XX-level Hokage

A massive slash appeared on the sea surface, stretching ever longer, seemingly about to cleave the entire ocean in two. Upon seeing this, Vivi's eyes widened in shock, then hardened with determination.

"Do you want me to help you save the country?" Mashiro asked softly, looking at Vivi's expression.

She didn't even need to guess; under the intervention of Masashiro's illusion, Vivi's trembling was extremely obvious.

"This is my request, and it is also the request of the entire Kingdom of Alabasta. If it can be accomplished, the kingdom will grant you any conditions you propose, and I am willing to give everything for it," Vivi said with unwavering determination.

She didn't know why, but at that moment, she trusted the girl in front of her completely.

Mashiro glanced at Weiwei's entire body and said softly, "Come and talk to me after you change your clothes."

Just as Vivi was puzzled, an island appeared in front of her.

The island is covered in yellow sand, and what's most unique is that many giant fairy trees grow on it.

Chapter Nineteen: The Princess's Journey to Reclaim Her Kingdom (Part Two)

"We've arrived," Mashiro said softly.

Upon hearing this, Weiwei silently walked towards the helm, preparing to dock. As the ship approached the shore, many figures began to emerge.

“There seem to be a lot of people in Siping,” Tashigi said, somewhat puzzled. Mr. 9 tensed up at this, while Vivi remained silent.

Just as the ship docked in the harbor, a burst of cheers suddenly rang out.

"Welcome to the Grand Line! Welcome to our town!"

Welcome to the hospitable Whisky Peak!

"Pirates, welcome!" "Long live the heroes of the sea!"

"It's strange that pirates are receiving such a warm welcome," Tashigi said, looking at the enthusiastic crowds on both sides of the river, somewhat disappointed. Amid cheers, the group disembarked.

"Hello everyone, my name is Icarus, and I am currently the mayor of Whiskey Peak." After the group disembarked, a middle-aged man with curly hair approached them and said enthusiastically.

"Hello, my name is Tashigi, and this is... my colleague, Mashiro." Since Mashiro didn't say anything, Tashigi introduced herself.

"Welcome to Whisky Hill, a town famous for its brewing and music. We are most proud to host our guests. We have as many fine spirits as the ocean, which we are very proud of. Let's enjoy the feast together, with your adventures so far as our appetizers," Icarus said with a smile, and then he sang a song.

“We appreciate your kindness, but we are not…” Tashigi was about to explain when Mashiro interrupted her. “Then we shall accept your offer, Mayor.” Mashiro said with a light laugh, glancing at Vivi before leading Tashigi and the crowd to the banquet hall.

After the two left, Icarus approached Mr. 9 and Vivi and asked, "They don't seem to be pirates, do they? And what's their bounty information? Why did you two bring them here?"

"Honey, although they're not pirates, one of them is a rare Logia-type Devil Fruit user. If we can capture her, whether we hand her over to the president or sell her, we'll get an extremely generous reward," Mr. 9 explained.

"I see, I understand." Then, Icarus glanced at Vivi, who gave him a look before turning and leaving.

"I'm not feeling well, I'll find a place to rest for a while."

The banquet lasted until evening, with the townspeople singing and dancing with boundless enthusiasm, and a continuous stream of fine wine and food being served.

Mashiro also drank alcohol for the first time here. Unlike the alcohol in her original world, the alcohol in this world generally had a higher alcohol content, so her face turned slightly red after only drinking a little.

Tashigi, who is not good at refusing other people's enthusiasm, was forced to drink a lot of alcohol and was already quite drunk.

Emboldened by the alcohol, Tashigi leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Mashiro, why did you agree to stay here for the banquet? I thought you'd refuse outright, given your personality."

"A small town on the Grand Line, incredibly welcoming to pirates, sparing no expense in entertaining them, what do you think they're after?" Mashiro smiled and whispered in Tashigi's ear.

"You mean? There's something wrong with this town?!" Tashigi instantly sobered up and said in surprise. "Don't worry, you can continue playing. With me here, nothing will happen," Mashiro said with a light laugh.

Upon hearing this, Tashigi inexplicably relaxed and continued to enjoy herself at the banquet. Before she knew it, it was late at night.

As the banquet ended, Mashiro and Tashigi were both drunk and checked into the temporary accommodations arranged for them by the town. So a little while later, Icarus walked over to their temporary accommodations.

"Finally asleep? Sweet dreams, adventurers. You know, even the cacti dancing in the moonlight tonight are beautiful," Icarus whispered.

“You’re just like a poet, Ikem, no, Mr. 8.” Mr. 9 and Vivi also arrived, and Mr. 9 said with a smile.

“It’s you.” Icarus seemed to have expected their arrival. “Where are they?” Vivi asked softly.

“They’ve all fallen, fallen into hell,” Icarum said coldly.

Just then, a nun came out; Mashiro and Tashigi were staying at her house temporarily.

"Honestly, one of them only drinks beverages, and the other can't get drunk at all, so I mixed something else into their drinks. But really, was it necessary to put on such a complicated show? They're just two skinny girls. We could have just crushed them at the port. Besides, our town is still struggling to find food, yet we have to set aside so much to entertain them." The nun said, taking off her nun's habit to reveal her muscular physique, and expressed her dissatisfaction.

"Calm down. If what Mr. 9 said is true, and that white-eyed guy is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, then all of this is worthwhile. Judging a pirate's strength based on appearance alone is foolish, Mr. Monday," Icarus said.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Monday scratched his head and said somewhat apologetically, "I understand."

"Never mind, the matter is resolved. Now it's time to discuss their fate. Let's report to the president first," Icarus continued.

Just then, a vulture wearing goggles and a sea otter wearing a coat jumped out. "You're all here. What a nice night," a woman's voice followed.

"Honestly, they assigned us such a boring job, and then specially sent us to this kind of front line, ugh!" followed by a somewhat dissatisfied male voice.

Then, with a "whoosh," a man with an afro and a trench coat, and a blonde woman carrying an umbrella, walked over. "Mr. 5! Mr. Valentine! What are you two doing here?" Icarus exclaimed in surprise.

Not only Icarus, but Mr. 9, Mr. Monday, and Vivi were all incredibly surprised. "We're here on a mission," Mr. 5 said impatiently.

"A mission? What kind of mission requires both of you to come here in person?" Mr. 9 asked suspiciously. Weiwei, on the other hand, had a vague sense of foreboding.

"Because there's a sinner here, the president specifically asked us to come here." Mr. 5 stepped forward and replied.

"Honestly, this sinner is so annoying, making us come all the way to this remote part of the Grand Line. But she'll be dead soon, hahaha." Mr. Valentine said with some dissatisfaction, then suddenly laughed.

"A sinner?" Mr. 9 was still very puzzled.

"That's what the president said: my secret has been discovered. Of course, I don't know what the secret is. Our company motto is secrecy. No one's background can be investigated within the company. That's the rule. So, if someone knows the boss's secret, they're doomed," Mr. 5 continued to explain.

"So we investigated carefully to find out who knew the boss's secret. Hahaha, the result was incredible! We discovered that an important figure from a certain kingdom had infiltrated our Baroque Works," Mr. Monday said with a laugh.

"A certain, a certain kingdom!? Let me clarify beforehand, although I wear a crown, I am not a king, it's just a hobby of mine." Mr. 9 thought he was being talked about and hurriedly explained.

“Of course not you,” Mr. Monday said with some dissatisfaction.

"The culprit is Princess Vivi, who is currently missing from the Kingdom of Alabasta. Don't you agree, Mr. Wednesday?" Mr. 5 looked at Vivi.

Icarus clenched his fists. He'd been exposed; it was time to end it here.

"Die, Curly Cannon!" Icarus launched an attack on the two instantly.

Chapter Twenty: The Princess's Journey to Reclaim Her Kingdom (Part Three)

"I will not let you touch a single hair on the princess's head, I swear on my name as the captain of the Alabasta royal guard!" Icarus said with unwavering determination.

"Captain Icarus of the Alabasta Kingdom's Guard and Princess Nefit Vivi, I have been ordered by the president of Baroque Works to kill you." As the smoke cleared, Mr. 5 and Mr. Valentine were unharmed. Mr. 5 pulled out a photo of Vivi and calmly said...

Upon hearing this, Icarus launched another attack, the gun hidden in his curly hair firing bullets continuously.

From within the smoke, Mr. 5 extended a hand and flicked it lightly. A small black ball landed on Icarus, and with a "thud," Icarus exploded instantly.

Immediately afterward, Icarum fell heavily to the ground. "Icarum!" Vivi rushed to his side. "It's no use, hahaha."

Laughter rang out, and Mr. Valentine suddenly flew into the air with his umbrella, kicking at Vivi.

Vivi dodged, but was still kicked in the headband, causing her long blue hair to fall loose. Seeing this, Vivi instantly retaliated, but Mr. Valentine easily dodged the attack.

The umbrella swayed, and Mr. Valentine floated to Mr. 5's side. "Monster!" Vivi said coldly, looking at the two of them.

Mr. 5 is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user with the power of the Blast-Blast Fruit. Any part of his body can explode, whether it's boogers or breath blown from his mouth. He is also immune to gunpowder and explosive attacks.

Mr. Valentine is a Paramecia-type Light-Weight Fruit user, who can freely manipulate her weight from 1 kg to 10000 kg. She can drift like a feather and suppress enemies with her astonishing weight. The umbrella she carries is used to correct her direction.

"So you really are a princess?!" Mr. Wednesday, hoho. "Just then, Mr. 9, who had finally figured out the situation, suddenly spoke up, and Mr. 9 proudly and excitedly twisted his body.

"Don't do anything foolish again, Mr. 9!" Vivi said, quite displeased with his behavior. "Lady Vivi!" Icarus, lying on the ground, spoke up.

"Icaram, are you alright?" Weiwei asked with great concern.

“If we lose you, our Alabasta nation will... Let’s go, hurry!” Icarim said, forcing himself to speak.

"Do you think you can escape my grasp?" Mr. 5 said, picking his nose. "Don't underestimate me!" Vivi pulled out her weapon.

But then, Mr. 9 stood in front of Vivi and said, "Although I have absolutely no idea what's going on, out of consideration for how long we've been partners, I'll explain..."

Hurry up and leave, Mr. Wednesday!

"Mr. 9..." Vivi exclaimed in surprise.

I'm a pretty good guy, right? Goodbye, Hot-Blooded Number Nine backflip! Mr. 9 somersaulted towards Mr. 5 and Mr. Valentine. Then he was instantly defeated by Mr. 5's booger bomb.

Then Mr. Monday stood in front of Vivi and said, "Although I don't understand what's going on either, since Icarus wants to protect you, I'll help you too. Go!"

After saying that, Mr. Monday rushed towards the two of them. Then, Mr. Valentine instantly pinned him to the ground. The two of them did buy Vivi some time.

Vivi had arrived at the door of the room where Mashiro and Tashigi lived. Trembling, Vivi pounded on the door, pleading, "Please, save me!"

"What? Is there some hidden expert? Haha, stop struggling, you sinner," Mr. 5 said coldly.

The two approached Weiwei step by step. Weiwei continued to pound on the door.

Under Vivi's terrified gaze, Mr. 5 flicked a booger bomb at her. "Boom!"

An explosion was heard.

Weiwei closed her eyes tightly, but the imagined pain didn't come. Instead, her body fell into a soft and warm embrace. A wisp of fragrance wafted into her senses, and Weiwei opened her eyes.

In the firelight and smoke, a beautiful and radiant face was reflected in her eyes.

Mashiro looked Weiwei up and down and said softly, "Your outfit tonight is quite nice. I would only agree to ask me for a favor if you looked like that."

Perhaps influenced by Mashiro's words on the ship, Weiwei changed her clothes after arriving at Whiskey Peak. Instead of wearing the unconventional outfit she wore as Mr. Wednesday, she wore a regular dress.

Although it was just an ordinary dress, as Vivi's long, sea-blue hair was let loose, her beautiful face was fully highlighted.

Having acquired immense power, Mashiro now prefers to act according to her own whims and moods. "Who are you? Mr. Wednesday's reinforcements?" she said, launching another booger-like bomb.

A stone wall appeared out of thin air, blocking the booger bomb. Then, an invisible slash cleaved the stone wall in two, passing right through it, and Mr. 5's body was also split in two.

Mashiro originally wanted to play with Mr. 5 a little longer; his abilities reminded Mashiro of Deidara. However, after seeing that Mr. 5 used bombs made from boogers...

After it was made, Mashiro gave up on the idea.

The Blast Fruit was given to someone like that... truly...

Looking at Mr. 5's body, which had been split in two, Mr. Valentine was too terrified to move. Her pupils trembled violently, as if she still couldn't believe the fact.

After setting Vivi, who was also looking utterly shocked, down on the ground, Mashiro walked lightly to Mr. Valentine, bent down, and said with a smile, "Now you have two choices: surrender or die."

"I surrender." Seeing Mr. 5's miserable state, Mr. Valentine instantly chose to surrender. [Name: Michita (Mr. Valentine)]
