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

Yes, that's enough!

Once on the deck, Martin pulled out Senbonzakura and silently recited "Extract," thus learning all of Tashigi's skills.

His expert-level swordsmanship caused his hands to tremble, but it also deepened his understanding of swordsmanship, instantly propelling him into a completely new realm of swordsmanship.

Indeed, although I had practiced swordsmanship before, I had only reached the proficiency level. My improvement now is very obvious.

This is enough to prove Tashigi's terrifying talent in swordsmanship.

Before, holding Senbonzakura felt like holding a knife; now, holding Senbonzakura feels like an extension of my arm.

The sword is like an arm, and the arm is like a sword; the understanding and perception of swordsmanship has reached a whole new level.

Sword draw and slash!

Martin suddenly drew his sword and unleashed a swift, deadly strike.

"Both the slashing power and slashing speed have been improved significantly. The slashing power is slightly weaker than the chessboard slash, but the slashing speed is much faster."

"Wait a minute, there's still a lot of potential to develop this sword-drawing slash."

With his swordsmanship and slashing skills improved, Martin decided to develop new techniques.

He drew his sword repeatedly, combining it with his swordsmanship skills.

Combining a draw slash with a flying slash can increase the power and range of the sword energy.

Combining the draw slash with the Black Water Sword can further enhance the draw speed and slashing power, turning it into an enhanced version of the draw slash.

Combining a draw slash with a high-speed sword technique can create a unique killing move.

After practicing for a while, Martin mastered his newly developed swordsmanship.

Next up is Armament Haki.

Tashigi's Armament Haki, even at the level of proficiency, was enough to stain the blade black.

But that was more than enough for Martin.

Previously, Martin had been unable to comprehend Armament Haki, but now he has fully mastered it. He feels that the method of using it is somewhat similar to using a localized iron block, but it emphasizes internal energy cultivation. It involves condensing the internal energy on the surface of the body to create a protective outer shell of Haki.

Martin was very satisfied as he watched his fist and the blade turn pitch black.

His Armament Haki was much darker than Tashigi's, almost shiny black.

He tried to let his domineering aura envelop his entire body, and instantly, most of his body was covered by the aura.

Currently, his physique is astonishing. Once he learns Haki, the total amount and quality of Haki will definitely surpass Tashigi's. Unfortunately, he cannot cover his entire body, but his arms and torso are covered.

Martin attempted to fuse the iron block with the Haki, and then the black Haki was coated with a light gold layer.

Under the moonlight, it faintly glowed with a golden light, turning into a blackish-gold color.

"Armament Haki can make the body incredibly hard, like having an extra layer of shell, which can be fused with iron blocks, resulting in a double layer of protection."

Martin assessed his own hardness.

Undoubtedly, the enhancement of Armament Haki has greatly improved his close-combat skills.

He was no longer afraid of Logia-type ability users.

Right, I don't feel like sleeping yet, I feel very energetic, so I might as well go find Joel right away.

Anyway, Joel's injuries have almost fully recovered, otherwise the long night would have been difficult to endure.

Let's see if we can get a Paradise rating.

If I had known earlier that I could get the Paradise dungeon, I would have been able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

That's right, a real man must have the courage to challenge his own limits and explore all the unknowns.

With that, Martin crawled into the cabin where Joel was.

"So noisy! As expected, she's a Tremor-Tremor Fruit user!"

Bucky, who was dozing on the deck, was speechless. He never expected that he couldn't even take a nap.

The damage inflicted on him by the Tremor-Tremor Fruit user was truly immense.

He suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Nami. Despite growing up in such a harsh environment, she could still laugh so happily. This girl had it tough.

Ugh……

I really miss the days when I worked as a handyman in Roger's pirate crew.

Compared to the Pirate King Roger, this Martin is a devil, constantly shaking and trembling all day long.

So annoying!

Chapter 107 The Third Son

Two days later at noon.

The deck was very lively.

"Bucky, spin around right now and bark three times like a dog!"

Tashigi blinked and gave the order to Buggy.

"What...what did you say? Woof woof woof..."

Although Bucky looked unwilling, he turned around on the ground and actually barked three times like a dog.

This made others look at them with new respect.

Tashigi winked at Buggy again, a strange vortex appearing deep in her eyes: "Perform three backflips for me right now."

"Yes, ma'am! Backflip in!"

Bucky, with a blissful expression on his face, immediately did three backflips.

Nami and the others immediately applauded.

Martin came to Dashi's ear and whispered a few words.

Tashigi then instructed Bucky the Clown, "Call him 'Daddy' and pledge allegiance to him from now on."

Bucky nodded immediately, then ran to Martin and knelt down: "Dad, you really are my dad. From now on, I'm your son."

As Bucky spoke, he hugged Martin's legs and cried as if he had found his ancestral grave: "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy..."

Those cries of "Dad!" were so heart-wrenching, so utterly sincere.

"Son, get up. From now on, I'll protect you. You have to listen to me, understand?"

Martin helped Bucky up, who was crying and sniffling, and patted Bucky's head.

This is an experiment.

Don't let Buggy's usual goofy demeanor fool you; he's actually incredibly ambitious and doesn't respect anyone except for Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King.

The belief is that a great man is born between heaven and earth, how can he remain subservient to others for long?

He lacked Lu Bu's strength, but possessed Lu Bu's rebellious spirit.

He wouldn't just call someone "Dad" casually.

Martin had Tashigi do this for two reasons: first, to make Bucky, an unpredictable crew member, obey, and second, to test the effectiveness of Tashigi's hypnosis.

Regardless, I'm delighted to have a son.

He turned around, put his arm around Tashigi, and couldn't help but praise, "Not bad, the Hypnosis Fruit is very effective. As long as the target makes eye contact with you, they will be hypnotized."

"You should also try to develop other abilities."

Tashigi pouted: "I can't even hypnotize you, so the power of this fruit has its limitations."

She tried hypnotizing Martin these past two days, but it didn't work.

For example, you might hypnotize someone to love only you, only to end up getting slapped instead.

"Of course, this is mainly because your mental strength is relatively weak. This kind of hypnotic ability of the fruit is useless against strong people with strong mental strength."

Martin reminded him.

Tashigi's Hypnosis Fruit ability is indeed stronger than Django's. Tashigi can use this hypnosis to hypnotize anyone, simply by making eye contact and blinking.

Among the three wives, Tashigi has the highest mental strength, with a score of 14. The strength of the Hypnosis Fruit's power may be related to Tashigi's high mental strength.

"Ahem, Tashigi, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Martin suddenly knelt down before Tashigi, a sapphire ring appearing in his hand: "Tashigi, I formally propose to you. If you smile, I smile too; if you take it seriously, I'm grateful; if you hesitate, I'll wait. If you accept, that's wonderful! I will protect you for the rest of my life, never to leave you!"

Tashigi's face instantly turned red.

"Marry him, marry him, marry him..."

“Marry Martin, and we’ll be sisters.”

Robin and Joel cheered from the sidelines.

"This is not good. I already have two mothers, and soon there will be a third one."

Pakistan felt a great threat.

This boat is full of my parents, and I feel like my status is getting lower and lower.

Tashigi, her face flushed, nodded and put on the ring.

With their relationship confirmed, Tashigi officially became Martin's wife, and all of Tashigi's attribute points were transferred to Martin.

Physical strength and perception have improved slightly, but the greatest improvement is in mental strength.

Martin could clearly feel that the improvement in his mental strength had also enhanced his Observation Haki. He tried to use Observation Haki on the deck.

At this moment, the diameter of the Observation Haki covering the area has exceeded one kilometer, which is a significant increase.

He concentrated his Observation Haki and began to continuously extend and explore it.

His domineering exploration range has reached nearly ten kilometers; he can even detect seabirds flying ten kilometers away.

Suddenly, he saw a merchant ship and a pirate ship.

This pirate ship looks very strange. It has no sails and is propelled by oars. The flag it hangs is a skull with an oar.

To be honest, there are just too many pirate crews at sea; Martin has no idea which one this is.
