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

Upon hearing the words "Tree of Omniscience," Sauro visibly turned pale.

"Wait, you said this is... Ohara, the Tree of All Knowledge!!!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Saul could no longer withstand his injuries and fainted.

In the final moments before his consciousness was about to enter chaos, he saw a large "danger" character above his head.

I...I...

My life has been like walking on thin ice!

Chapter 39 The Island Begins to Burn

"Well--!"

Sauro, who was unconscious, opened his eyes and found that his body was wrapped in bandages.

His gaze moved upwards, landing on Nicole Robin, who was squatting on a small hill.

"Did you bandage my wound? Thank you!"

The giant stretched out his broad hand and tapped Robin's head without saying a word.

"By the way, my name is Sauro, Haguwar D. Sauro."

"D?"

Robin, who intended to tell the other person the truth, was immediately drawn to Saul's middle name.

"Well, I'm not too sure about that either. I only know that everyone in my family carries this letter."

"De le hee, de le hee hee hee hee!"

Sauro withdrew his enormous hand, scratched his head, and then burst into laughter.

"What a strange laugh!" Robin, who was hugging her legs, laughed out loud when she saw Saul like this: "My name is Nico Robin, and I didn't bandage your wound!"

"I bandaged you up! You heartless giant!"

A large chunk of roasted sea monster meat was thrown out and shoved into Sauro's throat, silencing his laughter.

"Well?"

Sauro swallowed the food and turned around to see the pink-haired girl panting in the distance.

"Sakura-chan!"

The giant's eyes lit up at first, then his expression turned grim.

"Oh no, something terrible has happened..."

"This is Ohara, I know it!"

Unlike the panicked opponent, Sakura Haruno came specifically for the achievement points she could earn in Ohara, so she was naturally mentally prepared.

However, Saulo, who had his warship intercepted but was not pursued by the navy, continued to drift along his original course to Ohara.

How should I put it? Is it some kind of mysterious force guiding everything?

"The Halle Codex...a prophecy of the Third World."

Sakura Haruno sighed softly, staring intently at her raised hand.

Navigating this future, anchored by all sorts of bizarre Devil Fruit abilities and even precognition, is truly... exhilarating!

"What should we do? That's a force capable of destroying a nation!"

Sauro's two large hands ruffled Sauro's lion-like beard and mane, sending him crashing to the ground and kicking up a huge cloud of dust.

"Wait, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

"Hey, Sakura-chan, tell me!"

Seeing the two evasive answers, Little Robin anxiously stepped forward and grasped Sakura Haruno's hand.

"The scholars of Ohara Island and the Tree of Omniscience have been targeted by the World Government, which has issued an order to eliminate them, known as the Buster Call!"

"Annihilate...Sakura, you're lying to me!"

Robin covered his mouth, took two steps back, and his pupils and eyebrows trembled violently.

"We should be able to spot government warships from the west side of the island now, and your mother should be arriving on the island soon!"

Sakura's heart was also heavy, after all, she had to tell such a young child the fact that her hometown was about to be destroyed.

"I do not believe!"

With her eyes closed, Robin used her powers to build a staircase and ran directly towards the distant town.

Sauro reached out to stop the child who had also helped him, but he couldn't reach her.

He could only turn his head and look at Sakura longingly: "Sakura-chan."

"Sauro!"

Sakura's deep voice rang out, causing the giant to straighten up.

"I'm going to help them, do you want to come with me?"

Using her Observation Haki, Sakura heard commotion in a distant town and used Shave to disappear.

"Ah, I...I'm such a...big fool!"

The giant roared as he stood up and strode forward in the direction where the two girls had disappeared.

at the same time.

On the northwest side of Ohara Island, four ships fully loaded with agents of the World Government's secret assassination force have arrived.

"Hey, stop dawdling! You won't let me off the hook if you delay my promotion."

A man in a black overcoat, smoking a cigar, stepped off the ship.

"Listen, one mission is to control the scholars, and the other is to search for evidence of crimes."

"Yes, Commander Spandine!"

Government agents armed with guns answered in unison. They entered the town of O'Hara, smashing and burning homes everywhere, searching for any evidence that could be used to convict the scholar.

Soon flames and chaos began to spread across the island, and the peaceful lives of the Ohara residents were shattered after that day.

"Wow! I think I can already hear the sound of a successful official career!"

With an indifferent gait, Spandam walked through the burning town, waving his arms as if commanding the flames.

Crossing the street, Spandam and his group arrived at the outer side of the Tree of Omniscience.

A large number of CP9 agents are standing here, and many scholars have also been captured.

"Hahaha, how's everything going, everyone?"

Spandain crossed his arms and walked up to the scholars.

"Yes, you've worked hard too, sir."

One by one, the agents in black suits stood up straight and saluted the man with his hands in his pockets.

Suddenly, the bushes at the edge of the woods rustled and made a slight noise, which caught Spandam's attention.

"Hey, you, go take a look!"

Spandam casually pointed to the agent beside him.

All that could be heard was the sound of stomping. A CP9 agent with a white ponytail carried back a young girl and threw her on the ground.

"You government bastards, the children are innocent!"

Dr. Crow D. Clover, with a gun pointed at him, saw Robin being captured, and his wide eyes became bloodshot.

A group of people broke through the CP9 guards, and Professor Clover stepped forward and hugged Robin in his arms, while the other scholars used their bodies to shield the two of them.

"Huh? Who cares about you? My mission is to not let any scholar escape!"

Spandam raised his eyebrows and revealed a sinister smile.

Just then, his Den Den Mushi rang, reporting the discovery of evidence that scholars were studying the historical texts.

"Sadd, scholars of Ohara, today you are doomed to die!"

Spandam, having confirmed the mission was complete, raised his hands forcefully to signal to the surrounding agents.

Upon receiving orders, the agents armed with guns loaded their weapons and aimed at the scholars.

"All that's left is to report to the Five Elders, and then..."

Just as the jubilant man reached for the Den Den Mushi in his pocket, the sword rang out and slashed at him across the vast distance!

"Nani?"

Despite his lack of strength, Spandam, being a former CP9 agent, still managed to twist his body with all his might.

The agents guarding him on either side noticed the attack and stood in front of him, shouting in unison, "Iron Block!"

"Gods, sir!"

Black thunder roared from the void, and a sword light that illuminated everyone's faces cried out, tearing a long, lingering crimson trail in the air.

Clang——!

The result of the two CP9 agents trying to withstand a swordsman's strike with their bare hands was obvious: a huge wound piercing their chests gushed blood, and the two collapsed to the ground with their eyes rolled back.

Sakura Haruno seized the opportunity to rush to Spandam's side, punched him, and snatched the golden Den Den Mushi from his arms.

Then, alternating between Shave and Moonwalk, Sakura appeared before the scholars in a blur of motion, tilting her head and giving them a peace sign.

"The Buster Call... has been successfully stopped!"

Spandam tumbled and fell, his mouth agape in shock, while the scholars and agents around him wore the same expression.

"Eh--?"

Chapter 40 Holy crap, ice?

Puff puff puff...

Just as everyone was staring at Sakura in surprise, Spandam's Den Den Mushi rang, and in his panic, he answered the receiver.

"Hey, Spandam, how's things going?"

"Sa...Satan Saint!"

Spandam had a long face, but he still held the Den Den Mushi in his hands as if it were a precious treasure.

"The evidence of the scholars' crimes has been obtained."

"But I'm very sorry, the Buster Call Den Den Mushi was stolen by pirates."

The man in the overcoat glared resentfully at Sakura Haruno, who was standing in the distance, and gritted his teeth as he reported to his superiors.

"You idiot, how could you cause such a mess!"

The Den Den Mushi's eyes widened suddenly; the crackling of the radio waves testified to the rage of the powerful figure on the other end of the line.

After a long silence, a serious voice came from the other side.

"We have already notified the Navy to activate the Buster Call. Leave the Den Den Mushi here and get your men off that island!"

Spandam stood up straight, saluted, put the Den Den Mushi on the ground, and quickly fled with his men.

Armored ships off the coast set off, their cannons turning to fire at Ohara.

boom! ! !

Amidst the deafening roar, the town suddenly trembled, and flames spread in all directions, advancing from the outside in, gradually turning the island into scorched earth.

Several shells struck the Tree of Omniscience, and flames engulfed the ancient library.

Ah, the library!

Anxious scholars rushed to the fire and used every means possible to carry water from a distant lake to extinguish it.

Sakura Haruno intended to knock them unconscious and forcibly take them away, but an old voice interrupted her.
