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

"Forget it, I haven't been able to find a ship that excites me since I got off Captain Roger's ship!"

Sakura tilted her head, her voice filled with sighs.

Doflamingo had a mouthful of sake stuck in his throat, unable to swallow or spit it out.

What does it mean to be thrilled? By your standards, even if you went to the New World, there wouldn't be many ships that would satisfy you!

Thinking of this, Doflamingo rolled his eyes openly under his sunglasses.

"Alright, let's not talk about me anymore. What about you? Are you still planning to become a Shichibukai?"

Thinking about Doflamingo's future actions, Sakura suddenly remembered someone whose behavior was extremely similar to his—Rocks D. Xebec.

"Want to know? I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Doflamingo's momentum was interrupted.

"Is there anything special about becoming the king of a constituent country that makes you, like that person forty years ago, choose to do anything to become the king of a country recognized by the government?"

Sakura's words revealed Doflamingo's entire plan, causing his heart to pound.

"How did you know... Oh right, you sailed with that Roger guy."

Doflamingo straightened up, his face grave.

"To be precise, I don't need member states, but rather a ticket to return to the Holy Land for refuge! A ticket to the next era!"

Without any attempt to conceal it, the man in front of Sakura revealed his ambition.

The ruthless pursuit of wealth, involvement in the arms industry, and the creation of wars are all driven by a simple and straightforward reason.

—At all costs, survive the impending catastrophe.

"Fufufufu, the era of rampage is about to arrive. People will fight for the last remaining space to survive. Slaughter, war, and conspiracy will be the main themes going forward, and the Holy Land will be the only refuge!"

"So, become my right arm, Sakura Haruno. With your power and my intelligence, we will surely seize the Void Throne in the next era and become gods!!!"

The man in front of me laughed wildly, his newly donned feather cloak flapping loudly in the sea breeze.

With outstretched arms, it seemed as if embracing the whole world, and the surging spirit stirred up an invisible domineering aura that soared into the sky.

"Too bad, I'm not interested in domination, Doflamingo!"

The girl was slender, but behind her seemed to be a figure in a red captain's coat, eyes open, surveying the world below.

Between the two, tiny black lightning crackled faintly.

From that moment on, they knew that there was no possibility of them uniting; the clash of their ideals and paths destined them to become enemies.

"What a pity..."

"Haha, don't worry about that, let's drink first!"

Chapter 94 Kid, what's your dream?

North Sea Avignon Island

"This is Beihai's most famous tourist city. Also, here's what I promised you!"

Doflamingo, standing on the ship's railing, threw down a purple cantaloupe with arabesque spiral patterns.

"This is the other fruit we left over from this raid. We suspect it's a Zoan-type, but we can't find any information about it in the fruit encyclopedia."

"In other words, being eaten by someone could lead to instant success or utter ruin?"

Sakura took the cantaloupe and examined the mysterious fruit.

"Fufufufu, who knows? Isn't someone like you the one who loves exploring the unknown?"

Doflamingo gave a meaningful smile and shook off the maid-dressed little girl who had wiped her snot and tears on his legs.

While there was the reason that the Weapon-Weapon Fruit found a suitable user, his choice to give Sakura this fruit was more out of his mischievousness.

Sakura Haruno, what will you choose? Will you find someone you can trust to gamble on the odds, or will you use human lives to test its abilities?

"Alright, then let's part ways here. We'll be enemies again next time we meet!"

“Fufufufu.…”

Doflamingo sneered and ordered his crew to start the ship.

Sakura unfolded her map and headed towards the town ahead, traveling in the opposite direction of Doflamingo's flamingo ship.

Beihai is very large, even much larger than the New World.

This sea area contains numerous islands and many cities, among which Avignon is the largest extinct volcanic island in the vicinity.

The unique geographical and hydrological environment has given rise to this peculiar country, which is full of volcanic mud baths and fishing. Although it is a non-member state of the world government, the people living here are by no means poor.

"It's said to be good for the skin, but I don't know if it's true..."

Sakura pulled out a nautical chart, the thickest one of which she had picked up from Shanks' ship, and it was filled with his own observations from his travels in the North Sea.

She raised her hand and pinched her face. Because of years of exposure to sea breezes and direct ultraviolet rays while adrift at sea, she was now a shade darker than when she left home.

"No, I must take good care of myself before going back, otherwise I won't know how to explain it when my mother asks!"

Silently clenching her fists, the girl pushed open the door of the health center.

As soon as she entered the store, the owner greeted her warmly, and his words immediately stunned Xiaoying.

"Welcome, please come in, sir."

"What kind of package would you like, customer? 4998, 6998, or 9998? Which price range suits you best? We're also giving away gifts when you sign up for a membership card now!"

What is this? Hair washing and membership card promotions have even come to another world?

"Mud bath, the most expensive, no membership card please!"

Sakura's cold and indifferent response effectively deterred the boss from all sales pitches.

Fifteen minutes later, Sakura, wrapped in a bath towel, comfortably immersed herself in the mud of just the right consistency.

Because the black mud was mined from a volcano, it still carries a slight warmth and sulfurous smell.

Sakura applied the mud to her face, leaned against the wooden planks of the bathtub, and comfortably closed her eyes.

A bath for a person with superpowers is a very special experience. Volcanic ash contains a large amount of PYROBROIN horn particles, which can render a person with superpowers powerless.

Just as I was wondering if I should find a way to break free from this feeling of powerlessness, I heard a noisy noise.

"Hey, Mr. Corazon, you idiot, how could this stuff possibly cure me!"

"Give it a try, maybe the spots on your skin will disappear in a little while."

Don't treat me like a child!

Not far from Sakura, a tall, blond man was leading a boy through the mud.

The boy, wrapped in volcanic mud, roared angrily at the man beside him.

The noise kept Sakura awake, and she angrily looked up.

"Kora! Be quiet in public!"

Hearing Sakura's reprimand, the man tapped the boy on the head and brought him over to apologize.

"I'm sorry, I've bothered you!"

Opening her emerald eyes, Sakura's gaze was immediately drawn to the white patches on the boy's skin.

The familiar combination, the familiar appearance, and most importantly, the fact that she had seen a similar case in Mr. Crocus's file before, made Sakura blurt out:

"Hey, you... is that amber lead disease?"

The girl's clear voice echoed, and the entire health center fell silent. Terrified gasps rose from all corners of the bathhouse.

Subsequently, the many tourists covered by the mud scrambled to their feet in panic and fled outwards on all fours.

"Weren't they all killed? Why are there still some left?"

"Remnants of the White Town? No way, I'm going to get infected!"

"Guard, quickly go and get the disinfectant and gas masks!"

"The government, contact them immediately to eliminate this source of infection!"

A moment later, the entire health center was empty, leaving only the silent man and the boy clenching his teeth.

"Yes, I have lead poisoning, what's wrong with me!"

With tears welling in his eyes and his whole body trembling, the boy angrily rushed up to Sakura.

"I'm going to infect you with this disease right now, see, see!"

The boy wiped the volcanic mud off Sakura's face, revealing a face that shocked the man behind him.

"Hey, Luo, stop right now!"

The man he called Corazon grabbed the boy's small, short hand and lifted him up.

"What are you doing, Mr. Corazon? Didn't you see her...?"

The boy struggled unwillingly in mid-air, swinging his fists and feet at Sakura Haruno in front of him like a young beast.

"Well, I'm really sorry to have revealed your illness. I'm sorry for causing you trouble!"

Amid Corazon's surprised gaze and Law's hostile stare, Sakura apologized to them.

"By the way, since you seem to know about this condition, can you cure it?"

Corazon, who clearly recognized Sakura's identity, spoke with polite language.

Luo, who had been struggling as he was being held, suddenly quieted down and buried the bag deep inside.

"Wait, how did you know I know medicine?"

Korazon's words surprised Sakura, as she hadn't revealed much of her medical skills at sea.

“It’s the Red-Haired Pirates. They spread information about your medical skills.” Corazon smiled gently and explained to Sakura, “One of our goals for this voyage is to find you.”

"That Shanks guy..."

Sakura's eyebrows twitched upon hearing this, and she crushed the marble edge of the bathtub.

"Please, this child has less than a year to live. Please have mercy on him!"

"No matter the cost, I'm willing to raise the funds, as long as... he can live!"

Completely disregarding his own dignity, this gentle man knelt before Sakura Haruno for the sake of a child who was unrelated to him.

"Live on, that's a powerful phrase."

Sakura completely ignored Corazon's pleas and stood up from the bath.

After rinsing off the volcanic mud with water, he walked up to Trafalgar Law, looked down at him, and said:

"Kid, tell me, what is your dream?"

Chapter 95 I Want to Live! (Bonus Chapter Thanks to Yu Xiaobai for the Donation)

For children who have lost loved ones and whose homeland has been shattered, dreams seem a little too precious.

"me..."

The boy bit his lip, unable to utter the words he had once wanted to use to vent his anger on the world.

In the shattered first half of his life, a ray of dawn appeared that he could not let go of no matter what.

"I want to live!"

Tears streamed down his face, and the boy's voice was distorted by sobs, but he still roared out the longing in his heart.

His desire to live, and the care he had received over the past few months, ultimately changed his heart and pulled him out of the darkness.

"Hahaha, that's it! This is the look a living person should have!"

Sakura laughed and slapped her thigh, very satisfied with the boy's transformation.

"So, you've agreed to treat this child?"

Understanding the meaning behind Sakura's words, Corazon, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly jumped up and shook her hand up and down.

"That being said, I am still a pirate, so I charge a fee~"
