XX-level Hokage

I'm getting tired of eating big meat buns every day. Maybe small steamed buns would taste good too. When Mashiro saw this scene, she suddenly thought of this, but it was just a thought.

York and Bonnie, on the other hand, were already soaking in the hot tub.

The two of them were facing Xinan directly, and Xinan could see what Hinata had described—it was floating.

Perhaps because of her "binge eating," York has a very slender waist, which makes her breasts look exceptionally majestic.

As a woman who had already been... well, let's just say she wasn't the most imposing among the group of women. Robin wasn't present; she had many other things to attend to.

Yamato, too, was tasked with working with Shu and the others to eliminate the various naval branches across the four seas. Meanwhile, Shirahoshi was nestled in Mashiro's arms.

The delicate skin touched Zhenbai's skin, and the slightly cool fishtail gently brushed against Zhenbai's calves. It felt very comfortable, and also...

"This is so comfortable!! I wonder if there's a ship big enough to fit a public bath like this?" Nami suddenly exclaimed.

Vivi, who was diligently rubbing Nami's back, replied with a smile, "There definitely will be. The sea is so vast, and there are so many unimaginable things in it!"

Whether it's due to their personalities or some other reason, Michita and Nami have a very good relationship. Hearing this, Nami turned to look at Michita.

Being watched by Nami, Raikita asked nervously, "What's wrong?" "An exchange!" Nami replied with a sweet smile.

"No need!" Raikita refused resolutely; Nami always had this quirk.

Chapter 188: Old Age

Prussian waters.

Four figures flew down from the sky and landed horizontally on a giant pink bird.

"If I had known you had the weapon given to me by Lord Mashiro, I should have assigned you the sea patrol mission a couple of days ago, saving me from wandering around at sea for so long," he said coldly to Yamato beside him.

In response, Yamato replied, "I only just figured out how to use this weapon today. You know, I've always used a spiked club." Katakuri, standing nearby, said, "You two, stop arguing. Today's objective is extremely difficult."

As their goals were achieved step by step, Katakuri and Shutsu had gone from being forced to obey Mashiro's orders to tacitly obeying them, since pirates have always admired the strong.

As they were talking, they suddenly saw a blue figure flying from the fleet of ships in the sea below. They realized it was a person, but covered in blue flames.

Upon seeing this person, Men's eyes flickered, and orange flames began to burn on his body. "Marco..."

As members of the same Yonko crew, Smoke and Marco had crossed paths more than once. Sabo spoke up, "The person we've been looking for has arrived."

Marco's expression turned serious upon seeing the group: "You?!"

He was well aware that the group now belonged to the Pirate Alliance, and rumors about the "sorcerer" and the Pirate Alliance had been circulating for days. "Where's Whitebeard?" Yu asked, looking at Marco.

Marco paused for a moment, his blue flame wings flapping. He glanced at Katakuri, Yamato, and Sabo beside him; none of them had a stronger aura than him.

The four of them then immediately noticed a huge body, six meters tall, floating on the sea nearby, lying quietly on the surface as if sunbathing.

"That's Whitebeard." Yamato looked at the other's enormous body with astonishment.

This was the first time she had ever seen Whitebeard. Because of Kaido, she had barely left Onigashima since birth.

There were many people on the ship, and they all became wary after seeing Katakuri, Yamato, and Sabo, but Marco reassured them and they did not make any rash moves.

Apart from the sound of the waves, the area became extremely quiet. The person lying on the sea seemed not to have noticed them, or perhaps he was asleep, and made no move for a long time.

Sabo glanced at the cigarette beside him, and seeing that he didn't intend to speak, he calmed down and waited.

Finally, the giant made a move, stretching on the sea as if it had just woken up from a nap, and then suddenly leaping up from the sea. The huge black shadow swept through the air and landed heavily on the ship, causing the ship to rock.

On the pirate ship, Whitebeard walked straight to the seat that had been prepared and sat down, flanked by crew members. "Oh, some familiar faces have arrived. Are you here for drinks?" he said with a hearty smile, looking at the group.

Without speaking, Katakuri stepped forward and said, "Whitebeard, we have come on the orders of Lord Mashiro."

Whitebeard Jikko merely glanced indifferently at Katakuri, then said to Yan, "Looks like you guys aren't here to drink." This dismissive behavior made Tenwa frown slightly.

She didn't care much about Whitebeard's previous title of "Strongest in the World," and now in her heart, there was only one strongest in the world. Katakuri said, "Whitebeard, we have no ill intentions; we have come to negotiate with you in good faith."

Upon hearing this, the white-bearded man smirked, his massive frame seated in a chair as he looked down at the two: "Oh? Sincerity?"

"Do you know who we are now?" Zi Hu asked immediately. Zi Guang flashed and said, "Pirates."

Whitebeard continued, "A person who lives on the high seas cannot tolerate wearing locks, so when you come with true sincerity, I will invite you to drink on my ship."

Katakuri said in a deep voice, "Whitebeard, are you determined to become an enemy of the Pirate Alliance and the Ocean Kingdom?"

Upon hearing this, Whitebeard suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter was so powerful that it echoed across the sea, and the crew on the ship joined in the laughter.

This attitude caused Yamato's face to darken instantly. Her Conqueror's Haki spread out, and a huge pressure instantly spread out, carrying a strong airflow that directly overturned many people on the ship to the ground.

Marco's expression changed slightly at the sight of such power; this seemingly young girl actually possessed such strength.

Whitebeard's eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing this. The next second, a terrifying, mountain-like pressure surged towards Fire Gate, resisting the power emanating from him. "Smoke, if you want to fight, I can loosen up your muscles," Whitebeard said.

Chi said, "This world is different from the world you originally lived in. Under the leadership of Lord Mashiro, a new order will be established, and you old guys will either submit or perish."

Whitebeard coldly replied, "Are you threatening me?"

Chi replied, "I'm just informing you that the Pirate Alliance must encompass all the pirates that suddenly appear on the sea before the establishment of the Ocean Kingdom."

In response, Zi Hu said indifferently, "How could someone who fears death go to the sea?"

Upon hearing this, Sabo questioned, "If all pirates were like you say, why would there be a Seven Warlords of the Sea? The original intention of the Pirate Alliance was..."

Establishing new rules for pirates, with Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, as their leader, is a good thing for all pirates.

Katakuri then added, "Lord Mashiro plans to form a pirate alliance that will accept all pirates, and he wants you to serve as one of the four branch chairpersons of the alliance."

Before Katakuri could finish speaking, he sensed a flash of cold light and instantly became alert.

Whitebeard suddenly swung his large sword, pointing it towards the four men, and the rest of the crew also assumed fighting stances. Seeing this, Yan remained calm; he had anticipated this.

"Bai Hu Zi, do you know how many people will die because of your refusal?" Yan said coldly.

Marco, standing in front of Whitebeard, chuckled, "What a big hat." Whitebeard replied indifferently, "Yan, if we don't leave now, war will be the only option." Whitebeard feared no one and no power.

"This is troublesome." Sabo frowned slightly. Yamato also gripped his spiked club tighter.

The waves roared, and suddenly someone on the boat shouted angrily, telling the two to get out.

Katakuri ignored these people and remained silent for a long time before saying to Yamato Sabo beside him, "Let's go. There's no need to take action for now."

Immediately afterwards, Senbonzakura led the four of them into the air. They transformed into a pink shadow and disappeared.

"Hyuga Mashiro, the Pirate Alliance... Just as Red said, this world will change in ways I can't even imagine." Whitebeard suddenly felt that he had really grown old.

Chapter 188: Annihilation (Part 1)

They swiftly passed through the clouds and returned to the castle where Mashiro was. Mashiro sat on the throne, watching their arrival.

"How did your conversation with Zi Hu go?" Mashiro asked softly.

With Mashiro's current power and influence, she could directly overthrow the World Government. However, she strives for perfection and therefore plans to eliminate the threats posed by Whitebeard and Shanks first.

Yu stepped forward and recounted the whole story: "Whitebeard rejected the proposal to join the pirate alliance, and even knowing our sincerity, he remained very firm."

Mashiro frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then a resolute look flashed in his eyes: "Since he is so stubborn, there is no need to waste any more time. Let Kaido and Dragon join forces to attack the Whitebeard Pirates. For him, his family is the most important thing. As long as we can threaten his crew, he will waver."

Yamato, standing nearby, sounded slightly worried: "But if we really fight, Whitebeard might fight to the death, and such a conflict could result in heavy losses." Mashiro, however, smiled calmly: "Don't worry, the combination of Kaido and Dragon is enough to handle any unexpected situation. Even if Whitebeard refuses to join, we..."

They also have enough power to eliminate it and use the opportunity to install a new Yonko.

Meanwhile, on the other side, after the four left, Whitebeard contacted Shanks using a Den Den Mushi. On the other side of the Den Den Mushi, Shanks' iconic red hair shone brightly in the sunlight.

"Shanks," Whitebeard's voice carried a hint of weariness, "I rejected the pirate alliance's offer, but I need your help. This world is..."

Some unforeseen changes have occurred.

Shanks pondered for a moment, then his tone became serious: "I know things are tense lately; the expansion of the pirate alliance has already affected every sea."

I will immediately lead my men to your location.

Whitebeard put down the Den Den Mushi and looked at the distant horizon: "We cannot allow the freedom of this world to be locked up and restricted." The next day, the morning sun shone on the Prussian seas, and a huge ship quietly sailed in, bringing an uneasy atmosphere. Kaido and Dragon stood at the bow, looking down at the Whitebeard Pirates' fleet.

"Whitebeard!" Dragon shouted, his voice echoing across the sea. "This is your last chance. Join the pirate alliance, or else..." Whitebeard slowly walked onto the deck, his expression calm: "Or else what?"

Kaido grinned, his body suddenly transforming into a gigantic form, his enormous figure blotting out the sky. He said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, we'll sink your fleet to the bottom of the sea today!"

Just as tensions were running high, a sharp sword aura ripped through the sky, accompanied by a powerful Conqueror's Haki that shook the entire area. Shanks, the Red-Haired, arrived just in time with his crew.

“Kaido, Dragon,” Shanks stood at the bow of his ship, his own light blazing, “If you want to harm Whitebeard, you’ll have to get past me first.” A hint of impatience flashed in Kaido’s dragon eyes: “Red-Haired Shanks, mind your own business.”

However, Shanks took a step into the air and immediately released an even stronger Conqueror's Haki, instantly slowing down everyone on the battlefield.

"We cannot allow this world to be bound by chains a second time," Shanks said calmly and firmly. The two sides faced off in the air, undercurrents swirling beneath the surface of the sea, and the tension was palpable to everyone present.

Whitebeard's crew gripped their weapons tightly, ready for battle, while Kaido and Dragon also held their weapons firmly in their hands. At this moment, a storm was rising on the sea, as if foreshadowing an epic battle about to erupt.

The battle began, with Kaido transforming into a dragon and circling in the air, while the dragon attacked Whitebeard with lightning speed.

Undeterred, Whitebeard unleashed his immense strength to clash head-on with Kaido. Their Haki and power clashed in the air as the battle erupted. Whitebeard activated the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power, and the earth seemed to tremble in accordance with his will.

Each swing of the sword was accompanied by a deafening roar, as if the space itself was being torn apart, and the waves were being lifted tens of meters high, forming terrifying giant waves that spread outwards.

Kaido, not to be outdone, used his Azure Dragon Fruit to grant him unparalleled strength and speed.

In the air, he transformed into a gigantic azure dragon, its scales shimmering with a cold light, its eyes burning like flames, filled with a will to destroy everything. Each of his attacks carried the sound of wind and thunder, colliding with Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit power, erupting into dazzling light and deafening roars.

A deafening explosion.

The battle between the two was exceptionally fierce; each clash caused the sky to change color, dark clouds to gather, and lightning to flash and thunder to roar. On the sea, towering waves surged, as if the entire ocean...

The whole world trembled at their battle.

Whitebeard's and Kaido's Haki intertwined in the air, forming invisible barriers that enveloped everything around them. Whitebeard knew Kaido's strength well and dared not be careless in the slightest.

He used the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to compress the surrounding air into sharp blades, which he then fired at Kaido. Kaido, relying on the speed of the Azure Dragon Fruit, nimbly dodged in the air while launching a counterattack, tearing the air apart with his sharp dragon claws to create terrifying tornadoes that swept towards Whitebeard.

The battle between the two reached a fever pitch, with each attack filled with destructive power.

Whitebeard suddenly roared, unleashing the full power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and punched Kaido. This punch seemed to shake the entire world, filling the air with an aura of destruction.

Seeing this, Kaido dared not hold back any longer. He transformed into a blue dragon, opened his massive maw, and unleashed a scorching dragon breath that collided with Whitebeard's fist.

"Dragon's Breath!"

This attack seemed to set the entire sky ablaze, with sparks flying and waves of heat rolling in. On the other side, the battle between Dragon and Shanks was equally intense.

The two are old rivals and are extremely familiar with each other's abilities.

Using the abilities of the feathered serpent god form, the dragon transformed into a giant feathered serpent, its scales shimmering with a mysterious light, its eyes like deep vortexes, filled with boundless wisdom and power.

Shanks, however, gained the upper hand in the battle thanks to his powerful Conqueror's Haki and his unique Observation Haki, "Observation Kill." Every one of his attacks was incredibly precise, as if he could see through the dragon's every move.

However, Dragon, with the speed and power of his Feathered Serpent form, engaged in a fierce battle with Shanks.

The battle between the two was equally awe-inspiring; the dragon's feathered serpent form allowed him to soar freely through the air while unleashing powerful attacks.
