XX-level Hokage

At that time, she was sitting upright on the sofa, looking down at the three of them, and said: "Take off your clothes." The past as a slave was something Hancock didn't want to recall.

"Please... help me take it off." After saying this, she seemed to have used all her strength and was about to collapse. Then she closed her eyes tightly and waited for Mashiro to do so.

"Take off what?" Hancock opened her eyes upon hearing Mashiro's voice, looked up at him weakly, and said, "Didn't you say we had to take...take off our clothes?"

"I just want to see the Celestial Dragon's hoof; just show me your back," Mashiro said softly, much to Hancock's regret.

Mashiro slowly said, "Of course, I have no objection if you want to take your clothes off." Hancock bit her lip, lowered her head, and her face turned bright red.

What's with all this internal monologue she's having...? And she even went so far as to ask Izumi-sama for...?!

Hancock recalled the incredibly shameful things she had just said, and for a moment she felt like dying.

She had no idea what Mashiro was thinking about her or how he saw her. His gaze made her feel like she was being pricked by thorns, and she just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

At this moment, Hancock was unaware of the significant change that had occurred in her mindset, as if she had returned to the time when she was Mashiro's maid in Mary Geoise.

Immediately afterwards, Mashiro slowly reached out and grasped Hancock's wrist. Hancock was startled and wanted to back away, but then suddenly felt that she should not back away, so she let Mashiro hold her hand.

She was trembling slightly, feeling both nervous and shy.

Mashiro gently pried open Hancock's tightly clenched fist with her hand, which was gripping Hancock's wrist; her palm was covered in sweat.

But Shiro's palms were dry and a little cool, and when they were clasped together, Hancock felt that her damp palms became very comfortable.

Chapter 160: Lovesickness (Part 2)

Why is Lady Izumi holding my hand...? Hancock's heart was pounding, a blush spread from her face to behind her ears, and goosebumps rose all over her body. Being held by Mashiro made her feel a tingling sensation all over her body.

"Aren't you afraid now?" Zhen Zi said slowly.

Hancock lowered her head even further, her face flushed red, and she remained silent.

Immediately afterward, Mashiro gently unbuttoned Hancock's waist, and as the cheongsam opened, Hancock's fair skin was revealed. On her smooth and delicate back, an ugly mark was very conspicuous, like some kind of scratch.

"It must have hurt a lot back then, considering you were all very young," Mashiro said softly, gently stroking the Celestial Dragon's hoof.

As Mashiro's hand caressed her, Hancock suddenly felt a strong tingling sensation, followed by a feeling of weakness creeping over her.

"Do you want to remove this mark?" Mashiro asked softly. "Hmm?" Hancock was somewhat taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, a green light emanated from Shiro's palm and entered Hancock's body.

A slight coolness washed over her, and Hancock felt a strange sensation on her back. A moment later, Mashiro withdrew her hand and then lightly snapped her fingers. "Ice Mirror: Ice Mirror"

An ice mirror appeared out of thin air in front of Hancock. "What is this?" Hancock asked, puzzled.

But then, her expression turned to one of utter shock. She covered her face with her hands and saw Mashiro in the ice mirror, as well as her own back.

However, unlike the ugly memory, it was an incredibly fair and smooth back.

“I think Hancock, you should be even more perfect,” Mashiro said, gently wrapping her arms around Hancock’s waist. A moment later, Hancock, fighting back tears, looked at Mashiro with eyes filled with gratitude and love. “Thank you so much, Izumi-sama!”

“Don’t be so polite. After all, you are my personal slave.” Mashiro lifted Hancock’s chin with a finger and said somewhat frivolously.

This time, Hancock didn't feel any repulsion. In front of Mashiro, she couldn't possibly put on that empress-like demeanor. She could only blush slightly and nod gently.

Mashiro was very satisfied with Hancock's attitude. After all, who wouldn't want a lover who is a queen on the outside and a slave on the inside? Later, Mashiro followed Hancock and removed the "Celestial Dragon's Hoof" from her two younger sisters as well.

On her way back to Amazon Lily, Hancock kept thinking about Bai's figure.

She recalled that unusual contact over and over again. Mashiro's mysterious hand, gentle yet possessing an irresistible power, not only dispelled her years of pain but also gave rise to a completely new emotion within her.

This feeling was completely different from her previous experiences, and she could no longer shake it from her heart.

Hancock's once proud demeanor seemed less resolute, even somewhat bewildered, in the eyes of her subordinates. The residents of Amazon Lily noticed her change, but none dared to question her.

Hancock is the invincible and beautiful goddess in their hearts, but now she always has a trace of inexplicable sorrow and anxiety on her face, as if something important is weighing on her heart.

The day after returning home, Hancock's body began to show abnormal reactions.

Her chest heaved violently, her breathing became rapid, an unnatural flush rose on her face, and she was so weak that she could barely stand.

She knew she was suffering from "lovesickness," an incurable disease. The women of Snake Island all knew this well—when their love was not reciprocated, the condition would worsen and could even lead to death.

"Sister, are you alright?" Sandersonia and Marigold looked at Hancock, their eyes filled with worry.

They had always followed their sister, betting on her every decision and battle, but they had never seen Hancock so vulnerable. "I... Hancock gripped the sheets tightly, her breathing becoming increasingly rapid, yet she knew perfectly well that the source of her illness was Mashiro. However, she couldn't bring herself to admit this feeling—the pride and contradiction of being an empress."

Hancock's health began to decline, and Sandersonia and Marigold exchanged a glance before deciding to contact Mashiro. While Hancock was suffering from lovesickness, Mashiro was also dealing with another thorny problem—Bonnie's Blue Stonescale Disease.

This is an extremely rare disease. When researching the condition, Mashiro discovered that blue scaly disease not only affects the surface of the body, but also penetrates into the blood circulation and bones, causing great pain and weakness to patients.

Bonnie's health had already become extremely fragile due to the disease, and her stamina depended almost entirely on the medication provided to her by Vegapunk.

"The situation is more complicated than I imagined," Mashiro stood by Bonnie's bedside, her brow furrowed. She had tried several methods to alleviate Bonnie's condition, but with little effect. "Can you even cure me?" Bonnie leaned against the headboard, a hint of impatience in her eyes.

Although she expressed her doubts, deep down she still held a sliver of hope for Mashiro. After all, this guy had defeated Kaido and united with the Revolutionary Army.

She not only captured the car, but also a powerful enemy like Akainu. Most importantly, she rescued her own father.

"Don't worry, I said I would heal you, and I will." Mashiro's eyes were firm, and her palm emitted that green light again, trying to use the power of chakra to penetrate Bonney's body and repair her damaged tissues.

The treatment was extremely slow. Every time the green light entered Bonnie's body, she would feel a sharp pain, which made her grit her teeth and sweat drip down her forehead.

“This disease is incurable by Vegapunk,” Bonney said through gritted teeth, her voice weak but filled with resentment. “What makes you think you can do it?” “Because I have a power that none of you possess.” Mashiro smiled slightly, the green light growing even brighter.

Her chakra is not just a means of healing external injuries; it can penetrate into every corner of the human body, repairing and even reshaping cells.

Bonnie's expression gradually changed from pain to shock. She could feel the changes inside her body. Although the process was extremely slow, she did feel her long-lost ease and strength gradually returning.

"How about it? Do you think you can still survive?" Mashiro asked with a light laugh, her tone leaving no room for doubt.

Bonnie stopped speaking, but her eyes became complicated, her attitude towards Shinji seemingly shifting from suspicion to absolute trust. After all, she hadn't even placed much hope in herself for surviving.

Just as Mashiro was treating Bonney, Robin brought her a message: Hancock's sisters had sent her a distress signal, saying that Hancock had contracted a strange illness.

“It seems I’ll have to put Bonnie’s treatment on hold for now and go to Amazon Lily,” Mashiro said, standing up.

Chapter 161: All Nations (Part 1)

Bonnie watched as Mashiro prepared to leave and couldn't help but say, "Um, you're not done healing me yet." Mashiro turned and glanced at her, saying, "Don't worry, there's plenty of time. I won't let you die."

After leaving Bonney's room, Mashiro quickly boarded a ship and headed towards Amazon Lily. When Mashiro arrived at Amazon Lily, Hancock was too weak to get up.

Her eyes were glazed over, her face pale, as if she were trapped in an endless nightmare. She knew she was on the verge of death, but she was powerless to stop it.

Mashiro entered her room and, upon seeing this scene, didn't show much emotion. He went straight to Hancock's bedside and slowly sat down.

“Izumi… Lady Izumi…” Hancock murmured weakly, her voice so faint it was almost inaudible.

Mashiro reached out and gently stroked her cheek, her eyes deep, and said softly, "What's wrong with you, Hancock? Are you no longer able to serve me?"

Upon hearing these words, a flicker of guilt and pain flashed in Hancock's eyes. She desperately tried to raise her hand, but it fell limply to her side. Just when she thought she would die in this endless torment of unrequited love, Shinji once again released that familiar green light.

"You can't die yet, I still need you." Mashiro's voice was incredibly firm as green light slowly flowed into Hancock's body, like a gentle stream dispelling the pain in her chest.

As the green light flowed in, Hancock's lovesickness gradually lessened, and her breathing became steady.

Finally, she slowly opened her eyes and saw Mashiro's incredibly familiar face, a face that made her heart race. "Thank you, Lord Izumi," Hancock whispered, her eyes slightly red.

“Don’t be so polite. Don’t forget, you’re mine.” Mashiro said softly, her tone full of possessiveness. “Mmm.” Surprisingly, Hancock didn’t seem to mind Mashiro’s words and could only nod, her face flushed.

What cured lovesickness was never Mashiro's medical ninjutsu, but rather the fact that Mashiro used medical ninjutsu to treat Hancock.

"Hancock, is there anything you want to say to me now?" Mashiro said softly, seemingly having sensed something. Hearing this, Hancock's face turned even redder, and she turned to look at her two younger sisters.

"Sandsonia, Marigold, you two can leave now. I have some personal matters to discuss with Lady Izumi." Hancock said softly. "Yes, sister." Sandsonia and Marigold exchanged a glance, then nodded and left.

After Sandersonia and Marigold left, Hancock looked at Mashiro. Mashiro was still smiling, quietly watching Hancock.

"Lord Izumi... I'm here."

"I think I've fallen in love with you," Hancock said nervously, closing her eyes.

A moment later, Hancock felt a soft hand gently caress her face, and she slightly opened her eyes.

“Me too, Hancock. I’ve already said it, you’re mine.” With that, Mashiro lowered her head and kissed Hancock’s lips.

Hancock's face turned even redder, but she still responded awkwardly. Three days later, Mashiro left Amazon Lily.

Sitting on the Seastone warship, Mashiro pondered his next move.

"Should we go to Dressrosa first to check on the bear's progress, or go back to Ohara to continue Bonnie's treatment, or..."

After some thought, the Seastone warship finally sailed towards Ohara.

One week later. The International Settlement.

A sea stone warship is sailing in the pastry channel.

"Lord Mashiro, these islands all look so delicious!" Carrot said, drooling as she looked at the surrounding islands.

"This is the territory of Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors. She has an extreme fondness for sweets, so she used her powerful influence and abilities to transform many islands, such as Cocoa Island, Jam Island, Nut Island, Cheese Island, Cookie Island, Candy Island, Flavor Island, Liqueur Island, Wheat Island, Kokikoko Island, and Soft Island," Mashiro said softly.

As she spoke, Mashiro once again marveled at the wonder of this world.

Such an island could never exist in the ninja world. You must know that sweets in the ninja world are extremely precious and the variety is incredibly limited.

“I see. Then she must be a good person,” Carrot said with a smile. “Why do you think that?” Mashiro asked curiously.

"Because Shirahoshi herself said that people who like sweets are good people." Carrot replied with a smile. "That's so typical of Shirahoshi." Mashiro stroked Carrot's ear and said with a laugh. "Hehe."

"Speaking of which, are we really going to cause trouble for Big Mom right now? I think it's her birthday soon, and all her executives will be going back to Whole Cake Island," Bonnie said nervously.

“That’s exactly what I want—they all together. I don’t have the time to deal with Big Mom’s children one by one,” Masashi said with a smile. “How confident,” Bonnie couldn’t help but retort.

"So that's how Bonnie sees me?" Mashiro reached out and stroked Bonnie's head, asking softly.

"Anyway, just be careful." Bonnie didn't resist Mashiro's pat on the head, only saying it with a slightly flushed face.

"So Bonnie was really worried about me? How cute." Mashiro gently pinched Bonnie's cheek as she spoke. "Who, who was worried about you? I was just afraid that if you died, no one would treat my illness," Bonnie retorted, slightly flustered. Mashiro remained silent, simply watching Bonnie quietly.
