After retiring from the Navy, I became a doting husband.

As he spoke, Martin swung his blade, and the demon sword in his hand emitted a white light. The red bloodline on the shimmering white light was very conspicuous, giving people an eerie crimson feeling.

"That's the light!"

Tashigi's eyes widened, her face becoming quite interesting, and she even swallowed hard: "How much is this knife?"

"100,000 Berries!"

Martin said bluntly.

"100,000 Berries? Really?"

Tashigi was so excited she was almost shocked and cried out.

Kim, standing to the side, also looked surprised.

The legendary demon sword is said to bring some negative effects to its user, but some people who buy it will never use it and will only use it as a collection or a gift.

Any demon sword, even the most ordinary one, is worth at least a million.

Why sell it to them so cheaply?

"It's true. After the deal is done, you just need to do me a small favor."

Martin had his own plans. He quickly exchanged money and goods with the excited girl, successfully luring the naive young woman into his trap.

Tashigi was overjoyed to have the demon sword in her hands and immediately put it away.

Martin immediately pulled Tashigi aside: "Sergeant Tashigi, congratulations on acquiring a fine knife. Now let's discuss a business deal."

Tashigi, who had been beaming with joy, pushed up her glasses and said, "Tell me, what kind of business is it? Anything I can do."

"Can you become my agent?"

Tashigi was taken aback: "What do you mean by 'agent'?"

"It's the Yugang distributor!"

Tashigi: (⊙_⊙)?

.

Martin brought Robin a bouquet of bright red roses and some of her favorite desserts before tiptoeing home to surprise her.

Robin had finished class and gone home. He looked out the window, feeling a little down, his eyes vacant, as if he were reminiscing about something.

Martin quietly approached his wife from behind and covered Robin's eyes with his hands.

Guess who I am?

He deliberately raised his voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong, because he could feel the dampness in his palm.

"Honey, what's wrong with you?"

Martin immediately let go and pulled his wife into his arms to check on her.

"It's nothing. I was just thinking about the past and I can't believe I have such a happy life now."

Robin wiped away her tears and suddenly said worriedly, "Husband, I'm so scared, so scared that this simple happiness will leave me, scared that you will leave me."

Martin understood that Robin was recalling her tragic past and felt extremely insecure, which was why she suddenly shed tears.

My heart shines like the moon, following the tides night after night. I love you regardless of distance, I miss you regardless of sunshine or rain. Heaven and earth are eternally restless, time and space are ever-changing. With you, there is scenery; with you, there is warmth.

Martin gently whispered in his wife's ear and handed her the bouquet of roses: "No matter your past, no matter who you are, I know you are my wife, and I will stay with you for the rest of my life and protect this happiness."

"husband!"

Robin's body trembled upon hearing this, and she pursed her red lips: "Husband..."

Shortly after, the sound of the bed shaking violently came from the bedroom.

[Rating: Excellent]

[Gains: Significantly increased affinity, significantly increased forging experience]

[Special: Flower-Flower Fruit Power +2]

"excellent!"

This time the rating is really high!

I feel like I got a five-star review.

The power of the Devil Fruit he obtained has doubled!

Martin looked thoughtfully at the prompt text that appeared before him.

I never expected that just saying something genuinely witty would elicit such a positive response.

Everyone says women love to hear sweet words and love to be flattered. Tsk tsk tsk, so that's what it means.

I'll definitely say more witty things to make Robin happy from now on.

"Brother Martin... Lorna is yours for life. You can marry her again later if you wish..."

At this moment, Robin clung tightly to Martin's arm, looking pleading.

"Lorna?"

Martin was startled and couldn't help but be surprised.

"Honey, you have too much energy... I'm all swollen!"

Before he could finish speaking, Robin's mouth was covered by Martin.

It was clear that the wife couldn't eat alone and wanted to give up her spot.

Robin is so sensible.

Come, let me reward you properly...

Chapter 11 The Chicken That Lays Golden Eggs

May 1st, 1510 (Haiyuan Calendar).

Under the bright spring sunshine and gentle sea breeze, a fierce artillery battle was taking place on the azure surface of the East China Sea.

The two ships were exchanging fire at close range; one ship was flying the pirate skull and crossbones flag, while the other was flying the navy's seagull flag.

Boom! Boom! Bang!

The sound of cannons was terrifying, and smoke filled the air. Black, round cannonballs flew across the sea, attacking each other and splashing waves, with occasional explosions.

A chain shot, attached to a chain, was fired by the navy. With a strong gust of wind, it wrapped around the mainmast of the pirate ship, rendering the sails completely ineffective and bringing the pirate ship to a stop.

"Close combat, with a knife!"

"attack!"

The naval warship rammed straight into the pirate ship's side with a loud crash. Before the ship could stabilize, planks of wood crashed onto the pirate ship, and the naval soldiers launched a frenzied attack using the planks.

Tashigi led the charge towards the pirate ship, engaging in fierce combat with the enemy. Holding the newly acquired demon sword, she felt her combat power increase exponentially, making her virtually unstoppable.

As soon as she grasped the knife, she felt her blood boil, her fighting spirit surge, and she became more and more courageous in battle, as if this demonic knife was urging her to thirst for blood and slay her enemies.

Before she knew it, she had arrived in front of the pirate captain, a middle-aged man wielding a heavy sword. He had a fierce face and was covered in the blood of naval soldiers. He wielded the heavy sword with great force with one hand.

"Damn the navy!"

"I'm going to fight you guys to the death today!"

The pirate captain, his eyes bloodshot with rage, roared and charged forward, brandishing his heavy sword with unwavering killing intent.

"Draw Sword Slash!"

Upon seeing this, Tashigi immediately sheathed her sword, then suddenly drew it again. After the strike, the pirate captain, whose physique was comparable to that of a giant bear, remained motionless, holding his heavy sword.

thump!

The massive, bear-like body was dislocated, blood splattered on the spot, and then it collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Tashigi's sword-drawing slash cut the pirate captain in two, sword and all.

"Victory! The pirate captain is dead!"

"Sergeant Tashigi is really great."

"We've won!"

The naval soldiers roared, and the pirates who were resisting around them had no choice but to surrender.

Tashigi breathed a sigh of relief, just then a hand patted her on the shoulder.

Turning around, he saw a tall man with silver hair and a cigar in his mouth staring coldly at him. Judging from the rank on his shoulder, the man should be a colonel.

"I am Major Smoker, stationed in Loguetown."

"Well done, your sword is nice, it must be a cursed sword... Are you called Tashigi?"

Smoker looked at Tashigi and asked.

Tashigi nodded and immediately saluted: "Reporting to Major Smoker, I am Sergeant Tashigi."

Smoker stated bluntly: "The Greatsword Pirates are one of the most active pirate crews in the area. After this battle, the pirates around Orange Town should behave themselves a lot. You did a great job..."

"After saying all that, I have high hopes for you. From now on, work for me."

"what?"

Tashigi looked at the other person in surprise, her face turning completely red.

.

The next day, news of the Greatsword Pirates being wiped out by the Navy spread throughout Orange Town.

This thrilled all the residents of Orange Town.

During this period, Orange Town was ravaged by those pirates who roamed around everywhere. Everyone was on edge, and some people even chose to move out of Orange Town for fear of being robbed by pirates.

The Heavy Sword Pirates were vicious and had committed many evil deeds. Their execution is truly gratifying, and Orange Town, which had been tense, has once again returned to its former peace and prosperity.

Everyone should visit each other, eat and drink as they please, and not take anything to heart. Life is short, whether you laugh or cry, it's still life, so just be comfortable.

The crisis in Orange Town has temporarily passed, but rumors about the treasure still circulate, and a storm is brewing in the East China Sea.
