XX-level Hokage

As they continued to rise, fog began to rise, and only the red earth and sky in front of them could still be seen clearly. Everything else was a blur. Seeing this, Mashiro activated his Byakugan.

The Byakugan can still function in this world, but its effectiveness is greatly reduced because the people in this world do not have chakra.

It continues to rise.

An hour later, Mashiro arrived above the Red Line.

Standing atop the summit, one is surrounded by almost entirely clouds and mist. The thickness of the Red Earth Continent also exceeded Shinpaku's expectations, estimated to be two to three thousand meters.

Floating towards the other side, Mashiro surveyed her surroundings with her Byakugan. "What's this?"

Mashiro saw something strange.

A tree covered in feathers, very short, about one meter tall, with a strangely shaped fruit at the top, which looks like a combination of a cloud and feathers.

Arriving at the tree and looking at the strange fruit, Mashiro muttered to herself, "This must be a Devil Fruit unique to this world." She reached out and plucked the fruit, and the tree trunk instantly turned into smoke and disappeared.

Looking at the fruit in her hand that was strangely soft, Mashiro opened the system panel.

[Bird-Bird Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Cloud Seed, Chongming Form: After consumption, one can possess some of the abilities of the legendary divine bird Chongming, such as the ability to fly through the clouds and create rain, and to drive away evil beasts. Looking at the information, Mashiro opened the detailed information about Devil Fruits.]

[Devil Fruit: It is the embodiment of a sea demon. Eating it grants different abilities, but as a price, the eater is rejected by the sea and cannot...]

Devil Fruit abilities are divided into three categories: Paramecia, Zoan (including two rare Mythical Zoan types and Ancient Zoan), and Logia. Devil Fruit abilities are unique; all Devil Fruits are singular. At any given time, there are no fruits with the same ability, only fruits with similar abilities.

Unless the user dies, the Devil Fruit they ate will reappear. When the user uses their power, their body, clothing, and accessories will all change accordingly.

Devil Fruits grant their users superhuman strength.

"What a pity. I originally wanted to try out the unique power of this world, but since there are side effects, I guess I'll pass. Being rejected by the sea, I don't want to add an absolute weakness to myself for no reason," Mashiro said with some regret.

After storing the Devil Fruit in her personal storage space, Mashiro continued flying forward. Half an hour later, Mashiro arrived at the edge of the Red Line.

Looking at the boundless sea before him, Mashiro muttered to himself, "Is this the East Sea?"

With that, Mashiro swiftly flew towards the sea. Five days later.

Barati, a floating restaurant, is located in the waters off the East China Sea.

It is shaped like a giant ship with fish-shaped figureheads at both ends, and the entire ship can be transformed into a combat mode.

Baratie is the most famous restaurant in the East Blue. Many people come here specifically to taste the delicious dishes made by the owner and head chef, Zeff. Even important figures in the Navy come here to eat.

Mashiro gently landed on the edge of the restaurant.

This world is far stranger than Mashiro imagined, with sudden changes in climate and weather, strange creatures that appear out of nowhere, and all sorts of strange ships.

Two days ago, Mashiro found an island and used the Berries she obtained from robbing a pirate ship along the way to rest in the island's town for a day, and also bought a few changes of clothes.

What surprised Mashiro was that she went to see the town's mayor and the naval base next to the island, and their luck value was only 20.

After using illusion magic to control the two, and obtaining some specific information about the surrounding sea, Mashiro left the island. After a day of searching, Mashiro found this place: the sea restaurant Balatai.

According to the mayor and the lieutenant general, Baratie is the most likely place in the vicinity to encounter powerful individuals. Furthermore, Mashiro genuinely wants to try the unique cuisine of this world.

Seemingly quite surprised by Mashiro's sudden appearance from the sky, a waiter who was cleaning rushed into the restaurant.

A moment later, a middle-aged man with two golden braids, wearing a very tall chef's hat, and a wooden prosthetic leg on his right foot came out.

The man's face was somewhat fierce. He looked at Zhen Bai, paused for a moment, and then slapped the waiter with his chef's hat, saying: "George, is this the strange person you were talking about? This beautiful lady is clearly a guest, isn't she?"

“But, Mr. Zeff, she really did fly down from the sky,” George said, scratching his head, sounding somewhat aggrieved.

"What's the fuss about? Go clean up the trash in the kitchen." Zeff slapped George on the head and snapped. "Yes, boss." George didn't dare argue back and ran to the kitchen.

“I’m very sorry, he’s new here and a bit immature,” Zeff said.

Looking at Zeff, Mashiro opened the system panel. [Name: Zeff]

Gender: Male Age: 67

Affiliation: Commoner; Three-color Haki: Armament Haki

Luck value: 40 Approval rating: 0

This was somewhat unexpected for Zhen Bai. As a chef, his luck value was actually higher than that of a town mayor and a vice admiral of a naval base.

As the owner of the Baratie restaurant, Zeff was once a pirate himself, known as "Red-Leg" Zeff. Therefore, he knows the rules of the pirate world well. He doesn't ask too many questions if he can avoid it. He is just a restaurant owner. Whether they are pirates or marines, as long as they don't cause trouble, they are all guests.

“This is indeed my first time here. To be precise, this is my first time even in the East Blue. I used to live in the North Blue,” Mashiro said softly. “The North Blue,” Zeff seemed to be thinking of his past, his expression becoming somewhat nostalgic and complicated.

But it only lasted a few moments before Zeff burst into laughter, saying to Mashiro, "Beautiful lady, welcome to Baratie. This must be your first time here."

"Guest, as long as Pelé is sufficient, Barrati will certainly not disappoint you."

“I’m looking forward to it,” Mashiro replied with a smile.

"This way, please." Zeff led Mashiro into the restaurant.

Watching Zeff's retreating figure, Mashiro's eyes held a complex expression. Her experiences along the way had led her to discover a significant difference between the two worlds.

Compared to the world where Mashiro exists, the people in this world seem to be more optimistic, whether they are pirates, marines or civilians. This optimism is not due to the social environment, but more so to the culture.

Walking into Baratie, Mashiro casually found a seat. As soon as she sat down, a young man with blond hair and curly eyebrows came over with great enthusiasm, holding a menu, his eyes almost popping out of red hearts.

"Oh, beautiful lady, it's a great honor to meet you today. May I ask what you would like to eat?" Sanji said with affection. Mashiro was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and his chivalrous spirit was at its peak.

Taking the menu from Sanji, Mashiro felt a strange urge to laugh; it was the first time she'd ever encountered such enthusiastic expression.

"That'll do then." These were all dishes she'd never heard of before. Sanji casually ordered a few and handed the menu back. "Please wait a moment, my princess." With that, Sanji took the menu and headed towards the kitchen.

As it turned out, they ran into Zeff, who hit Sanji on the head with his hat.

"Damn it, didn't I tell you to help out in the kitchen? Why are you out here again?"

"Mind your own business, you old geezer!" Sanji yelled angrily. The result was that Sanji threw another punch.

Subconsciously, Mashiro looked at Sanji's back and opened the system panel. The next second, Mashiro's expression turned strange. [Name: Vinsmoke Sanji]

Gender: Male Age: 19

Affiliation: ? Three-Colored Aura: None Luck Value: 95 Acceptance Rate: 60

What surprised Mashiro first was that a restaurant waiter had a luck value of 95, and what surprised Mashiro even more was that his self-esteem had reached 60.

What Mashiro didn't know was that a large part of the recognition was based on favorability, and given Sanji's personality, his favorability towards Mashiro was immediately maxed out the moment he saw her.

"What a pity, I'm not interested in men," Mashiro muttered to herself.

She vaguely felt that recognition was definitely related to liking, so she always wanted to find a woman with high luck to try it out.

Chapter 5: Nami

Soon, the food that Zhenbai ordered was delivered.

Looking at the appetizing food on the table, Mashiro started to taste it.

Unlike the world of Naruto, the food in this world is characterized by large quantities and a lot of meat; it's hard to believe that this is the amount for one meal.

However, the taste was indeed very good, with excellent color, aroma, and flavor. It's just that there were too few vegetables and the portions were too large. It's easy to get tired of eating too much of it. It seems that it will take her a long time to get used to this kind of diet.

After finishing her meal in Baratie, Mashiro left the sea restaurant. As for the waiter with a luck value of 95, she would deal with him when she ran out of luck value.

After flying at sea for a long time, the sun in Zhiniu was particularly hot.

Just then, a pirate ship appeared in the distance, its pirate flag consisting of a white flag with a pink heart printed on the side.

Seeing this, Mashiro quickly flew towards the direction of the pirate ship, the Alvida Pirates.

Alvida, looking in the mirror, said, "I am truly the most beautiful woman in the world. How can such a beautiful woman exist?"

Hearing Alvida's words, Coby, who was mopping the floor nearby, almost vomited. "What's wrong, Coby! You have a problem with that?!" Alvida snapped.

"No, no, Lady Alvida is the most beautiful woman in the world," a pink-haired boy with glasses hurriedly waved his hand.

“Why do I feel like you’re lying to me?” Alvida said, reaching out to hit him. “Boss, heavens, there’s something in the sky!” Just then, a crew member suddenly exclaimed. Alvida looked up at the sky and saw a figure rapidly approaching. Before she could react, the figure landed on the deck.

Seeing this, Alvida quickly grabbed her spiked club and led her crew to surround them.

"Are you the captain of this pirate ship?" Mashiro asked softly, looking at Alvida in front of her.

Looking at Mashiro, especially her face, Alvida instantly became jealous and said, "That's right, I am Alvida with a bounty of 500 million Berries, 'Iron Rod Alvida'! Who are you? How dare you appear on my pirate ship?"

Under normal circumstances, Alvida should have directly ordered her subordinates to capture Mashiro and enslave her to be humiliated. However, because she saw Mashiro fall from the gate with her own eyes, she became more cautious and did not dare to launch an attack directly.

"That's really impressive," Mashiro said with some admiration, looking at Alvida.

In this world, both men and women are exceptionally tall. Based on her observations over the past few days, no man in this world is shorter than 1.8 meters, and no woman is shorter than 1.7 meters.

If we had known earlier, Mashiro's height was only about 1.7 meters. It was only because of the awakening of the Otsutsuki bloodline that she grew a few centimeters taller. Even so, she was already very tall among Mashiro's harem.

"What are you talking about?!" Alvida asked, somewhat angrily.

Just then, all the crew members around Alvida were bound by an unknown force and thrown overboard! Seeing this, Alvida felt extremely strange and hurriedly grabbed her spiked club to attack Mashiro.

But the moment Alvida got close, her body was thrown away by an invisible repulsive force, and then a suction force came, and Mashiro's hand grabbed her neck.

"I just finished eating, and I'm in a pretty good mood right now, so I'll give you a chance to live. Or do you not want this chance?" After saying that, Mashiro threw Alvida onto the deck.

After falling onto the deck, Alvida quickly got up and jumped into the sea without looking back, swimming straight into the distance. The other crew members saw this and hurriedly swam after her.

Walking quietly towards the warehouse, Mashiro spotted the pink-haired boy in the gap between the deck and the warehouse. Seeing that Mashiro had discovered him, the pink-haired boy quickly curled up into a ball.

“You can’t see me, you can’t see me…” Coby muttered to himself, his body trembling. “What’s your name?” Mashiro asked softly.

"My name is Coby." Coby quickly answered when Mashiro asked him. [Name: Coby]

Gender: Male Age: 16

Affiliation: ? ? Three-color aura: None Luck value: 80 Approval rating: 10

"Coby? Were you captured and brought onto this ship by that Alvida?" Mashiro asked softly.

"Yes, yes, I went out fishing and got on the wrong ship, so Lady Alvida forced me to stay in the pirate crew to do odd jobs," Coby replied.

"Do you remember where your home is?" Mashiro continued to ask. "I don't remember," Coby shook his head.

“Then I’ll take you to the nearest naval base. You can ask the navy there if they can help you find your way home,” Mashiro said softly.

"Really?!" Coby could hardly believe his ears, asking with unwavering hope. "Believe it or not," Mashiro said calmly, turning and walking into the warehouse.

Upon arriving at the warehouse, one finds it filled with enormous wooden crates and weapons scattered haphazardly.

“Come out,” Mashiro said softly. There was no response.

"Aren't you coming out?" Mashiro walked straight to the corner of the warehouse, in front of a wooden crate, and continued speaking. Still, there was no response.

With a soft chuckle, Mashiro reached out and tapped the box. "Knock, knock, knock."
