XX-level Hokage

"Perhaps, but a large part of the reason is that Toki's personality is naturally lively and cute." Mashiro pinched Toki's cheek and said softly. Toki blushed and nodded.

Oden saw this scene from a short distance away, and his feelings were inexplicably complicated.

"What's wrong? Brother Oden, dragging your feet on matters of the heart is unlike you." Whitebeard looked at Oden sitting on his lap, raised his huge sake cup and drank.

After finishing the drink, he laughed, making "glug glug..." sounds.

“If it were any other woman, I would have already used every means to win her over, but for some reason, I feel that Toki is my destined one, so I don’t want to use any forceful methods,” Oden said with some distress.

He raised the wine cup, which was almost half his own body size, and drank it all in one gulp.

Then he laughed and said, "People like us are used to fighting and killing, but when we actually meet a woman we want to keep by our side, we become completely at a loss, hahaha."

Upon hearing this, the white-bearded man suddenly seemed to remember something, and poured himself another full glass of wine, which he then drank in one gulp.

After staying with the Whitebeard Pirates for about five more days, the Moby Dick happened to be docked at an island not far from the Sabaody Archipelago. Realizing it was time, Mashiro decided to disembark.

"Are you planning to leave?" the white-bearded man asked.

"Thank you for everything these past few days. I owe you a favor," Mashiro said calmly.

"Gurararara... You owe me a favor? You're the first person to dare say that to me, Whitebeard." With that, Whitebeard raised his Murakumogiri and slammed it heavily onto the ground.

An incredibly powerful shockwave instantly engulfed the entire Moby Dick, nearly blowing some of the newly joined crew members into the air.

"Who is it? Who made Dad angry?" Marco asked, covering his hair. "Mashiro..." Toki glanced at the captain's office with concern.

Faced with the incredibly powerful shockwave, Mashiro, who was closest to the source, showed no reaction whatsoever; not even the hem of her clothes fluttered, and she remained completely unmoved.

"Perhaps you don't understand now how important this favor is, but you will one day," Mashiro said with a smile.

"What an arrogant brat. If we weren't on the ship, I'd love to test your mettle and see what gives you such confidence," the white-bearded man said seriously.

“There’s still a chance. After all, I also want to test the strength of one of the kings of the sea, Whitebeard,” Mashiro said softly. “If you want to leave, that’s fine with you, but are you taking that child with you too?” Whitebeard asked.

"Do you think Toki would abandon me and stay here?" Mashiro asked softly. Hearing this, the white-bearded man paused for a moment, then sighed.

“If it weren’t for me, Toki and Oden might have actually had a chance, but now, let him change his target.” With that, Mashiro turned and left the captain’s cabin.

In the afternoon, Mashiro and Toki disembarked from the Moby Dick and arrived at Natsume Island, an island not far from the Sabaody Archipelago. From Natsume Island, they took a sightseeing boat to the Sabaody Archipelago.

Looking at the strange sights and peculiar bubbles on the island, Toki was first amazed, then her expression became inexplicably complicated. "What's wrong, Toki?" Mashiro asked softly.

It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of those human traffickers. When I first arrived here, they lied to me and said they would take me to Wano Country.

But I overheard their conversation on the ship; they wanted to sell me into slavery. Because of this, I chose to run away, and that's how I met you, Mashiro.

"Those people were discussing selling me to two places: the City of Lights and the Sabaody Archipelago," Amatsuki said with lingering fear. "If she hadn't overheard their conversation, she might have already been sold into slavery."

"It's alright, they're all dead now. This kind of thing won't happen again." He gently stroked Tianyue Shi's hair and said with a soft laugh. Hearing this, Tianyue Shi also smiled gently and nodded emphatically.

"By the way, Mashiro, what are we here for?" Guan Yueshi asked with some curiosity.

"Looking for someone." "Looking for someone?"

"A Celestial Dragon, a member of the World Nobles."

"World Nobles? Celestial Dragons?" Tenzuki Shiki became even more puzzled. She came from eight hundred years ago, and these two concepts did not exist eight hundred years ago.

The Celestial Dragons are descendants of 19 of the 20 kings who formed the World Government 800 years ago. They consider themselves "descendants of the Creator" and reside in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

In their profession, they enjoy all privileges, and if offended, the General of the Navy or the CP0 must be dispatched to protect them.

Because they became the aristocracy of the entire world, they committed almost every imaginable evil.

Furthermore, they consider themselves superior and hold severe discrimination against anyone other than the Celestial Dragons, treating others not as human beings but as slaves who can be destroyed at any time.

"I haven't heard of Guanlongren, but I should have heard of the 20 Kings, right?" Mashiro explained softly. "The 20 Kings?" Amaterasu's expression instantly became incredibly complicated.

After a moment, he spoke, "I don't know either. My memories of this are extremely vague, but what I'm certain of is that my choice to come to this time is definitely related to the 20th Lord."

"Don't overthink it. No matter how powerful the 20 Kings were, they're long gone. All that's left are their useless descendants. So, there's nothing to worry about," Mashiro reassured him softly.

"Is there something you need from Mashiro to see Guan Longren?" Guan Yueshi asked softly after calming down.

“I want to become a Celestial Dragon temporarily. Maria has what I want,” Mashiro replied softly.

"To become a Celestial Dragon?!" "That's right, to become a Celestial Dragon."

On Tree Root Island, Sabaody Archipelago.

Rognier Saint was advancing toward the auction house, accompanied by a large number of naval personnel.

He sat a burly man with a numb expression, accompanied by several scantily clad maids. All around, the commoners knelt on the ground.

As the patriarch of the Sassarian family, Saint Rogneel is one of the few Celestial Dragons who is willing to personally handle the procurement of slaves.

"I hope this time there will be good merchandise. I can't afford to lose to the Campbell family in the dueling arena again," Saint Rogneel muttered to himself.

Chapter 64: Mary Geoise (Part 1)

Just as Saint Rognir was casually making his way towards the slave auction house, a figure suddenly blocked his path.

"Who are you? How dare you block the path of a world noble?" said one of the naval officers responsible for guarding Saint Rognir.

Saint Rognier snapped out of his daze and looked at the offender on the road ahead. Then, the moment his eyes met the "offender's," Saint Rognier froze.

In the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, in an incredibly luxurious palace.

Shinji stood quietly to the side with Tenzuki Toki. Not far away, three Celestial Dragons were arguing.

“Father, this is absolutely impossible! How can we allow someone with such lowly blood to tarnish the bloodline of our Sasarian family?” a blonde girl said.

"Quiet, Jasmine, this is my decision," Saint Rognir said earnestly.

“Brother, say something too. Father actually brought a bastard and wants her to join our Sassarian family,” Jasmine Palace said to the fat man who looked dazed beside her.

"What is a hybrid? Can you eat it?" the obese man asked疑惑地.

"Bastard? What are you talking about, Morimia! If we're talking about bloodlines, you're not a pure-blooded Sassarian either. You were born to me and who knows which concubine I had," Saint Rognir said angrily.

Upon hearing this, Jasmine Palace dared not speak again, for she was still very afraid of Saint Rognir.

In conclusion, it's decided. I will inform the other families and Lord Im. From today onwards, the Desolate Spring belongs to our Sassarian family.

"That's the gift. If you, Jasmine, still have any complaints, then move up the marriage alliance with the Izanbaron family." Saint Rognir said coldly.

"Yes, Father." Jasminea Palace nodded.

Then, Saint Rognir led the two to Mashiro and introduced them: "Kiseki, these two are the other two members of our Sassarian family. Bardrien Sassarian, Morimia Sassarian."

"Bardrian has some mental issues; he's sometimes lucid and sometimes confused, but you don't need to worry about him usually." "I understand," Mashiro said with a light laugh.

"Alright, now you and your slaves can go find a side hall to live in. Just tell the slaves what you need anytime." With that, Saint Rognir looked at Mashiro with a loving expression, then left with the dazed Saint Badrian and the impatient Jasmine Palace.

When Mashiro led Sekie to see the Sasarian family, they strolled through the vast palace, which connected to the manor and two other palaces on either side. The palace was filled with slaves; apparently, the steward had informed them beforehand, for upon seeing Mashiro, they all knelt down, unable to look her in the eye.

The Sassarian family was extremely small, so the side halls of the palace were mostly empty. After some thought, Mashiro chose a side hall with a huge floor-to-ceiling window.

With a gentle wave, the butler who had been silently following Mashiro and the other person respectfully walked over.

"Have you made your choice, Lord Taoquan?" "This will do."

“Very well, I wonder what kind of slave you require? I will consult with Saint Rognir and send him to your palace,” the steward said respectfully. “Never mind for now, you may leave,” Mashiro said softly.

"Yes, sir." After saying this, the butler bowed respectfully, turned around, and left.

Stepping into her own palace, closing the door, Mashiro lay down on the luxurious bed.

"Mashiro, how did you do that?!" Guan Yueshi asked in utter astonishment. When Mashiro told her she wanted to become a Celestial Dragon, she had some doubts.

But Mamoru only told her not to speak, so Toki remained silent and followed behind Mamoru with her head down. They walked all the way to Tree Root Island #2, where they happened to encounter a Celestial Dragon.

Amidst the bewildered and astonished gaze of Tengetsu, Mashiro stepped in front of the Celestial Dragons.

Then the dragon-man became strangely excited and led the two to Maria. He also claimed that Mashiro was his child, a dragon-man belonging to the Sassarian family.

Amatsuki had a lot of questions about this, but because of Mashiro's instructions at the time, he still played the role of keeping his head down and remaining silent.

"Perhaps it's because my ability is rather special; you can think of it as me using a kind of hypnosis to hypnotize him," Mashiro replied, turning over in bed.

[Phantom God: A dojutsu originating from the Mangekyou Sharingan, it can add memories related to the user to the target. It is only effective on targets encountered for the first time, and the added memories are not...]

It may differ significantly from the self-remembered memory.

[Visual Memory: By looking directly into someone's eyes, one can quickly read and erase their memories of oneself.] Upon first seeing Saint Rognir, Mashiro simultaneously activated both of these abilities on him.

Through modifications, Rognier Saint experienced a deeply moving love affair, but due to their unequal social status, the woman was thrown out of Mary Geoise by his father.

Mashiro's self-defined role is that of the woman and Rognir's child. Therefore, Rognir's affection for Mashiro instantly skyrockets.

"You have such amazing abilities, Mashiro! You're really incredible! You look about my age." Amatsuki Toki exclaimed in amazement. "It's just luck," Mashiro replied with a smile.

Now that you've successfully become a Celestial Dragon, what's the next step? "Amaterasu asked curiously.

"Next, of course, is to enjoy the privileges of being a world noble, with rare treasures and delicacies from all over the world. We'll talk business after we've had our fill of fun," Shinpaku said with a smile, pulling Tenzuki Toki down onto the bed.

“That’s true.” Tianyue Shi laughed as well. Five days later.

After five days together, Mashiro has gradually become familiar with life in Mary Geoise.

Just as Mashiro guessed, not many of the Celestial Dragons are normal, and there is a strange pattern: male Celestial Dragons are generally ugly, while female Celestial Dragons are mostly very beautiful. It is unknown what causes this.

"Izumi, Izumi, do you want to go to the arena today? I heard the Roswald family just acquired a new batch of Mink slaves." A voice that didn't sound very bright came from behind. The speaker was none other than Mashiro's nominal older brother, Saint Bardrian.

Unlike the Jasmine Palace, Saint Badrian especially enjoyed playing with Mashiro and took her to visit many of the institutions in Mary Geoise.

The Holy Land of Mary provided many places for the Dragons to entertain themselves, and the gladiatorial arena was one of them.

Many Celestial Dragons would spend a lot of money to buy ferocious beasts or slaves, and then go to the arena to fight them for their amusement.

According to the butler, Bard, the stakes in the Celestial Dragons' arenas are often very high, enough to bankrupt a minor nobleman. Mashiro had been to watch a few times, but each time she was uninterested.

After politely refusing Saint Badrian's offer, Mashiro shook the bell in her hand.

A moment later, the butler, Bud, arrived.

"Lord Izumi, what are your orders?" Bard asked respectfully. "How's the Devil Fruit collection going?" Mashiro asked softly.

"Reporting to you, sir, we have collected five Devil Fruits. However, apart from the two that were already in the Sassarian family's warehouse, the other three are still on their way to Mary Geoise. I wanted to wait until we had them all before informing you," Bard explained.

"Oh? What kind of fruits are they?" Mashiro asked softly.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, they are respectively: Zoan-type Ox-Ox Fruit and Zoan-type Tiger-Tiger Fruit."

Paramecia-type Rage-Rage Fruit, Paramecia-type Sealing-Sealing Fruit

Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, Shatter-Shatter Fruit. "Bard explained."
