XX-level Hokage

A moment later, the box began to shake, and when it opened, a beautiful girl with brown eyes and orange hair peeked out. She looked at Mashiro and smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"Um, if I said I came here by accident, would you believe me?" the girl said with a smile. Mashiro didn't say anything, but extended her hand to the girl.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have tried to steal your treasure." The girl said hurriedly, seeing Mashiro's outstretched hand. Mashiro gently took the girl's hand and pulled her out of the box.

"Treasure? Take it if you want. I have no interest in such things," Mashiro said calmly.

"This ship must belong to the Alvida Pirates, right?" The girl suddenly looked at Mashiro with some suspicion. She was always ready to run away.

"The Alvida Pirates, this ship is indeed theirs, but it's mine now," Mashiro said with a light laugh.

"You... defeated Alvida?!" the girl exclaimed in disbelief. Mashiro nodded slightly.

Seeing this, the girl breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She could sense that Mashiro meant her no harm, which was why she didn't run away immediately. Whether it was intuition or something else, she could tell that the girl in front of her was a good person.

"My name is Mashiro, and my profession is, well, I'd say, a pirate hunter," Mashiro introduced himself.

"Hello, my name is Nami, and I'm a professional pirate thief." Now that she'd been caught, Nami saw no need to keep up the act.

The moment Nami said her name, Mashiro opened the system panel. [Name: Nami]

Gender: Female Age: 18

Affiliation: Pirates; Haki: None; Height: 170cm

Measurements: 98/58/88cm (J cup)

Luck value: 95 Approval rating: 10

Chapter Six: Master, Please Pay

Although it's unclear why bust size and height were suddenly displayed, what really caught Mashiro's attention was Nami's luck value of 95.

This made Mashiro's gaze towards Nami soften even more, especially when his eyes fell on Nami's chest. Well, to be honest, it did match the values ​​provided by the system.

"Nami, can you sail a boat?" Mashiro suddenly asked. "Why do you ask?" Nami replied, somewhat curiously.

“Alvida and her crew are no longer on this ship, and I can’t sail, and if you can’t either, then we’ll probably have to stay here,” Mashiro replied.

Nami seemed a little hesitant.

"If you can sail, take me to my own land, and I'll give you half of the treasure on this ship," Zhenzi said with a light laugh.

"Really?" Nami's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing that she could get a share of the treasure. Seeing this, Mashiro gave an "I knew it" look and nodded slightly.

"I'll go check the driver's seat." With that, Nami jogged away from the warehouse.

Mashiro wasn't worried that Nami would try to run away; she was a smart woman and knew what choice to make.

Just as Mashiro had guessed, Nami had no intention of running away. If Mashiro were a bad person, she might have taken the risk of jumping into the water to escape.

But Mashiro is a good person with a good personality, not to mention she's willing to share her treasure with me, so the best option now is to cooperate.

In the East China Sea, near the island of Clover, the Miss Labu Daku was slowly sailing.

On the deck, two huge parasols shielded Mashiro and Nami from the scorching sun.

Nami was controlling the course, while Shinji had somehow found a bench and was leisurely lying down.

Because Nami wasn't very skilled, the pirate ship wasn't moving very fast, far slower than Mashiro's flight speed. But since she could lie down, Mashiro naturally didn't want to fly.

"Nami really knows how to pilot a ship. Has she been here before?" Mashiro asked softly.

Upon hearing Makoto's question, Nami paused for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Don't let my current appearance fool you. I also had a dream: to draw a map covering all the seas in the world. That's why I started reading books about navigation when I was very young. I'm not bragging, but I could already draw island maps when I was ten years old, until..."

Nami didn't continue, her expression turning serious. "Illusion Art: Words of the Heart" would always work in Mashiro's hands.

"Nami seems to really like money. I guess that's why you chose to become a pirate. Is it because you're short of money, or is it just because you like it?" Mashiro continued to ask.

"Of course I like money, I like it very much, but even if I like money, I would never choose to become a thief. The reason I became a pirate is because I urgently need a lot of money right now, I really need it, I..." As she spoke, Nami's emotions suddenly became a little agitated. She suddenly realized that she had said too much and immediately shut her mouth.

"As expected, without chakra, even unconventional ninjutsu like Genjutsu: Mind Words is greatly reduced in effectiveness," Mashiro thought to himself, seeing that Nami had realized what was happening.

“Since you don’t want to talk about it, then I won’t press you. After all, everyone has their own secrets,” Mashiro said with a light laugh. “Thank you,” Nami replied, deeply grateful for Mashiro’s understanding.

After all, in a way, she's now Mashiro's prisoner, but Mashiro is willing to treat her as an equal. [Nami's approval rating +10]

"How much money does Nami need right now?" Mashiro suddenly asked. After hesitating for a moment, Nami replied, "One hundred million Berries."

"One hundred million, that's no small sum," Mashiro said softly.

Keep in mind, back then she took all the Berries from the town mayor and the naval base, and the total amount was only a little over 100 million Berries. "I can give Nami that money," Mashiro said with a smile.

"What?!" Nami couldn't believe her ears and began to wonder if she was hallucinating. Mashiro reached out, and a huge wooden crate flew out of the warehouse and landed in front of them.

Then the box opened automatically, and Mashiro's hand landed on top of it. Immediately afterward, 5000-bean bills, 500-bean coins, and 100-bean coins began to fall into the box from Mashiro's palm.

In a short while, the box was filled.

"This is 100 million Berries." Mashiro withdrew her hand and said calmly. Nami was completely shocked and speechless.

"Thank you so much, Mashiro." Nami burst into tears instantly. The grievances she had suffered for eight years poured out at this moment.

Just as Nami was about to hug the box, it snapped shut and floated into the air. "You should know that this 100 million Berries didn't come for free," Mashiro said softly.

"I know, but as long as you give me this 100 million Berries, I'll do anything you ask, even take my life," Nami said firmly, wiping away her tears.

"Don't worry, I won't make you a thief, nor do I intend to kill you. I will give you a fair chance to trade. As long as you're willing, the corresponding amount..."

"My Berries will be yours. I think that's safer and easier than you, a pirate, stealing them one by one," Mashiro said calmly.

“I understand, what do you want me to do?” Nami asked urgently.

With the goal of 100 million Berries within reach, Nami was incredibly eager to get the money so that her hometown could finally escape its misery.

"Let me massage your legs first. My quote is 10 Berries for half an hour," Mashiro said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Nami didn't hesitate for a moment. After stabilizing the flight path, she went to Mashiro's side and began massaging his legs. "Can I kneel down to massage him? I'll add ten to the price," Mashiro continued.

Nami hesitated for a moment, but then knelt down and gently massaged Mashiro's legs. (In the original story, Nami's private parts were seen, and she only received 100,000 Berries, so Mashiro's offer was enough to break through Nami's defenses.)

A gentle sea breeze blew, the sun shone warmly, and a pair of soft hands gently massaged her legs. Shinpaku's eyes narrowed slightly; life at sea could be quite interesting sometimes.

Meanwhile, Nami, who was gently massaging Mashiro's legs, was also observing Mashiro, completely unable to understand the girl beside her.

Despite being around the same age as me, she was incredibly composed, making people unconsciously choose to trust her. [Nami's approval rating +10]

Also, her legs are so soft, and her skin is so white.

An hour later, Mashiro gently opened her eyes and said, "Okay, you can stop now." Hearing this, Nami stopped what she was doing; her legs were completely numb.

"This is your reward." As Mashiro said this, the box opened automatically, and 20 Illusionary Berries flew out and landed in Nami's hand. Nami took the money, ignoring her sore legs, and hurriedly stuffed it into her pocket.

"If you're willing to call me master from today onwards, I'll give you 300 million Berries," Mashiro said with a smile.

Upon hearing Mashiro's words, Nami initially felt incredibly ashamed, but this shame was quickly dispelled by the 300 million Berries. "Master," Nami obediently called out, then stretched out her hands to Mashiro.

Chapter Seven: The Art of No Boundaries

"Good girl~" Mashiro said softly, and then 100 one-square-foot banknotes fell down.

After putting all the money away, Nami hesitated for a moment and asked, "Um, Makoto, why did you help me?"

“Help you? No, no, no, you can treat me as a fair trade; I have other motives,” Zhenbai replied softly.

"Is there something else going on?" Nami was puzzled. If Mashiro were a man, she might think that Mashiro was after her beauty, but Mashiro was a woman, and even more beautiful than her. She didn't understand what Mashiro could possibly want from her.

"Anyway, you don't need to worry too much about it. I'm not pitying you; I just have other purposes. Also, you didn't call me master just now, so you'll be fined ten thousand." After saying that, Mashiro reached for a banknote in Nami's hand.

Nami hurriedly hugged all the money to her chest and said pitifully, "I was wrong, Master, I was wrong, I will definitely change in the future."

"Alright, I'll let you off this time, but don't let it happen again." Mashiro's hand finally landed on Nami's hair, gently ruffling it as she spoke.

Looking up at Shiro's face, Nami was stunned. The last time her hair had been stroked like that was by her mother, Bellemere. Thinking of her mother, Nami's mood darkened again.

"You seem a bit down. Did something sad happen to you? Although we've only known each other for a short time, and this might sound a bit abrupt, but..."

"If there's anything you really can't solve, feel free to tell me, and I'll do my best to help you." Mashiro said earnestly, stroking Nami's hair.

Looking into Mashiro's gentle yet determined eyes, Nami had a fleeting impulse to tell her about Arlong, but it was only for a moment. Her childhood experiences made her afraid to trust anyone easily anymore.

"No, it's nothing. I'm just feeling a bit sentimental thinking about how hard I worked to get Berries before, and now I can get them so easily." Nami said with a playful smile.

"I see," Mashiro said softly, without asking any further questions.

It seems this little thief is more wary than she thought. One level later.

The Miss Labu Daku arrived in the town of Shells.

"This is Shells Town, where the 153rd Marine Branch is located," Nami said. At that moment, Mashiro was lying on Nami's lap.

Nami gently patted Mashiro's leg and helped her up. Mashiro called out to the back of the ship, "Coby, let's stay here."

Instantly, Koby rushed over and replied, "Yes, yes, thank you so much, Mashiro-sama."

For the past two days, Coby had remained quietly in the cabin, not daring to say a word unless Mashiro asked him. "Let's dock then," Mashiro said, looking at Nami with a smile.

"Mmm." Nami nodded and began to steer the ship toward the port of Shells Town.

Upon arriving in Shells Town, Mashiro first took Nami to deliver Coby to the Marine branch, and then went to town with Nami.

“Um, Master, should we stay in town for the night? After all, you’ve been saying you’re not used to sleeping on the ship,” Nami suddenly said.

"Okay, I didn't expect Nami to be so considerate. As a reward, I'll take you shopping," Mashiro said with a light laugh. Hearing this, Nami's expression suddenly became somewhat complicated.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to go?" Mashiro said calmly.

"No, no, thank you very much, Master," Nami said with a smile.

Mashiro gave Nami a meaningful look, then led her toward the town center. Late at night.

Nami quietly opened the door to her hotel room, then glanced at Mashiro's room with a complicated expression. After a few hesitant steps, she finally walked resolutely out of the hotel.

A moment after Nami left, Mashiro gently pushed open the door, glanced in the direction Nami had gone, and muttered to herself, "Oh dear, I really underestimated her. Run away, you little wildcat."

Then Mashiro closed the door and went back to sleep. Morning.

A knock came at the door.

Mashiro, still half-asleep, changed her clothes and opened the door. Outside stood Koby, looking anxious. "What's wrong?" Mashiro asked softly.

"Lord Mashiro, Nami, Nami stole the box where you kept Berry!" Coby said anxiously.

Yesterday, when Coby left the Navy branch, it was already evening. For some reason, the Navy branch did not seem to care about finding him a place to stay. In order to avoid sleeping on the streets, Coby decided to stay on the Miss Labu Daku for another night and then look for a job the next day.

Having worked odd jobs on the Miss Labu Daku for several years, Koby knew the ship's rooms very well. He found a room that couldn't be locked and decided to make do for the night.
