XX-level Hokage

But what could she do? York laughed self-deprecatingly at her current situation.

After Mashiro left, Neptune visibly relaxed and asked Shirley, "Mrs. Shirley, where did you accompany Lord Mashiro? What method do you plan to use to solve Shirahoshi's body shape problem?"

There were some questions Neptune couldn't ask Mashiro directly, so he could only ask Shirley, who was also a mermaid, after Mashiro left. Shirley had already anticipated this question and, after thinking for a moment, said, "We went to Vegapunk's hometown, Eghardt." "Vegapunk?!" Neptune was quite surprised, having long heard of Vegapunk's great reputation.

“That’s right. Mashiro used her identity to contact Vegapunk, and then combined her abilities with Vegapunk’s technology to obtain a method that would allow Princess Shirahoshi to change her body shape at will,” Shirley said without batting an eye.

"I see. If it's the rumored Vegapunk, then it's not surprising." Neptune breathed a slight sigh of relief.

His only concern was what method Mashiro might use to harm Shirahoshi, such as a Devil Fruit, whose side effects would be like an incurable poison to fish-men.

“The person next to me is Vegapunk’s student, scientist York. To prevent any accidents, Mashiro brought her along as well,” Shirley continued.

Regarding York's health issues, Mashiro had already spoken to Shirley about it while they were still on the warship, telling her how to explain it to outsiders.

“A student of Vegapunk?! Really, I knew this beautiful stranger next to me was someone.” Upon hearing Shirley’s introduction, Neptune immediately said enthusiastically.

Vegapunk is known as "the man with the world's greatest brain" and is also the leader of naval scientists. He is a person that everyone must respect.

Meanwhile, Mashiro had already arrived at the Hard Shell Tower by fishing boat.

"Knock knock knock" The door was knocked on.

A soft, sweet voice came from the doorway: "Who is it? Is it Grandpa Seahorse? Or Father?" "It's me," Mashiro replied softly.

For some reason, hearing Shirahoshi's voice would inexplicably give Mashiro a feeling of joy.

"Shin-Shin-Shiro-sama?! You've finally come to see me."

A joyful sound came from the doorway, and then the door opened, revealing a beautiful mermaid girl with flowing pink curly hair, a taiyaki-shaped hair accessory, seashell-shaped earrings, bright blue eyes, a pretty face, a full bust, and a pink fishtail in varying shades.

"Long time no see, Shirahoshi-chan." Mashiro flew up and landed on Shirahoshi's nose, smiling as she spoke. "Yes, yes, I'm very happy to see Mashiro-sama again," Shirahoshi replied with a smile.

Then Shirahoshi swam into the Hard Shell Tower with Mashiro and closed the door of the Hard Shell Tower.

"Shirahoshi, I have some good news for you," Mashiro suddenly said. "What good news?" Shirahoshi asked curiously.

“I’ve already spoken with King Neptune, and he’s agreed to let you travel on land with me. Then you’ll be able to see the forest and the sky with your own eyes,” Mashiro said with a smile.

"Really?!" Bai Xing said in disbelief, her eyes instantly welling up with tears.

It's worth noting that Shirahoshi spends most of her time in the Hard Shell Tower. The last time she left the Hard Shell Tower was because of Mashiro, which allowed her to take a trip around Fishman Island.

As for going to land, that was a dream she couldn't even imagine.

“Of course it’s true. If you don’t believe me, you can ask His Majesty Neptune later.” Seeing Shirahoshi’s expression, Mashiro said with a smile. “Thank you so much, Mashiro-sama!!!” Overwhelmed with emotion, Shirahoshi hugged Mashiro tightly.

Then she realized what had happened and hurriedly brought Mashiro over, asking worriedly, "Are you alright, Mashiro-sama? I didn't mean to." Mashiro shook her head and said, "It's alright, don't worry."

Given Zixing's size, her strength was considerable, but it was still insignificant compared to Zhenzi's physical abilities.

"But, is it really okay for me to go ashore? With my size, I'll definitely cause a lot of trouble for Lady Shirahoshi." After the initial joy, Shirahoshi immediately became worried again.

Given her size, even on Fishman Island, she attracted a lot of attention when she left the Hard Shell Tower last time, let alone going to the mainland. "Don't worry, I've already thought of a way. Come on, open your mouth, ah~" Mashiro said softly.

Hearing Mashiro's words, Shirahoshi was somewhat puzzled, but she still took the opportunity to open her mouth.

Immediately afterward, Mashiro flew up and arrived at Shirahoshi's lips. Looking at the cherry-pink lips in front of her, she threw the modified Devil Fruit into them.

Shirahoshi seemed to realize something had entered her mouth, her sea-blue eyes looking at Mashiro curiously. "Try refusing," Mashiro continued.

Upon hearing this, Shirahoshi closed her mouth and began to chew. The basketball-sized Devil Fruit looked like a soybean in her mouth. "Lord Shirahoshi, what is this? It tastes so strange," Shirahoshi said, sticking out her tongue.

While Vegapunk altered the structure of Devil Fruits to some extent, he was unable to change their strange taste.

"It's a medicine for the body. You can try it now. Imagine your body shrinking," Mashiro asked with a light laugh. Hearing this, Shirahoshi began to imagine.

Devil Fruits allow the host to discover their abilities to a certain extent, and given Mashiro's size, Jisei quickly and successfully activated the power of the large and small Devil Fruits.

Her size shrank visibly, and soon she became the size of a mermaid, no, even shorter than a normal mermaid. Shirahoshi's current height is only about 1.6 meters.

Race: Mermaid; Faction: Fishman Island; Haki: None

Devil Fruit: Paramecia Type - Big/Small Fruit

Special Ability: "Sea King" Height: 165cm Luck Value: 100 Recognition Level: 80

[“Aquaman” can summon Sea Kings to become his allies and hear their voices.]

[Paramecia Type: Size Fruit: The user can freely control their body size, and the density of their body will change along with their size] "What's going on?!" Shirahoshi exclaimed in utter astonishment as she looked around.

"I actually shrunk!!!" Bai Xing exclaimed excitedly.

Her size has brought her many troubles, whether it's not being able to be held in her mother's arms like her brothers, not being able to make friends with peers when she was young, or the troubles of traveling now, all of which make it difficult for her to like her huge body.

At this moment, her body actually turned white and shrank.

"Was the bed always this big?!" Shirahoshi looked around curiously, exclaiming in surprise at the endless bedclothes. "Well, the medicine I gave you earlier not only makes you smaller, but it also lets you grow bigger again whenever you want, perfectly solving all your problems," Mashiro said with a smile.

"Thank you so much, Mashiro-sama!" Shirahoshi rushed to Mashiro's side, hugged her tightly, and said with tears in her eyes and a sob in her voice.

"You're always such a crybaby, Shirahoshi-chan," Mashiro said softly, gently wiping away Shirahoshi's tears.

Looking up at Mashiro, Shirahoshi's body was slightly dazed. It was the first time she had seen someone from this perspective, and the first time she had observed Mashiro so carefully.

Lady Mashiro, you're so beautiful!

Unable to resist, Bai Xing raised her hand to stroke Zhenbai's face, gently brushing aside Zhenbai's loose hair. Her fair hand landed on Zhenbai's face, which was even softer than her palm.

Looking at Shirahoshi's eyes and movements, Mashiro inexplicably felt a sense of longing. The long-lost desire made her throat dry and itchy, and the restlessness in her chest made Mashiro almost unable to control herself.

Immediately afterwards, Mashiro couldn't resist turning her head and kissing Shirahoshi's palm. It started as a light kiss, but then, like a floodgate opening, it became unstoppable.

Shirahoshi seemed confused about what had happened, why Mashiro had kissed her hand, and what kind of look Mashiro was giving her.

She simply stared blankly at Mashiro with her sea-blue eyes, making no attempt to look away. Mashiro kissed her from her palm to the back of her hand, then slowly moved her kisses towards her arm. It was a kiss.

Shirahoshi's hazy mind seemed to understand something; Mashiro was kissing her, kissing her earnestly, restlessly, without a trace of jest.

Mashiro could barely control herself; she wanted to lick every inch of her soft skin, and the frustration in her chest turned into pure pleasure.

A sense of satisfaction that comes from finally committing evil after a long period of forbearance.

"Lady Mashiro," Shirahoshi was still gazing at Mashiro, her eyes moist, filled with doubt and curiosity, and an alluring temptation that drew one in. She understood nothing.

Mashiro leaned down and continued kissing Shirahoshi's smooth forehead, her fair cheeks, and her small chin, her soft hand resting on Mashiro's.

On her shoulder, she let Mashiro do whatever she wanted to her. If Mashiro kissed her forehead, she would close her eyes. If Mashiro wanted to kiss her ear, she would turn her face to the side. If Mashiro wanted to kiss her neck, she would obediently tilt her head back and make a cat-like sound.

Mashiro knew that no matter what she wanted to do, Shirahoshi would never refuse her. After all, she trusted her so much, listened to her so much, and was so naive.

So no matter what she does to Shirahoshi, she will only think that she is playing around with her.

Next, if Zhenri takes one more step, becomes a little more selfish, and a little more wicked, Rixing will become completely hers.

However, Mashiro still prefers to save the best things for the right time. So she stopped what she was about to do.

"Master Mashiro..." Shirahoshi called out Mashiro's name in a soft, sweet voice.

Her voice was very pleasant, and her body was so warm. Her pink fishtail swayed gently, as if inviting something.

Mashiro looked up at her face. Her expression still held a hint of doubt, but her posture was extremely submissive. Her pupils were moist and the corners of her eyes were slightly red. Her messy hair fell on the huge bed, making one feel both guilty and incredibly impulsive.

Shirahoshi is so pure and beautiful that one can't help but want to cherish her, yet also want to tease her. She possesses a childlike and pure beauty.

Mashiro avoided Shirahoshi's lips and instead kissed the corner of her tender lips. Shirahoshi hooked her arms around Mashiro's neck, and Mashiro turned to the side and hugged her completely.

Her body was slender and soft, and her skin was incredibly smooth. Compared to Mashiro's burning body, it was cool and comfortable, making Mashiro want to crush her in her arms.

Kissing was still too far away for Shirahoshi at this point, so she really held back.

"Mashiro-sama, Mashiro-sama," Shirahoshi called out Mashiro's name in a sticky, whiny voice, as if she could no longer bear Mashiro's enthusiasm.

Her body was limp, pressed tightly against Mashiro's chest, her hands gripping Mashiro's clothes tightly, snuggling against him affectionately. "Shirahoshi-chan, do you like me?" Mashiro asked softly.

Mashiro rarely asks this question because, whether she was Uchiha Zero or Hyuga Mashiro, she rarely had the chance to simply fall in love with anyone.

Shirahoshi inexplicably stirred her heart, as if she were seeing the innocent Izumi from her previous life.

Upon hearing this, Shirahoshi said to Mashiro almost without hesitation, as naturally and naturally as she had always spoken sweet words, "Mashiro-sama, Shirahoshi loves you."

Looking into Mashiro's clear, innocent eyes, hearing her sincere and passionate words, and with such a calm and understanding expression, she said, "She's so cute." Mashiro smiled and said.

Mashiro then led Shirahoshi out of the Hard Shell Tower and headed towards the banquet hall.

Sitting on the fishing boat, Shirahoshi still looked around with great curiosity at everything, including the huge flounder at her feet.

This was Shirahoshi's first time riding a fishing boat. They arrived at the banquet hall.

Neptune, Shark Star, Emperor Star, and Sunfish all stared in disbelief at Mashiro, who had transformed into the size of a normal mermaid.

"Father, Brother Shark Star, Brother Emperor Star, Brother Overturned Star," Bai Xing seemed a little embarrassed, and his tone became inexplicably awkward.

"Although I have unwavering faith in Lord Mashiro's abilities, seeing Shirahoshi in person still fills me with immense awe. I am truly grateful to you," Neptune said to Mashiro, his gaze lingering on Shirahoshi.

As a relative, he was well aware of all the troubles and worries that Shirahoshi had because of her body shape. When she was a child, Shirahoshi had cried about it more than once.

Chapter 123: Seasickness

“Since this concerns Princess Shirahoshi, I should naturally do my utmost,” Mashiro replied softly.

At this moment, Bai Xing's three older brothers also gathered around, curiously looking at Bai Xing. This made Bai Xing feel inexplicably embarrassed.

After a moment, Mashiro spoke up and asked, "Then, Your Majesty Neptune, I will take Princess Shirahoshi with me for now. I assure you that I will absolutely protect her safety, and I will send her back when she wants to return to Fishman Island."

“Alright, I’ll have to trouble you now, Lord Mashiro,” Neptune said earnestly.

Finally, amidst Shirahoshi's tearful eyes, Mashiro and the others boarded a Seastone warship and left the port of Fishman Island. A girl's feelings are always fickle.

After sailing away from Fishman Island for a while, Shirahoshi curiously looked around at the seascape, especially the sky, where she could clearly see that she was getting closer and closer to the light.

As Shirahoshi gets further and further away from Fishman Island...

Several enormous eyes opened, gazing in the direction the white star had departed. They communicated with each other through a special telepathic connection.

"It's Lord Neptune!" "It's Lord Neptune!"

"Why would Lord Poseidon leave Fishman Island?"

"Yes, why did Lord Poseidon leave Fishman Island?"

"Should we stop them?" "Should we?"
