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

Faced with the Marshal's reprimand, Martin casually lifted the lid of the large jar.

A burst of steam released a unique aroma from the jar—a fragrance of wine mixed with the scent of seafood that went straight to the heart.

"It smells so good, it's absolutely wonderful!"

The Warring States period was drooling.

Even Aokiji couldn't help but swallow.

The unique aroma of this food filled my nose, mouth, and even my soul; it was simply delicious.

It smells so good it makes your mouth water.

Martin scooped a bowlful with a spoon: "You didn't have lunch, so have this."

What is this thing called?

"It's called Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!"

"Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?"

"What a strange name. What is the origin of this food? I think I see abalone or some other seafood in it."

"Warring States Period couldn't help but say."

Martin smiled and casually explained, "Once upon a time, there was a Buddhist temple. Although the monks there often smelled the aroma of fish and meat wafting from the official residence, they didn't eat meat and would just say 'sin' and let it go. But today, smelling this unique fragrance, they couldn't help but drool."

A young monk secretly climbed onto the wall, wanting to see what delicious dish was being cooked. As he looked around, the cook saw him.

The chef, drawn by the enticing aroma of the hot pot, lured the monk over and said with a smile, "Little master, you..." This exclamation startled the young monk, who jumped off the wall in a flash.

The banquet began, and as soon as the dishes were served, the room was filled with a wonderful aroma. Every guest present praised them highly.

The adult tasted it himself and found it incredibly delicious, his face beaming with pride. When the crowd asked the name of the dish, the chef, recalling the scene of the greedy monk jumping over the wall, blurted out, "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."

Martin then recounted the story of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

Zhan Guo couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Great story, very much to my liking."

Without saying a word, he started eating Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

"Wow!"

After taking just one bite, Sengoku was stunned. He quickly finished the food inside and let out a long sigh of relief.

A happy expression immediately appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so...so delicious!"

Yes, this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup is tender and smooth, with a rich, savory aroma that is not greasy, and a delightful blend of flavors. It combines the common savory tastes of meat with the unique characteristics of each ingredient.

The ingredients permeate each other, creating a flavorful interplay. During the simmering process, almost no aroma is released; rather, upon opening the pot, simply slightly lifting the lotus leaf is enough to release the fragrance.

The soup, thick and brown in color, is rich yet not greasy. When eaten, the aroma of wine blends with various other fragrances, filling the room with its fragrance. The meat is tender yet not rotten, offering an endless variety of flavors.

"It's so delicious, so good! Give me another bowl!"

Warring States's appetite was whetted, and he couldn't help but hand over his empty bowl: "This is so delicious, it's simply the best of the best."

Martin, however, did not take the bowl: "Marshal Zhan Guo, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."

Sengoku said, "If you want to become a general, defeat Aokiji. You can do it now, just leave me the food."

Aokiji: "..."

Martin shook his head: "It's not about the general. I want to ask you to arrange a solo mission for me with Brigadier General Momousagi, without Lieutenant General Tsuru accompanying us, just the two of us..."

Warring States Period: "Are you serious?"

Martin: "I'm serious. Promise me, this whole jar of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is yours."

Sengoku: "No problem, I'll arrange it right away!"

Martin: "Deal!"

Aokiji: (⊙o⊙)…

Sengoku: "What are you looking at, Aokiji? Don't tell anyone about my conversation with Martin, or it will cause big trouble."

Aokiji: "You can refuse to tell me, but at least give me a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."

Warring States Period: "I'll only give you one bowl, so you can't eat too much."

Sengoku personally served Aokiji a bowl, instructing him, "Eat quickly, don't let Garp see you, or he'll definitely snatch your bowl..."

After Aokiji took the bowl, he suddenly looked at the jar and saw that Garp had already hugged it: "Hahaha, Sengoku, you won't even share the good stuff with me."

Garp: "Sengoku, you want to hog all this good food by yourself? That won't do, I have to have a taste too."

After saying that, Garp wrapped the jar in his cloak, turned around, and left quickly.

He had been lurking nearby, peeking to make sure the contents of the jar were safe to eat, before suddenly making his move.

"Garp, you old scoundrel, give me my Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."

The Warring States period was so anxious that he jumped up and down and chased after it with all his might.

Only Aokiji and Martin remained at the scene.

Aokiji slowly slurped up the bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and let out a long breath: "It's really delicious. As the God of Cookery, you truly live up to your reputation."

Martin said expressionlessly, "Consider this bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall on my behalf, as a thank you for taking care of Robin all these years."

"But please remember, she is my wife, and I will protect her. You don't need to worry about her anymore."

Aokiji nodded: "I believe you have the ability."

He said nothing more, brushing past Martin with a limp, though his back and buttocks emanated a chill, clearly to avoid a sneak attack.

.

The next day, Momousagi accepted a mission: to go to the Sabaody Archipelago with her colleagues to capture pirates.

She had just boarded the warship when she saw a familiar figure. Yes, the person who was on this mission was Martin.

When Momousagi saw the other person, she blushed and remembered the strange hallucination she had seen that night.

Martin pretended not to know anything and said affectionately, "I feel like you are like air. Air is everywhere in this world, and you are everywhere in my heart."

Momousagi blushed slightly, and her heart began to pound.

.

The Sabaody Archipelago is located near the Navy Headquarters.

Here stands the world's largest mangrove tree, the Yarchiman mangrove, whose roots have always been exposed above the water, forming the Sambaudet Islands.

The most distinctive feature of the Sabaody Archipelago is the special natural resin secreted by the roots of the Yarchiman mangrove tree during respiration. This resin expands into bubbles due to the air and then floats into the sky.

Because the bubbles are only suitable for the climate range of the Yarchiman mangroves, once the bubbles leave the climate range of the Sambaudet Islands, the resin components will explode because they cannot exert their full power.

Bubble cars, bubble Ferris wheels, houses built on bubbles... bubble culture permeates every corner of Sabaody Archipelago.

Upon arriving at the archipelago, Martin was amazed by the sight of these giant bubbles.

Sabaody Archipelago is a melting pot of all sorts of people, including pirates, merchants, smugglers, and marines.

The place is bustling with people; you can see people everywhere.

He chose this mission because he had arranged for his three wives to stay on Sabaody Archipelago, so he could contact Robin, Yoel, and Tashigi whenever he had a spare moment.

Sabaody holds a revered position in the hearts of many pirates and marines.

Because the girls are of very high quality, with many goddess-level beauties, none of them are ugly, none of them have bad figures, and you can hug any one of them and they are all beauties. Moreover, the service is quite good, with all sorts of tricks available.

Yes, this Champagne House is actually a brothel.

"This mission is also quite special; we need to go to a brothel to capture a pirate with a bounty of 250 million."

Martin, holding the mission briefing, said, "Women shouldn't go into places like that. Leave it to me."

Momousagi shook her head slightly: "I have to participate in the mission. I can disguise myself as a man. You may not be familiar with this place, but I am. This is not my first time here. I have carried out missions here many times before."

The mature and sophisticated Momousagi appeared unusually calm, with the air of a seasoned veteran, probably someone who frequently raids brothels.

Martin simply bought a patterned brocade robe and a hat from a local shop to cover his face.

After changing into his colorful brocade clothes and small hat, Martin looked like a dashing gentleman. Once everything was in order, he and Peach Rabbit arrived at the entrance of Chambord House.

"Hey, come play!"

"Come in quickly, the girls inside are even prettier."

From a distance, the two saw a row of beautifully dressed girls standing in front of the Xiangbo Pavilion, coquettishly beckoning passing customers. Leading them was a still-attractive madam, whose voice was the loudest and whose smile was the most charming. Her eyes were full of endless electricity, and it was estimated that any man who walked past her would be captivated by those alluring eyes.

Wow, the way they attract customers outside is already so attractive, wouldn't it be even more beautiful inside?

Hmm, what a great place! Comrade Zhan Guo is really on the right track!

Chapter 128 Taking Rabbit to a Brothel

"Oh, please come in. Welcome to our Xiangbolou Restaurant. Please come in, both of you."

As soon as the two approached, the madam swayed her hips and came forward to greet them, winking and making faces at Momousagi.

Momousagi also wore men's clothing for ease of movement, and she had a handsome and dashing air about her, much like Brigitte Lin in men's clothing, which was quite impressive.

The madam was actually only in her early thirties, with a good appearance and a slightly plump figure, especially her bust, which was very prominent, revealing a white cleavage beneath her strapless bra.

"Sister Hua, this is my friend. You must treat him well."

Momousagi reached out and patted the madam's waist with practiced ease, clearly trying to take advantage of her.

"Oh, don't worry, sir, the ladies will do their best to serve you. Ah Mei, quickly take this gentleman inside."

The madam, Sister Hua, slapped Peach Rabbit's hand away with her fair little hand and smiled seductively.

“My dear guest, let Ah Mei serve you. Come with me.”

A woman in red, also with a voluptuous figure, stepped forward and wrapped her bare arms around Martin's shoulders with a coquettish smile.

"

Momousagi and the madam, Hana, walked at the front, their arms around each other's waists, looking like regular customers.

"You rascal, are you in such a hurry because you want me to keep you company again? But don't forget, my price is twice that of a regular girl."

As Hua Jie spoke, she forcefully bumped Peach Rabbit with her hips, causing the other party to immediately stop.
