XX-level Hokage

"Lord Kuma, you've regained consciousness now," Mashiro said calmly. "Are you willing to help me take control of the Revolutionary Army and overthrow the World Government?" Kuma's gaze fell on Mashiro. After a moment of silence, he nodded slightly: "Sorcerer, I know you. You're already a big shot among the pirates..."

They still want to control the revolutionary army.

“I have my reasons. As long as you agree to this request, just like Bonnie and I promised each other, I can save you and cure Bonnie’s illness,” Mashiro said earnestly.

Kuma looked at Mashiro, his heart filled with turmoil. He knew very well that letting this person control the Revolutionary Army would bring disaster, but he had no choice. He had already lost Ginny, and he absolutely could not lose Bonnie as well.

“Okay, I understand, I promise you,” Xiong said softly. “The right decision,” Zhenbai said with a smile.

From this moment on, regardless of whether there were dragons or not, the Revolutionary Army was in her hands. Bonney's eyes flashed with a complex emotion upon hearing this.

After pushing the bear into the Revolutionary Army's ranks, she went to the prison alone. Deep inside the prison was the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon. Upon seeing Makoto, Dragon remained silent.

"You know what? I've rescued Kuma from the World Government," Mashiro said casually. Upon hearing this, Dragon's expression was first shocked, then became complicated.

"This once again proves the incompetence of the Revolutionary Army you lead. I was able to rescue Kuma, so if I had been in charge of the Revolutionary Army back then, I certainly could have rescued Ginny as well," Mashiro continued.

To this, Long had no reply.

“Next, I will push for Kuma to become the new leader of the Revolutionary Army. He’s qualified, isn’t he?” Mashiro said with a smile. “What do you plan to do?” Ryu looked at Mashiro, his gaze sharp and cold.

Mashiro smiled calmly. "It's simple. Next, we're going to launch an unprecedented attack, with the goal of completely overthrowing the foundations of the World Government in Mary Geoise."

Long frowned slightly and said, "Mariangia is heavily guarded; acting rashly would be tantamount to suicide."

“Of course I know that,” Mashiro chuckled. “But I have made ample preparations, not only with the Revolutionary Army, but also with the power of the Pirate Alliance. You should have heard that I defeated Kaido and am now joining forces with one of the Four Emperors, Whitebeard and Big Monk.”

To reiterate, I invite you to join the operation, to represent the Revolutionary Army and cooperate with my actions. Of course, it's fine if you refuse; the bear will be better positioned to fulfill your role.

Dragon remained silent for a while, clearly assessing the feasibility of Mashiro's plan.

But he knew that the Revolutionary Army's current situation and Mashiro's cooperation might be the only hope for overthrowing the World Government. "Alright, I agree," Dragon finally decided. "Our Revolutionary Army will fully cooperate with your plan."

Since the Revolutionary Army is already tied to Mashiro no matter what, it's better to handle things herself. Mashiro nodded slightly, her eyes flashing with a calm and profound light.

Her plan was gradually taking shape, and the most crucial step now was to unite the forces of the pirate alliance and the Revolutionary Army to launch a general attack on the World Government.

Chapter 186: Boa Hancock

At the Revolutionary Army's secret base, Dragon's promise signified a new phase in Mashiro's plan. She had captured Akainu and three vice admiral candidates, and successfully secured the Revolutionary Army's support.

At this moment, she has already begun planning her next step: expanding her pirate alliance and consolidating more power. Her goal remains clear—to overthrow the world.

Governments, controlling the historical record, hold the fate of the entire world in their own hands.

After completing her plan in Mary Geoise, Mashiro settled Kuma in Dressrosa, while she herself left with Shirahoshi, Shirley, Yamato, York, and Bonnie, preparing to head to Ohara.

As for Camie, Mashiro entrusted her to Rayleigh and Shakky.

Rayleigh agreed to take care of her for the time being, after all, Rayleigh was well aware of Mashiro's deep-seated scheming.

“Her ambitions are far greater than those of ordinary pirates,” Rayleigh said to Shakky. “She has an ambition that even we older generation can hardly match.” With her group, Mashiro returned to her base—Ohara.

Ohara, the island that was destroyed by the World Government for researching the Poneglyphs, has been rebuilt under Mashiro's leadership.

In the heart of the island, Mashiro established a new town, where many scholars and Mashiro's companions gathered. Shirahoshi, Yamato, York, and others were deeply impressed by the mysterious atmosphere of Ohara.

Shirahoshi is the princess of Fishman Island. She is kind and innocent, but she always feels a little uneasy when she senses Mashiro's calmness and deep plans.

She looked up at the towering trees and magnificent buildings, thinking to herself, "Lady Mashiro's world is far beyond my comprehension."

Yamato, on the other hand, seemed quite at ease. As Kaido's adopted daughter, she was used to the environment of the strong, and her identification with Mashiro grew stronger, gradually making her her goal.

"I will fight for the future of this world," Yamato told himself firmly.

After spending a day in Ohara, introducing Shirahoshi, Shirley, York, and Yamato to Robin and the others, Mashiro left Ohara again the next day aboard a Seastone warship.

This time, she plans to go to Amazon Lily to recruit the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock.

Amazonian lily, also known as "Daughter Island," is, as the name suggests, an island inhabited only by women.

The island is inhabited by a female warrior race called "Kuja". The country they established on the island is also called "Amazon Lily", and the current emperor is Boa Hancock, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Furthermore, Amazon Lily has always been a mysterious and exotic place, surrounded by giant sea kings in the calm zone, making it difficult for outsiders to approach.

However, Shiro's ship was equipped with Seastone technology, which allowed her vessel to safely traverse the Calm Belt. Although, for her, having the ship or not made little difference.

Upon arriving in Amazon Lily, Mashiro witnessed firsthand this legendary land of women.

The enormous sculptures, the bustling market, and the streets filled with female warriors all exuded the unique charm of this place. Mashiro's gaze swept over everything, and she had already formed an assessment in her mind.

She knew that Boa Hancock wasn't just famous for her beauty; her immense strength and Conqueror's Haki were the foundation of her power in the New World. Mashiro's arrival put Amazon Lily on high alert, and the island's female warriors quickly assembled, guarding various key locations.

As Mashiro's ship approached, Hancock's two sisters, Marigold and Sandersonia, stood at the harbor to greet it. "Who are you?" Marigold asked sternly, a hint of hostility in her eyes.

Mashiro calmly stepped off the ship, smiled slightly, put her hands behind her back, and said indifferently, "I am Hyuga Mashiro. I have come here to meet your king."

Boa Hancock.

Upon hearing this, the two sisters exchanged a glance, greatly alarmed. They dared not make a move, for this enemy was unlike any they had ever faced before.

“Please come with us,” Marigold said, leading Mashiro toward the main palace.

In the main palace of the Amazon Lily, Boa Hancock sat regally on her throne, her beauty unparalleled, radiating an irresistible charm, despite her...

His gaze was cold, yet still commanded respect.

Since becoming the leader of the country, she has rarely trusted outsiders, especially those from the outside world.

The moment Mashiro stepped into the palace, Hancock's aura locked onto her, a strange emotion flashing in her eyes. "You are the legendary sorcerer?" Hancock's voice came coldly, carrying a sense of distance.

“That’s right, Pirate Empress, I think we have a common goal.” Mashiro smiled, completely unfazed by Hancock’s imposing aura.

Hancock raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly. She had heard of Mashiro's reputation and had even been amazed by the mysterious woman's methods.

When Mashiro walked up to her, Hancock suddenly felt a familiar presence. "You..." Hancock stared at Mashiro, seemingly recalling something.

“That’s right, Hancock,” Mashiro said calmly, “you should remember by now.” With that, Mashiro instantly deactivated the [Memory] ability on the Boa sisters. Immediately afterward, Hancock froze, memories flooding back into her mind like a tidal wave.

Years ago, she and her sisters were captured and taken to the Celestial Dragons' slave market. A Celestial Dragon grabbed them and threw them into a gladiatorial arena. Just when they were about to lose hope from the torture, a mysterious Celestial Dragon appeared and rescued them. That past is the darkest memory in her heart, but she will never forget the face of her savior.

"You..." Hancock's voice began to tremble, and the coldness in her heart seemed to melt away instantly. She couldn't believe that the person who saved her back then would appear in front of her, and that Mashiro was not only her savior, but also someone even more powerful than her.

"I never expected it to be you... Lord Taoquan Palace," Hancock murmured, the coldness in her eyes gradually fading, replaced by a complex emotion.

Mashiro chuckled lightly, looking at the Pirate Empress before her, and said calmly, "I know you have always longed for freedom, and I can bring you true freedom."

"Join the pirate alliance I've found, Hancock, and let's overthrow this corrupt world together." Hancock gazed at Mashiro, her emotions growing increasingly complex.

She had long been disgusted by the corruption of the World Government. Although she relied on her status as a Shichibukai to protect Amazon Lily, she never truly trusted the government.

Now, Mashiro's appearance has given her a completely new choice. What's more, this woman is the benefactor she has been searching for.

Hancock's defenses crumbled completely, and she could no longer control her emotions, whispering, "Lord Izumi...I..."

Hancock slowly descended from the throne and stood before Mashiro, her eyes filled with tenderness. "Since you are the one who saved me back then, I am willing to do anything for you."

Mashiro nodded, gently lifted Hancock's chin, and said with a faint smile, "Very good, Hancock, welcome to my pirate alliance." With Hancock's addition, Mashiro's pirate alliance grew even stronger.

She has now gathered Shirahoshi, representing Fishman Island; Boa Hancock, the Pirate Empress representing Amazon Lily; Yamato, Kaido's daughter representing the Beasts Pirates; and Bonney, representing the Revolutionary Army.

Chapter 167: Lovesickness (Part 1)

Mashiro looked at Hancock in front of her.

She has a tall and slender figure of 191cm, with a great figure, long jet-black hair styled in a Hime cut, a slightly wide forehead that is smooth and flat, deep blue eyes with slender and delicate corners, almond-shaped eyes that reveal a hint of indifference, a high and straight nose, small nose, soft lips without a single wrinkle, and a pair of snake-shaped gold earrings below her ears. Her purple patterned cheongsam is particularly eye-catching.

It's safe to say she truly deserves the title of "World's Most Beautiful Woman." [Name: Boa Hancock]

Gender: Female Age: 29

Race: Human; Faction: Pirate

The three types of Haki: Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and Conqueror's Haki.

Devil Fruit: Paramecia Type - Love-Love Fruit Weapon: None

Height: 191cm Luck Value: 85 Approval Rating: 80

[Paramecia-type Love-Love Fruit: The ability to charm men, women, and children of all ages, and to petrify them; it also allows one to materialize and physically transform kisses.]

"Hancock, after I left Sabaody Archipelago, how did you return to Amazon Lily, and how did you become a Shichibukai?" Mashiro asked, looking at Hancock in front of her.

"After Lord Izumi left, I stayed in the Sabaody Archipelago with Rayleigh and Shakky for a while, and then returned to the Sabaody Archipelago by taking the Flower Lady's ship," Hancock replied.

After Hancock returned to Amazon Lily, the three sisters, not wanting others to know about the mark on their backs, claimed that they had defeated the monster Gorgon of the Central Sea at the end of an adventure, but were cursed by Gorgon and had petrifying eyes grow on their backs. If they took off their clothes and exposed their eyes, everyone nearby would be petrified.

Another year passed, and with the joint recommendation of Shakky and Granny Hancock, Hancock became the Empress of Amazon Lily and the captain of the Kuja Pirates.

From then on, in order to make the act more convincing, a protective barrier was set up whenever Hancock took a bath, prohibiting anyone from entering Kuja Castle.

Thanks to the battles she experienced in Mary Geoise, the power of the Love-Love Fruit, and the guidance she received from Rayleigh, Hancock's strength became incredibly formidable.

On his first voyage as captain of the Kuja Pirates, he defeated a notorious pirate and two Marine vice admirals.

Coincidentally, the Seven Warlords system had just been established at that time, and after witnessing Hancock's power, Sengoku decided to invite her to become a Seven Warlord.

To protect Amazon Lily from invasion, Hancock accepted the World Government's invitation to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea. "May I show you? The Celestial Dragon's Hoof," Mashiro suddenly said.

"You mean... now?" Hancock asked nervously. Mashiro didn't speak, just looked at Hancock quietly.

"Okay." Hancock nodded somewhat awkwardly and began to take off her clothes.

At this moment, Hancock felt that what she was doing was absurd, but she also had some strange feelings.

If she had to give a reason, it would be that she had never seen any hope in anyone else in this regard before, but Izumi-sama gave her a vague feeling.

To strip naked in front of others.

Her pride would absolutely not allow her to do such a thing.

When Mashiro asked her if she was willing to continue, she somehow nodded as if possessed. She felt she must be crazy, otherwise how could she do such an absurd thing?

Mashiro sat casually on the bed, calmly gazing at her, and stopped talking, as if waiting for something.

Waiting for what... waiting for me to take off my clothes? Hancock's heart trembled. She was extremely resistant to this kind of thing, but looking at Mashiro's expression, if she kept wavering and going back on her word, Izumi-sama would definitely be very disappointed in her, and might even hate her because of it. Hancock didn't want Izumi-sama to hate her, and she didn't want to do anything that would annoy Izumi-sama.

But...but...Hancock felt utterly confused.

"Since you're so unwilling, don't force yourself." Mashiro spoke again, her tone flat. But this flat tone made Mashiro's heart race. Was Izumi-sama getting tired of him?

"I don't... Lord Izumi... I, Hancock, spoke urgently, yet I didn't know what to say."

"I...I wasn't unwilling...I just kept rubbing the hem of my clothes with my hands, my eyes downcast, not daring to look up at Mashiro. Every second, she was gathering her courage to make a decision."

"Lady Izumi..." Hancock's voice trembled as she spoke, her chest heaving as if the words were suffocating her. In truth, given Hancock's personality, she shouldn't be so hesitant.

However, at this moment, Mashiro's words and actions reminded her of someone: the woman, Kanryu, who had bought the three sisters.
