Chapter 1 Marrying a Wife

A pure white shirt, a flowing military uniform.

He wore a wide-brimmed hat and carried a long sword at his waist.

With the blower blowing, Martin's clothes fluttered, making the two large characters "Justice" on his back stand out.

At this moment, he wielded the iron hammer in his hand, concentrating on hammering the anvil in front of him, clanging and banging the red-hot iron block on the anvil into the shape of a blade.

Each hammer blow may seem powerful and sweeping, but Martin is actually very careful and cautious, even suppressing his breathing to a minimum, for fear of any accident.

Bang!

Suddenly, a cannon shot rang out from outside the forge, disturbing his concentration. He lost control of his hammer, and the blade on the anvil was hammered in two.

Martin paused for a moment, then dropped the carving knife, took a few steps back, and slumped back into the chair.

have to……

The challenge to forge a fine, fast sword has failed again!

"After five whole years, I'm still in this mess. I might as well just retire."

Looking around the spacious yet deserted naval forge, Martin couldn't help but sigh and fall into thought.

About five years ago, he was transported to the world of One Piece and became a hopeless Marine soldier.

The reason he was told there was no future was because the body he was in after transmigrating was already thirty-five years old and he knew nothing; he was just a junior swordsmith in the Navy Logistics Department, with the rank of corporal.

It's important to understand that in the world of One Piece, strength reigns supreme, and power is king.

Ordinary naval officers can break stone tablets with their bare hands, and there are quite a few who can lift heavy objects.

Those naval admirals could split mountains with their palms and cut through the sea with their feet, displaying all sorts of superhuman abilities. They were all superhumans, capable of fighting against thousands of troops.

When he first transmigrated, Martin thought he could unlock a cheat code like the transmigrators in novels, his combat power would increase by leaps and bounds, he would sweep away all pirates, crush his opponents, and write his own legend.

However, he lacked any external support, his talent was quite ordinary, and coupled with his advanced age, cultivation became extremely difficult.

Despite vowing to become a strongman, he did not give up on becoming stronger. In addition to his daily forging tasks, he practiced swordsmanship.

After five years of hard work, he was awarded the rank of warrant officer for his outstanding performance in forging swords.

This warrant officer rank has absolutely nothing to do with one's combat ability.

Now he is forty years old and his military rank is only warrant officer. In the original world, he would have been fired by his unit at thirty-five and no one would want him to work in a factory at forty.

In the naval logistics department, he was practically semi-retired, mentoring new recruits and occasionally forging and repairing swords.

His own forging skills had also stalled, and he couldn't improve them even a little.

Hey!

I... am not the main character after all!

This is such a cruel reality.

No matter how hard I try or how much I strive in this life, I can't make any progress in my abilities, and my ambition to be a strong person is worn down by reality.

roar roar...

Not far away, the sea was surging and a strange wind was howling.

A strange sound, a combination of a beast's roar and thunder, came from afar, causing the ground to tremble.

Feeling the roar in his ears and the slight tremors from the ground, Martin looked up at the sea.

I've heard that a sea monster has been running rampant in the East China Sea, attacking many ships and even capsizing naval vessels. The Navy has not only offered a bounty of 1000 million Berries, but has also dispatched a commodore to hunt down the monster.

The cannon fire just now must have come from the warships chasing the sea monster.

In short, it had nothing to do with him, a logistics warrant officer.

Calm your mind.

Since things have come to this, making money is also a viable life choice. After all, I'm getting older, and settling down and starting a family are the most important things to do.

Martin had saved some money in recent years and, being a junior officer in the Navy, naturally had a certain social standing, so getting married wasn't a problem.

Although girls in this world don't have requirements like dowry or houses and cars, as a man he believes he should earn more.

Should we go hunt down pirates and make some money?

Let's forget about it. You know, it's the 1510th year of the Haiyuan calendar.

It has been exactly twelve years since the Pirate King Roger was executed.

There are still ten years until the start of the One Piece storyline, which is the early stage of the Great Pirate Era.

Red-Haired Shanks is not yet one of the Four Emperors, and the protagonist Luffy is just a seven-year-old kid. It's unknown whether he has eaten a Devil Fruit yet.

In the early stages of the Great Pirate Era, pirate forces expanded wildly, the seas were in chaos, and pirates were as numerous as hairs on a cow.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who had only recently taken office, and the three admirals were struggling to cope with the situation, as many sea areas were occupied by pirates, resulting in a very chaotic maritime order.

The pirates are all incredibly ruthless, plundering and killing without blinking an eye. The navy in many places has been routed. With my limited strength, it's best not to go and throw my life away.

So, I should retire.

Martin took off his military uniform and went to his superior's office, handing over the uniform and his resignation letter.

His immediate superior was completely baffled: "Why are you leaving the Navy?"

Martin smiled faintly: "For love."

"For love?"

Watching Martin's departing figure, the boss shook his head and did not try to stop him.

Although Martin is a junior bladesmith with decent forging skills, he is not a rare talent in the navy, so let him be.

We left the naval logistics base and arrived on the streets of Orange Town.

The streets of the small town were filled with the sounds of wheels and shouts, bustling with people and creating a lively scene.

Martin went straight to the town center and bought a large bouquet of roses at a florist.

He then turned quickly into a deserted street, holding a bouquet of flowers. He stopped in front of a small building with the words "Hundred Flowers Academy" on it, straightened his sharp suit, and then gently pushed open the slightly ajar door.

"...There has always been a secret in world history, namely the lost century... It is a mysterious history, and everyone must remember it..."

A slender, black-haired girl, holding a book, is giving a history lesson to the children in the school, her voice incredibly gentle.

"Teacher Rona, look! Uncle Martin is here!"

"Uncle Martin is holding a bouquet of flowers. What's he going to do?"

Wow... everyone look!

The sharp-eyed children immediately started making a fuss, as if they had discovered a new continent.

"Go away, call me brother, not uncle!"

Martin pursed his lips, reminding these clueless kids not to shout nonsense.

The moment the pretty black-haired girl saw Martin, two blushes appeared on her face, and she was incredibly shy.

"Ahem, dear Miss Rona, I know you hate the Navy and have already retired from it."

"I can't quite explain whether it's the fluttering heart and sweet impulse, the touching feeling of meeting someone with similar interests and feeling like we've known each other forever, or the heartfelt longing for the warmth of a large family. Here, I make the most sincere request from the deepest part of my heart. All of this is to soothe my long-wandering and lonely heart; all of this is because 'I want a home!'"

"If I could have this honor, I would want to stay with you for life, through all four seasons. In spring, I would stroll with you among the blooming flowers; in summer, I would run with you along the banks of the joyful river; in autumn, I would wander with you beneath the fiery red maple forest; in winter, I would sit with you around the blazing fireplace. So... will you marry me?"

Martin stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and presented the bouquet of roses, along with the box containing the ring, his heart pounding with nervousness.

The children around immediately cheered and applauded. With tears in her eyes, Lorna Chloe blushed and reached out her slender hand to accept the bouquet of roses, allowing Martin to slip the engagement ring onto the middle finger of her left hand.

The proposal was successful!

Indeed, in the years since he transmigrated, besides working hard to improve his strength, he hasn't forgotten to woo girls. Using the same dating skills he learned in his previous life, he finally won over a girl he liked in this game.

She is Rona.

Eighteen-year-old Rona is a teacher in the small town. She is not only well-educated and mature, but also has an indescribable exotic charm and temperament.

After a long period of contact and pursuit, Martin finally won her heart. In order to marry her, he simply resigned from his job in the Navy.

Two weeks later, Martin and Lorna held a grand wedding in the town hall, witnessed by their neighbors and friends.

Martin invited some familiar neighbors and friends from the surrounding area.

He had lived in Orange for many years and was quite popular as a naval officer. However, at Rona's request, the wedding was to be kept simple, and he didn't even invite his naval colleagues.

"Hey, I heard that Warrant Officer Martin resigned to get married, but the girl is really pretty."

"The bride is young and beautiful."

"I heard that these two are 22 years apart in age!"

"Wow! This isn't the legendary old ox..."

Martin heard people whispering in the crowd, but he didn't say anything, just gave an awkward laugh.

Luo Na is young, beautiful, well-educated, charming, and has a good personality. He was indeed a bit out of his league, but what could he do when a time traveler like him was so good at picking up girls?

Let others be jealous!

Next, he and his bride, Lorna, shared a kiss amidst the witnesses and congratulations of everyone present, completing the sacred ceremony. The wedding concluded after the banquet.
