XX-level Hokage

This ability is not illusion, but more like hypnosis. It can be said that once someone is affected, most people will be unable to escape its influence.

Imagine if, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Wind Chaser, Water Release, dye, and Mariano's paintbrush had been used to unleash a wide-ranging barrage of Calm Green or Friend's Yellow-Green, the war would likely have ended much sooner.

This is also why Mashiro chose to bring Mariano under her control.

She's only a teenager, yet her abilities are already at this level; her future potential is enormous. That's why Mashiro is currently teaching her how to better utilize her abilities.

The most important aspect of Mariano is that it requires touch; for a color to have an effect, it must touch the other color.

As a form of hypnotic manipulation that utilizes emotions, it should be able to influence someone simply by seeing a color. To reach that level, Mariano will need a long period of training.

As expected of those hailed as the "Kings of the Underworld," the manpower and resources provided by Gibson and Umit were of exceptional quality. There was absolutely no need for Mashiro to direct them; from the moment they disembarked, they were neatly assembled and began to inventory materials and begin construction.

All Mashiro needed to provide was a set of construction blueprints. Mashiro was very satisfied with this.

The blueprint set up by Mashiro largely followed the layout of Konoha, but it was scaled down to a certain extent due to the size of the area, and the Hokage Rock was replaced with the Tree of Omniscience.

On the fourth day, naval aid arrived. Two warships appeared near the port of Ohara. Mashiro went to greet them alone.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea are nominally allies of the Navy, so Shinhaku has to give them that much face. As the warship docked, two squads of Navy personnel disembarked.

The leader was a smiling young girl, wearing a sun hat, a floral low-cut mini-dress, and carrying a steel whip. She was the granddaughter of Chief of Staff Tsuru, a member of the Sharp Blade unit, a Rear Admiral, and the Peacock.

"Hello, I am Rear Admiral Peacock, here on behalf of the Navy to assist in the reconstruction of Ohara," Peacock said with a smile. Her voice was soft and quite playful.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Bet

"Greetings, Major General Peacock, I am Mashiro." Mashiro glanced at Peacock and said with a light laugh. [Name: Peacock]

Gender: Female Age: 17

Affiliation: Navy; Three-color Haki: Armament Haki

Devil Fruit Ability: Paramecia-type Whip-Whip Fruit; Weapon: Fighting Whip

Height: 160cm, Luck Value: 60, Agreement: 0

The Whip-Whip Fruit? The abilities of Devil Fruits are indeed incredibly diverse.

[Paramecia Type - Whip-Whip Fruit: Ability to command anything that can be whipped, including both organic and inorganic matter] "This ability is somewhat similar to Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode," Shin muttered to himself.

The Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave has two special Sage Arts: Sage Art: White Strike Technique and Sage Art: Inorganic Rebirth.

Among them, the Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation is a ninjutsu that can give life to inanimate objects and control them. "What's wrong, Mashiro?" Peacock asked softly, looking at Mashiro who seemed a little stunned.

"It's nothing, I was just a little impressed by Major General Peacock's youth; he's truly accomplished at such a young age," Mashiro said with a smile.

“Likewise, Miss Mashiro.” Peacock said, gently wielding her whip. Then, the two strolled casually toward the island.

The navy following behind, especially those who had seen other Shichibukai before, all looked incredulous.

The other Shichibukai they had met before, except for Jinbe the Fishman, were all incredibly aloof and wicked. This Shichibukai in front of them was so gentle. Was she really a Shichibukai?!

Similarly, they were also shocked by Rear Admiral Peacock's attitude. As the granddaughter of Vice Admiral Tsuru and a promising naval officer who had distinguished herself from a young age, Rear Admiral Peacock possessed an extremely wicked character. This wickedness extended not only to criminals but also to her subordinates; many of them had been lashed by her whip.

It was completely unexpected that the two of them were getting along so peacefully. Walking towards the island, Peacock looked at Mashiro's face with great interest.

The reason she was so calm towards Mashiro was simple: before leaving the Navy Headquarters, her grandmother, Chief of Staff Tsuru, had a special talk with her.

The discussion didn't cover much, mainly two things: how to carry out the naval mission and investigate the purpose of rebuilding Ohara, and also how to call her.

Beware of this new Shichibukai.

In Peacock's memory, there were very few things that could make her almost omnipotent grandmother show a serious expression. Therefore, her attitude towards Mashiro became unusually calm.

"General Peacock seems quite curious about me?" Masashi said with a smile, watching Peacock secretly observing him.

"It's nothing. I was just a little surprised that Miss Mashiro could defeat a Shichibukai at such a young age," Peacock said softly. Hearing this, Mashiro simply smiled.

"May I try?" the peacock suddenly asked.

"Hmm?" Mashiro looked at Peacock and instantly understood what she meant.

"I want to see how big the gap is between you and me," the peacock said earnestly, pulling on the whip in its hand with some excitement.

“Of course I have no objection, but how about we add some stakes?” Mashiro said with a light laugh. “Stakes?” Peacock was instantly puzzled.

"If Miss Peacock can withstand one move from me, I'll be your subordinate for a month," Mashiro whispered in Peacock's ear.

Upon hearing this, Peacock's expression showed a hint of excitement, but she calmly asked softly, "What if I lose?" "Then please be my maid for a month, Major General Peacock," Mashiro said softly.

Upon hearing Mashiro's conditions, Peacock hesitated for a moment, about to refuse, when she heard Mashiro continue seductively in her ear: "Does Major General Peacock not even have the confidence to withstand one move from me? I'm very curious about what it feels like for Major General Peacock to have his whip strike him."

Finally, after a brief internal struggle, emotion prevailed over reason, and Peacock said, "Alright, it's settled then." "Let's go somewhere where no one's around," Mashiro said with a light laugh, then walked off in one direction.

"You two take the supplies and go help out in the center of the island. Miss Mashiro and I have some things to discuss." After saying that, Peacock followed. Ten minutes later, the two arrived at the center of a thicket of thorns.

"I'll ask you one more time, Major General Peacock, are you sure you agree to this bet?" Mashiro asked softly.

"Enough talk, let's begin." Peacock instantly activated his Armament Haki, wielding his whip and creating cracks in the ground.

The crack seemed to develop a sense of self, and two thick earthen walls blocked the peacock's path. Ignoring this, she walked lightly towards the peacock.

Seeing this, the peacock instantly wanted to launch an attack, swinging her whip at Mashiro. But, just as she was about to swing it...

Mashiro's eyes suddenly turned into light blue tomoe Rinnegan, and then into light green tomoe Rinnegan.

Immediately afterwards, an irresistible force filled the peacock's mind. Fear, despair.

The peacock's body froze instantly, leaving only a slight, uncontrollable tremor. Overwhelmed by intense fear, the peacock briefly lost control of its body.

At that moment, she seemed to see a pair of enormous eyes looking down at her in her mind. This was a feeling she had never experienced before.

The feeling that was about to make her feel so insignificant that she couldn't muster any resistance, even the courage to run away and scream, was taken away. Mashiro walked lightly in front of the peacock, and the two earthen walls instantly crumbled.

Reaching out, Mashiro removed the peacock's hat and gently stroked its hair.

The moment Zhenzi's hand landed on the peacock's head, the immense fear and pressure she faced vanished.

The peacock's body went limp, its head covered in sweat, and it lowered its head slightly, wanting to make Zhenbai's touch more comfortable. This is the instinctive submission and subservience of the weak to the strong.

"You lost, Major General Peacock," Mashiro said with a light laugh.

"Yes, yes, I lost," the peacock replied in a trembling voice.

"Wait for me under the Tree of Omniscience tonight." With that, Mashiro removed her hand and turned to walk back the way she came. After Mashiro left, Peacock collapsed heavily to the ground, her eyes glazed over.

She finally understood why her grandmother had warned her to be careful of the new Shichibukai. It was a difference in completely different levels.

Humming a little tune, Mashiro walked toward the center of Ohara Island.

The Rinnegan with tomoe possesses a captivating power, similar to the external manifestation of human abilities. It instills immense fear in others through its powerful eye energy.

Mashiro has never used this ability, since it is useless against the weak and cannot be used against the strong.

That was her first time using it, and judging from the peacock's expression, the effect should be pretty good. (Nighttime)

Under the Tree of Omniscience.

The peacock waited silently.

It was almost the first time she had ever felt such fear towards someone. But for some reason, this fear was mixed with a strong sense of excitement.

As they waited patiently, Mashiro approached quietly. "Are you alright, Peacock?"

Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Peacock

Peacock didn't speak, but looked at Mashiro with a complicated expression.

"I originally thought you wouldn't keep your promise, but it seems I underestimated you," Mashiro said with a light laugh. "It's only a month, isn't it? I, Peacock, always keep my word," Peacock replied.

Actually, if it were anyone else, Peacock wouldn't have intended to keep her promise. But the shadow that Zhen Zi left on her was too great, forcing her to keep her promise.

"However, it's best not to let anyone else know about this beforehand, otherwise it will be a lot of trouble for both of us," Peacock added.

"Oh, no problem. We can differentiate the time. During the day, you'll still be a Rear Admiral at Marine Headquarters, and at night, you'll be my maid." Mashiro said with a light laugh.

Upon hearing this, Peacock's expression softened somewhat, and she continued, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Seeing Peacock's heroic demeanor, Mashiro chuckled.

"It seems you have absolutely no idea what a maid's job is. Well, that's understandable, given that you're Vice Admiral Tsuru's granddaughter and a genius Marine from Marine Headquarters."

"Well then, let's start with teaching you how to become a proper maid," Mashiro said softly, stepping over to Peacock. She reached out and stroked her hair.

The peacock instinctively wanted to dodge, but hesitated for a moment and ultimately did not do so.

Mashiro gently stroked the peacock's hair and said, "First of all, as a maid, you must change your form of address. From today until a month from now, you will call me Master."

Leaning close to the peacock's ear, Mashiro whispered.

Mashiro's breath brushed against Peacock's earlobe, making her inexplicably shy. Hearing Mashiro's words, the shyness instantly turned into shame. But for some reason, Peacock didn't feel repulsed; beneath the shame lay a strange excitement.

“Alright, Master~” the peacock called softly. “Very good,” Mashiro encouraged softly.

"Next, give me a leg massage." With that, Mashiro snapped her fingers lightly, and a wooden bench appeared in the light that surprised the peacock.

Releasing her hand from stroking the peacock's hair, Mashiro walked lightly to the bench and lay down. The bench was long and curved, and Mashiro was wearing a skirt, so her pair of fair legs were subtly revealed.

Peacock walked to the bench, hesitated for a moment, stepped down, and reached out to gently pat Zhenbai's calves.

"Can you kneel on the ground?" Mashiro asked softly, watching Peacock's actions. "Don't go too far," Peacock said through gritted teeth.

"A bet is a bet, and I don't think Major General Peacock would care about that," Mashiro said with a light laugh, her eyes somewhat deep.

Looking at Mashiro's expression, Peacock inexplicably recalled what had happened that morning, and finally, she gently knelt on the ground. A gentle breeze blew, and light clouds chased the moon.

The peacock gently kneaded Zhenbai's calves and thighs.

"That's good. Although it's a bit rough around the edges, it's already quite good for you, Little Peacock." Mashiro stood up and sat down in the chair, speaking softly. Peacock didn't speak, just looked at Mashiro without uttering a word.

"You seem quite dissatisfied with me?" Mashiro reached out and stroked the peacock's face, asking softly.

Peacock remained silent, seemingly expressing her protest against Mashiro through her silence. Seeing this, Mashiro suddenly laughed.

Immediately afterwards, vines sprouted from the ground and bound the peacock. "What... what do you want to do?!" the peacock asked in a panic.

"For a maid's master, disciplining her when she misbehaves is also a required course." After saying that, a vine appeared in Mashiro's hand.

"You..." Upon seeing the whip in Mashiro's hand, Peacock seemed to realize something and instantly tensed up.

But before she could finish speaking, the vines controlled the peacock to turn, causing her to assume an incredibly shameful pose, leaning forward with her waist curving into a beautiful arc, revealing her pert buttocks.

Zhenbai lashed the peacock's rump with her whip.

"Ah!~" The burning pain made the peacock cry out involuntarily.

"You actually..." Peacock's voice was full of anger, but before she could finish speaking, Mashiro lashed out with her whip again.

".!""you".!"
