XX-level Hokage

"Drake! I never expected you to be the traitor!!" Upon hearing this, Kasagi said angrily.

After several massive intelligence leaks, Kaido suspected that there was a traitor within the White Beast Pirates, and that the traitor held a high position. "Shut up," Mashiro said softly.

Several vines appeared instantly, binding the wood tightly. The thorns of the vines carried neurotoxins, and the wood instantly became powerless, losing its ability to speak.

“Lieutenant General Tsuru, we’re acquaintances. Are you one of his subordinates?” Mashiro asked softly.

"No, no, I was formerly a Vice Admiral in the Marine Headquarters and am now the captain of the Marine Special Forces 'Sharp Blade.' I was entrusted by Fleet Admiral Sengoku to infiltrate the Beasts Pirates," Drake replied.

Drake hails from the North Sea and is the son of former naval officer Dias Barreus. Barreus was originally an undercover agent, and after being recruited by Garp, Drake chose to follow in his father's footsteps.

"A sharp blade? That explains why you know Lieutenant General Tsuru. How is Peacock?" Mashiro asked with a light laugh.

Although somewhat puzzled as to why Mashiro knew Peacock, Drake obediently replied, "Rear Admiral Peacock is currently stationed at the Ohara Naval Base."

After he finished speaking, Drake finally realized what he meant.

Ohara? Isn't that the territory of this "sorcerer" in front of us? That explains why they know each other.

"A naval base? It seems Vice Admiral Tsuru is really giving me face. For her sake, I'll arrange for you to leave later," Mashiro said calmly. "Thank you, Lady Mashiro," Drake nodded.

"Alright, I'm leaving now. You can all go back and rest. Starting tomorrow, Wano Country and the Beast Pirates will usher in a new chapter." With that, Mashiro flew into the air.

Before leaving, Mashiro glanced down at Black Maria and Kasagi one last time and said, "Of course, you can also choose to escape under the cover of night, if you can manage it."

Then, Mashiro quickly disappeared.

After Mashiro left, the vines that had been wrapped around Kiku disappeared, and without the continuous injection of neurotoxins from the vines, Kiku began to regain control of his body.

"You traitor!" Shi Mu said, struggling to his feet and staring at Drake. Drake didn't respond and simply turned and left.

He had nothing to say about pirates; if it weren't for the need for him to be an undercover agent, he would never have chosen to communicate with them.

Although he was extremely dissatisfied with Drake's departure, Mu also knew that he couldn't do anything to him right now.

Then he turned to look at Black Maria and continued, "You are a traitor too! Without Lord Kaido, you would never have your current status and strength."

Black Maria's Devil Fruit, "Spider Fruit - Ancient Zoan - Rose Tarantula Form," was given to her by Kaido.

It's just a matter of mutual benefit. The Beasts Pirates have so many female pirates, there has to be a female officer to manage them. Kaido only values ​​my abilities; he can't let Runyu or Yamato manage them, can he?

Managing those vicious female pirates inevitably requires me to have great strength, which is why he gave me a Devil Fruit.

And it was precisely because of my presence that he was able to take control of Huadu so quickly.

Now, all that can be said is that they're even. "With that, Black Maria also left.

Only the wooden frame remained in the same spot at night.

In the prison on Ghost Island.

Kaido, who was already unconscious, was being held in a huge cell.

As for Quinn, he showed no intention of resisting, and Mashiro didn't even bother with him, only asking him to help Runyu and Yamato maintain order on Onigashima.

Looking at Kaido in front of him.

Mashiro stretched out her hand, and green light flew from her palm, landing on Kaido. "Healing Palm Technique"

Healing Palm Technique is a high-level medical ninjutsu. It can reliably restore both internal and external injuries at an astonishing speed, making it perfect for Kaido's current physical condition.

As the green light continued to fall, Kaido frowned deeply. After a moment, Kaido slightly opened his eyes.

At the same time, Mashiro stopped releasing the Healing Palm Technique and slapped Kaido's forehead with her hand.

[Five Senses Control][Geass][Visual Memory]

[Illusion - Bewilderment] [Memory Transformation into a Thousand Acts]

In an instant, Mashiro unleashed five techniques on Kaido, just as she had done to Yamato before.

The manipulation of the five senses blocked Kaido's perception of his body; Geass planted the seeds of hatred in Kaido's heart; visual memory made minor modifications to Yamato's memories; illusion technique: bewilderment loosened Kaido's defenses; and memory transformation assimilated part of the trust he had placed in Rocks and Charlotte Linlin into her.

Because of Kaido's strong willpower, Shinji deliberately released his power when Kaido awoke, and it seems to be working quite well.

After a moment of surprise, Kaido opened his eyes. "You won," Kaido said to Mashiro.

"So, what's your choice?" Mashiro said with a light laugh.

"I will join you with the Beasts Pirates, and together we will overthrow the rule of world conquest," Kaido said. Hearing this, Mashiro couldn't help but smile.

Mashiro planted the seeds of hatred for the World Government in Kaido using [Geass]. The modified part of the [Vision Memory] consists of two parts: one part is Kaido's memories when he was captured by the World Government, and the other part is a bet related to her.

In the first part of Kaido's memories, which Mashiro focused on revising, Kaido was conquered by the world and suffered all kinds of torment, and even killed several of his friends. These memories also correspond to [Geass].

Finally, Mashiro used the "Memory Transformation" technique to transfer Kaido's trust in Rocks and Charlotte Linlin onto her.

In this way, the battle became a gamble, a gamble to test whether Mashiro had the ability to overthrow the world and conquer it. Obviously, Mashiro won.

“A wise choice.” With that, Mashiro continued to use medical ninjutsu on Kaido.

Given Kaido's regenerative abilities and physical strength, Mashiro only needs to restore his spine; the rest of his bones will heal quickly. The next day.

They appeared in the plaza of Ghost Island.

To her right stood Kasagi, Black Maria, Drake, and Page One in that order; to her left stood Jun, Yamato, and Queen in that order as well.

The pirates below the plaza, witnessing this scene, deeply understood what had happened the previous night—a change was imminent.

Chapter 149: Fabricating History

"I think you've all heard the story of the Twenty Kings, haven't you?" Mashiro said to herself, ignoring the noisy pirates below the plaza.

Because of the use of some special abilities, the moment Mashiro spoke, the entire plaza fell completely silent. On Onigashima Plaza, night fell, and flickering firelight illuminated the scene.

Mashiro stood atop the pirates, her figure appearing even more ethereal in the firelight, yet her eyes remained utterly calm. Her long hair swayed gently in the wind, and her clear eyes seemed to pierce through the mists of history.

"Legend has it that the world was not always as we see it now. Long, long ago, twenty people united the world together, and they were later known as the Twenty Lords."

As time passed, their descendants created a powerful organization called the World Government, through which they continued to control the fate of the world and establish all laws and order.

Just then, a burly pirate with a menacing face interrupted her from the crowd: "My lady, we know all this, but what you're saying means nothing to us. We care about the treasure, not this old history."

This is a plant that Mashiro asked Jun to find for her.

Otherwise, given the momentum she had just generated by defeating Kaido, none of the pirates below would have dared to speak.

But today, she had something to say, not to the pirates, but to the messenger seagulls lurking in the air and all around. Yes, she had specifically contacted Morgans yesterday.

Mashiro smiled slightly and continued, "Yes, I know you care about treasure and freedom, but have you ever thought about why there is treasure in the first place?"

Why do pirates exist? What is the root of all this?

She looked around and continued, "The history of the world is woven from countless legends and stories, and apart from the Twenty Kings, all of these legends and stories point to a common goal—ONE PIECE."

Upon hearing this, a young pirate asked curiously, "Sir, what does this have to do with ONE PIECE?" (This is a shill.)

Mashiro continued, "40 years ago, this world was a relatively peaceful one. Although there were pirates, they were more like powerful individuals who controlled their own territories than true pirates."

Until 24 years ago, the great pirate Gol D. Roger arrived at Laugh Tale, and the Roger Pirates dominated the Grand Line, earning him the title of Pirate King.

But strangely enough, a year later, this idol of all pirates chose to surrender himself and was eventually executed in public in Loguetown, East Blue, his birthplace.

His last words before his execution sent people rushing to the sea, leading to a fierce struggle among pirates for 'One Piece,' thus ushering in the Great Pirate Era.

Mashiro began to recount the historical context of this world. Although she had sighed many times before, Mashiro couldn't help but sigh again, finding the reasons for the world's development truly strange.

The burly pirate spoke again, "Sir, we know all that you're saying. Why are you bringing it up all of this now?" The reason is simple: I am an explorer, and on my adventures I have found many pieces of Poneglyphs.

After deciphering the historical text, I discovered an astonishing secret: the history of this world is not as simple as we imagine. The development of history is all traceable.

The Blank Century of History, Celestial Dragons, The Reason Roger Surrendered, ONE PIECE.

A massive conspiracy lies hidden behind history, and the world government deliberately conceals the truth to maintain its rule.

Mashiro's words piqued the interest of all the pirates. Even Yamato and Jun, who were beside her, were startled and moved closer to Mashiro, wanting to hear her more clearly.

"Not all twenty kings who once ruled the world died. One king survived and achieved immortality through a special weapon. In the history of Yongcheng, she single-handedly created the world conquest."

And with her indulgence, the descendants of the Twenty Kings recklessly harmed the world.

In this context, the first pirate, born of destiny, was born.

He united all the other oppressed races and launched a revolution against the king.

Ultimately, he failed because of one person's betrayal. Before he died, he placed the history of this world and the destroyed civilization on an island that no one could find, and engraved the island's coordinates on an indestructible stone.

Centuries passed after his death. The world returned to peace.

During this time, the World Government destroyed everything about him and erased the history of that struggle.

They thought they could erase this history, but they couldn't prevent the birth of the next fighter. Gol D. Roger.

After arriving in Laugh Tale, he learned the truth about the world.

But as he prepared to launch a revolution against direct government, he was infected with an incurable virus, and his time was running out.

Finally, he devised a plan: to use the information from the treasure to turn the entire population into revolutionaries. Everyone who embarks on the Grand Line will, in their pursuit of freedom, clash with the World Government.

"In the end, a new Pirate King will learn everything and lead all those who seek freedom to start a new revolution." Mashiro finished speaking.

The entire square was immersed in a deep emotion.

Seemingly anticipating this situation, Mashiro continued, "But fortunately, not all of the original pirate's followers perished. Some survived and were known as the Pirates. Their mission was to open up a new world, to liberate the people, and to thwart the World Government's conspiracy."

The first part was fabricated by Mashiro based on known history, while the second part was entirely made up. Suddenly, the young pirate in the crowd stood up and excitedly exclaimed, "Sir, are you the guardian of history?"

Mashiro smiled slightly and nodded: "Yes, I am one of the pioneers." A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd.

Mashiro continued, "This is also why I chose to defeat Kaido. As the World Government gradually grows stronger, the pirates' power is weakening. Time is running out to overthrow the World Government."

Therefore, I must let the world hear all of this, and let everyone know the truth.

Her voice echoed in the night sky, each word deeply etched into the hearts of the pirates.

After Mashiro finished speaking, the plaza fell silent. All the pirates were deep in thought; they couldn't believe it, yet they couldn't accept it either, after all, the girl who spoke these words had just defeated one of the Four Emperors.

"Finally, I would like to remind you that, according to the information I received from Vegapunk, the World Government has developed a batch of technological weapons, each with the strength of a vice admiral."

Chapter 150: A Land of Passion

Mashiro dropped another bombshell.

A scientific weapon possessing the strength of a vice admiral?! This is indeed an immense threat to pirates.

"So, what do you plan to do?" a red-haired female pirate asked. She wasn't really asking for trouble.

"How? It's simple. Besides the Beasts Pirates, I also plan to find the other three Yonko (Four Emperors) and the seven Shichibukai (Warlords of the Sea), and form a pirate guild with all the powerful pirates on the seas to fight against the World Government," Mashiro replied with a smile.
