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

Garp: "East Blue? I just got back from the East Blue? Almost all the pirates there are dead, what could possibly have happened?"

Sengoku said in a deep voice, "Do you know that there is also Nico Robin, the Devil Child, in the East Blue? And a former CP9 member who is wanted by the authorities?"

"I know, they're two little girls, right? They're hiding and won't come out. I'm not interested in little girls, only Celestial Dragons would be interested in them."

"Kapp asked, puzzled."

Zhan Guo slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Do you know what their husbands did?"

"What did you do? Can't you just tell me?"

Karp picked his nose impatiently: "He just keeps yelling like that, I don't know what got into him today."

Sengoku took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions: "Just recently, Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and Hawkeye Mihawk were both defeated. The one who defeated them was the same person."

He roared, "This man is also from your East China Sea, named Martin, and he's the husband of these two women."

"Martin?"

Karp asked in confusion, "This name sounds familiar."

Zhan Guo reminded him, "You ate his food at the sea restaurant; it's called Nine-Turned Intestines!"

"Nine-Turned Intestines?"

Garp's body stiffened, and some unpleasant memories surfaced in his mind: "It was him!"

As he spoke, his stomach churned, and he almost vomited up the rice crackers he had just eaten.

There was no way around it; those memories were just too disgusting, absolutely disgusting. I felt a strange, foul odor rising in my mouth.

"Wait, you mean that God of Cookery Martin... defeated two Shichibukai? Are you kidding me?"

"Kapp asked incredulously."

Sengoku said with a stern face, "I'm not joking, Garp!"

"Your East Sea is full of talented people, but I never thought that the weakest sea would give birth to some monsters."

Just then, a naval soldier ran over with a wanted poster in his hand.

"Marshal, we have found the wanted poster for the knifesmith Martin."

As he spoke, he handed over the arrest warrant.

Sengoku frowned as soon as he saw it: "Garp, take a look for yourself."

Garp took it and glanced at it: "100 Berries? Are you kidding me? And what the hell is this drawing?"

Sengoku shook his head slightly: "It's 100 Berries!"

What do you think Martin's future bounty will be after defeating two Shichibukai?

"Here comes another pointless question. Let me put it bluntly."

“Kapp, I just checked this person’s information with Den Den Mushi. This swordsmith Martin used to be a Navy warrant officer, and he worked as a swordsmith in the 18th Logistics Branch of the East Blue.”

"I was wondering if you could help introduce him to the Navy."

Karp immediately felt a wave of nausea wash over him: "You really mean it?"

Zhan Guo said, "He is truly a talent. Rather than letting the Five Elders make the decision, we should win over this Martin as soon as possible."

Garp nodded: "I understand, the Five Elders won't let him go."

Sengoku grinned and patted his old friend on the shoulder: "Garp, you know him well, why don't you go and recruit him?"

Garp: ...

Chapter 112 Don't come any closer!

Red Earth, the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

In the council hall deep within the world headquarters, the Five Elders were working; some were looking down at various briefings, some were reviewing documents, and some were dozing off.

Wearing a black suit, Satan Saint had white curly hair, a bushy white beard, and a flat cap. He had a scar on his left cheek and was intently looking at a special document, his brows furrowing slightly from time to time.

Wearing a dark red suit and without a bow tie, William Saint put down the Den Den Mushi and said, "Gentlemen, something big has happened in the East Blue, something very big, that may change the world order."

The other five elders raised their heads, some with surprised expressions, but it didn't cause much of a stir.

The East Blue had never been on their radar; even the strongest pirates there had bounties of less than a hundred million, which was not enough to move the Five Elders.

They are a group of people who only care about politics.

"There's no need to tell us about what's happening in the East China Sea. What major events could possibly occur there?"

Saint Satan asked, "It shouldn't be a big deal... But Saint William, you're in charge of the CP organization, so you should have more detailed information. If you think it's necessary, please share it with everyone."

"Yes, I initially thought it was just a rumor, but this news could change the current world order."

William Saint informed him of the intelligence he had just received: "Just one day ago, a battle took place in the East Blue. Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, was severely injured, and Hawkeye Mihawk, another of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, was knocked away and his whereabouts are unknown. Both of them were defeated by the same person. There has never been any information about this attacker."

"what?!"

The Five Elders gasped in shock: "Two Shichibukai defeated? And by the same person? How is that possible?"

William Saint nodded: "It's confirmed. Crocodile was defeated. Hawkeye isn't sure if he was defeated either. He took a hit from that mysterious man and then left the battlefield. His current fate is unknown."

For a moment, the eyes of the five elders in the room were all focused on William Saint.

Yes, this is a big deal, an absolutely big deal, big enough to influence global change.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea are extremely powerful; each of them possesses the ability to destroy a country, making them a formidable force that the World Government fears.

Saint Satan frowned slightly: "Two Shichibukai were defeated? Are you serious? Those are Shichibukai... Who exactly was the person who defeated the Shichibukai?"

"The man who defeated two Shichibukai is named Martin. He was originally a retired Navy warrant officer, later became a swordsmith, and now suddenly defeated two Shichibukai overnight."

"I suspect this person might be a hidden Devil Fruit user, or a member of the Revolutionary Army."

"Otherwise, such a powerful being would not exist."

The other five elders remained silent, believing that it was too early to draw such a conclusion.

"How did he defeat the other two Shichibukai?"

Satan asked.

William Saint looked at another of the Five Elders: "He is using a sword, and a sword technique that has never been seen before."

He looked at Tian Yuesheng, who was wearing a white robe, glasses, and wooden clogs. The bald old man was the only one of the Five Elders who was not wearing a suit, leather shoes, or had a beard.

Tianyue Sheng holds a precious sword, and the way he and the sword are inseparable makes it clear that he is a master swordsman.

"With a sword?"

"That's impossible! The other party is Hawkeye!"

Tianyue Saint said, "Hawkeye's swordsmanship is undoubtedly the best in the world!"

William Saint handed over several photos, saying, "These are islands that have been the site of battles, Tianyue Saint, can you do that?"

"Islands that have been battled? What does that mean?"

Tianyue Sheng took the photo, glanced at it briefly, and then gaped wide: "How is this possible?"

The island in the photo is cut in two with a very smooth cut, which looks exaggerated, as if it had been cut by a huge sword.

"Only the largest giant swordsman could do that!"

Tianyue Sheng frowned: "That was more than 500 years ago... In the world, only Hawkeye Mihawk can cut an island in two with a single sword strike."

The Five Elders' expressions turned grave: "Does the opponent possess power comparable to Hawkeye Mihawk?"

Tianyue Sheng frowned slightly: "Can we win this person over?"

The other five elders also looked toward William Saint.

William Saint shook his head: "No, this swordsmith Martin has two wives. One of them is a CP9 traitor who has a lot of information about CP9, and the other is Nico Robin, the devil's child."

"Then we can only set a reward for him."

Tengetsu Saint frowned slightly: "He defeated two Shichibukai single-handedly. This kind of strength is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary Shichibukai."

"Shall we set a target of 5 million Berries?"

The other five elders nodded in agreement, saying that 10 billion was indeed a good amount.

"In addition, the rubbings of the Poneglyphs are also in Nico Robin's possession."

"I think you all know about those historians; they are too obsessed with history."

"So Nico Robin and her husband must die."

William Saint said, "For a swordsman of this caliber, we would need to either send a Marine Admiral or use a Buster Call to have any chance of killing him."

The five elders nodded repeatedly:

"That's right, to deal with a force capable of defeating a Shichibukai, we should use the Buster Call!"

"Give me permission to use the Buster Call."

.

The sea breeze blows, and the waves roll.

The warship sailed to Mount Levi, also known as the Reverse Mountain, one of the points where it intersected with the Red Line, and also the starting point of the Grand Line.

"Nami, I see Reverse Mountain. How much longer until we enter the Grand Line?"

Martin looked at Nami.

"We are about to enter Reverse Mountain. There are five waterways on Reverse Mountain, which are X-shaped. The water flows in four directions and out one direction. The four sloping sides are waterways that flow in from the four seas. After they converge at the top of the mountain, there is a horizontal waterway that flows out. After that, we will enter the Grand Line."

"The Calm Belt of the Grand Line is impassable for ordinary ships. Therefore, most ships enter or leave the Grand Line via the Reverse Mountain. Except for ships like the Navy, no ship can pass through the Calm Belt. I've heard that there are many Sea Kings there, and any one of them can easily capsize a ship."

Nami glanced at the recording pointer on her wrist and was explaining the route.

"Hey, then why not just use this warship?"

Pakistan asked.

"Naval ships are powered by their own engines and do not rely on sea winds. Moreover, their hulls are equipped with Seastone, making them unafraid of any Sea Kings. Therefore, they can freely enter and exit the Grand Line through calm seas. However, this naval ship is different. It is an ordinary ship and is afraid of Sea Kings. It may be attacked by Sea Kings."

Martin explained.
