XX-level Hokage

Mashiro likes Nami for everything, from her looks and figure to her personality. And judging by Nami's current level of approval of her, she...

If you want to, you can win Nami over very quickly.

But Mashiro didn't seem to have decided yet whether she wanted to develop feelings for the people of this world. After entrusting Nami to Mashiro, Nojiko turned and left.

"Stop hiding." Mashiro suddenly said after Nojiko left. Nami quietly walked out from behind a coconut tree nearby.

Nami walked over to Mashiro, sat down on the ground, and leaned her head against Mashiro's lap, looking somewhat forlorn.

"What's wrong? Are you reluctant to part with her?" Mashiro stroked Nami's hair and asked softly. Nami shook her head.

No, it's not because of that.

Then he suddenly asked, "Mashiro, do you know what a surveyor's duties are?" Mashiro shook his head slightly.

"The surveyor's duty is to draw nautical charts, because they usually exist as navigators for pirates or cartographers for the navy, but I don't want to be a pirate or a navy officer."

"But as an ordinary citizen, if you want to sail safely and explore these four oceans, you have to become a pirate or a member of the navy," Nami said somewhat dejectedly.

"Isn't there me? If all else fails, becoming a pirate hunter would be pretty good too," Masahiro said softly.

Upon hearing this, Nami suddenly laughed, then shook her head and said, "Hmph, I know, you probably prefer to be alone. Even if you force me to come along, I think I'll only get in the way."

Upon hearing Nami's words, Mashiro was suddenly stunned; she hadn't expected Nami to have thought of that.

I've also wondered about pirates and the navy. Pirates commit all sorts of evil deeds, and the navy neglects its duties. Under such circumstances, why does the world maintain peace, and why are there still so many people eager to become pirates and navy personnel?

"But now, I think I understand." Mashiro suddenly said, somewhat seriously. Nami looked at Mashiro, waiting for her answer.

"Because in this world, whether it's pirates or the navy, there are two types: good pirates and bad pirates, good navy and bad navy."

Good pirates set out to explore the seas, search for ONE PIECE, and even protect civilians, just like Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors of the New World.

Like a son, it is rumored that he protected many islands.

Bad pirates go to sea for wealth and indulgence. They commit all sorts of evil deeds, such as burning, killing, and robbing. Just like Arlong, who harmed the entire village of Cocoyasi for his own selfish interests.

Good naval forces defend against bad pirates and criminals, sacrificing themselves for the sake of justice.

Bad marines will collude with evildoers, abandoning justice for wealth and status. So don't despise pirates or the navy, nor admire them.

"You have to see for yourself, feel for yourself. Sometimes an identity is just a profession; what's most important is their heart," Mashiro said calmly. She knew Nami's current state of mind; because of Arlong and Colonel Rat, she feared pirates and loathed the Navy.

But her dream compels her to deal with both sides. So she is conflicted and disappointed.

“I understand. I will find a place I’m willing to join,” Nami suddenly said with a smile.

"That's good." She wasn't surprised by Nami's choice; Nami had always been a smart and strong person.

"When I'm strong enough, then I'll choose to stand by your side," Nami continued, her smile sly yet her tone resolute.

"Well, I'll be staying in this area for the next few days, so you can try your best to earn your 100 million Berries." Mashiro chuckled and pinched Nami's cheek.

“Speaking of which, Master, quickly issue the mission, now, immediately.” Nami became excited at the mention of Beryl, shaking Mashiro’s arm as she spoke.

"Since that's the case," Shiro suddenly lowered her body. Their lips touched.

Nami's eyes widened instantly.

Chapter Thirteen: The Gentle Wind

Nami's lips were warm, with a faint scent of oranges.

After a long while, their lips parted.

Shinji reached out and supported Nami's somewhat limp body.

Nami looked a little dazed, as if she hadn't quite figured out what was going on.

A sea breeze blew by, and Nami snapped back to reality. She then took a step back, her face flushing a light pink. "You, you, are so fair-skinned, this..." Nami touched her face, feeling both confused and puzzled.

"Kiss, 50 Berries. Because you called my name, a fine of 10 Berries, leaving 40 Berries." With that, Mashiro waved her hands, and banknotes fluttered down.

As the banknotes fluttered down, Nami immediately reached out and grabbed them, but her expression remained somewhat bewildered, as if she was still pondering what Mashiro meant.

"Judging from your expression, you don't seem to want this money. What a pity." With that, Mashiro was about to take the money back.

"Yes, of course I want it, but this is my first kiss, so I'll have to add another 10 Berries." Upon hearing this, Nami instantly snapped out of her daze and hurriedly put all the banknotes...

He held her in his arms, then looked at Mashiro and said righteously.

Mashiro didn't try to explain, and 20 banknotes fell to the ground.

After putting all the banknotes away, Nami hesitated before looking at Makoto and whispered, "Master, you...you don't have feelings for me, do you?"

Similar to the world before, the people in this world are also very precocious. So Nami had a vague longing for romantic love when she was a teenager. However, because of the Arlong Pirates, she was forced to embark on a thorny path, and her budding feelings for love were eventually buried deep in her heart.

"What's wrong? Is it not okay?" Mashiro asked gently and calmly.

"Well, but, we're both..." Nami hesitated, trying to say something, but a cool sea breeze blew her words away. The sea breeze carried the unique saltiness of the sea and the scent of orange trees from Cocoyasi Village, causing Nami to squint slightly. But when Nami opened her eyes, she saw Mashiro before her, someone different from the Mashiro she remembered.

The sea breeze ruffled Mashiro's dress and hair. Mashiro covered her hair with one hand and her dress with the other, her eyes showing a hint of embarrassment.

How beautiful! Nami felt a strange flutter in her heart upon seeing this. How strange, why am I suddenly so happy? Could it be...?

[Nami's approval rating +5]

Mashiro silently observed Nami's reaction.

"Rank B Ninjutsu: Gentle Wind" [Name: Nami]

Gender: Female Age: 18

Affiliation: None; Three-color Haki: None; Height: 170cm

Measurements: 98/58/88cm (J cup)

Luck value: 95 Approval level: 85

Is it due to the difference between recognition and favorability? Or is it because of the differences between people in the two worlds? This growth rate seems a bit too fast. In a sense, Mashiro's guess is correct; recognition is composed of two parts: 60 favorability and 40 belief value.

Regardless of how the two are combined, the final sum is the level of recognition. For example, Nami's level of recognition is 85, which is 60 points of affection plus 25 points of ideals.

The system display for system 086 shows a maximum favorability rating of 60.

Besides the system display, the differences between the people in the two worlds are also part of the reason.

Women in the world of One Piece are generally more passionate and outspoken, while women in the world of Naruto tend to be more traditional and have more sensitive minds.

Sensibility and delicacy.

"What were you saying?" Mashiro asked, getting up and gently stroking Nami's face, seemingly puzzled. "Nothing, nothing," Nami replied, shaking her head.

"Since Nami doesn't mind, how about another kiss? This time you don't have to be so distracted," Mashiro said softly. Hearing this, Nami's reason told her to refuse, but for some reason, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Finally, their lips met again. This time, the touch lasted longer.

Nami could clearly feel that strange, intertwined sensation. Her heart was beating faster and faster.

How strange, how strange, I feel like I'm starting to become strange...

As Nami's consciousness was immersed in the wonderful feeling of the kiss, Mashiro's hands also subtly began to move.

Nami's body is not only very soft, but also very elastic, and it feels very comfortable to touch.

As Mashiro's hand continued to move upwards, Nami's body trembled slightly, as if she were extremely nervous.

But just as Nami was getting ready, Mashiro quietly stopped what she was doing. Then their lips parted.

Nami lay in Mashiro's arms, breathing heavily, her face flushed.

Looking at Nami, who was in her arms looking bewildered and somewhat confused, Mana said softly, "I don't have the habit of being outdoors."

Before Nami could understand Mashiro's meaning, Mashiro leaned close to Nami's ear and whispered, "Tonight, come to my room, we can do something more interesting."

After saying that, Mashiro placed Nami on the wooden chair, then turned and walked into the village. Night fell.

In front of the house the villagers had specially arranged for Mashiro, Nami hesitated and felt shy before knocking on the door.

"I thought Nami-chan wouldn't choose to come?" Mashiro said with a light laugh.

“This is a chance to earn a lot of Berries, how could I not come?” Nami said, trying to appear calm. “Then…” As she spoke, Mashiro took off her socks.

Mashiro took off her right shoe and sock, revealing her flawless, jade-like foot, and licked it.

At that moment, the tail of desire unknowingly stretched out, and a refreshing, faint fragrance began to spread. Nami hesitated for a moment, but soon lowered her head gently.

"Celestial Dragons? Do such beings even exist? World Nobles, wielding power over the entire world without ever having to do any work." Mashiro muttered to himself as he read the description of Mary Geoise in the book.

However, there still seems to be no information about the location of the Poneglyphs. That makes sense; according to the book, the World Government seems particularly concerned about the lost century in history, even going so far as to destroy Ohara, which was researching the Poneglyphs, by launching a Buster Call. Anyway, let's explore along the Grand Line first.

"I remember there's a country in the East China Sea called Alabasta, one of the world's few superpowers. We could go there and gather some information," Mashiro said softly.

What Mashiro is seeing now was originally brought by Nami's adoptive mother, Bellemere, when she retired from the Navy. Just then, Mashiro's fishing hook started to twitch.

"Has a fish taken the bait?" Mashiro pulled hard on the hook. It was heavy; it looked like a big fish.

Just as Mashiro was about to exert force, the surface of the water suddenly began to tremble.

Immediately afterwards, a huge sea fish leaped out of the water, casting a massive shadow over Shiro.

"Is this a Sea King? It's truly magnificent. I remember that the Two-Tailed Beast was only about 50 meters long, but this fish is already 30 meters long. I wonder how strong it is," Mashiro said softly.

The sea king roared and instantly lunged at Mashiro. "Then let's try it, scatter, Senbonzakura."

In an instant, countless tiny pink blades spread out, resembling scattered cherry blossoms under the sunlight. These "cherry blossoms" enveloped the sea king, blood splattering everywhere, and the sea king let out a mournful roar.

A moment later, a pile of minced meat fell onto the water's surface, leaving only a giant fish skeleton of the sea monster. "Cherry blossoms" began to condense, and a pink katana landed in Mashiro's hand.

Looking at the katana in her hand, Mashiro sighed softly and said, "It's still a huge loss after all."

While undeniably beautiful and cool, this knife has significant drawbacks. Its fragmented blades can only inflict small, thin wounds. Although capable of dealing considerable damage, they don't cause profuse bleeding, and the chance of striking vital points is low, making its offensive power somewhat insufficient. It's manageable against this sea fish, but against opponents with thick skin or extremely strong defenses, the knife's effectiveness is severely limited.

Therefore, exchanging this sword for the Shadow Legion would be a huge loss for Mashiro.

Chapter Fourteen: Loguetown

After staying in Cocoyasi Village for another two days, Mashiro prepared to set off for Alabasta. She knew too little about the Poneglyphs and desperately needed to find one to confirm.

Upon arriving at the port, Nami reluctantly bid farewell to Mashiro, her most sudden emotion being the youthful love of a young girl.

“Mashiro, I will become stronger, and then I will come to your side,” Nami said firmly. Mashiro smiled and handed Nami five scrolls the size of her palm.

“If you encounter an enemy you can’t defeat, open these scrolls in sequence: yellow, brown, white, black. If that still doesn’t work, open the blue scroll,” Mashiro said gently.

These scrolls are ninjutsu scrolls created by Mashiro using sealing techniques based on scientific ninja tools.

The yellow scroll seals "Melting Release: Cataclysm," the brown scroll seals "Melting Release: Funeral," the white scroll seals "Ultimate Release: Shiranui," and the black scroll seals "Amaterasu."
