XX-level Hokage

Seeing that Yamato's face was still somewhat rosy after he finished speaking, Mashiro chuckled.

"Yamato, I've heard that the cherry blossoms in Wano Country are very famous. Do you have any recommendations for places to view them?" Mashiro suddenly asked.

"Recommendations? I'm really not sure. I haven't been to Onigashima much since I was 14, especially in recent years," Yamato said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Does that mean you haven't seen cherry blossoms in a long time, Yamato?" Mashiro said with a smile.

"Cherry blossoms, huh? Yes, I did go see them specifically. I only heard Jun mention cherry blossom viewing before," Yamato said thoughtfully.

"Would Yamato like to see the cherry blossoms?" Mashiro suddenly asked. "Huh? √!" Yamato looked at Mashiro with some confusion.

Mashiro stretched out her hand, and a pink-bladed katana appeared out of thin air in her grasp. "A Devil Fruit user?" Yamato asked, somewhat surprised.

From the moment she suddenly appeared outside, Yamato suspected that she was a Devil Fruit user.

"This sword has a very special ability; it can conjure up the image of cherry blossoms falling. Look, 'Fall, Senbonzakura!'" Mashiro's words had barely finished when...

The Senbonzakura in her hand shattered instantly, countless tiny blades floating in the air, resembling pink cherry blossom petals in the dim light. For a moment, Yamato's gaze shifted.

It's really beautiful. It's strange, I didn't get any rest beforehand. And then, in this very moment...

Mashiro placed her hand on Yamato's...

[Five Senses Manipulation][Geass][Visual Memory][Illusion: Bewilderment][Memory Transformation]

In an instant, Mashiro unleashed five skills on Yamato.

The manipulation of the five senses blocked Yamato's perception of his body, Geass planted the seed of attachment in Yamato's heart, visual memory made a slight modification to Yamato's memories, illusion magic loosened Yamato's heart, and memory transformation assimilated the part of his feelings for Oden into Mashiro's body.

Yi Huaqianyan obtained the ability through a lottery draw.

While on Fishman Island, Mashiro drew prizes four times, winning the following items: Bamboo Copter, Memory Transformation, Location Charm, and Repaint. [Bamboo Copter: When worn on the head, it allows for free flight control via thought, requiring no external power.]

[Memory Transformation: This technique can erase or assimilate a victim's emotional connection to a particular thing from their memory, replacing it with another. A single living being can only...]

Unfortunately, it can only be used once, and the emotional connection will result in some degree of emotional damage.

[Location Symbol: Within the same world, silently recite a person's name, then burn the talisman. You will instantly appear beside that person. [Use 1 time]

[Repaint: Allows you to change your pupil color and control it at will]

It's fair to say that, aside from [Memory Transformation], the other three items have little effect on Mashiro. Well, the location markers do have some effect, after all...

Mashiro came directly to Yamato's side through it.

However, Bamboo Dragonfly and Repaint are completely useless for Mashiro.

The bamboo dragonfly's flight? Not only can it fly by itself, but it can also carry others with it.

As for Repaint changing her pupil color, as a member of the Hyuga clan, she doesn't even have pupils, okay?

She withdrew her hand, simultaneously deactivating her ability. Due to the [Five Senses Manipulation], Yamato didn't notice anything unusual. However, she felt inexplicably dizzy at that moment.

Coming to his senses, Yamato looked at Bai, and after a moment of surprise, his expression became incredibly excited, and his eyes became exceptionally bright.

"Lord Mashiro, is it really you?" Yamato asked in surprise. Mashiro reached out and gently stroked Yamato's head.

“Of course it’s me, Yamato. You’ve worked so hard all these years,” Mashiro said gently.

"It wasn't hard work at all. I'm truly overjoyed to see Lady Mashiro again," Yamato said, blushing as he gently rubbed Mashiro's hand against his. [Name: Yamato]

The seed that Mashiro implanted in Yamato was attachment, and it also added some memories of the two of them together. With the blessing of [Memory Transformation], Yamato's original admiration for Oden was also transferred to her.

Therefore, to Yamato at this time, Oden was just a stranger, while Mashiro was the one she clung to and longed for.

Chapter 128: Run

"Take me to Drake and Runyu next. I have something I want to talk to them about," Mashiro said softly.

“Of course, no problem, but it seems Drake has already left Wano Country and is operating independently with his Drake Pirates,” Yamato said.

"I see. Then let's go see Runyu first." After thinking for a moment, Mashiro said.

Drake was, after all, a spy sent by the Navy into the Beasts Pirates. Staying on Onigashima for a long time would inevitably expose his true colors, so it was normal for him to find an excuse to leave.

“Alright, Mashiro-sama, let’s go now. Jun will definitely welcome Mashiro-sama very much,” Yamato said with a smile.

"Now let me help you remove your hand and foot mirrors." Mashiro said with a light laugh. "No need, Mashiro-sama." Yamato shook his head and said.

Then, with a sudden burst of strength, the massive chains binding her wrists and ankles shattered instantly. Seeing this, Mashiro was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered.

After all, she is Kaido's outstanding "son". Kaido's punishment of Yamato is basically due to his anger at her conflict with his will, so he will not use any harsh methods. Therefore, the chains that bind Yamato are just ordinary fine iron chains, without the use of sea stone.

While the iron chains might be sufficient for ordinary prisoners, they were almost useless against a powerful figure like Yamato. The only reason Yamato was still bound was out of respect for her father, Kaido.

At this time, on Oni Island, at Jun's residence

Runti was leaning against the railing, looking at the many pirates in the distance.

Run was born in the Grand Line. Her father, who was also her younger brother Page's father, was a pirate.

After their father's death, Runyu and his younger brother Page One were taken in and adopted by Kaido, who had some connection with their father.

Rune was very clever. She knew that only the strong could have a good life in the world, so she made a bold decision to steal Kaido's two Devil Fruits and become a Devil Fruit user along with Page.

In the end, her gamble paid off. She survived in the Beasts Pirates, a dog-eat-dog world, and even rose to the position of one of the "Flying Six".

"I don't know what Whitebeard and Big Mom are doing right now, but whatever they do, the only one who will ultimately become the Pirate King is Lord Kaido," Run muttered to himself.

Just then, a noise that was all too familiar to her came over.

"Jun! Jun! Come out quickly! I've come to find you!" Hearing this voice, Jun immediately felt a headache coming on. Seriously, Yamato had sneaked out again.

Jun and Yamato had a good relationship when they were young, in fact, they were quite close, considering there were very few women in the entire Beasts Pirates, especially...

They were women of similar age, and one of them was Kaido's biological daughter, while the other was Kaido's adopted daughter, so their relationship naturally became close.

But as they grew older, their relationship gradually became distant.

Because Yamato gradually became incomprehensible to Jun. First, she thought she was a man and always did some annoying things that surprised her. What she couldn't accept even more was that Yamato suddenly started to worship Oden, even though Oden was Kaido's enemy.

With a helpless puff of her cheeks, Run went downstairs.

Yamato was waiting for her downstairs with a girl. Yamato still had that annoyingly stupid look on her face. As for the girl beside her, hmm? White eyes. Does the Beast Pirates even have such a person?

"Long time no see, Jun!" Yamato put his arm around Jun's shoulder in a very familiar manner.

"Didn't Lord Kaido lock you up in the dark dungeon? How did you sneak out again? Have you forgotten how Lord Kaido severely punished you last time you ran away? Don't blame me for not reminding you," Run said, quite annoyed.

"Let's not talk about that now. Come, let me introduce you to Lady Mashiro. She's always been my role model, the person I admire most." Yamato said excitedly.

"Huh?! When did you change your ways? Haven't you always idolized Oden? By the way, who is this guy? Mashiro? I've never heard of that name before," Jun retorted.

Run has a very cute personality and is a bit naive. Most of the sentences she speaks end with "this little girl".

However, he is somewhat irritable and willful, and sometimes makes unreasonable demands. He speaks ruthlessly to anyone and even thinks Kaido is an idiot and dares to talk back to him. His hobbies are making trinkets and teasing his younger brother.

“Oden? Why should I admire that guy? He’s just a somewhat foolish samurai.” Yamato touched his horn and asked in confusion.

Yamato's reverence for Oden stemmed entirely from the idealized image of "light," but now that Mashiro has transferred that image to herself, and after the demystification, Oden's impression on Yamato is reduced to that of a somewhat foolish but powerful samurai.

Upon hearing Yamato's words, Runti looked at her in utter shock, as if she were looking at a vengeful spirit.

It's important to know that Kaido has punished Yamato countless times because of Oden's affair. He has tried every method imaginable, from soft to hard, but not only has it been ineffective, but he has also been infuriated by Yamato every time.

As Kaido's adopted daughter, Run is perfectly aware of Kaido's attitude towards Yamato.

Kaido has said more than once that if Yamato weren't his "son," and the "son" most likely to become his successor, he would have killed Yamato long ago.

Now, Yamato was shocked to say that Miyuki was just a somewhat mediocre samurai.

"I feel like Run is acting a bit strange today. Never mind, come with me and let him meet Mashiro-sama." Yamato said with a smile, leading Run towards Mashiro's location.

"It's you who's weird!!!" Runti couldn't help but think to herself.

Upon arriving in front of Mashiro, Jun carefully examined her and realized that he had indeed never seen this "Mashiro-sama" that Yamato had mentioned. While Jun was examining Mashiro, Mashiro was also looking at Jun.

Runti is a tall, long-legged, and very well-built young woman with thick, blue and fine pink stripes of long hair, a single strand of white hair on her forehead, large pink round eyes, a blue bow and cape, a light blue short skirt and red high heels, a pair of horn-like hairs on her head, and a light pink floral hat.

I really want to see what she looks like under her mask. Mashiro smiled slightly.

"Hello, I'm Run. May I ask who you are?" Run asked in a rather flat tone. "Hello, my name is Mashiro," Mashiro replied softly.

He pondered the information about Runyu that Yamato had mentioned on the way.

Run dotes on her younger brother Page Van. She gets angry at people who look down on Page Van and will fly into a rage if she feels that others' mockery or verbal attacks are directed at her younger brother Page Van.

Sometimes she forces her younger brother Page One to do things, and in order to get the same pampering from him, she will even pretend to be weak and helpless in battle, forcing Page One to come and save her. She will immediately fly into a rage if Page One is hurt.

"A good older sister, isn't she?" Mashiro's smile widened.

Chapter 129: Yamato vs. Jun

"Although I don't know what's going on between the two of you, is there something you need that you came all this way to see me?" Runti asked.

"It's nothing, I just want Miss Run to join me. Join you? What do you mean?" Run looked at Mashiro with a puzzled expression, then glanced at Yamato beside her.

"Lord Mashiro wishes to open Wano Country to the world, and therefore seeks your help," Yamato said with a smile.

"Open the country?! As expected, Yamato, you want to betray Lord Oden. Although I don't know where you found this guy, don't worry, the two of you have absolutely no chance of defeating Lord Kaido!" Jun retreated instantly and then immediately assumed a fighting stance.

So, Miss Run means you're going to refuse? "Mashiro looked at Run and asked softly. [Name: Runti]"

"Of course, I'm one of Lord Kaido's Flying Six!" Jun said with utmost seriousness. "Then I'll leave it to Yamato," Mashiro said with a smile.

“No problem, Lord Mashiro, watch me!” Yamato said, brandishing his spiked club.
