"Okay, I understand." Mashiro said, then turned and left.

"I never knew you had a hobby of collecting Devil Fruits. You don't actually want to become a Devil Fruit user, do you? That's a power only lowly slaves possess," Morimia Miyako said mockingly as she approached.

Chapter 65: Mary Geoise (Part Two)

"Oh, it's you, Jasmine-neechan. What's up?" Mashiro asked with a light laugh.

"What, can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?" Princess Morirea said rudely. "It seems like you really dislike me, Morirea-neechan," Mashiro said softly.

"Hehe, don't talk nonsense, or I'll tell Father you're slandering me," said Jasmine Mia. "Sure, Jasmine Mia-neechan," Mashiro said softly.

Jasmine Palace fell silent; she knew that complaining to Saint Rognir would be pointless.

Saint Rognir's affection for Mashiro borders on doting. It can be said that the entire Sassarian family now revolves around Mashiro, which is why the other Celestial Dragons in the Holy Land accepted Mashiro so quickly.

It is precisely because of this that Jasmine's status in the female Dragon Man's small circle has dropped significantly, which is why Jasmine Mia Palace dislikes Mashiro so much.

"Sister Jasminea, you must be really scared. Originally, there were only you and your brother in the family, so your position was very stable. Even if you were to marry into the Izanbaron family through an arranged marriage soon, with the support of the Sassarian family, you would still be able to enjoy the life of a world noble without worrying about being neglected."

But things are different now. With me in the family, the entire Sassarian Empire is starting to tilt in my favor, and this trend is likely to continue.

"After you, Morimia, get married, the Izabaron family will probably look down on you a bit, and you might even face some cold treatment. I knew that, frankly speaking, very few male Celestial Dragons in the Holy Land have normal personalities." Mashiro whispered in Morimia's ear.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Feeling guilty and annoyed at having her thoughts exposed, Morimi Palace hurriedly left. To ensure the purity of the world's noble bloodlines, the Celestial Dragons still maintain their original system of intermarriage.

In the Celestial Dragons' system, the first child born must be born to a wife from a marriage alliance, as a legitimate Celestial Dragon, to continue the family bloodline. Daughters, however, are more flexible; any human woman can be chosen as long as she is not of a different race.

For unknown reasons, all Celestial Dragon families have one son and one daughter. The son is born to the principal wife, and the daughter is born to a slave. The son is kept to inherit the family, while the daughter is used for marriage alliances with other families.

Therefore, in all the Celestial Dragon families, the men are generally ugly, while the women are generally more beautiful.

After Morimi left, Mashiro went to an equipment room. Amatsuki Toki was inside, quietly wiping her katana. It was one of the twenty-one Great Grade Swords, named Sagara.

This was found by Mashiro in the Sassarian family's treasury. Since it was of little use to Mashiro, she gave it to Toki Amatsuki.

Tenzuki also loved this Raincutter very much, and carried it with him almost all day long.

Mashiro also tasked her butler, Bard, with searching the entire world for a famous sword, but it seems they found nothing.

Whether it's collecting Devil Fruits or collecting famous swords, it's all a test that Mashiro uses to examine this world.

If, as the system says, the world automatically corrects the fate of those with high luck values, then Mashiro's plans to collect fruits and famous swords will, unsurprisingly, come to nothing.

Because powerful fruits and famous swords tend to appear around people with high luck, it seems that's indeed the case. "Let's go, Toki, it's time to get down to business." Mashiro stroked Toki's hair and said softly.

"You still remember the important matter? I thought you were being taboo." Tian Yue Shi put away the Rain Dress and pouted as she spoke.

"These past few days, I've traveled all over Mary Geoise with Saints Rognir and Badrian, and I've learned a lot. Now, I..."

"I know where what I want is now," Mashiro explained with a smile.

"By the way, Mashiro, I still haven't asked you what you're looking for?" Kanzuki asked curiously. "The Poneglyphs," Mashiro replied.

"Hmm?" Joey Boyle blurted out.

“It’s nothing, I think I’ve heard of the Poneglyphs before,” Amezuki Toki explained.

"I see." Mashiro pinched Amatsuki's cheek, then didn't ask any further questions. On the streets of Mary Geoise.

Mary Geoise is not only home to the Dragon People, but also to many nobles, garrisoned naval forces, and commoners.

However, Mary Geoise is divided into very distinct areas to differentiate between the Celestial Dragons' residential area, the high-ranking nobles' residential area, the naval base area, and the commoners' residential area.

Without special permission, neither merchants, nobles, nor naval personnel are allowed to set foot in the residential areas of the Guanlong people.

Celestial Dragons, on the other hand, can freely travel to other areas. Just like in the outside world, when they see a Celestial Dragon, everyone except other Celestial Dragons must kneel and pay their respects.

At this moment, Mashiro was walking down the street with Tenzuki Toki, and people were kneeling all around them.

Since they were in a holy land, the Celestial Dragons no longer needed to wear transparent isolation helmets. However, in order to highlight their status, they still retained the habit of wearing spacesuits.

At this moment, Mashiro was also wearing a spacesuit. This spacesuit was custom-made by dozens of tailors from the Sassarian family according to Mashiro's figure, using the best fabric in the world.

Although Mashiro found the clothes funny, they were indeed comfortable to wear.

"Hey, Izumi-no-miya, still haven't changed your low-class ways? It's time for the Holy Church of Rognir to teach you a lesson." Just then, a greasy voice came.

A gaunt-looking middle-aged man sat on a huge palanquin supported by four slaves, slowly approaching Mashiro.

“Thank you for your concern, Saint Fedoran.” Mashiro turned around and said softly. Morgan Fedoran, head of the Morgan family.

"Is she your pet? She's not bad looking. Would you like to trade?" Fedoran Saint came to the two of them, glanced at Mashiro, and then fixed his gaze on Kanzuki.

From the Celestial Dragons' perspective, everyone else, except for fellow Celestial Dragons, is an inferior person or a slave.

However, there are differences between slaves. Some slaves are very good at pleasing their masters and will be granted a pardon, with their collars removed. Such slaves are called pets.

Therefore, in Fedoran's eyes, Tenzuki Toki beside Mashiro was Mashiro's pet. "Never mind, I don't have that intention," Mashiro said calmly.

"That's a real pity." With that, Saint Fedoran departed in a slave sedan chair.

After this brief interlude, Mashiro, carrying Toki Amatsuki, continued straight ahead to Pangaea, the heart of Mary Geoise.

Under the influence of [Eye Technique: Separation of Gods], [Visual Memory], and Mashiro's hypnotic illusion, Saint Rognir is completely controlled by Mashiro and has revealed a great deal of information to her, including the location of the Maria Poneglyph.

According to the Sage of Rognir, each of the twenty kings possessed a Poneglyph, and apart from the vanished Nephews, Mary Geoise had a total of 19 Poneglyphs, all of which were kept by the Five Elders in Pangaea.

The so-called Five Elders are composed of the patriarchs of five immortal Heavenly Dragon families.

Jaigolusia Family, Jaigolusia Satan Saint, the "Science Defense War God" among the "Five Elders," the highest authority in the World Government.

The Markus family, Markus Mazsan, is the "Environmental God" among the Five Elders, the highest authority in the World Government. The Topman family, Topman Vochulisan, is the "Legal God" among the Five Elders, the highest authority in the World Government.

The Izambaron family, Izambaron V. Nassuro, the "Financial God" among the Five Elders, the highest authority in the World Government. The Shepard family, Shepard X. Pitt, the "Agricultural God" among the Five Elders, the highest authority in the World Government.

For centuries, they have protected the legendary immortal king, Lord Im, and controlled the World Government, ensuring the rights of the Celestial Dragons. As for information about Lord Im, Saint Rogneel knew almost nothing but his name.

Chapter 66: Mary Geoise (Part 3)

Mashiro's older sister, Morimi, is engaged to one of the Five Elders, Izabaron V. Nasujuro, and belongs to the Izabaron family. In addition to the Five Elders who ensure the Celestial Dragons' rights, the Celestial Dragons also have an organization responsible for protecting them: the Knights of God.

The Knights of God are one of the most mysterious and powerful organizations in the World Government. They are composed of Celestial Dragons and are responsible for upholding the dignity and power of the Royal Family. Their main duties are to protect the safety of the Celestial Dragons and maintain their rule.

This year's Order of the Gods is led by Figarando Gringu, a member of the Figarando family.

This also explains Mashiro's doubts. As a descendant of the 20 kings who once conquered the world, and especially with almost all the world's resources at their disposal, how could they all be useless?

It now appears that a small portion of the Celestial Dragons are normal and powerful.

The Knights of God consist of four people, which is indeed only a very small fraction of the Celestial Dragons.

Pangaea, a palace in the heart of Mary Geoise, is a magnificent sight that can be clearly seen from anywhere in Mary Geoise.

Upon arriving at the palace, the first thing that catches the eye is the enormous staircase, its steps stretching endlessly upwards as if there were no end in sight.

Mashiro led Tenzuki for about twenty minutes. A magnificent gate came into view.

Two guards in white armor stood at the gate. Upon seeing Mashiro, one of the guards asked, "What is it, Lord Taoquan?" "I have an appointment with Lord Izanbaron V. Nasujuro," Mashiro replied.

Without any suspicion, the two guards lowered their weapons from in front of Mashiro and said, "Please allow Lord Taosen to enter alone." "Ashi, wait for me outside for a moment." With that, Mashiro pushed open the door and went inside.

What comes into view is a huge reception room with white walls, a large brown round table, and a white sofa. Five elderly men are sitting on the sofa, quietly scrutinizing Mashiro.

"Is it you? The brat from the Sassarian family?" asked an old man with a scar on his left cheek, white curly hair, a bushy white beard, a nobleman's hat, black suit and trousers, a white shirt, a dark purple tie, and a cane.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Saint Satan," Mashiro said with a light laugh.

"?" Satan was somewhat surprised that Mashiro could recognize him, as they hadn't appeared in public for a long time.

"Enough with the small talk, what brings you here, Taoquan Palace?" asked an old man with a bald head, glasses, a hooked nose, thin eyebrows, wearing a white Taoist robe and holding a samurai sword.

The Izanbaron family and the Sassarian family are on good terms, which is why the two families often intermarry. Before the trial, Mashiro asked Saint Rogerier to arrange a meeting with Saint Nasujuro.

“Of course, Lord Nasujuro, my purpose is simple: I want to borrow the historical texts stored in the Holy Land.” Mashiro said with a smile.

"The historical text? What do you want to know?" a gaunt old man with long white hair, a mustache, and a goatee that extended all the way to his upper chest asked in a cold voice.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little curious about what's inside," Mashiro replied.

"I heard not long ago that the Sassarian family had gained a new member, and that Saint Rognir personally brought him back. I was a little worried then, but now it seems..."

"As expected, he has been influenced by the thoughts of those lowly people." A cold voice came from an old man wearing a dark green suit, with a spiky top, a mustache shaped like the number eight, and a birthmark on his forehead.

“That’s truly astonishing,” a middle-aged man with blond hair, brown skin, and a slender build suddenly remarked.

Just as Mashiro uttered that request, he unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, but it seemed to have no effect whatsoever. [Name: Shepard X. Det St.]
