XX-level Hokage

The immense pressure submerged them, and they gradually disappeared into the night sky.

Chapter 165: All Nations (The End)

Just above the Whole Cake Island shrouded in night, the giant rock sphere sealed within the "Super Planetary Devastation" seal suddenly began to tremble violently. Tiny cracks spread from the surface of the sphere, and the rock was continuously shattered by the impact. Finally, with a loud bang, Big Mom emerged from the sphere, like a raging war god, her entire body enveloped in the power of the Soul Fruit, her eyes glaring angrily at Mashiro.

BigMom roared furiously, "A mere brat dares to challenge me? Shinbai, you're so arrogant!" BigMom was completely out of her mind at this point.

She unleashed the full power of her Soul Fruit ability, flames and lightning swirling around her, and the sky was torn apart by her domineering aura, a terrifying sense of oppression enveloping the entire plaza.

The flaming sword "Prometheus" and the lightning spear "Zeus" appeared on the left and right sides respectively. With a sudden wave of her hand, the flames and lightning seemed to come alive and frantically attacked Mashiro.

Faced with the fierce attack, a cold smile flashed in Mashiro's eyes.

She deftly traced several elegant arcs in the air, dodging most of the attacks. Then, with a gentle wave of her hand, an invisible chakra barrier instantly opened, blocking all the incoming flames and lightning.

"Is that all you've got, Big Mom?" Mashiro laughed sarcastically, her tone laced with disdain. "Compared to Kaido, your attacks are far too monotonous."

BigMom roared through gritted teeth, her voice shaking the surrounding buildings. Her face flushed red with rage, and then she swung her hands violently, unleashing the full power of the Soul-Soul Fruit. The dense flames and lightning in the sky surged towards Mashiro like a raging tide.

She herself, like a ferocious beast, wielded her longsword and palm strike, directly slashing at Zhen Zi.

Mashiro smiled slightly, advancing instead of retreating. Her Rinnegan suddenly shone with a sharp light, and she formed hand seals, releasing a chakra barrier at an incredible speed, instantly neutralizing the flames and lightning.

Then she stretched out her right hand, and chakra condensed into countless rapidly spinning wind blades, pointing directly at Big Mom. "Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!"

The wind blades roared out, rushing towards BigMom's front with unstoppable force, tearing through the air with the whirlwinds they created, a truly awe-inspiring sight.

Although BigMom sensed its power, she did not back down. With a roar, she swung "Napoleon" with both hands, shattering the wind blades one by one, sparks flying everywhere.

The two clashed fiercely, neither willing to give an inch.

Mashiro's attacks were precise and swift, each strike carrying deadly intent, while Big Mom, with her powerful aura and physical defense, deflected Mashiro's relentless onslaught.

Although she was repeatedly repelled, she quickly recovered and continued to launch a strong counterattack.

In the midst of the fierce battle, BigMom's thick body was like an impenetrable wall, and any attack seemed unable to leave any substantial damage in front of her.

Mashiro pondered, "Her defensive capabilities are indeed extraordinary, almost stronger than Kaido's in some ways. In terms of attack alone, unless she directly uses Yin Yang..."

Kill her, otherwise it will be difficult to bring her down completely.

Just then, BigMom suddenly stood up again, roaring as she launched an even fiercer attack on Mashiro. Flames and lightning intertwined once more, sweeping towards Mashiro like a raging storm.

Mashiro took a few steps back, her hands gently forming a hand seal in the air, preparing to unleash her skill again, when she suddenly sensed a familiar figure quietly approaching from behind.

That's Stussy.

BigMom was completely unfazed by her sudden appearance. She knew perfectly well that Stussy was a clone of Bajin, so she had no defenses against Stussy.

Stussy moved lightly and silently, approaching BigMom from behind.

A sinister smile played on her lips, her eyes gleaming with a chilling resolve. She lowered her head and bit down on Big Mom's neck. Caught off guard, Big Mom froze. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared down at Stussy, her gaze filled with anger and confusion. "You... Ba Jin! How dare you!" Big Mom's voice trembled with blood loss and shock, but her body grew weaker and weaker.

His movements gradually became stiff.

Stussy gazed at her calmly and whispered coldly, "Lingling, I'm sorry, but today, the dominance of this island must be handed over to someone else."

BigMom's body gradually lost its support, and she collapsed heavily to the ground, finally passing away.

Stussy smiled slightly, raised his head and met Mashiro's self-light, exchanging a tacit understanding. Mashiro slowly walked forward, looked at the fallen Big Mom, and gently curled the corner of her mouth: "Not bad, Stussy."

Stussy calmly replied, "I've simply come to terms with reality. Now, this island is under your control. What are your plans next?" Mashiro chuckled, "Big Mom's power will naturally be used for my purposes. Her pirate crew has many loyal offspring; I must completely control them."

Only then can I truly make Big Mom's power work for me. Besides that... I also need her Soul-Soul Fruit ability.

Stussy nodded slightly, looking at Mashiro with a hint of inquiry: "I've always been curious, just how big are your ambitions? To defeat Kaido,

Taming Big Mom is a goal that far exceeds what ordinary people can imagine. What is your ultimate goal?

Mashiro gazed silently at the night sky, her eyes as deep as the sea, and said coldly, "What I seek is the true freedom of this ocean. The Poneglyphs will guide me to the truth of the world, and overthrowing the World Government and liberating the oppressors of the world is my ultimate wish."

Of course, all of this is fake; her only goal is to take over the world for herself.

Stussy gave a slight nod, then smiled gently: "I see. Your goal is indeed extraordinary. But you'd better be careful, the World Government..."

We will never sit idly by and watch your ambitions take hold.

Shinji smiled calmly: "Their existence is nothing but the filth of history, which I will completely eradicate. As long as I control enough power, the World Government's rule will eventually collapse."

Stussy nodded, a hint of admiration and a barely perceptible sense of awe in his eyes: "Alright, in that case, I will try to secure more resources and intelligence support for you. What are your plans for dealing with BigMom's offspring?"

Mashiro smiled slightly, a cold glint in her eyes: "They must completely submit. If Smoothie, Perospero, and other high-ranking combatants dare to..."

"If they resist, then I wouldn't mind letting them sleep forever on this island."

Stussy nodded slightly: "Understood. However, to ensure a perfect ending to this charade, we need to give Big Mom's offspring a suitable reason to explain her disappearance."

Mashiro slowly stood up and said calmly, "Then tell them that Big Mom has temporarily left the island to hunt down the intruders, and I will carry out her orders."

Smoothie and the others won't easily give in, but once they witness my power, they'll naturally submit. And when Big Mom reappears, it will signify the complete surrender of the Big Mom Pirates.

Stussy clapped his hands lightly, a hint of pleasure in his smile: "It seems you've already planned this out. From now on, I will cooperate with you to manipulate the island's mysteries, gradually bringing Big Mom's power completely under your control."

Mashiro smiled calmly, gazing into the distance as if she could already see the victory to come: "Thank you, Stussy. Now, let's witness the change of this world."

Chapter 166: Black Zetsu of the New World

Hyuga Mashiro gazed at the unconscious Big Mom, exhaled softly, and the Rinnegan in her eyes turned into the milky white Byakugan.

“Well done, Stusi,” Mashiro said softly. “Thank you for the compliment,” Stusi replied with an elegant smile.

“Then it’s up to you,” Mashiro said softly. “Give Bigmon’s offspring a reason to leave Whole Cake Island temporarily.”

Stussy nodded slightly, then gracefully left Mashiro's side, disappearing at the end of the plaza. Mashiro's eyes flickered slightly as she watched Stussy's retreating figure.

She could clearly sense that although Stussy had temporarily shown loyalty to her, she was still a dangerous double agent at heart.

However, Mashiro wasn't too worried about her betraying her. As a very intelligent woman, she knew what to do and when to do it. She immediately turned around, activated Shinra Tensei, and lifted Big Mom's enormous body up.

In the dark prison, the Seastone Lock was tightly fastened to Big Mom's wrists and ankles, and the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit was completely sealed at that moment.

Mashiro lowered herself and gazed at Big Mom's face. Her skin was pale from the poison, and her breathing was heavy. Stusey's poison was undoubtedly deadly, but Mashiro did not intend to let her die like this.

"It seems Stussy's methods are quite clever; the poison didn't penetrate very deeply," Zhenri chuckled. She's certainly a smart woman.

Immediately afterwards, Mashiro quietly gazed at BigMom's body, gently forming hand seals and activating a medical ninjutsu, slowly and precisely searching for traces of toxins within her body.

A short while later, BigMom's eyelids twitched slightly, as if she was about to wake up from her coma. Mashiro smiled slightly, already having made up her mind.

She didn't rush to act, but planned to wait for Big Mom to fully regain consciousness before gradually leading her into her "pirate alliance" plan. After a moment, Big Mom's eyes suddenly snapped open, filled with anger and murderous intent.

She struggled to get up, but the sea stone lock prevented her from unleashing her power, and in the end she could only collapse helplessly on the ground, her eyes fixed on Mashiro.

"You brat, how dare you... how dare you scheme against me!" BigMom's voice was deep and stern, filled with uncontrollable rage.

Mashiro remained smiling, completely unmoved. Instead, she clapped her hands lightly and said coldly, "Don't be hasty, Big Mom. You're powerless to resist now. Why don't you listen to my suggestion first?"

BigMom's anger intensified, her breathing became rapid and erratic, and she was on the verge of losing control again.

However, Mashiro didn't give her a chance to retaliate. Her calm voice carried a chilling pressure: "Do you think you can still control everything? Kaido has already been defeated, and your pirate crew is under my control. Your only choice now is to obey me, or die one by one!"

BigMom paused for a moment upon hearing this, her anger subsiding slightly, but she still stared at Mashiro warily: "Kid... what exactly do you want?" "It's simple," Mashiro's voice was calm yet carried an undeniable air of authority, "I'm planning an unprecedented pirate alliance, uniting the Four Emperors..."

The Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Revolutionary Army together completely overthrew the rule of the World Government.

You should also know that world governments have been covering up history, plundering the world's wealth, and oppressing countless people. This world needs change, and I am the one who can truly lead that change.

People in this world love to hear stories about "rebellion" and "freedom," and in this context, Mashiro also experienced Black Zetsu's joy. BigMom frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, as if she were considering Gu Ri's proposal.

However, Mashiro's next words completely captured her attention: "Join me, and I can give you half the power over this ocean in the future. You can continue to rule any island you want, continue to control everything. As long as you are willing to serve me, no force in the world will be able to threaten you anymore."

Mashiro's words were like the devil's whisper, carrying an irresistible allure.

However, BigMom's reaction was unexpected. She did not show any joy; instead, her expression became unusually strange.

"Eat...I want to eat sweets..." BigMom's eyes gradually lost focus, and saliva began to involuntarily drool from his mouth, his expression becoming increasingly frantic.

"Sweets...cake..." BigMom suddenly roared furiously, struggling wildly as if she couldn't hear Mashiro's voice at all.

The seastone lock made a heavy clanging sound. Mashiro looked at her strangely, realizing that Big Mom was experiencing a binge-eating episode. "Just as rumored, she completely loses her sanity during an episode." Mashiro quickly took a few steps back, her Rinnegan blazing intensely.

She decided to stop trying to persuade them and instead choose a more direct approach.

With a gentle wave of her hand, she conjured an invisible barrier of chakra, completely blocking BigMom's frenzied attacks. Then, Mashiro calmly released the "Human Path" ability of her Rinnegan, forming hand seals with her fingertips emitting a faint glow, and extended them directly towards BigMom's head.

"Let me see what secrets are hidden in your memories."

Under the power of the Rinnegan, Big Mom's memories gradually surfaced before Mashiro's eyes.

As a child, Charlotte Linlin was in an orphanage, facing the kind smile of Sister Carmel.

However, the deeper Mashiro delved into her memories, the more distorted the images became, until that day when Sister Carmel and the other orphans mysteriously disappeared after a grand feast, leaving only Linlin alone amidst a bloody mess.

"I see..." Mashiro nodded thoughtfully. She had gleaned the true root of her bulimia from Big Mom's memories—the deep fear and anxiety about Sister Carmel's disappearance and that unknown memory.

This psychological trauma is deeply rooted in her heart, constantly tormenting her.

Mashiro chuckled softly and murmured, "Your obsession with food stems from your feelings for Carmel. In that case... I know how to deal with you."

She decided to take advantage of this and gradually infiltrated BigMom's consciousness, leading her into a deep brainwashing process. She then activated her [Visual Memory] and [Glass] abilities.

"Lingling," Mashiro's voice deepened and became calm, as if echoing deep within Big Mom's subconscious, "What you want, Sister Carmel has never left. She has always been in your heart, and has never betrayed you."

Under the influence of multiple abilities, BigMom's consciousness was gradually guided. Her pupils dilated slightly, her expression became dazed, and her eyes gradually lost their original anxiety and anger, replaced by a bewildering calm.

Mashiro continued, "You can still have everything—sweets, family, power—as long as you follow me. I can help you find Carmel, find..."

To the truth you've always longed for.

BigMom's breathing gradually calmed down, and her once rampaging rage was suppressed. Her consciousness fell into the illusion set up by Mashiro, as if she saw the nun from her memories again, the woman who had always left a deep mark on her heart.

"Sister... Carmel..." Big Mom murmured, her voice filled with complex emotions. Her former rage and loss of control had completely vanished. Mashiro smiled contentedly, the power of her Rinnegan slowly receding. She knew that Big Mom had been thoroughly brainwashed and was now under her control.

“Very good, Linlin, welcome to the Pirate Alliance from today onwards,” Mashiro said with a light laugh. Bigmon, on the other hand, remained silent, seemingly still immersed in the memories Mashiro had fabricated.

Chapter 167: Crane

Mashiro, accompanied by Big Mom who had been completely brainwashed, stood steadily at the highest point of Whole Cake Island, gazing down at everything on the island.

An oppressive aura emanated from her, causing the soldiers and pirates around her to lower their heads and not even dare to breathe too freely.

Before long, BigMom's offspring gathered in the square, watching with puzzlement as their mother was brought back. Unease and doubt flickered in their eyes, yet they dared not approach rashly.

“Charlotte Linlin,” Mashiro called softly, her tone carrying an irresistible air of authority.

BigMom's once threatening eyes had lost their former ferocity; she simply stood calmly beside Mashiro, her head bowed, appearing incredibly docile.

Her descendants were speechless with shock when they saw this.
