XX-level Hokage

“Miss Mashiro, no, I should call you Master Sorcerer.” Stussy seemed to have known of her arrival all along, and smiled slightly, his eyes filled with tenderness and understanding. “I didn’t expect you to come in person.”

"You knew it was me?" Mashiro asked with great interest.

“Although you could probably guess, after all, you’re the only one who’s caused such a huge commotion on this sea in the last year,” Stusi said with a smile.

"Compared to your original self, this clone is much smarter," Mashiro said admiringly. "Original self? Clone?! How did you know that?" Stussy asked疑惑地. Looking into Stussy's eyes, Mashiro activated her [Visual Memory] ability.

A moment later, Stussy rubbed his forehead. "So that's how it is."

Mashiro nodded slightly and cut to the chase: "So, Stussy, are you planning to side with Big Mom, or help me?" Stussy chuckled, a glint of mystery in her eyes: "Mashiro, although I have a good personal relationship with Reirin, that doesn't define my stance."

It will always remain unchanged.

Mashiro smiled gently: "Very well. In that case, I need you to do something for me." Stussy looked at her thoughtfully: "You want Big Mom?"

That's right. "Mashiro made no attempt to hide her intentions, a hint of confidence in her eyes, "I've already defeated Kaido, Big Mom is my next target."

"Obstacles. Once I subdue her, my plan will be one step closer to success."

Stussy smiled slightly, seemingly unfazed by her ambition: "Lingling is indeed a powerful ally... but she is not easy to deal with."

A cold glint flashed in Mashiro's eyes, and a faint smile appeared on her lips: "That's why I need your help, Stussy. After all, your status allows me to move around this fortress with ease, doesn't it?"

Mashiro's goal was never to defeat Big Mom, but to subdue her and the entire Big Mom Pirates. Stussy nodded and chuckled softly, "I understand. What do you want me to do?"

Mashiro chuckled and said, "I have already made preparations, and her mental state is unstable right now. As long as I can find the right opportunity to make her unable to resist, I will naturally have a way to make her submit to me."

Stussy nodded, and after a moment's thought, said, "Then I can help you keep some of her offspring occupied, so they won't have time to attend to their mother for the time being. But this can only buy you a short time. Big Mom's other children are not worried."

Mashiro smiled and said, "That's enough. I'll face her directly, when she's at her weakest."

Stussy smiled slightly: "In that case, I'll buy you some time." With that, she turned and walked out of the room, whispering, "I'll inform Perospero and Smoothie to deploy soldiers and increase patrols along the island's edge to divert attention. The rest is up to them."

Watching Stusi's departing figure, Mashiro's eyes narrowed slightly as she plotted her next move.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Whole Cake Island, Big Mom roared furiously, gripping the massive longsword "Napoleon" in her hand, her eyes blazing with rage. "Who?! Who dares to disrupt my birthday banquet!" she howled, the powerful sound waves causing her offspring present to bow their heads, barely daring to look directly at her.

Look into her eyes.

Smoothie stepped forward, trying to soothe her mother's emotions: "Mom, Katakuri has disappeared. We are searching for the intruders. Perhaps someone tried to attack us while the tea party was in progress."

BigMom's anger intensified as she coldly glared at Smoothie: "Whoever it is, bring them back! I want them to know that trespassing on the egg..."

Katsujima was the last mistake he made!

Just then, Mashiro's figure quietly appeared on a tall tower.

She stood in the shadows, coldly watching BigMom's fury in the square.

"Charlotte Linlin, after today, you will submit to me." Mashiro murmured to herself, her eyes flashing with an unyielding determination. She slowly raised her hands, silently gathering chakra, the light of the Rinnegan in her eyes gradually intensifying.

At that moment, BigMom suddenly felt a powerful sense of oppression coming from above. She looked up sharply, her pupils contracted, and she saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

"You are...!" BigMom's eyes widened in shock, her tone laced with disbelief and anger. Mashiro coldly looked down at her: "Charlotte Linlin, I'll give you a choice: submit to me."

BigMom roared, his longsword "Napoleon" suddenly glowed, and he charged towards Mashiro like a storm.

At the same time, Mashiro smiled slightly, waved his left hand, and instantly unleashed "Shinra Tensei," the powerful shockwave instantly repelling Big Mom's attack.

"Don't even think about hurting me with such petty tricks," Mashiro said coldly, his eyes changing again as the light of his Rinnegan grew even brighter. BigMom roared and swung his longsword fiercely, unleashing a storm of pressure upon Mashiro.

An unparalleled rage flashed across her face as she roared, "Little brat, how dare you challenge my power!" This was also why Mashiro found it troublesome; after all, Charlotte Linlin's mind wasn't exactly normal.

Mashiro showed no hesitation. Her figure flashed lightly in the air, dodging the attack. She then quickly closed the distance, and her chakra condensed into a huge tree root that suddenly wrapped around BigMom.

"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!"

Countless enormous tree roots burst forth from the ground, instantly surrounding BigMom and completely restricting her movements. BigMom roared in an attempt to break free, her domineering aura erupting and snapping some of the tree roots in two.

However, Mashiro's offensive did not stop. With a slight twitch of her fingers, countless tree roots wrapped around BigMom again, locking her tightly in place.

"You think this can trap me?" BigMom roared, slamming his hands together and expanding his entire body into a massive aura that instantly shattered the surrounding tree roots.

She roared and charged at Mashiro, her fist slamming down with overwhelming power. Mashiro coldly snorted, her hands quickly forming a hand seal: "Fang Xiang Guan Yin!"

The powerful gravity instantly pulled BigMom's body into the air, causing her to uncontrollably move closer to Mashiro.

Just then, Mashiro's left hand swiftly rose, and countless rocks and fragments of earth surged up from all around, rapidly converging towards Big Mom. "Super Planetary Devastation!"

The powerful gravity completely enveloped Big Mom's body, and the colossal celestial body gradually took shape in the sky. Big Mom's roar was carried away by rocks and dirt.

The immense pressure submerged them, and they gradually disappeared into the night sky.

Chapter 165: All Nations (The End)

Just above the Whole Cake Island shrouded in night, the giant rock sphere sealed within the "Super Planetary Devastation" seal suddenly began to tremble violently. Tiny cracks spread from the surface of the sphere, and the rock was continuously shattered by the impact. Finally, with a loud bang, Big Mom emerged from the sphere, like a raging war god, her entire body enveloped in the power of the Soul Fruit, her eyes glaring angrily at Mashiro.

BigMom roared furiously, "A mere brat dares to challenge me? Shinbai, you're so arrogant!" BigMom was completely out of her mind at this point.

She unleashed the full power of her Soul Fruit ability, flames and lightning swirling around her, and the sky was torn apart by her domineering aura, a terrifying sense of oppression enveloping the entire plaza.

The flaming sword "Prometheus" and the lightning spear "Zeus" appeared on the left and right sides respectively. With a sudden wave of her hand, the flames and lightning seemed to come alive and frantically attacked Mashiro.

Faced with the fierce attack, a cold smile flashed in Mashiro's eyes.

She deftly traced several elegant arcs in the air, dodging most of the attacks. Then, with a gentle wave of her hand, an invisible chakra barrier instantly opened, blocking all the incoming flames and lightning.

"Is that all you've got, Big Mom?" Mashiro laughed sarcastically, her tone laced with disdain. "Compared to Kaido, your attacks are far too monotonous."

BigMom roared through gritted teeth, her voice shaking the surrounding buildings. Her face flushed red with rage, and then she swung her hands violently, unleashing the full power of the Soul-Soul Fruit. The dense flames and lightning in the sky surged towards Mashiro like a raging tide.

She herself, like a ferocious beast, wielded her longsword and palm strike, directly slashing at Zhen Zi.

Mashiro smiled slightly, advancing instead of retreating. Her Rinnegan suddenly shone with a sharp light, and she formed hand seals, releasing a chakra barrier at an incredible speed, instantly neutralizing the flames and lightning.

Then she stretched out her right hand, and chakra condensed into countless rapidly spinning wind blades, pointing directly at Big Mom. "Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!"

The wind blades roared out, rushing towards BigMom's front with unstoppable force, tearing through the air with the whirlwinds they created, a truly awe-inspiring sight.

Although BigMom sensed its power, she did not back down. With a roar, she swung "Napoleon" with both hands, shattering the wind blades one by one, sparks flying everywhere.

The two clashed fiercely, neither willing to give an inch.

Mashiro's attacks were precise and swift, each strike carrying deadly intent, while Big Mom, with her powerful aura and physical defense, deflected Mashiro's relentless onslaught.

Although she was repeatedly repelled, she quickly recovered and continued to launch a strong counterattack.

In the midst of the fierce battle, BigMom's thick body was like an impenetrable wall, and any attack seemed unable to leave any substantial damage in front of her.

Mashiro pondered, "Her defensive capabilities are indeed extraordinary, almost stronger than Kaido's in some ways. In terms of attack alone, unless she directly uses Yin Yang..."

Kill her, otherwise it will be difficult to bring her down completely.

Just then, BigMom suddenly stood up again, roaring as she launched an even fiercer attack on Mashiro. Flames and lightning intertwined once more, sweeping towards Mashiro like a raging storm.

Mashiro took a few steps back, her hands gently forming a hand seal in the air, preparing to unleash her skill again, when she suddenly sensed a familiar figure quietly approaching from behind.

That's Stussy.

BigMom was completely unfazed by her sudden appearance. She knew perfectly well that Stussy was a clone of Bajin, so she had no defenses against Stussy.

Stussy moved lightly and silently, approaching BigMom from behind.

A sinister smile played on her lips, her eyes gleaming with a chilling resolve. She lowered her head and bit down on Big Mom's neck. Caught off guard, Big Mom froze. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared down at Stussy, her gaze filled with anger and confusion. "You... Ba Jin! How dare you!" Big Mom's voice trembled with blood loss and shock, but her body grew weaker and weaker.

His movements gradually became stiff.

Stussy gazed at her calmly and whispered coldly, "Lingling, I'm sorry, but today, the dominance of this island must be handed over to someone else."

BigMom's body gradually lost its support, and she collapsed heavily to the ground, finally passing away.

Stussy smiled slightly, raised his head and met Mashiro's self-light, exchanging a tacit understanding. Mashiro slowly walked forward, looked at the fallen Big Mom, and gently curled the corner of her mouth: "Not bad, Stussy."

Stussy calmly replied, "I've simply come to terms with reality. Now, this island is under your control. What are your plans next?" Mashiro chuckled, "Big Mom's power will naturally be used for my purposes. Her pirate crew has many loyal offspring; I must completely control them."

Only then can I truly make Big Mom's power work for me. Besides that... I also need her Soul-Soul Fruit ability.

Stussy nodded slightly, looking at Mashiro with a hint of inquiry: "I've always been curious, just how big are your ambitions? To defeat Kaido,

Taming Big Mom is a goal that far exceeds what ordinary people can imagine. What is your ultimate goal?

Mashiro gazed silently at the night sky, her eyes as deep as the sea, and said coldly, "What I seek is the true freedom of this ocean. The Poneglyphs will guide me to the truth of the world, and overthrowing the World Government and liberating the oppressors of the world is my ultimate wish."

Of course, all of this is fake; her only goal is to take over the world for herself.

Stussy gave a slight nod, then smiled gently: "I see. Your goal is indeed extraordinary. But you'd better be careful, the World Government..."

We will never sit idly by and watch your ambitions take hold.

Shinji smiled calmly: "Their existence is nothing but the filth of history, which I will completely eradicate. As long as I control enough power, the World Government's rule will eventually collapse."

Stussy nodded, a hint of admiration and a barely perceptible sense of awe in his eyes: "Alright, in that case, I will try to secure more resources and intelligence support for you. What are your plans for dealing with BigMom's offspring?"

Mashiro smiled slightly, a cold glint in her eyes: "They must completely submit. If Smoothie, Perospero, and other high-ranking combatants dare to..."

"If they resist, then I wouldn't mind letting them sleep forever on this island."

Stussy nodded slightly: "Understood. However, to ensure a perfect ending to this charade, we need to give Big Mom's offspring a suitable reason to explain her disappearance."

Mashiro slowly stood up and said calmly, "Then tell them that Big Mom has temporarily left the island to hunt down the intruders, and I will carry out her orders."

Smoothie and the others won't easily give in, but once they witness my power, they'll naturally submit. And when Big Mom reappears, it will signify the complete surrender of the Big Mom Pirates.

Stussy clapped his hands lightly, a hint of pleasure in his smile: "It seems you've already planned this out. From now on, I will cooperate with you to manipulate the island's mysteries, gradually bringing Big Mom's power completely under your control."

Mashiro smiled calmly, gazing into the distance as if she could already see the victory to come: "Thank you, Stussy. Now, let's witness the change of this world."

Chapter 166: Black Zetsu of the New World

Hyuga Mashiro gazed at the unconscious Big Mom, exhaled softly, and the Rinnegan in her eyes turned into the milky white Byakugan.

“Well done, Stusi,” Mashiro said softly. “Thank you for the compliment,” Stusi replied with an elegant smile.

“Then it’s up to you,” Mashiro said softly. “Give Bigmon’s offspring a reason to leave Whole Cake Island temporarily.”

Stussy nodded slightly, then gracefully left Mashiro's side, disappearing at the end of the plaza. Mashiro's eyes flickered slightly as she watched Stussy's retreating figure.

She could clearly sense that although Stussy had temporarily shown loyalty to her, she was still a dangerous double agent at heart.

However, Mashiro wasn't too worried about her betraying her. As a very intelligent woman, she knew what to do and when to do it. She immediately turned around, activated Shinra Tensei, and lifted Big Mom's enormous body up.

In the dark prison, the Seastone Lock was tightly fastened to Big Mom's wrists and ankles, and the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit was completely sealed at that moment.

Mashiro lowered herself and gazed at Big Mom's face. Her skin was pale from the poison, and her breathing was heavy. Stusey's poison was undoubtedly deadly, but Mashiro did not intend to let her die like this.

"It seems Stussy's methods are quite clever; the poison didn't penetrate very deeply," Zhenri chuckled. She's certainly a smart woman.

Immediately afterwards, Mashiro quietly gazed at BigMom's body, gently forming hand seals and activating a medical ninjutsu, slowly and precisely searching for traces of toxins within her body.
