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

If he hadn't subconsciously used the power of the Devil Fruit, his head would have been chopped off.

Fortunately, he wasn't an ordinary Devil Fruit user; his Paramecia-type Shiny-Shiny Fruit could easily withstand the powerful sword imbued with Haki.

It can be said to be the nemesis of sword masters!

This guy must be a swordsman, then he'll be easy to deal with.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Martin sized up the other person.

Joz was a large, muscular man with a broad chest and dark skin, who usually wore armor. He was very big. His face was angular, he had no eyebrows, and his hairstyle and clothing were very similar to those of the Aztecs.

Diamond Jozu is a veteran member of the Whitebeard Pirates, the third division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, and one of Whitebeard's ace crew members. He will always stand in front of Whitebeard.

It can transform any part of its body into a transparent, pure diamond. The diamond-transformed part possesses the hardest material in the world, boasting extremely high defensive and offensive capabilities, earning it the title of "Diamond Shield." Ordinary physical attacks are virtually ineffective against it. If one strikes an opponent after transforming their body into diamond, it will inflict massive damage.

All the information about Diamond Joz was in his mind.

This guy is indeed someone I can't beat right now.

Unless the magic gun swastika is released!

Martin was so envious, comparing himself to his own golden pectoral muscles.

Even diamonds are still a bit inferior to diamonds.

Martin was like a man in a gym looking at muscular men, filled with envy.

"A swordsman?"

"Unexpectedly, was it with your help that we captured Weevil?"

Diamond Jozu grinned widely: "No swordsman in the world can break through my defenses. You'd better just admit defeat."

“Let’s switch, Jozu. I like sparring with swordsmen. This guy just used the Navy’s Six Powers Shave, and he can also use Armament Haki. He should be a strong swordsman.”

Vista the Fencing Master said, "Then let me see what makes him so special."

As he spoke, he stepped in front of Martin, clearly wanting to enjoy a fight.

Vista was a tall, strong, broad-shouldered, dark-skinned man with two curly black beards, a dark blue top hat, and earrings. He wore an open-chested dark blue shirt that revealed his chest hair, a black cloak, and white gloves.

He had a scabbard on each side of his belt, and his weapons were two Western swords.

Vista was already a member of the Whitebeard Pirates 30 years ago and was an extremely important officer in the crew.

Vista the Flower Sword is also a swordsman who dares to go head-to-head with Hawkeye.

Martin smiled and said, "Perfect timing. I've gained some insights after fighting Hawkeye, so I can spar with you to test my swordsmanship."

"You fought Hawkeye?"

Vista was also a little surprised after hearing this: "You fought Hawkeye? Were you badly beaten?"

Martin shook his head slightly: "It wasn't too bad, Hawkeye got knocked away by me!"

Vista's face turned cold: "Are you kidding me? That's the world's greatest swordsman. Even I might not be able to beat him."

"Enough talk, take this!"

He drew his two swords with both hands, and then suddenly thrust one of them at Martin, using the same technique as the other.

In the blink of an eye, he had thrust out at least forty or fifty swords.

Amidst the clanging and clattering sounds, sparks flew as Martin blocked every sword strike.

"You're quite good, even better than I was before. Now I'm slightly better than you!"

Martin commented that the blade slowly returned to its sheath.

"A draw? Who do you think you are?"

When faced with this unknown junior, Vista immediately frowned. Although the kid's swordsmanship was strange and tricky, it was not something that could be dealt with in a short time.

After all, the other party is also a swordsman.

He took a deep breath: "Taste my Rose Dance!"

He leaped into the air, brandishing his twin swords as he looked down, unleashing a shower of red rose petals.

Those were not rose petals, but phantoms formed from countless sword lights.

"Draw Sword - High-Speed ​​Sword!"

Martin tilted his head back and drew his sword, his right arm transforming into countless flashes of blades.

In an instant, countless blades and swords flashed in mid-air, blocking Vista's sword light.

The tinkling sound was as dense as raindrops, resounding incessantly.

Vista retreated in less than ten seconds, his face full of astonishment: "You... what kind of swordsmanship is this? It's completely unpredictable and leaves no trace."

Martin smiled and said, "The enhanced high-speed sword is all about speed. Sometimes even I can't fully control it."

The two exchanged blows for another thirty or so rounds, and Martin had a better understanding of the situation.

After his battle with Hawkeye, his combat power and swordsmanship have improved to a new level. Now, he can rival ordinary sword masters with his swordsmanship.

It's worth noting that Vista, the Flower Swordsman, was one of the top swordsmen in the Whitebeard Pirates, which is why he became one of Whitebeard's right-hand men, ranking quite high.

To be able to fight so skillfully against such a master swordsman is enough to prove that you are a swordsmanship genius... *cough* [blushing]

It looks like he'll marry several swordswomen.

Now let's look at Zephyr.

The old man is getting old after all. After dozens of rounds, he is now being fiercely beaten by Diamond Jozu and can only barely defend against the opponent's attacks, which are becoming more and more outrageous.

There's no way around it, Jozu is just too tough. He's the bane of all physical attacks, especially against swordsmen and all kinds of melee fighters.

As a pure martial arts master, Zefa was unable to break through his opponent's physical defenses. Originally, when the two were exchanging blows, Grandpa Zefa was at a great disadvantage. Now that they've switched to wrestling, if this continues, he might have to lie down and play judo.

"Shoot him, sharpshooter!"

Faced with Joz, who was impervious to blades and bullets, Martin raised his hand and fired his divine gun.

A flash of white light, followed by a clang, and Joz was propelled away by the light, his body flying off the deck and plunging into the vast ocean.

Devil Fruit users will immediately become limp and lose all their power upon contact with seawater.

Upon seeing this, Vista's eyes widened in horror, and he desperately tried to rush to his rescue. However, another incredibly sharp and irresistible sword light struck, piercing through his abdomen and pinning him to the ship's mast.

"Huhuhu..."

Zefa gasped, "Why didn't you use that sword technique sooner?"

"I just wanted to practice."

Martin looked at the dumbfounded Zephyr and smiled: "Old man, take him to Impel Down."

"Don't say I did it, you were the one who caught them, give me the extra reward!"

Zephyr wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Martin with a deep and serious gaze: "You're really unfathomable. Do you want to rejoin the Navy? I can be your recommender."

Martin smiled without saying a word, then turned and left his back on the stage...

Chapter 117 Magellan of the Infinite City

The Gate of Justice.

This is a towering, enormous gate, inconceivably large.

Martin had seen the Three Gorges Dam, and the awe he felt could only be described as magnificent and awe-inspiring. But when he saw the Gates of Justice, he realized that these gates were beyond words.

If I had to describe it, I could only say, "It's fucking huge."

It is said that this Gate of Justice was not built by humans, but by giants. It sits on the sea like a giant city, which is simply incredible.

There are three Gates of Justice: Enies Lobby, Impel Down, and Marine Headquarters Marineford!

The three islands were not originally connected, but there was a large whirlpool in the middle with very strong currents. Each island was built with a gate, which acted like a reflector to deflect the currents back, forming a large central whirlpool.

Imagine a calm zone at the center, surrounded by the strongest ocean currents. Normally, ships would rotate with the currents instead of moving forward, like an invisible turntable. When one of the reflective surfaces (the Gate of Justice) opens, the ocean currents change, causing some of the currents to flow out through the Gate of Justice!

The ship can reach Impel Down in Impel Down by passing through the Gates of Justice.

“Zeff, I have no intention of going to Impel Down.”

"Let's disembark here."

Martin looked toward Enies Lobby.

Enies Lobby is not an ideal place to disembark, after all, it is Yoel's hometown, there are many enemies on the island, and there are also CP9's traps.

"It's too late. Come with me. I'll feel more at ease escorting them this way. You know, my old bones are no good anymore. If something happens on the way, I won't be able to handle these criminals."

Zephyr put down the Den Den Mushi, and the massive Gate of Justice outside Enies Lobby slowly opened. The warship entered the ocean current and began to sail quickly, requiring no human control.

In the darkness, Zephyr had already arranged everything.

Martin looked at the old man: "Professor Zephyr, what exactly do you want to do?"

Zefa looked at Martin with deep eyes: "You have to trust your teacher. Your teacher only wants what's best for you."

Martin's expression hardened: "Professor Zephyr, I have done everything I could. If possible, you should give me a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, even if you are my teacher, I will not show any mercy."

Zefa took a deep breath, his expression extremely grave: "All three of your wives have problems."

"Nicole Robin is the child of the devil, with a bounty of 8000 million Berries."

"Yor, the Thorn Princess, who betrayed CP9, has a bounty of 5000 million Berries."

"Naval Lieutenant Tashigi is wanted by the Celestial Dragons, who want to turn her into a slave."

Zefa looked at Martin: "I may be old, but I'm not blind. These girls are like landmines that could explode at any moment."

"There are many dangers on the Grand Line. If you wander around with three girls, you will attract too many dangers."

"The Celestial Dragons will never let you go, the Navy won't let you go either, and even the pirates won't let you go."

"You will become a wanted pirate."

"Even if you once defeated Crocodile and Hawkeye Mihawk, both of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

Martin looked at the old man.
