Haruno lay in the crow's nest, looking at the horizon when he saw a ship with a black flag approaching the ship where he was. Then he used his portal to use one of his new abilities: [Sound Amplification]. He trained this ability to create sound waves strong enough to destroy a big tree! Then he shouted, and everyone in the ship could hear him: "There's a pirate ship approaching." The crew of the ship looked up and saw Haruno smiling and looking at one direction of the horizon. North. One guy grabbed his telescope and looked at the direction that Haruno was looking at and shouted: "Pirates! There are really pirates!"

Everyone began to panic. Shouting and sweating coldly. Then the captain shouted: "Shut up!" Everyone looked back at her and she said: "We always found pirates in our journeys! Why are you guys so scared!?" One of the crew, the one that used the telescope, looked at her and said: "Because, Captain... They are the Balck Squid pirates!" Even the captain became stunned. Then Haruno jumped off the bird's nest and looked at them and asked: "Who are those 'Black Squid'...? They have a high bounty?" The captain looked at Haruno and sighed, then she threw at him a paper ball.

Haruno grabbed it mid-air with his right hand and opened it. It was a bounty post. Black Squid Jury, the captain of the Black Squid Pirates... Then Haruno smiled because his bounty was ten million! Then he asked the captain: "There is something that I need to know about them?" The captain looked at him a little stunned but said: "At the moment, I just have this poster. But the total bounty of their crew is fifty million." Haruno smiled gently and nodded, then he opened a portal to Gaharudo's room and called him outside. When the crew saw a giant bird with yellow feathers with black details, they were stunned. Then Haruno pointed to the Black Squid Ship that was approaching at a high speed and said: "Kaboom!" At the same time, Gaharudo opened its mouth and a thunder felt literally on top of the ship.

Haruno smiled and then jumped to Gaharudo's back and flew toward the ship. Just then the crew of the merchant ship woke up from their dream and looked at the yellow bird that was flying towards the pirate ship. When the ship entered Haruno's Kenboshoku no Haki radar, he saw three little things flying toward him and Gaharudo. He then decided to try his new ability. "Portal Mirror." The portal mirror is like when Haruno opened an entrance portal and an exit portal to deflect the attacks but in just one portal! The portal deflected the three little things that returned to the pirate ship, killing two members of their crew. Well, Haruno was happy because of it too.

He jumped from Gaharudo's back and at the same time opened a portal to Gaharudo's room because he said that he wanted to continue training his Akuma no Mi. Well, Before landing, Haruno used [Telekinesis] and landed slowly. After he landed several pirates shot toward him, who just used one of his new abilities: "Portal Shield." Portal shield is when Haruno opens an entrance portal and an exit portal and fused them, they created a portal that could be used in three different ways. To protect, to attack and to support. Then a circle with blue color appeared mid-air and when the bullets hit the circle they simply stopped and fell in the ground.

Haruno decided to use one of his attack abilities: "Attack Portal: Portal Cut." The Attack: Portal Cut is when Haruno opens an entrance portal and an exit portal on top of others and make them cross it, then he closed the two portals. What was crossing the portal simply cut at the half, Haruno used this ability in all the pirates around him, cutting them into halves. Then a guy with a big sword appeared and shouted to Haruno: "Who are you!? Bastard!" Haruno smiled a devilish smile and answered him: "Who are you, you asked. Now I'm going to answer you. Pleased to meet you, my name is Haruno, and I... Am... The devil." With his last sentence, his red hair began to grow at a high speed, Haruno was going to use one of his AoE attack ability: "Hell Hair!" Hell Hair is when Haruno uses his skill [Senei-Kikan] to grow his hair and uses his soul skill [Soul Fire] to make it burn. Then he controls the hair to wrap around the enemy to burn him and kill it.

The red hair warped around his crewmates and the pirate himself, who tried to cut off the hair. But obviously, normal weapons couldn't cut off Haruno's hair! When the sword touched the hair, it made a noise of hitting an iron object and breaking completely. Then a door opened and another guy appeared, he had brown hair and an ugly face with several scars on it. Haruno used his [Soul Fire] skill in his hair and the hair began to burn the pirates, making them scream and groan with pain, after some minutes their bodies were completely black. The other members of the pirate ship were looking at Haruno like a prey looks at its predator, fear. A huge fear.

Some of them jumped off the ship to the water and others couldn't move. When they reached the water, they saw that blood was leaving their mouths and another part of their bodies. They were dead after some seconds. Haruno observed it with Kenboshoku no Haki and saw why they were dead, the captain of the ship was looking at Haruno with a smile in his face, like he finally found someone to fight with! He smiled and asked: "You know why I'm called Black Squid? Well, if you don't know... I will show you!" After saying it, his body began to change.

His skin color changed to black, his eyes turned red and his mouth expanded. Haruno smiled and said: "Zoan Fruit. Squid Squid no Mi (BlackSquid Model)."
