XX-level Hokage

"This is the true power of the Illusionary Room," Im explained. "It can reverse time and change what has already happened; of course, this power comes at a price."

"What price?" Mashiro asked.

“Every time the power of the Phantom House is used, one of the sealed demons escapes,” Im said. “These demons generate Devil Fruits, granting the user immense power, but also affecting the user’s temperament. The more powerful the demon, the greater its influence on the user’s temperament. Furthermore, as the Devil Fruit user dies, those demons return to the Phantom House. As the number of demons in the Phantom House increases, the sea becomes more turbulent, eventually leading to a flood that submerges everything.”

"Because the flood was inevitable, and you already had the Sky Island as your escape route, you no longer cared about the lives of other humans at sea," Mashiro said. She was skeptical of the truth Im told her, but she couldn't question it, after all, the Lunaria race had been wiped out.

Im nodded: "You're very smart, that's right."

Upon hearing this, Mashiro chuckled and said, "You Celestial Dragons are indeed a bunch of selfish and self-serving people. For your own benefit, you are willing to put the whole world in danger."

Im did not refute, but just stared coldly at Mashiro.

"So, tell me, where is the Illusion Room?" Mashiro continued. A flicker of wariness crossed Im's eyes: "What do you want?"

“I want to change this world,” Mashiro said firmly, “and the Phantom House is the key.”

Im was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "The Phantom House is hidden deep within Mary Geoise, guarded by the most elite troops of our Celestial Dragons. You cannot obtain it."

Mashiro smiled slightly: "How will you know it won't work if you don't try?"

Im gave Mashiro a deep look, then suddenly said, "I can tell you the location of the Phantom House, but on one condition." "What condition?" Mashiro asked.

“Spare my people,” Im said. “They are innocent.”

Mashiro paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "You seem to care quite a bit about your people." "I just don't want to see them dragged into this war," Im said.

Mashiro nodded: "Okay, I promise you, as long as they don't resist, I won't hurt them."

Of course, Mashiro certainly wouldn't know, but it was hard to say about the others under her command. Im nodded, then took out a map from his pocket and handed it to Mashiro.

“This is a map of the Phantom House,” Im said. “I hope you will keep your promise.” Mashiro took the map, glanced at it, and then put it in her pocket.

“I will,” Mashiro said. “However, I have one more question.” “What?” Im asked.

"Why did you Celestial Dragons stop Joy Boy in the first place?" Mashiro asked. "What he did should have been very beneficial to you."

Im paused for a moment, then said, "Nika is a demon who craves freedom. Influenced by him, Joy Boy also cares a great deal about freedom. Therefore, if we really let him unite with the four seas, it will be a huge blow to our rule."

“I see.” Mashiro nodded. “It seems that you Celestial Dragons were already prepared for the complete destruction of Skypiea.”

Im did not deny it: "We Celestial Dragons have ruled this world for far too long. Just in case, we must prepare." Mashiro smiled slightly: "Then, your end is near."

Im stared coldly at Mashiro without saying another word. Mashiro turned and left, followed closely by the Seraphim.

Im watched Mashiro's retreating figure, a complex expression flashing in his eyes. Meanwhile, deep within Mary Geoise.

Mashiro led the Seraphim to the location of the Illusion House.

The Phantom House is located at the deepest part of the underground treasure vault of Pangu City. Inside is a vast underground space, with a huge black stone door standing in the center. Pushing open the door, Mashiro stepped inside.

The moment you step inside, all the light around you disappears, leaving only pitch blackness where you can't see your hand in front of your face.

But this posed no obstacle for Mashiro; her Byakugan could ignore the darkness. She walked deeper into the Phantom Room.

Deep within, tiny points of fluorescence flickered.

Where the fluorescence gathered, a huge, eerie tree stood.

This tree grew in an incredibly twisted way, so it was more like an aggregate of withered vines than a tree.

Each vine bore a peculiar fruit. Hundreds of vines were neatly arranged, bearing hundreds of fruits.

Chapter 204: Successfully Completed

"So this is the origin of Devil Fruits. Not bad, not bad at all. It can be used to mass-produce Jonin or even Kage-level soldiers." Muttering to himself, Mashiro continued walking deeper into the Phantom House.

In the deepest part of the room, a stone compass exuding an ominous aura stood quietly in the air.

This compass is the core of the Illusion House; it can unleash demonic power, manipulate time, and grant immortality. "Everything should end now."

Speaking softly, Mashiro reached for the compass.

The next day, the morning sun shone through the towers of Mary Geoise onto this land that had once symbolized power and terror. Mashiro stood on a balcony, looking down at the ancient city.

She once thought this place was the center of the world, a symbol of invincibility. Now, it's just the stage for her final game.

She has achieved her goal: defeating the world government and overthrowing the former power structure.

Now, only one thing remains—a true end and a beginning. Then Mashiro disappeared from the spot.

A few hours later. At the port of Wano Country.

All of Mashiro's factions are preparing to act.

Mashiro turned around and looked at Kaido, Big Mom, Dragon, Sengoku, Akainu, Tsuru, and the other "loyal" generals who had just entered. Today, she would announce a new world order, the establishment of the Ocean Kingdom.

"Kaido, Linlin, today is a new beginning." Mashiro smiled, her voice calm and unhurried. "Are you ready?" Kaido replied, "I've been ready for a long time."

BigMom nodded, her bulky frame radiating a powerful aura: "The world has always needed someone like you to take control, Mashiro-sama."

Mashiro looked at Ryu, who had his usual serious expression.

“Then let’s set off, our final battle.” Mashiro turned to her “subordinates,” her gaze sweeping across their faces. The so-called final battle was merely a demonstration by Mashiro for the others.

Therefore, the opponents of pirates, the Revolutionary Army, and the Navy are all White Zetsu summoned by Mashiro.

Mashiro referred to these White Zetsu as "the power of demons summoned by the Celestial Dragons." Ultimately, victory was easily achieved.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Mashiro turned and walked to the center of the Pangu City Hall, before a huge golden throne. It was where Im had once sat, and it was also the symbol of power in this world.

Mashiro sat down, her fingers lightly tapping the armrest of the throne, and said, "Today, we will change everything. All dynasties and all power will belong to the Ocean Kingdom. From now on, the four seas will no longer be divided; they will become a unified world."

Every word she spoke was unquestionable, and everyone listened with bated breath.

Then, Mashiro scanned everyone below and continued, "The Ocean Kingdom will consist of five parts: pirates, the Navy, member states, the Revolutionary Army, and the Ocean Government."

Every part has its responsibilities and rights, and every part will work together to maintain peace and order in this world.

She first looked at Kaido and Big Mom, then continued, "First of all, the Pirate Alliance will be responsible for managing all pirates, ensuring that they do not harm innocent civilians while freely exploring the seas."

Kaido, Big Mom, you will be in charge of the Marine Alliance, assisting the Marines in monitoring pirates.

Kaido replied, "I understand." BigMom nodded.

"Secondly, the Navy will be responsible for maintaining peace in the four seas and ensuring the security of the main maritime nations. Akainu, you will serve as the Navy's Grand Admiral, and Sengoku and Tsuru will serve as your advisors." Mashiro's gaze shifted to Akainu, her voice low, "You will shoulder this responsibility."

Akainu stood ramrod straight, his resolve unwavering. "For the future of our maritime kingdom, I will do everything in my power." "The Revolutionary Army will also be responsible for overseeing our maritime kingdom, ensuring that no one abuses their power."

"Dragon, Kuma, you will assume leadership roles in the Revolutionary Army, ensuring that power is not corrupted." Mashiro looked at Dragon, whose expression remained unchanged except for a newfound trust in his eyes.

Long nodded slightly, "We will protect the freedom of this new world."

"Finally, the maritime government will become the power center of the new world, responsible for legislative, financial, and military affairs."

Nico Robin will serve as Minister of Justice, Stussy as Minister of Finance, and Toki and Katakuri as Ministers of the Army. "Mashiro's gaze lingered on each of the new appointees; in their eyes was not fear, but only faith and expectation."

"The five major maritime powers will work together to ensure peace and order in the world."

Our goal is not only to break free from the shackles of the old world, but also to create a completely new order—a world where no one is oppressed.

Mashiro paused for a moment, and a silent atmosphere filled the hall. Finally, she slowly spoke: "From today onwards, the Ocean Kingdom will become the new world overlord, and no one in the four seas will dare to act arbitrarily."

"We will no longer be pirates and marines at odds with each other. We will be one family, a new world." Mashiro's gaze softened, but her voice remained firm. "Here, we will no longer distinguish between you and me, but only between friend and foe."

She waved her hand gently, pointing to both sides of the hall. Outside, thousands upon thousands of people poured into the entire square of Mary Geoise to witness this historic moment.

"Now, I declare the Maritime Kingdom established!"

As Mashiro made his announcement, the naval soldiers, pirates, representatives of member states, and even those who had once stood on the opposite side in the square began to cheer in unison.

This place is no longer a symbol of the old world, but a new beginning. Mashiro stood up and smiled slightly at the crowd.

She finally achieved her "ideal," but she knew that this was only the first step. The real challenges were just beginning. She had to ensure that the new order would be stable, and all of this would depend on how she guided the fusion of the five forces.

Over the next few days, Mashiro began to integrate the various parts of the Ocean Kingdom.

She met with Kaido, Big Mom, Dragon, Akainu, and others to develop new laws and regulations to ensure the effective operation of each department. Nico Robin and Stussy, meanwhile, began working on building a new financial system to address the economic problems left over from the old world.

Meanwhile, Yan and Katakuri began rebuilding the military system to ensure the Ocean Kingdom's defenses were strong and effective. However, the real challenge did not come from the outside, but from the power balance within the Ocean Kingdom itself.

Every faction has its own interests, and how to coordinate these interests so that the entire kingdom can operate in a unified manner has become a problem that Mashiro must solve.

“Shiro, your throne is becoming more and more secure.” Dragon’s deep voice filled with emotion after a meeting. “But, as you know, internal conflicts are more difficult to handle than external ones,” Bear added.

Mashiro smiled slightly, "I know, that's precisely why we need everyone's efforts. Only when everyone strives for a common goal..."

Only maritime powers can truly prosper.

“You have done very well,” the dragon’s voice was calm and firm, “but do not forget that the Revolutionary Army will always be watching over you.”

“I know.” A determined glint flashed in Mashiro’s eyes. “That’s why we must establish a transparent and fair system from the very beginning.” Ultimately, after a series of complex negotiations and decisions, the Ocean Kingdom, under Mashiro’s leadership, finally got on the right track.

Although there have been challenges and conflicts along the way, as time goes on, more and more countries and forces are willing to join this new order.

Mashiro, meanwhile, remained seated on the throne that had once belonged to Im, surveying the new world she had created with her own hands.

Then, after a long time, I opened the system panel. [Name: Hinata Mashiro]

"Everything is perfectly accomplished." Sitting on the throne, Mashiro chuckled softly. Then, everything turned pale.

Chapter 205: The Crossroads of Two Worlds

"Finally here, System?" Mashiro asked softly, looking at the familiar surroundings. A pale purple sphere then appeared out of thin air in the pure white space. "You're amazing! Host! Your rating is S!" 086 exclaimed excitedly.

"Then I should be able to go back now, right?" Zhen Zi said calmly, showing no surprise at the result.

“Of course! After you return to your own world, the two worlds will soon intersect,” 086 replied. “Mm,” Mashiro nodded slightly.

"Then goodbye, host." After 086 finished speaking, the paleness around him began to fade. Mashiro opened her eyes and found herself sleeping in bed, with Kaguya lying beside her.

Looking at Kaguya's sleeping face, her pale skin paired with long blue and white hair, her features were exquisite, yet her expression revealed a faint air of nobility and tenderness.

Familiar yet beautiful.

Without thinking, Mashiro caught Kaguya's slender waist and buried his head in Kaguya's neck. "What's wrong, Mashiro-sama?" Kaguya woke up, looking at Mashiro with concern in her milky-white eyes.

"It's nothing, I just had a really long dream and suddenly felt a bit tired," Mashiro said. "I see."

Kaguya nodded gently, then turned and hugged Mashiro, pulling her into a tight embrace. "It has been an incredibly long journey."

Mashiro gently closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. This time, she slept very soundly.

In the vast depths of the universe, two completely different worlds quietly intersected due to some unknown force. This was a miracle that transcended time and space, and a turning point in the fate of both worlds.
