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

Yesterday he was still a mangled, badly injured body, but after being bandaged up and sleeping for one night, he was all better.

Could it be that the bandages in my house have a magical healing effect?

"Thank you very much for your help this time, Mr. Wolf."

Having eaten and drunk her fill, Sakura began to remove her bandages. The skin underneath was incredibly smooth, without even a trace of a scar.

Sakura ruffled the boy's hair and praised, "Luo, your skills have improved!"

"hey-hey!"

Luo rubbed his nose, a hint of smugness in his laughter.

While Sakura and her companion were recuperating in Pleasure Town, the North Sea was deeply moved by her.

The World Economic News Agency reported the battle that took place on Haiyan Island to various places through a flurry of news birds.

To everyone's astonishment, the naval fleet led by Zephyr, a former admiral of the Navy Headquarters and a hero in popular opinion, was defeated by a single man in a direct battle.

"The navy actually failed?"

The people in the North Sea began to feel uneasy, as they would not see any elite battalions or naval cadets.

All they knew was that man who had once served as an admiral! He was once the World Government's strongest fighting force! Now he had been defeated by a pirate.

Mary Geoise, between powers.

The expensive solid wood table was covered with Sakura's information, from every battle record since she left Mermaid Island to her final duel with Zephyr on Seagull Island.

The world's most powerful figures are currently worrying about a mere pirate.

"She's gotten even stronger!"

Satan gripped his cane tightly, the long-vanished wound on his chest now causing phantom pain.

"If this continues, she will only become harder and harder to catch. Don't forget the orders given by that lord."

Izambalon V. Nassshuro tapped his forehead with two fingers, looking pained.

"Then what should we do? Increase her bounty?"

Shepard X. Pitt Saint stood with his arms crossed, leaning against the sofa.

“No, not all ants in the lower realm are fools. A bounty that is too high becomes meaningless. We need to keep her bounty at a level that arouses greed rather than fear! This will help us fulfill that person’s instructions.”

Marcus Mazsan shook his head, rejecting the other stars' ideas.

"In that case, let's increase her bounty and have the Navy cooperate with the CP to capture her!"

Topman Vochuli, who was in charge of handling judicial and CP matters, made the final decision.

"Agreed!" *4

The other four echoed this sentiment, and the meeting came to a close.

Along with the conference, new arrest warrants were also issued.

Chapter 105: Parting Ways with New Partners

One week later, on the southern coast of Haiyan Island.

Sakura, sitting in front of her fishing rod, flipped through a newspaper. The news on it made her exclaim in surprise: "Oh~, is Mr. Tom's Sea Train finished yet?"

"Who is that? What is the Sea Train?"

Luo, who was studying nearby, was interrupted by Sakura's exclamation and looked up.

"A mode of transportation that connects islands, breaking the current situation where people are trapped on isolated islands and can never communicate!"

Sakura put down the newspaper, raised the beer next to her chair, and gave a toast towards Water Seven.

"Hey, that sounds like a great person!"

Luo put away his medical books, moved closer to Xiaoying, and read the newspaper in her hand.

"Wait, isn't the front page headline your wanted poster, Sakura-nee?!"

You're not paying attention to this, but instead looking at other smaller sections?

Luo snatched the newspaper, his voice trembling with excitement. The sweat on his forehead was hard to tell whether it was from the heat or from the shock he felt at the numbers on the newspaper.

"So you're still a kid, huh? No pirate is immune to being wanted!"

Sakura grinned mischievously and pressed her ice-cold beer against Law's cheek.

The cold beer made Luo shiver, but he didn't bicker with Sakura as energetically as usual.

"This means Sakura-nee will have to leave again, right? There's nothing we can do about it; after all, pirates are meant to wander..."

Luo's tone was somewhat downcast.

During this period of time, he made many friends while living in Happy Town.

The generous and kind old inventor Wolf, the perpetually insecure polar bear Bepo, and two petty thugs, Pegkin and Shakky, whom he rescued and who then followed him...

The bond that had been formed without his knowledge had become something that Luo could not sever.

"If you don't want to leave, you can stay."

Sakura's casual remark caused Law's pupils to tremble violently.

"What are you talking about? Of course I'll go with Sakura-nee..."

Snapped!

The snap of fingers echoed, and Luo felt his mouth being stuffed with ice.

"You brat, I hate it when people restrict my freedom. If I become your constraint, then Corazon's sacrifice will have been in vain, and I will become the kind of person I hate the most!"

Sakura stood up, throwing her fishing rod behind her, and raised her hand to press down on Law's hat.

"Go ahead and choose your own life; you are free!"

The tall girl's figure shone in the light, passing by Luo's small body.

The sea breeze lifted Luo's hat, revealing that his face, which had been hidden by the brim, was now covered in tears.

In the afternoon, Sakura, carrying her dry rations, boarded the speedboat, followed by many people who came to see her off at the dock.

"Hehehe, Ms. Sakura, the thermal desalination equipment you asked me to modify is finished. By the way, is it really alright that there are so many damages to the hull?"

The old inventor Wolf leaned on his cane and combed his beard with his other hand.

"Ah, it's alright, my proud ship is still alive!"

Sakura grinned, placing one hand on the hull of the Leviathan as she channeled her Yang Release chakra.

The Yang Tree Eve, possessing life-like characteristics, quickly repaired the gap under the stimulation of Yang Release chakra, and was restored to its original state in just a few minutes.

"So cool!"

Bepo, the polar bear who had been hiding behind the group, had his eyes light up when he saw this scene.

But suddenly Bepo's expression changed, and he lowered his head: "I feel a little apologetic."

Why are you apologizing out of the blue?!

With their arms around each other and heads touching, Pegkin and Shakky each gave Bepo a nudge.

"The weather will be nice soon, it's time to set sail!"

By using the heat-generating fruit to release heat radiation, combined with Observation Haki to perceive the direction of the ocean's heat cycle in nature, one can deduce future climate changes.

This is an ability that Sakura developed after reorganizing the navigator's manual given to her by Uncle Jabba.

Sakura loaded the supplies onto the ship and headed towards the Leviathan.

"Sakura-neechan!"

Luo rushed past everyone to the front and gave Sakura a hug.

"Take good care of yourself at sea all by yourself. Remember to save money, don't get drunk all the time, fold your clothes neatly, don't leave your shoes lying around, take good care of your hair and skin, and your perfume too, a little bit feminine... Waaaaah..."

Before he could finish speaking, a fair hand grabbed Luo, who was still revealing his shortcomings.

She covered his mouth tightly.

"That's enough, that's enough, you've already confessed enough!"

They tied Luo up with ice blocks and threw him to the others, while Sakura hurriedly escaped onto the Leviathan.

Propelled by the flames bursting from the stern, the ship set sail.

Once the ship had completely disappeared from sight, the ice on Luo's body shattered with a crash.

As he stood up, he seemed to sense something, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a kunai engraved with a cherry blossom mark.

The gleaming tip of the kunai reflected the boy's radiant smile.

"Take care, Sakura-nee!"

.

.

"Ah chirp!"

Beneath the sea surface, Sakura, who was navigating underwater with the coating activated, sneezed.

In the dim depths of the sea, fog gradually spread across the Leviathan.

A small hand wearing a pink raincoat pulled a piece of paper from the table and handed it to Sakura.

"Oh, thank you, Luo."

Sakura subconsciously took the paper, wiped her nose, and then paused in surprise!

Wait, didn't Luo disembark?

Turning around abruptly, I saw a pink-haired little girl completely covered by a raincoat and wearing black rain boots.

She was tilting her head, her hands behind her back, and the shadow under her hood seemed to be staring at her.

"Hello~, Sakura-chan~"

The child's innocent voice reached Xiaoying's ears, bringing her a sense of languid fatigue.

With the fog on the ship, the child's figure appeared indistinctly.

"Are you... a deep-sea ghost?!"

The daring Sakura was very curious, so she reached out and poked the other party, and it actually had a physical form!

"No, I'm Leviathan!"

A long, drawn-out voice, soothing and drowsy, entered Sakura's ears.

Upon hearing the name Leviathan, a long-forgotten legend flashed into Sakura's mind: "Ship Spirit!!!"

Yes, that's right.

The soft, fluffy boat sprite leaped up and landed in Sakura's arms.

"But you're a new ship! The will I've placed in you shouldn't meet the requirements for the birth of a ship spirit!"

Suspicious, Sakura tried to pull the raincoat off the other person's head, but found that she couldn't.

"I don't know, but Sakura-chan's hands have a warm energy, and then... I can come out!"

He spoke for a long time, leaving Leviathan panting heavily.

She lay lazily in Xiaoying's arms, comfortably swinging her short legs.

Yang Release... Chakra!

Yin Dun creates form from nothingness, Yang Dun bestows life upon form!

Since setting sail, he has been too lazy to repair the ship and injected chakra into the Leviathan to let it grow and repair itself. Did this unexpectedly result in the birth of a ship spirit?

"Haha, that's so interesting! From today onwards, you're my new partner!"

Sakura nuzzled her head with her face and wrapped her arms around Leviathan.

"Wait a minute~, I've always been~ your~ partner~"
