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

The darkness in the surrounding space slowly receded, and long-lost light shone down from the sky, illuminating Sakura's face.

After finally seeing Sakura's face clearly, the blue-haired woman's pupils trembled slightly.

"Oh my, this face... look closely, isn't this the guy the Five Elders personally ordered to be captured alive?"

The woman, like a large cat that has caught its prey, with a playful curiosity as she slowly brought her golden eyes closer to Sakura.

"Hey, can you tell me why the Five Elders would bother with a lowly commoner like you?"

"You...you...bastard!!!"

It was as if a black hole appeared in Sakura's consciousness, igniting all pain, sorrow, hatred, and anger...

Then, a high-pitched roar suddenly erupted from the storm and shockwave, and the aura of a hegemon swept through the dark thunder, shaking everything in the mortal world.

Heaven and earth, all things, the world, all fell silent.

"This is... Conqueror's Haki?! Ugh!"

Overwhelmed by the powerful will, the blue-haired woman's long hair cascaded upwards, and she was propelled by the impact, crashing into the chess pieces in the distance.

"Tie Baa!"

Sakura rolled up her sleeves, and two giant storm swords appeared in her hands at the same time, her Armament Haki surging wildly.

Just as she was about to offer that woman a taste of dominance, her clothes were tugged from behind again.

With the expansion of Observation Haki, the presence of the white rabbit was sensed.

At this moment, the other person's face showed human-like anxiety as they frantically shook their head at Sakura.

"Rabbit, this is the second time you've stopped my fight today. If you don't give me a reason, I'll beat you up too!"

The rabbit, whose collar had been grabbed by Sakura, covered its face with its arms and then kicked its leg on the ground.

A crater large enough to engulf both of them opened up beneath Sakura's feet, and a powerful suction force emanated from it.

In the instant of Sakura's astonishment, she was sucked into the pit, and an angry roar echoed continuously:

"Damn it, that darn rabbit—!"

Chapter 110 A Kingdom Existing in Dreams (Bonus Chapter Thanks to Kitahara for the Donation)

"It hurts!"

Sakura, who fell out of the hole, landed on solid ground.

The surrounding area resembled a village, with numerous shacks haphazardly erected. A bonfire burned not far away, barely providing any light to the pitch-black place.

"You damn rabbit, what exactly are you trying to do?!"

This time, before the rabbit could escape, Sakura, who had gotten up first, had already clamped the rabbit's head down with her Armament Haki-infused hands.

"Let go! Let go of me! Is this how you treat the person who saved you twice?!"

The rabbit, whose head was grabbed, punched and kicked Sakura, but because its limbs were too short, it could only dangle in the air.

"You little brat, you can talk after all? Then why were you pretending to be so profound just now?"

Sakura reached out her other hand and forcefully pulled on the rabbit's cheek, stretching his left cheek long.

"Idiot! It's common sense that you can't speak freely in the Formless Realm, isn't it?"

"Who would know such common sense!"

The two heads were touching, each showing its shark teeth, and they roared at each other.

"Ahem, etiquette, Prince Helmod!"

The white cat, carried up by a group of small animals, coughed twice and, supported by the other animals, came to Sakura Haruno and the white rabbit with the help of a cane.

"But teacher, she just tried to attack in the world of music..."

The white rabbit, who was called a prince, was full of resentment and was about to complain to the white cat.

"Alright, Helmod, you're not allowed to say their names here!"

The cane slammed heavily on the ground, creating a huge shockwave that interrupted Helmod's words.

The large white cat panted a few times and waved to the smaller animals nearby to bring over tables and chairs.

"Please have a seat, Lady Sakura."

He took some freshly boiled water from near the campfire, poured a cup of it with graceful movements, and pushed it to Sakura's table.

"I'm sorry, the conditions are basic, and we don't have anything good to offer you."

Sakura didn't mind, took the hot water and drank a sip to dispel the fatigue from the battle on the upper two floors.

"I have so many questions. First, tell me what's going on with this island!"

After gathering her thoughts, Sakura

"Sigh, let me tell you slowly." The white cat looked at its reflection in the water and sighed softly, "Do you know the country of El Shah?"

"No, I've never heard of it." Sakura shook her head.

After all, it's the westernmost route of the Grand Line, not the same route Roger took back then, so she didn't know much about it.

"That's true. After all, they did such terrible things to us, so naturally the World Government would want to erase our existence." The white cat gave a mocking smile.

Then, it clenched its paws on the table and gritted its teeth, saying, "This Sun Island, a non-member state, El Shah, is where those unspeakable people held a hunting competition three years ago!"

"what?"

Sakura's eyes widened, and she gasped slightly.

"History, language, records... everything about this country has been erased by them!"

The white cat's face was contorted with rage, and its tearful eyes seemed to reflect the ever-burning kingdom.

"The people who still have any sense are all here now, barely surviving in this dreamlike realm thanks to the prince's abilities."

"So we're dreaming right now? And it's in the sky... um!"

Before Sakura could finish speaking, a rabbit's paw and a cat's paw simultaneously covered her mouth.

"Foolish pirate, didn't I tell you not to call them by name? They'll find out!"

The white rabbit's fur stood on end, and its angry, triangular eyes were bloodshot.

"Hmph, Lady Sakura, we can't just call them by their titles here."

The white cat breathed a sigh of relief when it saw that it had successfully stopped Sakura.

Then, he drank some hot water to moisten his throat and continued to introduce the product to Xiaoying.

"The uppermost level is their dwelling place, the Formless Realm; the middle level is where they hunt us for amusement, the Realm of Transformation; and the lowest level is where they use to discard their waste, the Demon Realm!"

"This triple-layered world is what our homeland looks like now."

As the white cat explained, the current state of the island gradually became clearer.

Sakura, who was at the bottom, looked up and could just see what the other two worlds looked like.

The White Desolate Land is a place of illusory chaos, where a giant wall separates the abode of the gods. Illusory beasts roam the jungle, each exuding a fierce fighting spirit, guarding the pure white holy land.

Debris drifts through the thick fog, desires reside in the void, black and white rotate, angels roam, above is the sun's radiance, below are the remnants of civilization, the hollow opening devours all dreams, and beneath that tranquility lies the malice of the Creator's descendants.

This is the kingdom that exists only in dreams—Elshah!

"Was this done by someone with superpowers? But how did they manage to achieve such a range and duration?"

Sakura crossed her arms, resolving some of her questions, but more questions arose in their wake.

Shaking her head to put those thoughts behind her, Sakura turned her gaze back to the animals.

"By the way, I brought two companions with me when I came here. We came in to find the companion who sent out the distress signal. Do you know where they are?"

Hearing her words, the white cat shook its head with a sigh.

"To be honest, this is the first time we've ever seen a soul like Lady Sakura that can maintain a human form in a dream."

"No outsiders have come to the Demon Realm recently. If your companions have indeed entered, they can only be in that place!"

Sakura frowned: "That place?"

Ten minutes later, the white rabbit led Sakura to a huge pit.

Below, there was a mountain of white garbage, which even emitted an indescribable odor.

"This is the final stop in the wilderness. The people of the upper realm throw away the trash they don't want here."

White Rabbit pushed up her single-lens glasses, her gaze towards Sakura filled with amusement.

"Thanks to it, we can access a lot of information from the outside world. You can go down and take a look; maybe your companions are down there."

Looking down at the churning garbage pit, Sakura waved her hand and turned to leave: "No, I think we should just let them fend for themselves."

"Give up so quickly! At least pretend for a little longer! Cold-hearted woman!"

The white rabbit's eyes bulged out, and it chased after Sakura, roaring at her with its shark teeth.

"As long as we know they're not still alive, we don't necessarily have to find them."

"Once we defeat the ability users and restore everything, we'll naturally be able to see them again, right?"

Sakura pulled her hand out of her trench coat pocket, lowered her cowboy hat, and gave Hakuto a wanton smile as she turned to the side.

"Wait, you want to fight all the way to the heavens...?"

Surprised, the white rabbit almost forgot the silencing rule, and quickly covered her mouth with her hand after realizing what she had done.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Sakura stretched and, as she lowered her hand, casually played with the rabbit's ears with her fingers.

"Of course they are! You fool, who do you think they are? They are the descendants of the Creator! To touch them is to make an enemy of the entire world!"

White Rabbit shook off Sakura's hand, veins bulging on her head, her breathing becoming increasingly heavy.

"so what?"

With her hands casually behind her back, Sakura tilted her head at him.

"What's wrong with you, woman? Don't you care at all about going against the world?"

The white rabbit was getting a little frantic. It raised its hands to press its head down, and its mouth opened wide.

"Isn't that perfect? ​​We can finally clash with those who rule the world!"

The girl grinned, revealing a wild and untamed smile.

Chapter 111 Hell Beneath the Beauty

Back at camp, the rabbit became somewhat sullen, the pressure making it hard for him to breathe.

He recalled Sakura's attitude and the words she said at the desolate terminal.

"Rebel against the world... can we really do it?"

The boy with the white rabbit voice questioned himself, his eyes filled with confusion.

Ultimately, the weight of the kingdom's future on his shoulders was far too heavy for a child not yet thirteen years old.

Finding a tall shed to sit down, the white rabbit gazed at the settlement before it.

People who had transformed into various animals walked around the stalls, and there were also vendors selling leftovers from garbage dumps.

There are probably several thousand people in the population who still retain their senses. Although they cannot die while existing in the dream world, they still experience hunger and pain.

They have all the experiences of being human, yet they are trapped in the bodies of animals.

"mom!"

A child's voice rang out, and two white squirrels, on all fours, ran quickly and enthusiastically pounced on a squirrel that was walking upright.

Two baby squirrels were chasing and playing around their mother, which should have been a warm and harmonious scene.

But this scene sent chills down White Rabbit Helmod's spine.

"Those two children probably entered the dream world not long after they were born, and they've probably almost forgotten how to be human by now."

The white cat, leaning on its cane, climbed onto the roof of the shed and slowly walked to the white rabbit's side.
