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

What exactly just happened?

The knife suddenly changed its appearance?

Is this the same blade?

How did you do that?

Am I okay in the eyes?

To test the power of this "black ruler," Martin immediately found the testing stone outside the forge and began to wield the blade.

rub!

The testing stone was easily cleaved open.

In an instant, several steel bars appeared on the sword-testing stone, completely encasing the remaining stone.

"It has no sharpening... yet it still has cutting ability, and it also possesses abilities similar to the Cage-Cage Fruit."

Martin nodded silently.

"What...what's going on? Is this the legendary demon sword?"

Roku exclaimed in surprise; he never expected that the knife would possess such a strange ability.

After the first strike, an iron bar extended out and wrapped around the target that had been struck.

This is practically comparable to the power of a Devil Fruit!

extend!

Martin seemed to sense the knife's peculiar power.

He suddenly flicked his hand, and the steel-shaped blade instantly transformed into five finger-shaped iron bars, forming a claw shape.

As he grabbed a large iron felt, he also split it into many iron bars, which he forcefully wrapped around the large iron felt, then lifted it up and put it down again.

Roku and the others gaped in astonishment, their jaws nearly hitting their toes.

Is this a knife?

You're saying this is a knife?

"The range is no more than 20 meters, and the lifting power is very strong, which will exhaust my physical strength."

"Is this considered an enhanced version of the Cage-Cage Fruit's power?"

Martin was somewhat surprised by this Zanpakuto.

This Zanpakuto is almost identical to Tina's Devil Fruit ability; it doesn't focus on lethality, and the blade remains unsharpened after its Shikai release, resembling a thick, black steel ruler.

It would be impossible to easily cut the testing stone without using one's own swordsmanship.

"Alright, this Zanpakuto, Tina, is a support type, so it's pretty good for catching people."

Martin deactivated his Shikai state and sheathed the new Zanpakuto.

This Zanpakuto's function here isn't to greatly enhance direct combat, but it possesses quite good control capabilities. It's a non-killing sword, which can be very useful in special situations.

thump!

Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Luo Ku immediately knelt down: "Master, master, please don't leave!"

Martin looked at the naval captain in front of him with some surprise: "Don't block the way."

Roku looked at the other party with a face full of respect: "Master swordsmith, please accept me as your disciple."

"Not interested, but I might consider women."

Looking at the other person's gray hair, Martin finished speaking and was about to take a step.

Luo Ku shamelessly clung to the other's legs: "Please, Master, accept me! I'm willing to go through fire and water, to serve you like a horse or an ox. Please accept me..."

He was certain that this person's forging skills were far superior to his own, and that he was likely a reclusive master forger.

Indeed, the other party is a true master forger, whose forging techniques are beyond comprehension. He can't think of any way to learn from such a person except by becoming his apprentice.

As a fellow swordsmith, he saw a god!

He had no intention of letting this god go.

"Oh? You really want to become my disciple?"

Martin smiled and said, "Go and prepare some ingredients..."

"Sea cucumber, abalone, shark fin, dried scallops, fish lips, turtle skirt, deer tendon, pigeon eggs, duck gizzards, fish maw, fish bladder, dried scallops, pigeons, spare ribs, razor clams, ham, pork belly, lamb shank, pig's trotters, tendons, free-range hen breast, free-range yellow-billed duck breast, chicken gizzards, duck gizzards, shiitake mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots..."

The long list he rattled off in one breath caused Roku to panic and hurriedly asked someone to bring him paper and pen.

Good. Next, he will officially begin his goddess conquest plan, but first he needs to take care of the Warring States period...

Chapter 127 Warring States Period: Buddha Jumps Over the Wall

"...Marshal of the Warring States Period, this outsider is not reliable."

Inside the Marshal's office, Aokiji said in a deep voice, "The Celestial Dragons won't agree so easily. What if they turn against us..."

"Hey Aokiji, how's your butt?"

Sengoku changed the subject: "How did you get injured in your main body?"

Aokiji's face flushed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "He ambushed me using an extremely fast sword technique."

"Oh... then just don't mess with him in the future."

The Warring States period began with appeasement and compromise.

"No, this man attacked me, I must avenge him."

Aokiji is very stubborn.

As a naval admiral, he values ​​his reputation above all else and will not let this go easily.

If Kizaru and Akainu found out, wouldn't he have any shame as an admiral?

"Then leave it to me, I have a way to punish him."

The Warring States period made a guarantee.

He wanted to give Martin a symbolic punishment.

Furthermore, his application for the title of Admiral has already been submitted, and the Celestial Dragons should have seen it, so why haven't they responded yet?

As the Fleet Admiral, the Five Elders of the Celestial Dragons still gave him some face.

Is there a problem with this situation now?

"It's almost noon, Aokiji, let's have a working lunch."

The Warring States period proposed this.

"I don't want to eat, I have no appetite."

"I'm not saying it," Aokiji said lazily.

Although the opponent's attack only grazed him, it made him feel what pain was.

Since becoming a user of the Ice-Ice Fruit, I have almost never been injured, and now I know what it feels like to be injured.

"Can you smell a fragrance?"

Sengoku couldn't help but sniff: "What kind of food does this smell like?"

As he spoke, he went to the window and smelled an even stronger odor.

It's certain that the taste is a type of food, a food I've never eaten before.

He simply jumped up and leaned half his body out of the window.

Following the smell, they saw someone cooking over a fire below the headquarters building. There was only a wisp of smoke, which had already attracted the attention of many naval soldiers.

"What's going on? Someone dared to start a fire and cook right under the headquarters building?"

The Warring States period was very puzzled.

"It smells very good; it must be the smell of some kind of food."

Aokiji couldn't help but sigh, "I've never smelled this fragrance before."

Both of them went downstairs out of curiosity.

When they arrived at the place where the fire was burning, they found that there were many soldiers on duty there.

"Cough cough..."

The soldiers shuddered at the mere sound of Sengoku's cough.

This act of desertion was witnessed by the Marshal, which terrified all the soldiers, who immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

"It looks like I'll have to get the security department to reorganize things."

Sengoku muttered to himself, then looked at the figure starting the fire and cooking: "Who... told you to cook here?"

The other party ignored them.

"Ahem, hey, this is Marine Headquarters..."

Zhan Guo took two more steps forward, ready to teach this person who dared to start a fire and cook right in front of him a lesson.

There he was, squatting in front of a large jar, tending a fire, with thick smoke billowing from the jar.

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, would you like some Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?"

Only then did the man turn around.

Is that you?

Sengoku and Aokiji discovered that the person who had been cooking all along was Martin.

Why do you insist on cooking here?

The Strange Things of the Warring States Period.

Aokiji snorted coldly, clearly because his butt hurt again.

"Because I want to."
