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

Even though their creators have been gone for hundreds of years, the entire laboratory remains pristine and brand new.

But what truly bewildered Sakura and Jabba was not these autonomous robots.

Instead, they were giant petri dishes containing long-dead, enormous humanoid skeletons.

"This is... a giant..."

Jabba fell silent, his sunglasses slipped down, revealing his trembling pupils.

Sakura Haruno slowly stepped forward and gently placed her hand on the surface of the petri dish.

It was as if a sense of sorrow that transcended time was calling to her, drawing her deeper into the depths of existence.

So the girl didn't hesitate and started running.

"Hey, Sakura!"

Jabba had no choice but to follow closely again.

The sound of footsteps echoed through the empty laboratory floor.

Sakura ran all the way to the innermost part of the laboratory, where a magnificent blend of azure and crimson colors unfolded before them.

The light illuminates a mysterious plant, rooted in a crevice where ice and fire meet.

One half of the leaf is shaped like a burning flame, while the other half is made of ice crystals.

At the top of the plant grows a fruit covered with strange patterns.

"A Devil Fruit, the Devil Fruit from the mural outside!!!"

Jabba slowed his breathing, afraid that his heavy breathing might affect the treasure.

Sakura stepped forward and reached out her hand to the fruit on the plant.

As if drawn by something, the Devil Fruit fell into Sakura's hands.

"Devil Fruit, the power cursed by the sea."

Sakura's soft voice rang out in the quiet laboratory, sounding particularly clear.

"It seems this fruit has chosen you."

He accompanied Roger into God Valley and fought against Jabba of the God Knights, learning many secrets about Devil Fruits, one of which is the will of the Devil Fruit.

The many Devil Fruits on the sea are each inhabited by a will. The will of the fruit will spontaneously choose a suitable master and guide them to eat it.

There are rumors that this characteristic is particularly pronounced in Zoan-type characters.

"Well, since you found this, it's your treasure."

"It's up to you whether you want it or not..."

Jabba's words were interrupted by the girl's voice before he could finish speaking.

Click! ! !

"It tastes awful, it really tastes awful!"

The girl gagged as she swallowed the fruit in large gulps, a lingering, terrifying taste surfacing on her taste buds.

It's like eating durian mixed with canned herring that's been boiled in hot water; the fishy smell and the strange taste that's hard to bear mix together in your mouth.

"Jabbar, yue~"

Sakura looked pitifully at the burly man beside her.

"Listen to what they have to say properly!"

Enraged, Jabba bared his shark teeth and clenched his fist, slamming it down on Sakura's head.

A chilling blue aura crept up his arm, instantly freezing half of his body.

"Oh, so this is your ability?"

Jabba grinned, revealing a smug smile.

"Kid, let this old man teach you today. Only with domineering power can you rise above everything!"

Armament Haki surged forth, shattering the solid ice on his hands.

Jaba's hearty laughter collided with the blazing light in Sakura Haruno's hand.

boom! ! ! !

The entire island trembled, and the Roger Group, Rayleigh Group, Oden Group, and others who were exploring other ruins all raised their heads and looked in the direction from which the domineering aura burst forth.

...

As the sun sets behind the mountains.

The Roger Pirates crew members, who had split up to explore, reunited on the Orleans Jackson.

Roger happily hugged his copy of the Poneglyph and read it with Oden in a corner of the deck.

Rayleigh, as the first mate, crossed his arms and looked at Jabba and Sakura Haruno.

"So, how did you two end up like this?"

Jabba was covered in wounds; his clothes on the upper body were burned off, half of his eyebrows were singed off, and his hair was covered in ice shavings.

Standing next to him, Sakura Haruno was covered in dust, and had several large bumps on her head.

"Sorry, I got a little carried away after getting the power of the Devil Fruit."

Since she was the one who started it, Sakura Haruno took the initiative to step forward and take responsibility for her mistake.

"Clam--!"

Sakura Haruno's words immediately attracted the attention of the other idle crew members, and the crowd surrounded them in layers.

Sambell, the fishman who bickers with Sakura, asks the question that's been on everyone's mind on behalf of all the Roger Pirates members.

"So, what exactly is this ability?"

Chapter 10 One Piece and Hope

Devil Fruit, Paramecia type, Heat Fruit.

A fruit that grants Sakura Haruno the ability to freely interfere with the heat of things.

From now on, Sakura Haruno can refer to herself as a heat-generating person who ate the Heat-Heat Fruit.

"It's an incredible power, but unfortunately it's only just been acquired and its development is not yet complete."

The rock in her hand was instantly melted by Sakura Haruno's ability, turning into a pool of lava.

Then she drew away the heat, transforming it into obsidian that shone with a bright, translucent light.

The poor rock, just like Talking Tom, was mercilessly toyed with by the girl.

"Giving heat is called the red hand, taking heat is called the blue hand, and from now on this move will be called the red and blue hand!"

Sakura Haruno's style suddenly changed, sticking out her tongue and acting cute towards the Roger Pirates members.

"Take your move names seriously!"

Jabba swung his hand chop and struck Sakura on the head.

"That's right. If you act like this, you'll be at a disadvantage when facing enemies in the future."

Upon hearing Jabba's words, Rayleigh nodded seriously.

"Hmph, Uncle Rayleigh, you're not qualified to talk to me since you never call out your moves when you fight."

Sakura Haruno makes the same funny face as Anya, waving her little hand casually.

"If we were defeated by such a move, it would only become a laughing stock of the entire ocean."

The girl's devilish, comical smile lingered in the minds of all the Roger Pirates crew members.

Remember this: although cool move names seem to be everywhere.

But no one can bear the shame of being killed by a "pink bunny".

"Hey, guys, the new direction has been decided!"

Roger, having received the translated version of the historical text, rushed over excitedly.

The members of Roger's pirate crew rushed towards Roger as if they had found a savior.

Finally, the incident ended with Sakura being ordered by Roger not to use such a technique on her companions.

The historical rubbings brought back from Vulcan Island record the addresses of the last two red road signs.

Sakura Haruno followed Roger and his group to Wano Country first.

There, they sent Kozuki Toki and her two children back to Kuri, made copies of the road sign text, and then went to the furry principality of Zou.

After finding the last piece of the road sign text, the Al Jackson set sail toward its intended destination—the final island.

On the deck, Bucky, who was excitedly anticipating the moment, suddenly turned red all over and collapsed to the ground.

"You actually got sick before the big dare? Are you a child?"

Inside the medical pod, Shanks, leaning against the door, complains about Bucky.

"Hehe, this might be the unfortunate situation of missing out on a treasure we're so close to~"

Sakura Haruno carried a basket of fruit and placed it on Buggy's bedside table.

As he turned around, he casually pulled out an apple and started taking a bite.

"Shut up, you super-strong gorilla! I said I'm all better now!"

"Ok?"

A fierce glint flashed in Sakura Haruno's eyes. She pulled out a quilt and rope and tied Buggy up tightly.

Unexpectedly, during her actions, she broke Bucky's body in two.

"You bastard, when did you eat that Devil Fruit?!"

Sakura was taken aback by his change, which allowed Buggy to escape her grasp.

Bucky, who had escaped, ignored her completely and flew halfway out to grab Roger's leg.

"Captain, take me there! I don't want to become the unlucky one in the mouth of that monstrous gorilla!"

"Tie Baa!"

Sakura Haruno grabbed Bucky's head and pulled him off Roger's lap.

Forcefully stuff him back into the blanket and seal the blanket's exit point from Bucky's neck.

After all that commotion, it gradually got dark.

Shanks took the ice pack Sakura Haruno made and placed it on Buggy's forehead, who was still talking incessantly.

"With Tomoejiro causing such a ruckus, are you two really sure it's okay if you don't go? Red Taro, Sakura."

Oden folded his hands and hid them in his sleeves, while Roger, sitting in front of him, was also watching them.

“Mr. Oden, Captain, if we’re going, we’ll go in our own ship.”

"When the time comes, I'll make Sakura my first mate!"

Shanks put on the straw hat Roger had given him and grinned as he extended his hand to Sakura Haruno.

"You think beautiful!"

Sakura Haruno flicked Shanks to the ground and snatched his chair.

"Conquer the seas, hone your spirit, and ultimately transform everything into resources for cultivating your will."

"Only by traversing the entire journey myself can I develop Conqueror's Haki to the level of a captain, right?"

After saying that, Sakura turned her head and smiled at Roger.

"Then I'm counting on you two, Sakura, Shanks!"

Roger stood up and patted Sakura Haruno and Shanks on the head.

"Oh, by the way, it's not easy to win over our Sakura, Shanks, you'd better try harder."

"I will work hard."
