XX-level Hokage

Just as Kizaru was about to respond, a sudden tremor came from outside the auction house. Then, a large number of reinforcements from the Sea Caravan poured in and began to surround the entire auction house. In the distance, several warships could be seen slowly approaching, seemingly intending to carry out a larger-scale encirclement operation.

But Mashiro remained unmoved, calmly scanning the room: "It seems the World Government has no intention of giving up so easily."

As she spoke, her Rinnegan lit up again, and the ground beneath her feet trembled violently once more. Mashiro formed a hand seal with one hand, then shouted sharply, "Wooden Hands - True Several Thousand Hands!"

As she spoke, the ground outside the auction house suddenly cracked open, and a colossal wooden statue rose from the earth.

The colossal statue was towering white, surrounded by countless arms, resembling an ancient deity descending to earth, giving one a sense of awe and overwhelming power.

The appearance of the colossus shook the entire auction house, leaving even the supernovas present speechless for a moment. "What kind of monster is this?!" Kidd exclaimed in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Law observed calmly, muttering, "Is this her power? No wonder she can defeat Kaido and Doflamingo." The enormous figure of True Thousand Hands blotted out the sky, its hands clasped together, before it suddenly slammed down towards the naval fleet outside the auction house.

In an instant, the earth shook violently, and with a deafening roar, the navy's encirclement collapsed instantly, and the fleet was destroyed in pieces by the Colossus's attack.

Mashiro breathed a sigh of relief as the light returned to Kizaru: "Let's end it here, Kizaru." Kizaru's face remained calm as always, but he knew he was powerless to change anything. He was bound in mid-air, his consciousness fading, unable to offer any further resistance.

Finally, Kizaru could only sigh helplessly, "Oh~ I'm really a little unwilling." With Kizaru rendered incapacitated, the entire auction house fell into a deathly silence.

No one dared to make a sound; even their breathing became cautious. Mashiro slowly floated down from the sky and stood once more on the auction stage.

She glanced around at the crowd in the auction hall and finally said calmly, "From today onwards, the Sabaody Archipelago will be under my control."

No one dared to refute her declaration; the irresistible pressure instilled awe in everyone, even the supernovas remained silent.

Mashiro's gaze finally fell on Kemi, and she said softly, "Let's go, let's get out of here first." Kemi nodded excitedly and followed behind Mashiro as the auction house exit opened for them.

Chapter 184: Bonnie

Three hours ago.

Kizaru landed on the Sabaody Archipelago, stepping on cannonballs.

Because of Mashiro, the Navy's reputation plummeted, leaving Sengoku in a state of panic upon receiving the news.

Just then, news of the Supernovas gathering at Sabaody Archipelago reached Marine Headquarters. Therefore, in order to uphold the Navy's honor, Sengoku decided to take action against them.

Subsequently, after Sengoku made this proposal, Kizaru volunteered to comply, and Sengoku readily agreed to let Kizaru clean up the mess; the two tacitly understood each other's intentions.

There was no other way. Akainu was captured, Aokiji was still recovering from his overpowered state, Garp disobeyed orders, and Sengoku had to stay behind at Marine Headquarters. Even if Kizaru hadn't volunteered, this task would definitely have fallen to him.

After arriving at the Sabaody Archipelago, Kizaru used a Den Den Mushi to make a phone call to Sentomaru. As a precaution, Sengoku also sent a pacifist over.

Therefore, Kizaru treated this mission as a publicly funded vacation.

Shortly after Kizaru landed on the Sabaody Archipelago, two nameless pirates, hoping to become famous overnight, hid in the shadows and shot Kizaru in the head.

Kizaru, on the other hand, demonstrated the power of Logia-type Devil Fruits to the extreme, kicking Mangrove Tree #27 with a mere lift of his foot.

Then he went to Hawkins, one of the Supernovas, looking for someone. Surprisingly, Hawkins completely ignored Kizaru and started telling fortunes by drawing cards.

"In battle, the defeat rate is 100%, the escape success rate is 12%, and the defense evasion rate is 76%."

Hearing these strange words, Kizaru realized he wouldn't get any information out of Hawkins, so he used a Lightning Speed ​​Kick to send Hawkins flying.

The instant Hawkins was hit by the light-speed kick, he activated his Devil Fruit ability, using a scarecrow to transfer the damage to a pirate in a red vest who was watching nearby.

Seeing that he hadn't killed Hawkins, Kizaru smiled and fired another laser beam.

Similarly, the moment he was hit, Hawkins transferred the damage to a brown-haired pirate next to him.

Just then, "The Strange Monk" Urouge suddenly smashed through the wall and descended from the sky, followed by the Navy's latest weapon, the Pacifista, which looked exactly like the Shichibukai Kuma.

First came a naval admiral, then a pacifist. Urki couldn't help but feel incredibly unlucky.

Looking at the "eccentric monk" Urouge, Hawkins pulled out his tarot cards again and said to him, "You're not going to die today."

Just then, Navy undercover agent Drake pretended to come to the rescue and even asked Strange Monk to show his true skills. Strange Monk immediately rushed up and transformed, forcefully punching the Pacifista away, but was knocked down by the Pacifista's laser beam.

Drake transformed into an Ancient Zoan and bit the Pacifista's head, but was hit by a laser and reverted to his original form after a few seconds. Kizaru then reminded the others that he was still there, and then, stroking his chin, kicked "Strange Monk" Urouge away.

At this point, Hawkins, having consulted the tarot cards, transformed into a scarecrow monster to confront Kizaru head-on, only to have his eyes blinded by a flash of light. "Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Kizaru seemed to have sensed Hawkins' ability, and three lasers completely destroyed Hawkins' Stand. Just as he was about to deliver the final blow to Hawkins...

The captain of the Broadcast Pirates, Apoo, began performing from above. Hearing the performance, Kizaru stopped his attack.

Apoo then unleashed a sonic boom attack. "!"

Kizaru's body exploded, splitting him in two, but the flash of light gathered, and Kizaru was unharmed.

For the Supernovas who haven't yet mastered Armament Haki, Logia-type Devil Fruits are invincible at this point.

Kizaru raised his foot, stood up, and used the Yata Mirror technique to teleport above Apoo's head, then kicked out. "Swallow!"

They took care of Ap instantly.

Then it flashed again. "!"

Another kick to take down the undercover agent, Drake. *Whoosh*

Then a laser shot knocked Hawkins down.

Just as Kizaru was about to deliver the final blow to Hawkins, for some reason, his movements slowed down and he began to have an extremely long casting animation.

Just then, the Den Den Mushi rang. Kizaru picked up the Den Den Mushi and answered the phone, "Moshi Moshi..."

"What, an auction house? I understand."

"A sorcerer? Are you sure you're not joking with me? Okay, I understand."

News of a slave auction came through the Den Den Mushi. It included Celestial Dragons and Mashiro.

Looking at the three Supernovas lying on the ground, Kizaru sighed. He used a Den Den Mushi to notify Sentomaru to finish them off, and then disappeared. That's all the story involving Kizaru.

Back to the present, Kizaru is bound by vines.

Kizaru's bound figure gradually disappeared into the vines, and Mashiro's plan was progressing steadily. Mashiro stood on high ground, her gaze utterly calm, overlooking the entire Sabaody Archipelago.

Subsequently, Mashiro safely escorted Shirahoshi, Yamato, York, Shirley, and Camie onto the Seastone warship docked in the port.

On the deck of the warship, Shirahoshi leaned against the ship's side, gazing at the distant Sabaody Archipelago, her heart filled with complex emotions. The world on land was truly complicated.

"Lord Mashiro, can he really change this world?" Shirahoshi murmured to herself. She used to only yearn for peace, but now, what Mashiro pursues goes far beyond peace.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Sabaody Archipelago, Bonney and her pirate crew were being blocked by pacifists.

Bonnie felt extremely conflicted by the pacifist's face, which was identical to Bartholomew's Bear. She stared at the mechanical monster before her, clenching her teeth, completely unsure how to retaliate.

"Why is this happening..." Bonney's voice was filled with anger and helplessness. Facing this familiar yet unfamiliar enemy, she felt powerless. The Pacifista's eyes flashed red, and its mechanical movements started without any emotion, firing a laser beam straight at Bonney. Bonney tried her best to dodge, but still felt the deadly force grazed past her, and the pirate crew members behind her screamed and fell to the ground.

As the pacifists prepared to attack again, Bonnie's heart sank into despair. However, at this critical moment, a slight rustling of wind suddenly filled the air.

As a dark shadow descended from the sky, vines suddenly appeared, quickly wrapping around the pacifist's limbs and firmly pinning him to the spot. "You seem to need help," a calm and gentle voice came from behind Bonnie.

"You are? A sorcerer?!" Bonnie turned around in surprise, only to find Mashiro standing before her. Her appearance was like a sudden storm, completely turning the tide of the battle.

Then, the vines intensified their control, and the pacifists gradually lost their ability to move. Bonnie watched all this, her heart filled with shock.

She had heard of the sorcerer's power, but she never expected that she could deal with the pacifist so easily.

More importantly, why is the sorcerer here? What is her purpose?

“You’ve probably heard of me, Miss Bonnie. I have something I’d like to discuss with you.” Turning her head, Mashiro said to Bonnie with a light smile.

Chapter 185: The Dragon's Choice

Bonnie's eyes were filled with wariness. Although she had heard of the infamous "sorcerer" Mashiro, she knew nothing about her intentions. Especially now, this mysterious woman had suddenly appeared before her, saving her but also making Bonnie uneasy.

“Cooperation?” Bonnie frowned, her voice wary. “What exactly do you want?” Mashiro smiled slightly, her expression playful, as if she had everything under control.

“What I want is very simple—to overthrow the World Government’s rule. And you, Miss Bonney, you yearn to change this twisted world, don’t you?” Bonney was silent for a moment, her heart already wavering.

She knew she was not strong enough to change the world on her own, especially since her father, Bartholomew Kuma, was now the head of the World Government.

She never gave up on her plan to rescue the bear, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find a suitable opportunity. "You know my father," Bonnie said coldly, this was what she cared about most.

Mashiro nodded, a knowing glint in his eyes, and said, "Bartholomew Kuma is currently being used as a weapon by the World Government, right? If you're willing to cooperate with me, I can help you rescue him, and not only that, I can also restore his consciousness."

"Regained consciousness?" Bonnie's heart raced as she stared at Mashiro in disbelief.

When Xiong was converted into a pacifist, she always believed that her father's consciousness had been completely erased. She tried to contact the Revolutionary Army, but learned that even they were powerless to help.

All of this plunged her into helplessness and despair, and now, Mashiro's offer to help her regain her father's consciousness has caused Bonnie to waver strongly.

"How can I trust you?" Bonnie's tone was still full of doubt.

Mashiro smiled gently, raised her hand forward, and the vines, as if obeying her command, slowly contracted from the ground and finally disappeared into the air. "You have no other choice now, do you?" Her voice was full of confidence.

Bonnie clenched her fists, then finally sighed. "Fine, I promise, but you better not lie to me."

Mashiro nodded, her eyes gleaming with an unfathomable light, and said with a smile, "Very good, Miss Bonnie, you've made a wise choice." Then, without saying another word, Mashiro vanished from Bonnie's sight in a flash.

Bonnie was somewhat shocked by her speed, but she had no time to think about it and could only follow Mashiro's guidance to prepare for Mary Geoise.

She knew in her heart that the woman before her was far more terrifying than she had imagined, but she also represented hope. Over the next two days, Mashiro secretly led Bonnie into Mary Geoise.

Having once impersonated a Celestial Dragon, she knows the terrain and layout of this place like the back of her hand.

She easily bypassed the seemingly impenetrable defenses, leading Bonney deep into the heart of the Celestial Dragons' territory. The nights in Mary Geoise were as tranquil as ever, but beneath this calm lay countless conspiracies and darkness.

Mashiro led Bonnie into a secret underground facility, a place specifically used to imprison bears. Her plan had been in preparation for a long time; now it was simply a matter of putting it into action.

“It’s just ahead,” Mashiro whispered, her eyes flashing as black flames ignited, opening the hidden iron door. Bonnie held her breath, nervously looking ahead.

In the dim light, she saw Bartholomew Bear.

This man, who once commanded respect across the world, is now bound to the wall by massive iron chains, his body covered in wounds and lifeless.

Bonnie's eyes welled up with tears, a mixture of anger and sorrow welling up inside her, almost causing her to burst into sobs. "Father..." Bonnie's voice trembled, her legs barely able to support her weight.

Mashiro stepped forward, her gaze sweeping over the bear's body, and said softly, "His consciousness hasn't been completely erased. If I use some methods, I can help him return to his original state."

Bonnie suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with urgency and hope: "Can you really do it?" Mashiro said no more, and her pale green Rinnegan appeared.

The power of the Human Realm is activated.

A soft light filled the air, and vines rose from the ground once more, gently wrapping around the bear's body. As the light continued to pour in, the bear's body began to move slightly, and the confusion in its eyes gradually faded. "Father?" Bonnie stepped forward, looking at the bear anxiously.

Suddenly, the bear's eyes twitched slightly, then slowly opened.

His own light gradually became clearer, as if he were awakening from endless darkness.

“Bonnie.” Bear’s voice was low and hoarse, seemingly filled with endless pain and exhaustion.

Bonnie's tears welled up instantly. She rushed forward and hugged the bear tightly, sobbing uncontrollably, "Jiaoqin, I've found you!"

Mashiro stood aside, observing the scene with a faint smile. Her plan had taken another important step forward.
