Tell Her

The tranquil atmosphere of Cherry Blossom Island was shattered in an instant.

Amidst the flames, cherry blossoms, tinged with melancholy, drifted down.

Cherry blossom trees fell one by one, accompanied by occasional explosions, sending dirt flying everywhere. The beautiful scene shattered in the blink of an eye.

The two groups stared at each other, one side gritting their teeth, their expressions grave.

"Fire, take Nana and leave!"

Protecting Hina behind her, Bai Doudou gripped the carrot dagger tightly in her hand, watching the people surrounding her warily.

"As a fellow Admiral, he betrayed justice and the navy; his crimes are unforgivable!"

Leading the group, dressed in Marine Admiral's coat, Sakazuki had a grim expression and stared intently at Bai Doudou and Hina.

"Dead Rabbit, you didn't expect this, did you? You've finally met your match. Your backer has fallen, let's see who can protect you now!"

Beside Sakazuki, Chaton and his gang, who had a grudge against Bai Doudou, wore sinister smiles, their eyes filled with arrogance and smugness as they looked at Bai Doudou.

Ignoring Chaton's sinister face, Bai Doudou simply instructed Huo to take Hina away. He wasn't stupid; facing such a powerful lineup, he had to stay behind to cover their retreat and ensure Hina's safe departure.

Most importantly, Strawberry still hasn't shown up, which made Bai Doudou's heart sink even further.

"Doudou"

Behind her, Hina, her belly protruding, held Bai Doudou's hand.

"I promised the boss I would protect you. I'm Sakura's master! Fire, take Hina and leave!"

Given the lineup present, if Bai Doudou stayed, she would surely die, because Sakazuki alone was a mountain that was difficult to climb, not to mention Chaton and others who were settling personal scores.

"Boss, you have to come back!"

With a roar, the fire grew slightly larger, and it hoisted Hina onto its back, taking off into the air in an attempt to escape.

"Doudou." Hina pursed her lips, her eyes slightly red.

"Protect Sakura well. If I don't make it back, be sure to tell her about her master, who is very handsome, dashing, and charming!"

Turning his head and smiling, Bai Doudou made up his mind. If he wanted to stop these people, he had to be prepared to risk his life and go all out.

"Trying to leave?"

Within the naval camp, Chaton disappeared and reappeared in front of Hoshin, unleashing a powerful Armament Haki right from the start.

"Sizzle roar"

However, at that moment, a blur of afterimages and flashes of lightning appeared, and a ferocious roar of a beast stirred up a storm, blocking Chaton's path. With a punch, the atmosphere shattered, and a howling wind arose.

The earth cracked open, and rocks rained down. Chaton lay in the crater, spitting blood, looking utterly incredulous.

With a fierce and overwhelming aura, Bai Doudou's appearance changed drastically. Her entire body instantly grew taller, her ears curved, her silver-white hair grew vertically to her lower back, her tail swelled up, and her eyes, like the vertical pupils of a snake, were blood red. Lightning surrounded her entire body.

Irritable and violent, Bai Doudou now seemed to have transformed from a vegetarian into a carnivore, displaying extreme savagery.

"Leave!"

Even his voice became extremely hoarse, giving off a bloodthirsty feeling, and sending a chill down your spine!

"Stop this dragon, life or death!"

Lava began to emanate from his body, and Sakazuki's face was frosty.

"Yes!"

Chaton got up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and together with the other marines, they used Geppo to rush towards the fire.

"No one can get past me." Turning into a blur, Bai Doudou hissed hoarsely, her face contorted in a ferocious grimace.

In an instant, they clashed. Bai Doudou, like a wild beast, gripped Seastone dagger, delivering a brutal and deadly blow. One after another, major Rear Admiral began to fall.

Thanks to Bai Doudou's intervention, the fire successfully flew away into the distance.

But before long, a magma Meteorite suddenly rose from the ground, causing the fire to roar and open its mouth, releasing a dense power. A huge fireball collided with the magma.

"His father is a traitor, and he'll be a heartless ingrate from birth. Keep him alive!"

Sakazuki soared into the air, his face contorted with rage. A torrent of magma erupted from his hands, slamming into Fire's wings. With a crack, even Fire's incredibly tough and defensive physique couldn't withstand the attack. Fire let out a mournful howl as its massive body plummeted towards the ground like a meteor.

"Fire, are you alright?!"

Even as she fell to the ground, the fire protected Hina.

"Queen, you must leave quickly! I'll hold him off!"

With its wings broken, Fire rose to its feet, blood dripping from its mouth, and roared as it charged at Sakazuki, its sharp teeth snapping down.

With tears in her eyes, Hina touched her belly, turned away resolutely, and ran into the distance. No matter what, she had to protect her child.

"Doudou Fire"

Hina ran desperately, not returning to the fight. She remained rational, her only thought being to protect her child.

Perhaps due to the strenuous exercise, Hina gradually began to feel abdominal pain, and her face slowly turned pale.

"Boom"

Just then, the ground exploded, and scalding lava shot out. The enormous impact sent Hina flying.

As she flew backward, Hina clutched her stomach tightly with both hands, letting her back hit the ground before getting up and continuing her escape.

Tina's right cheek was in excruciating pain; it was clear that the lava's aftershocks had struck it, causing Hina's disfigurement.

"Sakura, you have a wonderful father, and your mother will definitely give birth to you!"

The pain on her face didn't make Hina feel any pain; at this moment, her heart was only for the child in her womb, her child.

"Roar"

Behind him, accompanied by a weak roar, Fire was far too weak against Sakazuki. He could only withstand a few blows before collapsing to the ground, barely alive.

Traitors deserve to die.

The chilling voice made Hina's expression change drastically. Her body vanished from its original spot and reappeared ten meters away. The next moment, the ground exploded, and a Magma Fist slammed into the ground, pushing Hina away again.

Hina held the baby tightly with both hands, but after being hit several times and having just had her stomach shaved, the pain in her abdomen was getting worse.

"You bastard, die!"

Just as Sakazuki was about to grab Hina, a ferocious aura filled the air, and Bai Doudou, holding a dagger, slashed towards Sakazuki's face.

For some reason, Sakazuki sensed danger and immediately transformed into his elemental form. However, it was still a little short. Accompanied by blood, Sakazuki condensed his body in the distance, touched the blood on his face, and his face instantly twisted in pain.

A wound appeared on Sakazuki's face.

At this moment, Bai Doudou gripped the dagger, panting heavily, her body covered in blood; her once symmetrical ears were now missing, and a horizontal scar ran across her left eye, blurring her face.

His body bore large wounds, some so deep that the bone was visible.

Clearly, facing the combined attack from Chaton and the others, Bai Doudou broke through the encirclement with her own strength, solely to protect Hina.

"Nana, stand up! You must live for Sakura's sake!"

Covered in blood, Bai Doudou didn't even turn her head.

Tears streamed down Doudou's cheeks. Hina gritted her teeth, looking at Bai Doudou's pitiful state, before getting up again and running away.
