XX-level Hokage

With each lash from Mashiro, the peacock's voice grew fainter, until only screams remained...

Under Shiro's precise control of force, the yellow skirt worn by the peacock was torn to shreds, leaving only a pair of yellow underwear, and her exposed white skin was covered with red marks.

At this moment, Peacock's face was full of shame and indignation. What bothered her was not the pain from being whipped on her buttocks, but the humiliation of being whipped on her buttocks, especially when she was put in such a shameful position.

However, Peacock herself did not dislike the pain of being whipped; on the contrary, she felt a kind of stimulation. Sometimes she would whip herself when she was alone at home.

The burning pain in my buttocks, the humiliation in my heart, and the fear of Mashiro.

With the three combined, the peacock inexplicably felt a strange excitement. Its cries gradually turned into groans.

As the groans grew louder, Mashiro stopped whipping. "Little Peacock, how do you feel now?" Mashiro asked softly. "I feel great," Peacock replied.

She felt a strange stirring within her, yet she was completely powerless to stop it. "Huh? I didn't hear you clearly," Mashiro whispered.

The vines binding the peacock tightened instantly, and the pain returned.

"I feel very comfortable. Thank you for the reward, Master. I love you the most, Master!" the peacock said shyly in a hurried voice. [Peacock's approval rating +10]

From a young age, Peacock admired strength. She was surrounded by many powerful figures, including naval heroes, naval admirals, and naval commanders.

Coupled with the lack of parental guidance and her exceptional talent from a young age, Peacock's mind gradually became twisted, and she developed sadistic tendencies. However, no one knew that in addition to being a sadist, Peacock also had a hidden masochistic tendency, but because of her identity, no one had ever made her feel pain.

Now, Mashiro's strength has awakened Peacock's admiration for power, while the whipping has rekindled her hidden masochistic tendencies.

To her own surprise, she had begun to win over the heart of the girl before her. Hearing this, Mashiro nodded in satisfaction.

The vines then lowered the peacock down and disappeared.

Landing on the ground, Peacock, her face flushed and somewhat excited, crawled lightly towards Mashiro, nuzzling against her leg. "It's quite unexpected, Rear Admiral Peacock of the Marine Headquarters is actually..." Mashiro said, turning sideways and sitting directly on Peacock's waist.

"Isn't that right, little peacock?" Masashi said with a smile. The peacock did not answer.

Mashiro slapped the peacock's buttocks, causing it to sway.

The burning pain made the peacock groan again.

“Yes, my dear master,” the peacock said in a magnetic voice. Two weeks later.

With the help of Gibson and Umet, and the assistance of the Navy, the reconstruction of Ohara is progressing much faster than Robin had anticipated. It is estimated that it will be fully completed in another week.

This is an incredibly huge town.

Over the course of two weeks, Marianu practiced drawing under Mashiro's guidance, constantly improving her skills. Meanwhile, Rachel was learning how to make desserts, one of her few hobbies.

Robin was responsible for overseeing the reconstruction and writing letters to renowned scholars around the world. Mashiro, on the other hand, had a very relaxed life.

In the morning, I give Marianu some training guidance; at noon, I enjoy Michita's desserts; in the afternoon, I discuss physiology with Mashiro; and in the evening, I play a master-servant game with Peacock.

Interesting and engaging.

Of course, Mashiro also has her own plans.

She plans to make Ohara her base in this world. After Ohara is rebuilt, she plans to bring Nami here as well, and then go to Skypiea or Fishman Island.

The peacock stood on the warship, gazing absentmindedly at the island ahead.

She's currently considering applying to Navy Headquarters to leave; she's almost at her breaking point.

Under this "master-servant game," she felt her soul was no longer her own; every night, she would become... become... lewd.

Upon arriving at Baiguan, one will feel immense regret and shame.

Just then, Mashiro appeared and flew to Peacock's side. "Master!" Peacock immediately bowed his head and said with utmost respect.

"It's daytime now, Lieutenant General Peacock," Mashiro said softly, looking at the peacock before her.

Upon hearing this, Peacock suddenly came to her senses, looked at Mashiro with a complicated expression, and asked, "Is there something you need, Miss Mashiro?"

"What, can't you come here to take a look if there's nothing wrong? Don't forget, according to the Navy's promise, this island and the surrounding port waters are within my sphere of influence," Mashiro said softly.

Peacock remained silent, quietly distancing herself from Mashiro. Her heart would race whenever she got close to Mashiro.

Mashiro didn't seem to care. She snapped her fingers, and a recliner appeared. Mashiro sat down gently, leaning back and stretching.

Peacock instinctively came up behind Mashiro and gently squeezed her shoulder. "Little Peacock, do you know about Sky Island?" Mashiro asked softly.

"What, does Master also believe in that legendary floating island?" the peacock asked in a low voice.

"To ordinary civilians, it might just be a legend, but to the Navy, it's a different story, isn't it?" Mashiro said with a smile.

Sky Islands are located in the White Sea of ​​the Grand Line. They are islands that are difficult for ordinary people to reach, so much so that many people believe that Sky Islands do not exist. But in fact, Sky Islands do exist, and there are many of them. Sky Islands are all located above the clouds, where the air is thin. "Peacock paused for a moment and said softly.

Chapter 40: The City of Seven Waters

"Is there a way to get to the Sky Island?" Mashiro asked softly.

"There are many sky islands, some of which have precise flight paths to reach, while others do not."

Taking the regular flight route from the Western Summit, you will encounter several floating islands along the way.

Riding the towering current known as the "Monster Current" can take you directly to some sky islands without specific routes, but the survival rate is extremely low.

The most representative and largest sky island is located in the White Sea, at an altitude of approximately 10000 meters. This sky island is accessible via the Sky Piercing Sea.

"It arrived by the flow." The peacock pondered for a moment before replying.

"Since there's a way to get there, doesn't the Navy intend to include the Sky Island within its jurisdiction?" Mashiro asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I had the same question, and I even asked my grandmother about it. She told me that it seemed the World Government had issued an order prohibiting the development and exposure of Sky Islands, especially large ones," Peacock replied.

"I see. Then what about Fishman Island?" Although she was a little confused, Mashiro didn't ask any more questions. She knew that even if she asked, Peacock probably wouldn't be able to answer, so she changed the subject.

Fish-Man Island, located 10,000 meters below the surface of Mary Geoise, is a crucial stop on the way to the New World and the birthplace of most Fish-Men and Mermaids. It's also known as the "Underwater Paradise," a dreamlike haven. "Peacock said with longing," she added, "I really want to go to Fish-Man Island; it must be so much fun to whip those cute characters."

"If you want to visit Fishman Island, do you have to make a special trip to the Sabaody Archipelago?" Mashiro asked.

"That's right. Ships that want to go to Fishman Island usually have their hulls coated in the Sabaody Archipelago and then sail with the ocean currents to arrive safely," Peacock replied softly.

Then, as if remembering something, he continued, "After the 'Great Pirate Era' began, many Marines and pirates passing through this area also began to target the fish-men on the island."

The tribe and the merfolk engaged in large-scale kidnapping and plundering.

Because young female mermaids can fetch high prices in human human trafficking markets, it is common for human pirates who come to the island to kidnap mermaids.

It wasn't until Edward Newgate, one of the "Four Emperors," declared Fish-Man Island his territory that the pirates dared not continue their invasion. Therefore, Fish-Man Island is now considered Whitebeard's territory. As a Shichibukai, you'd better not cause any trouble if you go there. "Judging from your tone, you don't seem to have any ill will towards Whitebeard," Mashiro said with amusement.

"Perhaps it's because of my special status that I know more things. My grandmother also often tells me not to view good and evil with absolute standards."

In a sense, the Navy's communication with Whitebeard was not for Whitebeard himself, but for the identity of pirates he represented.

Whitebeard may not have been a purely evil person, but what about his crew? What about the other pirates who set sail with him as their goal and idol? "Peacock said quite seriously.

"In a sense, your vision has surpassed that of many others; you've already seen the essence of things," Mashiro said gently, glancing at Peacock with considerable appreciation.

No wonder she's Lieutenant General Tsuru's granddaughter.

Hearing Mashiro's appreciative words, Peacock felt a surge of joy and smiled shyly.

"If you really want to go to Fishman Island, you can suggest it to Jinbe beforehand. He's one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, just like you, and he has a very high status and prestige among the Fishmen," Peacock reminded her.

Upon hearing this, Mashiro stood up and patted the peacock's head, saying, "Thank you." Then she floated into the air and flew away from the warship.

After Mashiro left, Peacock belatedly realized that she had unconsciously become that guy's maid again. Hmph! Really!

"I'd better apply to flee as soon as possible. If this continues, it'll really be a problem," Peacock muttered to herself with a complicated tone. Five more days passed.

The reconstruction of Ohara is largely complete, centered around the Tree of Omniscience.

An office building was built in the ring closest to the Tree of Omniscience, followed by a leisure area, a residential area, a commercial area, and another residential area.

With the completion of the project, Kiberson and the supply and construction teams sent by Uzzi also left. As for the project funds, Robin was responsible for handling all of them.

When Mashiro left Alabasta, at Robin's behest, she took all of Baroque Works' funds and handed them over.

It was given to Robin for safekeeping.

Although Qiangsheng and the people sent by Ulait left, the people sent by the Navy could not leave.

Especially for Peacock, whose mission is to conduct secret surveillance, the real task will only begin after Ohara is rebuilt.

Three days ago, she tried to tell the headquarters directly that she wanted to leave, but after hearing that the head office had chosen Hibari to replace her, she gave up the idea and let Hibari come to face Mashiro, which was definitely like a lamb being led into the tiger's den.

The Navy's top brass had a simple idea: for a supervisory mission that was almost risk-free but could bring great merit, it was obviously more worthwhile to send members of the Navy Seed: the secret special forces unit "Sharp Blade".

So, the peacock had no choice but to stay there. (Was it really out of necessity?)

Ohara has been rebuilt, and Mashiro's next step is to figure out how to gather scholars from all over the world here.

These past few days, Robin had been busy with this matter, writing numerous invitation letters for her, but unsurprisingly, they all went unanswered. "I still haven't heard back," Robin said, somewhat disappointed.

"That's normal. In the eyes of all scholars, Ohara has long been destroyed. Now, a Shichibukai inexplicably says he wants to rebuild it. They won't believe it."

"Is gambling with your own life and fortune a trap?" Mashiro said softly, sitting on Robin's lap.

"Then, Master, do you have any ideas?" Robin asked with a smile, feeding Mashiro a grape. "It's simple, just find a representative," Mashiro said softly after swallowing the grape.

Robin instantly understood Mashiro's meaning. Water Seven Castle.

The island is the birthplace of the sea train and also home to one of the largest shipyards in the world. Eight hundred years ago, a warship named "Pluto" was built by the shipbuilding technicians on the island.

Today, a warship entered the port of the City of Seven Waters.

"The waterways of the Seven Waters are quite complex. In addition to the water transport on the flat land, there are many waterways that extend down from the high places of the Seven Waters."

Local residents raise a creature called "Bru" as a means of transportation on water. In addition to its use for water transport, the Bru has a strong carrying capacity and can also be used to assist with moving.

In addition, the city of Water Seven is hit by a massive tsunami every year by a creature called "Aqua Laguna (the God of Water)," so the local residents pay special attention to weather reports about the God of Water.

This will allow the water gods to prepare for disasters before they arrive at the City of Seven Waters, and the island will also provide temporary shelter for the people.

After the water gods attacked the city of Seven Waters, they left a high concentration of sea salt on the eaves of every house. The local residents would then use the sea salt left behind by the water gods.

Salt is used in cooking. "The peacock, looking helpless, explained the situation of Water Seven to its 'master,' who was completely lacking in common sense."

Her mission was to monitor Kiba and Ohara, but now that Kiba was suddenly leaving Ohara, after some thought, she decided to follow him. After all, her "master-servant game" with Mami only had three days left, and she wanted it to end quickly.

After listening to the peacock's introduction, Qi Bai looked curiously at the huge island in front of him, which resembled a city.

"Now that we're here, let's go over there," Mashiro said softly.

"The past? Where to? Come to think of it, I haven't asked yet. What's your purpose in coming to the City of Seven Waters? To build a ship?" Peacock asked. "I'm looking for someone." After saying that, Mashiro opened her arms to Peacock.

"You too..." Peacock was somewhat at a loss, looking at Mashiro's actions.

Mashiro didn't pay any attention, simply stepping forward and scooping the peacock into her arms. Then, her paper wings unfurled, and Mashiro took flight with the peacock. The other marines on the warship simply watched in silence.

One is a Shichibukai, and the other is their superior; neither of them can be offended.
