XX-level Hokage

Mashiro planted the seeds of hatred for the World Government in Kaido using [Geass]. The modified part of the [Vision Memory] consists of two parts: one part is Kaido's memories when he was captured by the World Government, and the other part is a bet related to her.

In the first part of Kaido's memories, which Mashiro focused on revising, Kaido was conquered by the world and suffered all kinds of torment, and even killed several of his friends. These memories also correspond to [Geass].

Finally, Mashiro used the "Memory Transformation" technique to transfer Kaido's trust in Rocks and Charlotte Linlin onto her.

In this way, the battle became a gamble, a gamble to test whether Mashiro had the ability to overthrow the world and conquer it. Obviously, Mashiro won.

“A wise choice.” With that, Mashiro continued to use medical ninjutsu on Kaido.

Given Kaido's regenerative abilities and physical strength, Mashiro only needs to restore his spine; the rest of his bones will heal quickly. The next day.

They appeared in the plaza of Ghost Island.

To her right stood Kasagi, Black Maria, Drake, and Page One in that order; to her left stood Jun, Yamato, and Queen in that order as well.

The pirates below the plaza, witnessing this scene, deeply understood what had happened the previous night—a change was imminent.

Chapter 149: Fabricating History

"I think you've all heard the story of the Twenty Kings, haven't you?" Mashiro said to herself, ignoring the noisy pirates below the plaza.

Because of the use of some special abilities, the moment Mashiro spoke, the entire plaza fell completely silent. On Onigashima Plaza, night fell, and flickering firelight illuminated the scene.

Mashiro stood atop the pirates, her figure appearing even more ethereal in the firelight, yet her eyes remained utterly calm. Her long hair swayed gently in the wind, and her clear eyes seemed to pierce through the mists of history.

"Legend has it that the world was not always as we see it now. Long, long ago, twenty people united the world together, and they were later known as the Twenty Lords."

As time passed, their descendants created a powerful organization called the World Government, through which they continued to control the fate of the world and establish all laws and order.

Just then, a burly pirate with a menacing face interrupted her from the crowd: "My lady, we know all this, but what you're saying means nothing to us. We care about the treasure, not this old history."

This is a plant that Mashiro asked Jun to find for her.

Otherwise, given the momentum she had just generated by defeating Kaido, none of the pirates below would have dared to speak.

But today, she had something to say, not to the pirates, but to the messenger seagulls lurking in the air and all around. Yes, she had specifically contacted Morgans yesterday.

Mashiro smiled slightly and continued, "Yes, I know you care about treasure and freedom, but have you ever thought about why there is treasure in the first place?"

Why do pirates exist? What is the root of all this?

She looked around and continued, "The history of the world is woven from countless legends and stories, and apart from the Twenty Kings, all of these legends and stories point to a common goal—ONE PIECE."

Upon hearing this, a young pirate asked curiously, "Sir, what does this have to do with ONE PIECE?" (This is a shill.)

Mashiro continued, "40 years ago, this world was a relatively peaceful one. Although there were pirates, they were more like powerful individuals who controlled their own territories than true pirates."

Until 24 years ago, the great pirate Gol D. Roger arrived at Laugh Tale, and the Roger Pirates dominated the Grand Line, earning him the title of Pirate King.

But strangely enough, a year later, this idol of all pirates chose to surrender himself and was eventually executed in public in Loguetown, East Blue, his birthplace.

His last words before his execution sent people rushing to the sea, leading to a fierce struggle among pirates for 'One Piece,' thus ushering in the Great Pirate Era.

Mashiro began to recount the historical context of this world. Although she had sighed many times before, Mashiro couldn't help but sigh again, finding the reasons for the world's development truly strange.

The burly pirate spoke again, "Sir, we know all that you're saying. Why are you bringing it up all of this now?" The reason is simple: I am an explorer, and on my adventures I have found many pieces of Poneglyphs.

After deciphering the historical text, I discovered an astonishing secret: the history of this world is not as simple as we imagine. The development of history is all traceable.

The Blank Century of History, Celestial Dragons, The Reason Roger Surrendered, ONE PIECE.

A massive conspiracy lies hidden behind history, and the world government deliberately conceals the truth to maintain its rule.

Mashiro's words piqued the interest of all the pirates. Even Yamato and Jun, who were beside her, were startled and moved closer to Mashiro, wanting to hear her more clearly.

"Not all twenty kings who once ruled the world died. One king survived and achieved immortality through a special weapon. In the history of Yongcheng, she single-handedly created the world conquest."

And with her indulgence, the descendants of the Twenty Kings recklessly harmed the world.

In this context, the first pirate, born of destiny, was born.

He united all the other oppressed races and launched a revolution against the king.

Ultimately, he failed because of one person's betrayal. Before he died, he placed the history of this world and the destroyed civilization on an island that no one could find, and engraved the island's coordinates on an indestructible stone.

Centuries passed after his death. The world returned to peace.

During this time, the World Government destroyed everything about him and erased the history of that struggle.

They thought they could erase this history, but they couldn't prevent the birth of the next fighter. Gol D. Roger.

After arriving in Laugh Tale, he learned the truth about the world.

But as he prepared to launch a revolution against direct government, he was infected with an incurable virus, and his time was running out.

Finally, he devised a plan: to use the information from the treasure to turn the entire population into revolutionaries. Everyone who embarks on the Grand Line will, in their pursuit of freedom, clash with the World Government.

"In the end, a new Pirate King will learn everything and lead all those who seek freedom to start a new revolution." Mashiro finished speaking.

The entire square was immersed in a deep emotion.

Seemingly anticipating this situation, Mashiro continued, "But fortunately, not all of the original pirate's followers perished. Some survived and were known as the Pirates. Their mission was to open up a new world, to liberate the people, and to thwart the World Government's conspiracy."

The first part was fabricated by Mashiro based on known history, while the second part was entirely made up. Suddenly, the young pirate in the crowd stood up and excitedly exclaimed, "Sir, are you the guardian of history?"

Mashiro smiled slightly and nodded: "Yes, I am one of the pioneers." A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd.

Mashiro continued, "This is also why I chose to defeat Kaido. As the World Government gradually grows stronger, the pirates' power is weakening. Time is running out to overthrow the World Government."

Therefore, I must let the world hear all of this, and let everyone know the truth.

Her voice echoed in the night sky, each word deeply etched into the hearts of the pirates.

After Mashiro finished speaking, the plaza fell silent. All the pirates were deep in thought; they couldn't believe it, yet they couldn't accept it either, after all, the girl who spoke these words had just defeated one of the Four Emperors.

"Finally, I would like to remind you that, according to the information I received from Vegapunk, the World Government has developed a batch of technological weapons, each with the strength of a vice admiral."

Chapter 150: A Land of Passion

Mashiro dropped another bombshell.

A scientific weapon possessing the strength of a vice admiral?! This is indeed an immense threat to pirates.

"So, what do you plan to do?" a red-haired female pirate asked. She wasn't really asking for trouble.

"How? It's simple. Besides the Beasts Pirates, I also plan to find the other three Yonko (Four Emperors) and the seven Shichibukai (Warlords of the Sea), and form a pirate guild with all the powerful pirates on the seas to fight against the World Government," Mashiro replied with a smile.

"That's impossible. Pirates can't all take orders from the same person at the same time, just like the World Government, and so can you. No matter what your true identity is," the woman continued.

She is a veteran member of the Beasts Pirates, second only to the "Three Disasters" and the "Flying Six".

On stage, Black Maria looked at her reckless sister and couldn't help but sigh. Truly, as foolish as ever.

"Don't worry, I'll explain even if you don't ask. I don't intend to rule you; I'm just temporarily organizing the pirates together," Mashiro said with a light laugh.

“But you have already killed Lord Kaido and seized his position. The Beasts Pirates will never accept your rule,” said an elderly pirate with a white beard.

He is a staunch supporter of Kaido.

"Who said Kaido is dead?" Mashiro suddenly laughed out loud and snapped her fingers.

In an instant, a beam of light appeared out of nowhere, soaring wildly through the sky. "Kai, Lord Kaido?!"

Upon seeing that familiar figure, many members of the Beasts Pirates showed fervor, with many even kneeling on the ground. The Azure Dragon landed on the platform, transforming into Kaido in human form.

Looking at the many pirates below the stage, Kaido said, "Do as she says."

"But, Lord Kaido... some pirates still don't understand. I said, do as she says!" Kaido roared.

"Yes, Lord Kaido!" Instantly, all the pirates agreed. Kaido had no intention of engaging in friendly conversation with them.

Actually, Mashiro didn't. If it weren't for putting on a show for this world, she would have already used force to intimidate them. "Well then, everyone from the Beasts Pirates, it's a pleasure to cooperate," Mashiro said with a smile.

But her gaze didn't fall on any of the pirates; instead, she looked at the sky, where numerous newsbirds were flying at full speed toward the island where Morgans was located.

Everything that has happened up to this point today is just a play designed by Mashiro.

In the play, Mashiro is the protagonist, Yamato and Jun are supporting characters, Kaido is an important supporting character, the pirates in the audience are extras, and the audience consists of everyone in the world.

After explaining everything else about Wano Country, the Zou furry kingdom, and the Beast Pirates, Mashiro left Wano Country with Shirahoshi and the others who were already there.

"Where to next?" Carrot glanced back at Wano Country and asked curiously. "I...I want to see Skypiea..." Shirahoshi said sweetly.

“I think the same thing as Shirahoshi-chan! I also want to see the Sky Islands,” Carrot said, hugging Shirahoshi and smiling. During this time, Carrot and Shirahoshi had become very good friends.

Carrot is innocent and Shirahoshi is adorable; both are somewhat naive and childish, making them kind of like-minded people who "wish they had met sooner."

"I'm fine with anything. I haven't really left Wano Country much yet," Yamato said with a smile. When leaving Wano Country, Mashiro took Yamato with her but not Jun.

Ulti has many things to do with the Beasts Pirates. As for Yamato, she's too busy to understand the missions she's given, but she keeps her by her side as a fighting force to protect Shirahoshi and Carrot.

Shirley didn't offer any opinion; she had already divined their next destination through the crystal.

York remained silent, quietly navigating the boat. Her expression was one of utter shock and complexity.

York truly never imagined that Shinji could defeat Kaido and bring the entire White Beast Pirates under her control. But since things had come to this, she could only accept it, and at this point, she gradually began to change her mindset.

What began as resentment at being forced into becoming a velvet ball has transformed into a realization that it's not so bad, considering that according to Mashiro's plan, she truly has the potential to overthrow the World Government and establish a new order.

Once the new order is established, as someone close to Mashiro, she will definitely gain enormous power and, to some extent, still be able to fulfill her original wishes.

"I'm sorry, we're not going to the Sky Island next." Mashiro said with a smile, watching Carrot and Yamato discussing excitedly. "Then where are we going, Mashiro-sama?" Carrot asked curiously.

“Our destination is an island nation in the New World called Dressrosa,” Mashiro said, stroking Carrot’s fluffy head, especially kneading her fluffy ears.

“Dresrossa? Never heard of it. Shirahoshi, what about you?” Carrot shook her head, then looked at Shirahoshi and asked, “I haven’t heard of that name either.” Shirahoshi shook her head slightly and said.

"Dressrosa also has another name, the Land of Love, Passion, and Toys, which I think you'll like," Masashi said with a smile, fiddling with Carrot's perky ear.

"Toys?! Yay!" Carrot's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing "toys," and she cheered. After playing with Carrot, Shirahoshi, and Yamato for a while, Mashiro quietly approached York.

York, who was steering the ship, suddenly felt a hand touching him... and his nerves tightened. "Lord Mashiro."

"Could York-chan tell me about Dressrosa?" Mashiro asked, gently stroking the skin.

Mashiro didn't know much about Dressrosa either. "Okay."

York adjusted his body slightly to make Mashiro more comfortable and said, "Dressrosa is a tropical island with a resort atmosphere, known as the 'Land of Love, Passion, and Toys.' The nearby coast has a large number of octagonal rocks and is the base of Donquixote Doflamingo, a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. It was in Dressrosa that he set up a factory to manufacture artificial Zoan-type Devil Fruits."

The island of Dressrosa is filled with the fragrance of flowers and is renowned throughout the world for its exquisite cuisine.

Besides the food and music, young women and sexy dance moves are also an important part of Dressrosa, where women are very skilled at dancing.

However, just as its nickname, the island of love and passion, is reflected in the excessive obsession with love, which also creates a strong sense of jealousy among the women. If betrayed by a man, they will commit the horrific act of assassination. The more beautiful the woman, the more ruthless she is. They are clear about love and hate, so emotional disputes and even physical conflicts are common occurrences.

For unknown reasons, local residents are accustomed to coexisting with living dolls. Some doll soldiers even serve as patrols in the city to maintain order. The most famous doll soldiers in the area are known as the Thunder Soldiers. They guard the bullfighting arena in Dressrosa and usually use force to drive away those who are prohibited from entering the arena and who repeatedly refuse to listen to advice.

Furthermore, since 700 years ago, the island's inhabitants have still believed in the existence and legends of fairies, and according to the original investigation, dwarfs do indeed still exist beneath Dressrosa.
