XX-level Hokage

Subconsciously, Mashiro looked in the direction of the sound.

A girl who resembled a white rabbit, with short golden hair, white fur all over her body, two long tubular ears, and a short, round, fluffy tail, was standing on a tree, curiously watching Mashiro and the others.

"Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Mink." Mashiro replied with a smile.

Seemingly sensing that Mashiro's tone meant no harm, Carrot used her strength to leap down from the tree, landing near the two of them and curiously looking at Mashiro.

Similarly, Shinji also looked at Carrot with some curiosity.

Upon getting closer, Mashiro noticed that the girl in front of him was petite and slender, with a pair of sexy long legs. Furthermore, her breasts were not much smaller than Nami's; it was truly astonishing that such a slender waist could produce such full breasts.

In addition, the girl from before the year appeared to be not wearing any outer pants, but rather a pair of black shorts that resembled underwear in length. As for her upper body, she was simply wearing a large t-shirt with a carrot pattern printed on it.

"Hello, my name is Mashiro, this is my companion Yamato, and the two who fainted are her friends." Mashiro extended her hand and introduced herself first.

Seeing the incredibly white hand, Carrot offered her own hairy palm.

"Um, hello, my name is Carrot, a member of the Rabbit-Furry Tribe. I currently serve as the 'King Bird' of the Zou Furry Kingdom, a member of the Musketeer Team, and a messenger for the alternation of day and night." Carrot smiled and revealed all her background.

[Name: Gallo]

Gender: Female Age: 14

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Miss Carrot,” Mashiro said with a light laugh, then squeezed Carrot’s hand. It was soft and fluffy, and felt wonderful to the touch.

Carrot completely ignored Mami's secret squeezing of her hand; instead, she felt embarrassed by Mami's overly formal way of addressing her. It was the first time someone had ever called her Miss Carrot.

"Miss Zhenbai, how did you all come to the Zouwu Hairy Kingdom? No humans have been here for many years." After letting go of her hand, Carrot asked curiously.

"Just call me Mashiro. As for how we got to Zou Island, it was an accident. We were attacked by the Beasts Pirates, and two of our companions were injured and unconscious. We landed on Zou Island to treat them," Mashiro explained softly.

"The Beasts Pirates?! Is that the Beasts Pirates that Kaido belongs to?!" Carrot exclaimed in surprise. "Does Miss Carrot know him too?" Mashiro asked softly.

“Of course, I’ve heard from other members of the clan that Lord Oden, a close friend of Lord Inuarashi and Lord Nekomamushi, was killed by Kaido, and that the Zou furry kingdom severed its alliance with Wano Country because of him,” Carrot replied.

“I’ve heard about this too. It’s just a cruel twist of fate,” Mashiro said with a sigh.

“That’s right. If it weren’t for my father… Kaido and his ally Kurozumi Orochi, Wano Country might have opened its borders long ago,” Yamato said with some resentment. Under the influence of Mashiro’s power, Yamato no longer had any feelings for Oden, but she still retained the goal of opening the country.

“I don’t know much about the others, but Mashiro-chan… Mashiro, since you are Kaido’s enemies, I think Lord Inuarashi and Lord Nekomamushi will definitely welcome you. As for your friend’s injury, I can help you contact Dr. Mia Goat. With him there, he will definitely be able to heal your friend quickly,” Carrot said with a smile.

"Then I'll have to trouble Carrot." Mashiro took another step closer in her tone.

"No trouble at all," Carrot said somewhat shyly. [Carrot's Friendship Points +10]

“But let’s not trouble those important figures for now. I think we should wait until they’ve both recovered before we go to see the King of the Furry Kingdom. Right now, we just want to find a place to stay,” Mashiro said with a smile.

"If you really don't mind where you're staying, you can stay at my place for now," Carrot warmly invited.

“Thank you very much for your invitation, Carrot, but we are humans after all, and I’ve heard that some Mink tribes really hate humans. If we stay at your house, it might cause you some trouble, so let’s not go for it,” Mashiro politely declined.

"Don't worry, the citizens of the Fluffy Kingdom are all very, very good people, and our residences are all very scattered. My house is located in a rather remote area, so there's absolutely no need to worry about anyone else finding out," Carrot said with a smile.

“Since you put it that way, Carrot-chan, then we’ll take our leave.” Mashiro took another step closer to them. “It’s alright, it’s alright.” Carrot blushed slightly and waved her furry little hand.

Then Mashiro, Yamato, and the four of them—Jun and Peggy—followed Carrot deeper into the Zou Forest. Along the way, Mashiro easily extracted information about the Zou Fluffy Kingdom from Carrot.

The Zou Moo-chan Kingdom has two rulers, one ruling the day and the other the night: Duke Inuarashi, the ruler of the day, and Neko-Snake, the ruler of the night. To protect the kingdom, the Zou Moo-chan Kingdom has divided its small number of mink people into two organizations: the Knights of the Night and the Fire...

The Knights are a trio that guards the Whale Forest, the former stronghold of the "Fluffy Kingdom" of Claudu. Anyone who dares to invade the Whale Forest will be stopped and punished. The Musketeers are guards the Inuarashi Medical Clinic behind the right flank stronghold of the "Fluffy Kingdom," responsible for protecting Duke Inuarashi's safety. The Musketeers are elite members of the Mink Tribe.

The British warrior, Captain Sicilian, is the captain of the Inuarashi Musketeer Squad who will give his all in everything.

Furthermore, Zou Island has a special climate where the elephant god sprays water on the elephant's back twice a day, which the Mink tribe calls "fire-breathing rain" or "rain of grace." It is precisely because of this "rain of grace" that the crops and fruits on Zou Island grow so abundantly.

Soon, the group arrived at a small wooden villa located on the right edge of Zou Forest, which was handcrafted by Carrot and several of her friends.

Chapter 132: Submission

After settling in at Carrot's house for the time being, Mashiro took advantage of the night to bring Jun and Page One to the depths of Zou Forest. As a green light appeared, Jun woke up from his coma.

"What... happened to me?" Run opened her eyes groggily and found herself in an extremely dark wooden house. Instantly, memories from before she lost consciousness flooded into Run's mind; she remembered Yamato and the girl named Makoto.

"Oh no, I have to tell Lord Kaido right away!" Run wanted to take action, but found himself tightly bound by green vines.

"Don't try anymore, Miss Run." A clear female voice suddenly rang out. "You..."

Jun turned his head to look at the source of the sound and saw the girl named Mashiro, and at her feet...? Page One!!!

"What did you do to Xiaopei?! You damned bastard!!!" Run struggled to activate his Devil Fruit power to attack Mashiro, but found himself...

Completely unable to muster any strength, she was in disbelief; this was the first time she had ever encountered such a situation.

"Don't worry, it's just ordinary anesthetic. However, I added a little bit of sea stone to it. As for your brother, he's still maintaining vital signs for now," Mashiro said lightly.

"What exactly do you want?" Runyu suppressed his anger and asked. "This doesn't seem like the attitude a prisoner should have," Zhenbai said calmly.

Jun was about to mock Mashiro, but seeing Page One lying unconscious beside him, he finally gritted his teeth and asked with a smile, "May I ask what brings you and my younger brother here, Lord Mashiro?"

"Nothing's wrong. I didn't mean you any harm. Didn't you two attack me first?" Mashiro asked with a light laugh. After asking, Jun suddenly didn't know how to refute it. It was indeed she who launched the attack first, after hearing that Yamato and that girl named Mashiro were going to attack Kai...

As soon as the adults launched their attack, she immediately attacked Mashiro, wanting to eliminate the threat directly. She knew that Peggy was the only one who could do this, and that she attacked her after seeing her unconscious on the ground.

"So, what do you want in return for our lives? Do you want information about Lord Kaido, or do you want to use us as bargaining chips to exchange for something from Lord Kaido?" Runyu sighed slightly and asked.

In contrast, Mashiro replied, "It depends on what you're willing to give. I always prefer to let others make their own choices rather than giving them the right one myself. You'd better make a choice quickly; your brother won't last much longer."

But Run immediately became anxious and said urgently, "Save my brother first, and I will definitely make a choice that will satisfy you!"

After asking the question, Mashiro shook her head slightly and said, "It seems you haven't come to terms with reality yet. Do you think I should save Page One just because of your words? You should know that she attacked my enemy. As for the information about Kaido, Yamato has already told you everything. So you need to think carefully. What value do you have left for me to save Page One?"

"What is its value..."

Run was speechless for a moment after hearing this. She had forgotten that with Yamato around, she had no intelligence advantage whatsoever.

What could she do now? Just then, Run suddenly noticed Mashiro's gaze, then lowered her head slightly and saw the full, ripe fruit on her chest.

Her eyes seemed to be looking at her... Wait, she's a woman too, could it be...? Although it felt unlikely, it was her only hope.

"Lord Mashiro, I... have a bug. Could you please shoo it away for me?" Run said, barely suppressing the urge to grind his teeth.

“Of course, Miss Jun.” “Finally noticed?” Mashiro chuckled, reaching out her hand to Jun’s. “Hmm.”

As Mashiro moved, a feeling he had never experienced before rushed into Jun's brain.

"Shameless! hantai! baga!" After silently cursing in her heart, Runti thought sadly that she had no other choice but to do this, otherwise she would lose Pageman, her closest relative.

"Lord Mashiro, I... I'm willing to pay any price to save Peggy." Runte made up her mind and then closed her eyes as she spoke. However, as she finished speaking, two tears of resentment rolled down her cheeks.

It sounds ridiculous to think that she would give her body to save Page Van, but Run realized that it was her only option.

Although Run cared a lot about her chastity, it was not that important compared to her only brother, Page Van. Memories of her time with Page Van kept flashing through her mind, and she was more than willing to give up her body to give Page Van a chance to live.

Many pirates in the Beasts Pirates had abducted women, some of whom were even her subordinates. She didn't stop them at the time; one could only say...

What goes around comes around, and now it's her turn.

The only saving grace was that the person who "forcibly took" her was a woman, and a rather attractive one at that, so she wasn't really at a disadvantage. That was the only way Run could console herself.

"Miss Run, I don't like seeing you cry. It makes me seem like I'm being unreasonable," Mashiro said gently as she wiped away Run's tears.

"As for any price you mentioned, what do you mean? What value do you have now?" Mashiro asked, hoping that Jun would answer for himself.

Upon hearing this question, Run felt a surge of shame and anger, but this was quickly followed by a deep sense of powerlessness. What could she do now? The price of being tough was to drag Page Van down with her.

"I, I'm willing to give, give... my... body," Runyu repeated, closing her eyes in shame and turning her head away. Her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible by the end.

"How can I hear you when your voice is so soft? Since you're unwilling, then forget it..." Mashiro finished speaking and prepared to turn and leave, but before she could take a step, Jun grabbed her sleeve. Then she heard Jun lower his head and say in a tearful voice, "Even if it costs me my body, please, save Page One!"

“This should be your own choice, I didn’t force you, Run…” As she spoke, Mashiro turned around and extended her hand to Run. Run then closed her eyes.

Mashiro first took off Runyu's mask, revealing a beautiful and charming face.

Then the hand continued downwards. Tearing.

Her moist outer garment was directly... revealing her ample figure. "For Xiao Pei..."

Chapter 133: The Serpent Who Stole the Kingdom

When Page One woke up, he found himself in an unfamiliar room. "Where am I...? That guy!"

Thinking of Mashiro and Jun, Peggy quickly got up and looked around.

Upon seeing the blue-haired figure in the distance, Peggy breathed a heavy sigh of relief. She rushed to Run's side and asked with concern, "Sis, are you alright?"

Run turned around, her face somewhat pale, and replied, "It's okay, Xiao Pei, I'm fine." "Sis, you..." Seeing that Run wasn't wearing a mask, Pei Jiwan looked puzzled.

"By the way, sis, what about those two? Yamato and her accomplice!" Peggy asked, her face grim. "Are you calling me?"

Just then, a clear, crisp voice rang out.

Page One turned his head and saw the white-eyed girl who had defeated him not long ago. He quickly shielded Jun behind him and activated his Devil Fruit ability to transform into a half-beast.

"Don't be so fierce. You've only just recovered from your weakened state. I don't want to save you again," Mashiro said slowly.

Upon hearing Mashiro's words, Peggy's expression became puzzled; he didn't quite understand what Mashiro meant. "What are you talking about?" Peggy asked.

"Hey, you can ask your sister," Mashiro said softly, pointing to Jun.

At this moment, Runti gently patted Peggy's shoulder and said, "Little Peggy, disengage from combat mode."

Despite some doubts, Peggy obediently transformed into human form. "This is Zou Island. You can go back to Oni Island now," Mashiro said softly.

Hearing Mashiro's words, Page One became even more confused. They had captured him from Onigashima and brought him to Zou Island, then did nothing and asked nothing, and then just released him like that?!

"What exactly are you up to?" Page Van asked with extreme caution.

"A wicked idea? No, no, no, of course there's a price to pay for wanting to leave, but someone has already paid that price for you." Mashiro glanced at Jun and said with a meaningful smile.

"What nonsense are you talking about, sis? Let's get out of here," Peggy said, pulling Run's hand.

"No need, Xiao Pei, you can leave first," Run said calmly. "Big sister???" Pei looked at Run in confusion.

Run remained silent, seemingly unsure how to explain herself.

“Didn’t I tell you? Someone has already paid the price for you,” Mashiro said softly. Looking at Jun, who remained silent beside her, Page One fell silent, then prepared to leave alone.

Just then, Run suddenly hugged Page One and whispered in his ear, "Go back and tell Lord Kaido about this guy immediately, and warn him to be careful!"

Page One then sped away, disappearing from the spot in a few seconds. Watching the direction Page One had gone, Mashiro gave a meaningful smile.

Mashiro let Page One leave not only because of Jun's request. As a "newcomer," Jun didn't hold that much weight in her heart yet. It would have been more like it if she had replaced him with Izumi, Kaguya, or Shirahoshi and Amaterasu.
