in their bottles.

"My men, let's celebrate our survival with a feast!"

"Oh!"

With the captain's command, laughter and cheers gradually began to echo across the large pink ship.

Unlike the carefree atmosphere of Shanks' team, Doflamingo's ship had a more hierarchical feel to it.

Crew members were separated from each other, and cadres were separated from each other; a clear boundary separated the group of people.

"See? I'm pretty good to my family, aren't I?"

After a few rounds of drinks, Doflamingo asked in a joking tone, clearly still harboring designs on someone.
