XX-level Hokage

“Justice, huh?” Gion murmured, gazing at the lieutenant general's cloak hanging on the wall. Soon, as night approached, the warship arrived at the port of the Alabasta Kingdom. “Alright, I won't see you off,” Gion said calmly.

"Okay, then, see you next time, Ms. Sono." Mashiro chuckled and hugged Sono.

Yuan was stunned for a moment, not only wondering why Mashiro knew her name, but also surprised by Mashiro's sudden hug. She instinctively wanted to resist, but Mashiro held her tightly in her arms.

With a height of 190cm, and a 170cm tall woman like Mashiro hugging her, her face buried right in her... It was truly... ah.

Women in this world have such great figures.

The sound of Shiro's breath hitting the garden floor... made her feel a little itchy.

And just then, Shiro's hands... rose up, tracing down Yuan's waist... until...

“…, Lady Momousagi,” Mashiro said softly. Then he released her.

He led Michita and Mariano off the warship.

Yuan stood there blankly, unsure of what to do, until Mashiro's figure disappeared. Then, her face suddenly turned red, and she crossed her arms and walked into the warship.

"Let's set sail."

Mashiro, carrying Michita and Marianu, flew through the desert, a gentle smile on her face. Transformation doesn't just corrupt the other's beliefs, it also enslaves their very being.

So when Mashiro was getting off the ship, she deliberately teased Sono, and it worked quite well. If it had been before, Sono would have definitely slashed her with a single blow.

The process of corruption is always imperceptible, and perhaps the garden is currently wondering about this. Until next time...

Soon, late at night, Mashiro and the other two arrived at the capital city of Alabasta.

When Kita and Mariano were led to their room, Mashiro quietly arrived at Vivi's palace. Vivi was sleeping at the time.

Mashiro opened Vivi's wardrobe, changed into a set of pajamas, then naturally pulled back the covers, lay down on Vivi's bed, and wrapped her arms around Vivi's waist.

"Who?" Vivi instinctively tried to get up after feeling the touch. "It's me," Mashiro said softly.

"Is Master back?" Upon hearing Mashiro's voice, Vivi instantly relaxed, leaning back slightly to allow Mashiro to hug her more tightly. "Just got back," Mashiro said softly.

"How did it go? To the Navy Headquarters?" Vivi asked with a smile.

"Not bad, it achieved its goal," Mashiro said softly. "That's good," Vivi nodded.

"Now that I have this identity, I'll make a mark tomorrow as the 'Seven Warlords of the Sea' sorcerer' mark. I'll hang it in the kingdom, and things like Baroque Works shouldn't happen again," Mashiro yawned and said softly.

"Master, I love you!" Vivi excitedly turned around and hugged Mashiro.

"You'd better go to sleep now, or you won't be sleeping tonight," Mashiro said with a smile, looking at Vivi in ​​her arms.

At first, Vivi didn't understand what Mashiro meant, until a warm tail gently tugged at her round buttocks. Vivi blushed instantly and quickly closed her eyes.

Seeing this, Mashiro gently pinched her cheek and closed her eyes as well. Mashiro pondered what had happened during her trip to Marine Headquarters.

During her trip to Naval Headquarters, Marianu's approval rating increased by 20, and her friendship with Sonoko increased by 30, bringing her total luck value to 355. [Name: Hinata Mashiro]

Gender: Female Age: 20 Luck Value: 355

Historical text collection count: 1/26 Lottery draw count: 2

Main quest progress: 01

The main quest progress remains unchanged; it's probably divided into different stages. The seeds of corruption have been sown in the garden; we should be able to reap the rewards next time we meet. And the crane—she seems to recognize me, just like Arlong in Cocoyasi Village.

There are two lottery draws left. I'll draw them all tomorrow. Lost in thought, Mashiro drifted off to sleep.

Chapter Thirty-Four: Farewell to the Desert Country

In the early morning, Mashiro gently opened her eyes. Vivi was no longer beside her; she must have already gotten up. She yawned softly and sat up.

The system panel then appeared. Alright, let's start the lottery.

As a white and a purple light flashed by, a system notification sounded.

Congratulations, host, you have received the following reward: Logia-type Rain-Rain Fruit Ability [Congratulations, host, you have received the following reward: Illusion Stone]

"???" I was genuinely surprised. Could it be such a coincidence?

[Logia-type Devil Fruit - Rain-Rain Fruit Ability: Originating from the Logia-type Devil Fruit - Rain-Rain Fruit, it allows the body to "transform into elements," thus rendering physical attacks ineffective, and...]

Able to use non-physical properties (elements) to restrain or attack enemies.

After examining it, Mashiro found that this ability had been optimized by the system, eliminating the weakness of being afraid of seawater and sea stone, but also adding many restrictions. For example, the elementalization had a time limit of 15 minutes. After 15 minutes of elementalization, it required an hour of cooldown before it could be activated again, and it also required consuming a certain amount of chakra.

It can be said that the Devil Fruit ability was transformed into a unique form of ninjutsu.

Mashiro breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although she was very interested in the power of Devil Fruits, she wasn't interested enough to actually eat one, since her fear of seawater and seastone was too great a drawback.

This system modification actually made her feel more at ease.

This ability is of paramount importance to Mashiro, especially the elemental transformation and immunity to physical attacks it contains, which eliminates Mashiro's only weakness.

Now, if Mashiro fights Isshiki again, she can completely ignore Isshiki's attacks and let him attack her at will. As for the chakra required to activate elemental transformation, one of the things Mashiro has the least to lack is chakra.

The second reward is an item.

[Void Stone: A condensation of spacetime power, capable of instantly teleporting the user to any time and location (Usage: 1 time)] "It seems to be a life-saving item. When facing an insurmountable enemy, it can be used to escape instantly, but there's an element of gambling involved."

"After all, the time and place of teleportation are not fixed," Mashiro muttered to herself.

This thing was almost useless to her, and she didn't believe that anyone in the world could defeat her with an absolute advantage.

“However, if my guess is correct, both Arlong and Tsuru have seen me, then I must have traveled back to the past of this world. In that case, I should be able to use this stone someday,” Mashiro continued.

She was somewhat puzzled. If she were to actually use this stone, under what circumstances would she do so? Could there truly be someone in this world stronger than her? (Spoiler alert: Mashiro accidentally uses it while drunk.)

Forget it, I won't think about it too much for now. Mashiro got up and started getting dressed.

"That's fine, I think it's not bad," Mashiro said softly.

Before them, on a huge black flag, a pair of milky-white eyes were clearly visible.

This is the symbol that Robin and Mariano set up at Mashiro's request. It belongs to one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and is the symbol of a sorcerer.

According to Michita and Vivi's original design, Shiro's symbol should be like other pirates, based on a white scale, with white eyes and white wings, and preferably with a pink sword.

But Mashiro didn't really like this aesthetic; she wanted something neater and cleaner.

Then, Robin and Mariano, following Mashiro's request, established the current symbol, a pair of milky white eyes.

The eye color is not pure white; it was specially mixed by Mariano based on the color of her true white eyes. Although it is very simple, it can clearly show the characteristics of true white.

"Hang this flag at the very top of the Alabasta Kingdom, and then we can leave," Zhen whispered.

"Leave?" "Leave?!"

Robin and Vivi spoke at the same time. Robin was a little nervous, while Vivi was a little reluctant.

“Go to Ohara. If nothing unexpected happens, that will be my territory as a Shichibukai,” Mashiro said softly. [Robin's approval rating +30]

Upon hearing this, Robin was deeply moved. Ohara, her homeland, was where she was born and forced to flee.

"Mashiro, I..." Vivi began hesitantly. The Kingdom of Alabasta had just been restored, and her father alone was not enough. She had to stay in the kingdom to help. But before she could finish speaking, Mashiro interrupted her.

"Vivi, you should stay in Alabasta until everything settles down, then we can consider whether to go to Ohara," Mashiro said softly, reaching out to stroke Vivi's head.

“Zhenshio.” Vivi didn’t know what to say for a moment.

"This is your country. Guard it well, future Queen." Mashiro whispered in Vivi's ear. "I understand," Vivi smiled and said with unwavering determination.

She was not just a fragile young girl; she had her own responsibilities and mission. At noon, another banquet began.

This banquet was not an expression of gratitude, but rather a farewell gesture.

Halfway through the banquet, Vivi pulled Mashiro out of the banquet hall and into a side hall.

"Aren't you going to the banquet?" Mashiro asked, somewhat puzzled, looking at Weiwei's determined expression.

"I have more important things to do now." Weiwei's face began to flush, and her voice trembled slightly with nervousness.

"?" Before Mashiro could even ask, "Thud!"

Vivi's skirt fell to the ground. Next came her sky-blue underwear.

Looking at Weiwei, whose skin was as white as jade and whose complexion was warm and delicate, Zhenbai instantly understood her meaning. "Actually, you..."

This time, we've only gotten halfway through explaining the truth.

Vivi instantly kissed Mashiro, holding her passionately and resolutely, and the two fell onto the bed together.

"You can do whatever you want with this time," Vivi whispered breathlessly in Mashiro's ear. Mashiro's expression darkened.

With a forceful movement, he stood up and instantly pinned Weiwei beneath him. The deed was done.

...

In the afternoon, watched by Kobui and the minister of the Alabasta Kingdom, Mashiro and his companions boarded a crimson pirate ship. This ship belonged to Crocodile, but it had been taken over by Mashiro without compensation and named "Hyuga".

"Master, where's Vivi? Didn't she come to see us off?" Michita asked, somewhat puzzled. "She's probably still in bed," Robin replied softly.

"Miss, do you usually take a nap on Wednesdays? Why are you still sleeping now?" Mariannu asked in surprise. "Oh, you'll have to ask our master," Robin said with a smile, glancing at Mashiro.

Marianne was still somewhat confused, but Michita understood her meaning, and her face instantly flushed. "It's alright if you don't know, Master will teach you when the time comes," Robin said in a slightly strange tone. As the Hyuga sailed away, Vivi opened the window of the side hall, looking exhausted.

The sea breeze that came from the shore was somewhat dry after passing through the long desert. Looking towards the coast, Vivi's gaze was fixed on the departing ship.

"That was rough, but I'll forgive you this time, considering we're parting. Goodbye, Mashiro, goodbye, my master." Vivi said softly, placing her hands on her chest.

On the Hyuga, as they moved further and further from the coastline, a huge flag was clearly visible over the Alabasta capital.

"Ohara, a famous archaeological mecca in the West Blue, boasts the world's largest library with the most scholars and the most books—the Omniscient Tree. It can be said that almost all the renowned scholars of the Grand Line have visited Ohara."

My parents were scholars on Ohara Island, but my father died when I was born, and my mother went to sea to do research when I was three. I have been all alone since I was a child.

Although I was taken in by my uncle, my status was almost no different from that of a servant. And because I am a Devil Fruit user, the other children on the island all regarded me as a monster. The only people I could call friends were the scholars who worked in the Tree of Omniscience.

Therefore, my greatest hobby is reading in the Tree of Knowledge, which also revealed my talent for archaeology.

These aren't pleasant memories, but thinking about them now, I feel a strange sense of nostalgia. "Robin said in a complicated tone. After a week's journey, the Hyuga finally approached Ohara.

Chapter 35: Ohara (Part 1)

"Time heals all wounds, and your understanding of the past will change accordingly." Mashiro walked to Robin's side and said softly. Robin remained noncommittal.

As the distance closed, Robin felt a strange, almost unsettling, sense of homecoming. Faintly, the shadow of an island began to appear.

Robin looked closely, his eyes filled with doubt, then quickly widened in surprise, exclaiming, "This... how is this possible?!" "What's wrong?" he asked.

"The Tree of Omniscience... the Tree of Omniscience is still in Ohara! It wasn't destroyed along with the island's books and scholars!" Robin exclaimed, a mixture of relief and disbelief. During the Ohara incident, under the Navy's Buster Call, all the civilians and scholars of Ohara were killed, and all the books and documents were burned.

The flames burned for two days and two nights.
