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

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the sound of a sharp blade piercing his body.

Before Marcus Dorian, a rapier of ice pierced through his chest, and divine blood dripped from its tip.

"Your blood is red too, it doesn't look noble at all!" Sakura asked coldly, sword in hand. "And besides, there's no way to revive you this time, is there?"

Blood spilled from his mouth and nose, and Marcus Dorian revealed a final,狰狞 smile: "Ha...ha...I'll be waiting for you in...hell!"

Sakura drew her longsword, and he fell to the ground, his blood spreading and staining the scorched earth with a magnificent hue.

"Miss Sakura, isn't this... a bit inappropriate?"

Two Revolutionary Army soldiers stepped forward slightly, preparing to stop what they saw as Sakura's meaningless killing.

"It doesn't matter, I'll take care of things with the World Government!"

Sakura's emerald eyes flashed with anger, and her domineering aura erupted, blasting the two of them away.

Then, she raised her hand and placed it on her stomach, and chakra seeped into her soul.

——Ninja Technique·Four Symbols Seal·Resolution

A sealed consciousness flew out of Sakura's soul and rushed into her body.

Emerging from the darkness, Manmaia Milia saw the chaotic scene and immediately understood what had happened. "So that's how it is. They came to kill me, sweetheart~"

"At least you have some self-awareness!"

Sakura, carrying a blood-stained sword, walked up to her.

"No, you won't do it."

Manmaia Milia smiled with a sense of victory, and she ripped open her clothes to reveal her smooth chest.

A transparent ball of light was embedded in it, but Sakura's Observation Haki allowed her to sense the soul of the entire El Shah nation from it.

"you...."

"How about it, isn't it great?"

Seeing Sakura's drooping sword tip, Manmaia Milia happily spun around, letting out a silvery laugh.

Behind her, countless layers of ice rose up, each one containing a citizen of the El Shah.

"They were all killed in the hunting competition three years ago. I allowed them to survive as spirits! Can you feel the presence of their spirits?"

With a cheerful dance step, Manmaia Milia came to Sakura and took her hand, placing it on her chest.

The blue-haired girl's eyes were filled with curiosity. She wanted to know how this girl, whose soul and intellect always maintained their human self, would choose between killing and saving.

Even if it costs her own life.

"Oh, my sweetheart, what will you choose?"

However, behind Manmaia Milia was something she didn't notice.

The many souls standing on this land are now casting hateful glances at her.

"So, I'm already dead?"

Helmod, with her short orange hair, lowered her head and looked at her illusory, transparent body.

Taking a deep breath, Helmod turned his head slightly, his resolute gaze sweeping over the souls of the many citizens behind him, and not a single one flinched.

He smiled upon receiving the answer, his final power breaking through the ice that had trapped him on the surface of his body.

Click!

The sound of ice cracking caught the attention of the two people ahead.

Helmod waved to the hesitant Sakura, uttered his last words, and then his body dissolved and vanished like a bubble.

"On behalf of the people and in the name of Prince Elshah, I implore you, Lord Sakura, to take action!"

"what!"

Manmaia Milia's face turned ugly.

Turning around, I saw Sakura's clear emerald eyes and the raised icy slender sword.

"understood!"

puff!

Chapter 118 Flash vs. Flash

"Cough cough..."

Manmaia Milia, whose heart had been pierced, frowned in pain and coughed up two mouthfuls of blood.

"I never expected to be tricked by a dead man."

Blood loss caused her organs to become oxygen-deprived, resulting in her lungs rising and falling more dramatically.

She struggled to lift her head, her golden pupils reflecting Sakura's image.

"Sweetheart, do you really not want to become a Celestial Dragon?"

"I have no interest in becoming trash!"

Sakura crossed her arms, her face full of disgust and rejection.

"Ahem, this is not up to you. You've been targeted by the boss, and there's no escaping it!"

Manmaia Milia's breathing became increasingly heavy, and her voice grew weak and hoarse.

In the final moments of her life, whether out of a twisted sense of humor or a sense of conscience, she turned her gaze to the glass dish beside her.

"Let me tell you one last thing: that woman is... one of the Five Elders' experiments... and you... can't save her..."

The light in the blue-haired girl's eyes disappeared, her lungs stopped rising and falling, and her head slumped to the side.

"Commander Ginny, Commander Ginny!"

In the distance, revolutionary soldiers who were rescuing their comrades from the glass dish cried out anxiously.

"Miss Sakura, come and take a look!"

Barney Joe went up to Sakura and pulled her away to run into the distance.

Sakura approached Ginny, who was wrapped in a coat, and gave her a preliminary examination.

"There are too many signs of surgical modifications on his body, and it seems that some kind of disease has been implanted in him?"

Sakura attempted to channel Yang Release chakra into the other person's body, but stopped when she discovered that this action would cause jade-like scales to grow on the other person's skin.

"You're kidding, right? Commander Ginny, how could you...?"

Barney Joe, his pupils trembling, took two steps back, but then he remembered who had kidnapped Ginny.

His eyes burned with fury as he turned to the two Celestial Dragon corpses, regretting that he hadn't been the one to kill them.

"Ms. Sakura, Commander Ginny has made many contributions to the revolutionary army and liberated many oppressed people. I beg you to save her!"

Terry Gildeo knelt down and bowed his head to Sakura.

"I'd like to, but with the resources we have now, I'm afraid we can't save her."

"I'll save her life first. As for the rest, let's talk about that after we get off this island!"

A flash of Observation Haki appeared in Sakura's emerald eyes. Having already probed from a distance of tens of kilometers, she discovered twenty 100-meter-class naval warships heading towards the island.

"What do you mean?" A clear, innocent confusion appeared in their eyes.

While using a sealing technique to solidify Ginny's state, Sakura stuffed her into Leviathan's belly, saying, "The Buster Call is coming!"

"Slaughter...the Buster Call!!!"

Terry Kildeo and Barney Joe's screams echoed throughout the island.

On a warship in the open sea, a man in a yellow striped suit slowly picked up a cup of hot tea and took a sip.

"Hmm~, it's still a bit hot~"

He sighed as he placed the exquisite teacup back on the tea tray.

"General Borsalino, we have arrived at Sunlight Island!"

"Lieutenant General Doberman, Lieutenant General Bastieu, Lieutenant General Pomsky, Lieutenant General Firemount, and Lieutenant General Stolberg are ready and awaiting your orders."

The soldiers on the warship opened the cabin door, saluted Borusalino, and reported.

"Let them wait. I'm going to the island anyway, and by the time I get back, the tea should be cold."

With a long, languid tone, the man in the room had vanished by the time the soldier who saluted him looked up.

The dazzling light dimmed the sun-drenched island of Nikko, with flashes of light dripping from the sky and filling the air.

Sakura raised her hand to shield her eyes from the blinding light, and in the next instant, the light, capable of piercing through glass and skin, converged into a human shape in front of her.

"Hmm~, just like they said, a Celestial Dragon has indeed died. This is troublesome~"

The man floating in mid-air glanced at the two blood-covered corpses, his justice coat billowing in the wind behind him.

"So, miss, would you please surrender obediently? I've heard from my colleagues that you're quite difficult to deal with."

"No way! Just catch me if you can!"

Sakura had already stuffed the three Revolutionary Army members into Leviathan. She patted Night Sparrow on her shoulder, signaling her to take off first.

He then pulled out a Flying Thunder God kunai and threw it forcefully at Kizaru. The kunai emitted a sharp whistling sound and pierced his heart.

The particles of light dissipated into the air, and the kunai, which was not even imbued with Armament Haki, instantly flew into the sky and disappeared.

"How terrifying! I was hoping to have a good chat with you, Miss!"

However, in the next instant, before he could even finish speaking, light gathered in front of Sakura Haruno.

"Miss, have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"

Sakura, whose Observation Haki was locked on the target the entire time, remained completely calm when facing Borsalino's attack.

She lowered her body slightly and smiled.

"No, and I don't plan to have any!"

call out!

The illusion of time and space flickered, and Sakura's body vanished instantly, causing Borsalino's radiant leg to miss its target.

A dazzling light suddenly shot out, exploding in the distant ruins of the royal palace and rising into a ball of flame.

"Speed? No, is it space?"

Kizaru lowered his brown sunglasses and lazily looked at the girl flying in the sky.

"This is truly humiliating!"

Borsalino stretched out his hands as if to hold a ball, and a beam of light shot out from between his palms, refracting several times before reaching Sakura in the sky.

"Yata mirror!"

The body had already transformed into light, moving at the speed of light in the orbit.

The next moment, photons converged in front of Sakura, and a laser-shining finger suddenly pierced out.

"Kizaru is really troublesome!"

A domineering aura swirled around his fist as the Fishman Karate expert unleashed a powerful counterattack with a 5,000-watt straight punch.

boom!

A violent explosion occurred, and Kizaru transformed into flashing particles to evade it.

As a master of Observation Haki, he was even fast enough during the Marineford War to evade Whitebeard's sneak attacks.

Sakura also fell to the ground due to the blast wave, but with the Flying Thunder God Kunai in her hand, she threw it into the distance.

"Oh~, your spatial abilities rely on that strange weapon? It doesn't look as useful as mine."

Photons flashed, and Kizaru, who had been pursuing them, converged beside Sakura, pulling together a longsword made of laser light.

The sword tip instantly extended dozens of meters, shattering Sakura's Flying Thunder God Kunai in one fell swoop. Then, a hint of smugness appeared on the tall man's face.

"That was close! You almost got away."

"is it?"
