XX-level Hokage

Tashigi walked over, full of doubt.

"Awake? Looks like you rested well." Mashiro said softly as she saw Tashigi approaching. "Yeah, it's been a long time since I've had such a good rest. By the way, Mashiro, who is she?" Tashigi asked curiously.

"She's a resident of this town, seems to like me, and wants to come with us to Alabasta," Mashiro said calmly. "?"

Although Tashigi didn't quite believe it, she had no reason to press for details, so she changed the subject, saying, "By the way, we rested yesterday..."

A large hole suddenly appeared in the room. Was there some kind of attack?

"It's nothing. Last night, a guy with an afro who was using a booger as a bomb suddenly showed up and accidentally blew a hole in the wall," Mashiro said softly.

"Ugh, really, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Who would believe you if you made up something like that? An afro that uses boogers as bombs?" Tashigi said, speechless.

"Since you don't believe me, forget it. Alright, we can set off now for the next stop," Mashiro said with a light laugh, glancing at Michita and Vivi.

Michita remained silent. She had accepted her current status as a prisoner. At least being a female prisoner was better than being a male prisoner, and she didn't have to worry about her physical condition.

Vivi, on the other hand, remained completely calm; she had already made a deal with Mashiro.

Soon, the group arrived on the ship. Mr. 9 seemed very afraid of Mashiro and did not board the ship, saying that he wanted to stay at Whiskey Peak. Mashiro did not try to persuade him to stay.

Mashiro, Tashigi, Raikita, and Vivi set off for the Little Garden. After sailing for a short while, fog suddenly rose from the sea.

"Be careful not to hit the rocks, the morning fog is very thick." A rather stern voice came from within the fog. "Don't worry, I know," Vivi, who was at the helm, nodded.

But she quickly sensed something was wrong, froze for a moment, and hurriedly turned her head, exclaiming, "You, you are!"

On the deck railing, a mature woman with tanned skin and wearing a girl's hat was leaning against it. (Robin's skin in the original manga is snow-white, but I think the tanned skin in the initial anime version is very beautiful, so I'll keep this version for now, based on the tan I got in the desert. I'll change it to a fair-skinned version after we leave the desert.)

“Hello, Mr. Wednesday, no, I should call you Princess Vivi, and you, Mr. Valentine.” As she spoke, Robin looked at Michita. “Vice-Vice President?!” Michita was also incredibly surprised as she looked at the woman in front of her.

"Oh my, what a coincidence! I wonder why the famous vice president of Baroque Works would suddenly appear on my ship?" Mashiro appeared beside Robin at some point and asked softly.

"That lady wielding the sword must be Tashigi, the sergeant major of the Loguetown naval branch. So it seems I wasn't mistaken, you're the one who barged into Loguetown."

"The mysterious person from the town branch, perhaps?" Robin didn't answer Zhenbaihua, but chuckled lightly.

Mashiro looked at the woman in front of her; she was mature, sexy, and most importantly, very intelligent. [Name: Nico Robin]

Gender: Female Age: 28

Affiliation: Pirates

Devil Fruit Ability: Paramecia-type Flower Flower Fruit

Tri-color aura: ??? Height: 188 cm

Measurements: 100/60/90

Luck value: 95 Approval rating: 0

“Likewise, Nico Robin, the child of the devil.” Mashiro looked at Robin, the orphan of Ohara, with great interest. She needed someone to decipher the Poneglyphs.

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Princess's Journey to Reclaim Her Kingdom (Part Five)

Upon hearing Mashiro casually mention her name, Robin's expression changed for the first time. How did she know? Even in Tomoe...

Within the Locke Works organization, only Crocodile knew her true identity.

"What do you know?" Robin asked, trying to appear calm.

“It’s nothing, but I think you should be able to tell me.” Looking into Robin’s eyes, Mashiro said softly.

“Mashiro, she’s the vice president of Baroque Works, and the only one in the company who knows the president’s identity. We found out by following her,” Vivi said nervously.

"Don't worry, I have no intention of being your enemy. Princess, who wants to save the country by being an enemy of Baroque Works, you should know that you were able to find out Crocodile's true identity because I secretly helped you." Seemingly sensing an unexpected fear, Robin spoke to Vivi, wanting to signal to Mashiro that she meant no harm.

"So, you want to surrender, Robin-chan?" Mashiro said, walking lightly towards Robin.

Suddenly, hands sprouted from the bodies of Mashiro, Tashigi, Michita, and Vivi, and they continued to extend until they reached their necks.

"Is this the power of the Flower-Flower Fruit? I originally thought it would conjure flowers, but it summons many hands instead. By the way, can these hands form hand seals? If so, that would be quite interesting," Mashiro thought to herself, looking at the hands that were resting in front of her neck.

"You want to attack me? That's not a reasonable choice." Robin made a hand gesture and said seriously. "Is that so?" The hand that was gripping Mashiro's neck instantly shattered, and Mashiro calmly continued walking towards Robin.

Robin tried to resist, but found that her body was bound by an invisible force and she could not move at all.

But I think this is a very reasonable choice, after all, I really need a historian who can interpret the historical texts. "Walking up to Robin, Mashiro reached out and gently stroked Robin's face, chuckling softly.

"You..." Robin's expression instantly turned terrified, not only because of Mashiro's overwhelming power, but also because Mashiro knew that she could decipher the Poneglyphs.

"Now I can give you two choices. First, become my teammate and help me decipher the Poneglyphs. Of course, you can also become my teammate temporarily until you help me find the next person who can decipher them, in exchange for your freedom. Second, I will trap you on the next island until you think it through," Shin said softly.

I understand. I'm happy to work for you. May I ask your name? "Robin is an incredibly intelligent person. Her experiences from childhood to adulthood have profoundly taught her how to make the right choices at the right time."

“Call me Master. I’m not a pirate and I don’t own a company. I personally prefer this title,” Mashiro said with a smile. “Okay, Master, can you let me go now?” Robin said with a light laugh.

Hearing the word "master" from a very magnetic, mature female voice gave Mashiro a strange feeling, but it wasn't bad.

As Shinra Tensei and Bansho Ten'in came into contact simultaneously, Robin instantly regained her mobility. She then wisely removed the hands from Tashigi, Michita, and Vivi.

"What a powerful and mysterious force! I wonder how it compares to the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Master. You must know you're going to be fighting against one of them, Crocodile. You not only kidnapped his agents but also took in the criminals he calls yours." Robin walked lightly to the center of the deck and spoke.

"It seems Robin-chan cares a lot about my strength." Mashiro walked lightly to the front of the ship, looked at the thick fog in front of her, and said softly.

"You know, I betrayed Crocodile's side to join my master's. If something unexpected happens, wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?"

"But I believe that in the master's eyes, these shouldn't be problems." Robin looked at Bai and said with a smile.

"As for my strength, given my status, I'm not entirely satisfied. I'm also a little curious, but I think it should be enough to deal with him." As she spoke, Mashiro stretched out a hand.

"Melting: Heavenly Descent"

Flames instantly erupted on the sea surface, followed by a thunderbolt from the sky, a gale-force wind, and the seawater churning continuously. Giant vines, resembling the tentacles of a giant octopus on the seabed, swayed incessantly.

It was as if a disaster had struck.

Not only Robin, but also Tashigi, Michita, and Vivi stared in disbelief at what was happening before their eyes; this power almost overturned their understanding of the world.

[Nicole Robin's approval rating +10]

[Nefit D. Vivi's approval rating +15]

[Tashigi's approval rating +10][Michita's approval rating +15]

The degree of recognition is not only composed of liking, but also includes fear.

After a long while, the gale stopped, the flames on the sea disappeared, the thunder subsided, the giant vines sank into the seabed, and everything returned to calm. The thick fog also disappeared completely, proving that what had just happened was not an illusion.

"So, are you satisfied with what you saw?" Mashiro turned to Robin and said with a light laugh. Robin didn't speak; she hadn't yet recovered from the scene she had just witnessed.

"Alright, Vivi, let's continue sailing." Mashiro said to Vivi, pinching Robin's cheek.

"Okay." Recovering from her shock, Weiwei hurriedly walked to the helm. The ship continued its journey, but the number of people on board had increased from four to five.

Therefore, Crocodile's true purpose was not merely to usurp the throne. The Poneglyphs in the royal tomb beneath the Alabasta Kingdom's palace recorded the existence of Pluton, and his ultimate goal was to obtain Pluton, one of the Ancient Weapons, to acquire more wealth and even rule the world. "Mashiro lay on Michita's lap, looking at Robin sitting opposite her."

As far as I know, this is the case: Pluto, one of the three ancient weapons, is the most vicious warship in shipbuilding history. It is a super warship built by Water 7 and can destroy an island with a single shot. It is now sleeping somewhere in the world.

The World Government has always feared and coveted Pluton, and its high-ranking officials have repeatedly expressed their desire to obtain Pluton in order to end the Great Pirate Era.

Meanwhile, the Poneglyphs in the royal tomb beneath the Alabasta Kingdom's palace record the location of Hades. Crocodile somehow learned of this, and thus began a series of schemes to obtain Hades.

First, they found me, who could decipher the historical texts, and then they founded the Baroque Works, which was capable of usurping the throne.

"Once he truly finds Hades's position, even if he doesn't rule the world, he will at least have the right to speak with the World Government on equal terms," ​​Robin said softly.

"So, Robin-chan, do you know the location of the Lord of Solitude?" Shinji suddenly asked.

“It’s a pity, I don’t like it, otherwise Crocodile would have gotten what he wanted long ago,” Robin said regretfully. “That’s a real shame,” Mashiro said calmly.

"By the way, Master, with such great strength, why are you stuck in the East Blue, the first half of the Grand Line?" Robin suddenly asked, seemingly unwilling to continue the topic of Lord Lonely.

"Perhaps it's because I want to see more of the world's scenery, learn more about local customs and traditions, meet more people like Robin-chan, and collect some Poneglyphs along the way," Mashiro said with a light laugh.

Robin was at a loss for words when she heard this. She hadn't expected Mashiro's reason to be so, well, simple and blunt.

Just then, Vivi's voice came. "The small garden is just ahead."

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Princess's Journey to Reclaim Her Kingdom (Part Six)

Mashiro got up and walked onto the deck, where a huge island came into view.

As the boats continued to sail in, the surrounding scenery changed, becoming lush and verdant.

"On this island live two giants, said to be the blue demon Dorry and the red demon Brogy from the warrior village of Elbaf, the land of giants in the New World. They have been fighting for a century for the honor and dignity of being warriors."

They've been fighting for many years, and the battle has remained undecided. "Robin also came to the deck, walked to Mashiro's side, and said softly.

"Giants? So they really exist? But that's not surprising, considering I've seen a group of fish-men with my own eyes," Mashiro said softly. Soon, the ship docked, and everyone disembarked.

"What a strange place. Many of these plants should only have existed a few hundred years ago," Tashigi said in surprise, looking at the huge, serrated leaves beside her.

Not only that. There are dinosaurs here too, ahhhhh! Vivi ran over in a panic and hid behind Mashiro.

Behind her, a long-necked creature of terror was slowly approaching. "A dinosaur?! What a wondrous creature," Mashiro said with some surprise.

In her original world, there were no dinosaurs, only talking toads and snakes.

Its milky-white eyes gazed at the dinosaur not far away, and a powerful sense of oppression spread from there.

In an instant, the dinosaur seemed to sense something terrifying, and began to roar violently before lowering its long neck.

“Let’s go, it should be easier to find people if we sit on its head,” Mashiro said with a smile. Then he stood on the giant dinosaur’s head.

Robin wasn't surprised and followed naturally, followed by Michita and Tashigi. Vivi hesitated for a moment, then stood up as well.

Then, the dinosaur raised its neck, its tens of meters tall giving the group a sense of being on top of the world. As the dinosaur continued to move, Mr. 4's figure became clearer.

Michita pointed to a hillside not far away and said, "That guy is Mr. 4, and the dog next to him that looks special is his pet that ate a Devil Fruit."

Upon hearing this, Mashiro nodded slightly.

Then control the dinosaur to walk towards Mr. 4.

Mr. 4 was looking around when he received a Valentine's Day letter from Mr., saying that the president wanted him to go to the small garden.

Upon receiving the letter, Mr. 4 rushed over immediately and is now waiting for Mr. Valentine's Day and Mr. 5 to arrive.

Soon, Mr. 4 noticed the approaching dinosaur and the group of people on it, and his expression instantly became puzzled.

"Vice President? Mr. Valentine's Day? Mr. Wednesday? How come you're together? Was it the president's order? But who are those two?" Fear arrived at the hillside, and Mr. 4 asked Robin and Michita in confusion.

Michita lowered her head, seemingly ashamed, while Robin looked at Mr. 4 calmly, showing no intention of answering.

"Are you Mr. 4? I heard you have a gun that ate a Devil Fruit? Can you tell me how you did it?" Mashiro looked at Mr. 4 and asked softly.

"Who exactly are you?" Sensing the tense atmosphere, Mr. 4 gripped his baseball bat tighter, and his dachshund dog assumed a fighting stance. "Hmph, why do people in your world always have to fight and kill? Really, never mind." Mashiro said helplessly, snapping her fingers lightly. As she spoke, several thorny vines sprouted from beneath Mr. 4's feet, binding him and his dachshund dog.
