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

"Well, let's go!"

Sakura increased her power output, boosting the Leviathan's speed by one step.

.

.

After several days of sailing, an island with a giant seagull-shaped rock gradually came into view for Sakura and Law.

"We've arrived, Sakura-nee!"

For the past few days, Law has been spending his time on the ship either studying medicine or being trained in Devil Fruit abilities by Sakura, which has left him incredibly bored.

Now that he has seen land again, he is naturally extremely excited due to his youthful spirit.

The Leviathan slowly approached the shore and finally dropped anchor outside the shallows.

Sakura used a scroll to cover the Leviathan and took Law ashore from a remote place.

However, a sharp slash suddenly struck down.

Sakura took a step back while holding Luo.

The earth was ripped open, leaving a bottomless chasm. Cadet soldiers from the elite naval battalion, armed with guns and swords, rushed out of the jungle behind the beach and surrounded the two men.

In a gap deliberately left in the encirclement, a shirtless man with purple hair slowly walked out.

Zephyr, the instructor of the elite naval battalion, makes a bold entrance!

"Hey, Sakura-nee, isn't this situation a bit bad?!"

Luo swallowed hard and said in a low voice.

The man blocking their way is no weakling.

He was a monster who once held the title of Admiral! A naval legend who once struck fear into the hearts of countless pirates on the high seas.

"Wait here, I'll clear a path for you. Use your abilities to escape. I'll come find you after I've dealt with this place!"

Sakura pressed down on Law's hat and whispered a reminder, but suddenly felt someone grab the hem of her clothes.

Looking down, I saw Luo, who was trying her best to hold back her tears.

"Sister Xiaoying, you must, you absolutely must survive!"

"Don't worry, I don't plan to end my journey here."

Sakura smiled smugly, and her exquisite icy robes began to rise from her body.

"Witch Haruno Sakura, we've finally been waiting for you!"

Zefa stood in the distance, arms crossed, his tone conveying a sense of superiority.

"Don't worry, your journey is over. We'll arrange for you to move into Impel Down!"

With a quick wrist movement, Zephyr shattered the earth and shot towards Sakura like an arrow.

"It's now!"

Sakura shouted, and her Conqueror's Haki roared as she soared into the sky.

The surrounding soldiers, radiated by this aura, fell to the ground with their eyes rolling back.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Luo opened his operating room and teleported to a place more than ten meters away.

"You think you can let the Op-Op Fruit user go? You won't get your way!"

As Zephyr threw a punch at Sakura, he shouted out two names.

"Smog, Hina!"

"Don't even think about chasing after him!"

Sakura bit her finger, quickly formed hand seals, and slammed her hand on the ground, creating intricate patterns!

—The art of spirit communication!

Bang!

A huge plume of smoke shot into the sky, and a slug the size of a small hill stood upright.

"what!"

The unexpected turn of events startled the three marines who were still conscious. Zephyr punched the slug's body, but the Haki exploded from the inside, only tearing open a small piece of flesh.

The detached flesh split into tiny slugs, which quickly crawled back onto the giant slug and repaired the wound in an instant.

"An immortal monster!"

Zephyr's expression was solemn as he stared intently at Sakura Haruno, who was standing atop the slug's head.

"Slug, stop those two in front! Spray acid!"

"Yes, Sakura-sama!"

The slug's mouth swelled and writhed, and she spat out a large mouthful of magical acid infused with natural energy.

Before the torrent of acid hit the ground, scattered drops of water dissolved into a small pit on the beach.

'strong acid!'

Zephyr's heart skipped a beat. His gaze swept over the many unconscious naval cadets around him, and he almost gritted his teeth in frustration.

"mean!"

"Smoker, Hina, come back and save them!"

Zephyr shouted loudly, transforming himself into a streak of light, roughly kicking the unconscious naval cadets out of the range of the acid spray.

Upon hearing the second order, Smoker and Hina, who were in the distance, had no choice but to abandon their pursuit and turn back.

They threw smoke and black iron spears at the acid torrent to block it.

"Hmph, your navy used hostage tactics first, and now you have the nerve to call me despicable?"

Sakura stood on the slug's head with her arms crossed and snorted coldly.

After rescuing the people below, Zephyr raised his tiger eyes, and flames burned in his dark pupils.

"Despicable pirate, surrender now!"

The former admiral, fueled by rage, strikes once more.

Chapter 103 Bloom! Armament Haki! (Bonus chapter thanks to Kitahara for the donation)

Using the Six Styles of the Navy skillfully, Zephyr ascended into the sky with Moonwalk.

Flying past the height of a slug, he performed a mid-air spin, unleashing a magnificent slash.

"Storm Kick - Spiral White Blade!"

The high-speed spinning, twisting slash flew through the air and headed towards Sakura.

"Jingshan!"

With her arms crossed in a cross shape, Sakura's body was covered in several layers of icy armor.

The spreading ice crystals also froze into an ice crystal shield on the arm, colliding with the incoming slash.

"Hmph, naive!"

Seeing Sakura resist his attack, Zephyr sneered.

Immediately, the attacking wind blade exploded at the location of Sakura's arm.

The flowing Armament Haki penetrated Sakura's defenses, shattering the ice layer before continuing its forward motion.

The wind blades, carrying fragments, stopped leaving countless tiny wounds on Sakura's arms before dissipating.

"it hurts!"

Sakura looked down at her arm, which was covered in redness and bruises, with blood oozing from the wounds.

Several months later, Sakura once again faced a powerful opponent with pure physical strength and domineering aura, and she experienced that feeling of being unable to defend herself.

It wasn't that her will was crumbling, but rather that her survival instinct, stimulated by Armament Haki, subconsciously led her to choose an escape strategy.

"Your hands are already useless. If you don't want to lose them completely, then surrender!"

Zephyr used a few nimble flips to cushion the fall and landed back on the ground.

"Heh, crippled?"

The girl on the giant slug grinned, revealing a sinister smile.

She inserted her hands into the slug's body, and when she pulled them out, her arms looked brand new.

"What? That monster actually has the power to heal injuries!"

Zefa looked at the slug and felt a surge of envy.

If such a valuable item could be deployed to the battlefield, how many soldiers fighting on the front lines could save their lives!

—Little girl, I think your worm has a connection with the navy, so it's confiscated!

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to keep attacking? Then it'll be my turn!"

Sakura leaped down from the slug's head, her clenched fist pulsating with a strange power.

The surrounding water molecules began to gather due to the fluctuations, and finally exploded in Sakura's punch.

—Fishman Karate: Samewa Seiken!

"not good!"

Observation Haki immediately snapped Zephyr out of his daze, instinctively yelling at him that he absolutely must not take that punch head-on.

In the nick of time, Zephyr quickly stomped on the ground and used Shave to retreat swiftly.

boom!

The monstrous strength of the giant royal family, combined with the burst of Boil Release chakra, elevated Sakura's power to an unimaginable level.

Finally, he added a straight punch from the Fishman Karate style, which tore the earth apart with a single blow, shattering the entire eastern beach of the island.

Large swathes of smoke billowed out, obscuring everyone's figures.

"Teacher Zefa!"

Hina and Smoker struggled to rush forward.

"Slug, stop them!"

Slugs, acting on Sakura's orders, sprayed acid at them, carrying the two top-performing naval cadets out of the battlefield.

"What the hell is this-"

As the smoke cleared, Zephyr's expression turned utterly astonished as he looked at the ravaged land.

What amazing power!

"No, a monster like you cannot be allowed to continue growing! In the name of justice!"

Zefa's gaze turned cold, originating from his very soul, where his yearning for justice transformed into a blazing will.

The pitch-black color spread across his arms, and his overwhelming Armament Haki subtly distorted the air around Zephyr, causing the dark lightning to twist and roar, intimidating everything!

"Shatter Star - Shatter!"

Zephyr swung his fist with a roar, his Armament Haki blaring out in a high-pitched cry as it tore through the air, moving with incredible speed like a black lightning bolt.

Sakura used her full Observation Haki to sense every blade of grass and tree within a radius of several kilometers.

So fast, even Observation Haki couldn't completely capture his movements.

"Then come on, former Admiral Zephyr!"

Since you can't see clearly, just encompass everything in your fist!

Sakura raised her fist, and a large amount of chakra with water-based properties gathered, creating many water droplets in the air.

—Fishman Karate: Karakusa Tile Straight Fist!

With a straight punch, a 360° shockwave emanated from Sakura's fist.

A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth.
