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

"Hehehe, Mr. Martin, are you worried I've poisoned your drink?"

Then, a burst of giggling laughter came from inside the white gauze curtain.

"Please come out and meet me."

Martin frowned, quite annoyed. What was this girl doing hiding in the white gauze curtain? Wasn't this just teasing people?

"Since Mr. Martin has made this request, then Yuki will comply with your request."

After a few seconds of silence, the woman inside the gauze curtain responded and began to slowly and quietly walk out of the curtain.

"I have long admired Mr. Martin."

At this moment, Yukihime finally stepped out of the curtain and came to Martin, bowing slightly in greeting.

"Wow, so beautiful, she really is a goddess."

Upon seeing this top star, Martin's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

The Snow Maiden was tall and slender, her white dress trailing on the ground. Her face was stunningly beautiful, radiant and exquisite, like a pearl or a piece of jade, so beautiful that one could not look directly at her.

Her skin was like solidified cream, radiant with a fluorescent glow, as white as jade, as pure as snow, and her slender, flawless hands had fingers as soft as scallions.

Furthermore, this Snow Princess exudes a cold and flawless aura, like a beautiful snow lotus in full bloom. She doesn't make people feel cold and unapproachable, but rather untouchable, as if she were a fairy who walked out of the snow and ice.

Martin's wives are all quite beautiful. He's been spending a lot of time with beauties like Momousagi, the "Flower of the Navy," and has seen all sorts of stunning women. But even so, he's still captivated by the icy aura emanating from Yukihime.

If she represents the elegant and classic type of lady, then Xue Ji is definitely the representative of the pure and icy type. Both have their own merits and belong to different types of beauty.

What surprised Martin the most was that this woman's beautiful hair was actually green.

Green-haired beauties are a rare sight in the world of One Piece.

Could it be Monet, the "Snow Woman" who ate the Snow-Snow Fruit?

Yes, it should be good if it's Monet.

However, her arms and legs are normal; she doesn't look like a bird. She's perfectly normal and beautiful.

Wait a minute, does that mean this brothel is the territory of Donquixote Doflamingo?

Martin sized up the beautiful woman in front of him, a seductive smile playing on his lips.

Monet, the Snow Woman, is beautiful enough, and most importantly, she is a Devil Fruit user.

If she becomes my wife, then I will get a new Zanpakuto.

Furthermore, Monet is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, and the only female Logia-type Devil Fruit user.

If you can defeat her, you're guaranteed to get a natural-type Zanpakuto.

It can be used as a replacement for Aokiji's Zanpakuto!

Chapter 129 The Wine is Poisoned, An Assassination Scheme

"Mr. Martin, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Martin staring blankly, Yuki asked him with a smile.

She was very confident in her charm and couldn't help but toss her lush green hair over.

"Uh, I'm so sorry, you're so beautiful that I was momentarily distracted."

However, within seconds, Martin had already recovered and answered without any shame or embarrassment.

"Mr. Martin is too kind. I'm afraid Xueji's appearance is not to your liking."

Seeing that the other person regained their senses in an instant, Yukihime's delicate eyebrows twitched slightly, as if she was a little surprised.

You know, any man who sees her beautiful figure for the first time will be stunned or in a daze for a while, some even unable to extricate themselves, and very few people can come back to their senses in an instant.

Mr. Martin was able to regain his clear gaze in the blink of an eye, which shows that he has extraordinary self-control and is not the kind of man who would be easily tempted by beauty.

"Are you very talented? Then sing a little tune or dance."

Martin Road.

Xueji nodded slightly: "Dancing is not my forte, but singing is. What is Mr. Martin thinking?"

Martin said loudly, "Then let's sing 'Eighteen Touches'!"

"What? Eighteen touches?"

Upon hearing this, Yukihime's smiling expression suddenly froze.

"Not bad, sing 'Eighteen Touches', the really energetic kind, hehehe."

Martin grinned wickedly, giving off the vibe of a rich young master harassing a young girl.

Yukihime was at a loss for words, and her eyes began to well up with tears.

This customer's demands are truly unbearable.

dong dong dong!dong dong dong!

"Mr. Martin, Ms. Xueji, I've brought lunch and drinks. Is this convenient?"

Just then, a man's hoarse voice rang out from downstairs.

"It's alright, come on up."

She took out a lace-embroidered handkerchief and wiped her red eyes, then turned around and gave the order.

Martin didn't stop the other party from ordering food and drinks, but instead looked at Yuki with a playful gaze, seemingly lost in thought.

Soon, the lame old servant, dressed in a servant's uniform, carrying a large lunchbox, came up to the second floor and limped over to the two of them.

"Yukihime, this is the food you asked the kitchen to prepare."

The servant spoke slowly and deliberately, taking wine and dishes from the lunchbox and placing them on the table where Martin was.

"Mr. Martin, these are snacks and dishes that Xue Ji specially prepared for the guests. I hope you won't find them offensive. If anything is done poorly, then Xue Ji will have to drink a penalty drink. So, Xue Ji will punish herself with three drinks."

At this moment, Yuki seemed to have made up her mind. She walked up to Mr. Martin, reached out and picked up the wine jug that had just been served, poured herself a glass, and then tilted her head back and drank it down.

"Haha, since Yukihime is drinking, I naturally can't be an exception."

Seeing Yuki reach for the wine jug, Martin preemptively grabbed it, poured himself a glass from the empty glass, smelled it, and exclaimed, "Good wine!"

Just as he said "good wine," the wine jug in his hand suddenly fell to the ground with a clatter for some unknown reason.

The ceramic wine jug shattered into pieces. However, the moment it hit the ground, Martin seemed to notice that the jug's structure was unusual. It appeared to be divided into two layers, and one layer had a particularly strange liquid flowing out. Upon contact with the ground, it emitted white smoke and developed a foul odor.

"This wine is poisoned!"

Martin's expression turned cold as he looked at the two people beside him.

"kill!"

In that instant, Xue Ji suddenly cried out, reached for her waist, and drew a dagger that gleamed with a cold light, aiming straight for Martin's throat.

"Go to hell!"

Almost simultaneously, the old servant standing behind also made his move. He was closest to Martin and the fastest to strike. One of his claws turned bright red and went straight for Martin's back, moving with incredible speed.

"boring."

Martin gave a dismissive smile.

"Hmph, I knew you two were up to something."

Martin reacted extremely quickly, as if he had known all along that the two would ambush him, so as soon as they made their move, his iron fist slammed out almost simultaneously.

With his left hand reaching back, his iron fist collided with the ordinary claw, instantly neutralizing the servant's vicious and deadly attack.

The gleaming dagger followed, but Martin extended two long hairs and caught the tip of the dagger. Seeing the urgency of the situation and that his opponents were about to attack him again, he immediately unleashed a flurry of punches, one in front and one behind, striking the two men in the waist with extremely powerful and ferocious force, forcing them back.

"Well done."

Martin, who had forced the two back, did not pursue them rashly, but instead narrowed his eyes and sized them up.

At this moment, a hard mark appeared on his left index finger. This was because the Snow Princess dagger was too sharp. He only held the tip of the dagger for about half a second before the other party broke free.

He also noticed that Yukihime was knocked back about three steps, while the old servant only retreated a little over two steps, clearly indicating that the old servant was stronger.

At this moment, Xue Ji and her servant were also extremely astonished. Not only did their combined assassination attempt evade them, but the opponent also used her fists to force them back. While forcing them back, the opponent didn't even move, sitting firmly in place like a mountain, which showed how strong she was. This was beyond their expectations.

"As expected of Mr. Martin, I heard you defeated two Shichibukai. It seems that's true. It would be very difficult for the two of us to kill you. But it's strange, how did you see through me?"

Yukihime was puzzled by her mistake, so she couldn't help but ask.

At this moment, Yukihime was no longer the gentle and delicate woman she had been just moments before. Her beautiful face was icy cold, like a sculpted block of ice, and her eyes radiated a chilling aura.

"Mr. Martin, I'm also wondering why you found us ahead of time."

The servant beside him asked with a puzzled look. He could tell that Mr. Martin had made preparations in advance, which was why he was able to evade their joint assassination attempt, something that surprised him.

"Hehe, that's because your acting skills are just too bad, outrageously bad."

Martin sat there and shook his head, sounding like a master craftsman evaluating his apprentice's skills, full of dissatisfaction.

"Acting skills? Is there a problem with our acting skills?"

The servant and Yukihime exchanged a glance, seemingly quite puzzled.

"What? You two still don't understand where you went wrong? You're both amateurs. I'll give you some pointers today."

Seeing the two looking completely bewildered, Martin shook his head slightly: "First of all, servant, there's something wrong with your gait. You're clearly not lame, but you insist on pretending to be, trying to cover up your physical skills so that I'll lower my guard. To do this, you even deliberately increased your breathing and pretended to walk with great difficulty. Unfortunately, the way you wiggle your hips is too unnatural. You clearly have a problem with your left leg, but you insist on wiggling your right hip. Your acting is truly terrible; even a three-year-old could act better than you."

"You actually said I wiggled my butt wrong."

The servant was furious. It seemed he had put a lot of effort into pretending to be lame, but the other party saw through it at a glance and even scolded him for his terrible acting skills. He was speechless and embarrassed.

"I told you your gait was unnatural; it turns out you were wiggling your hips wrong."

Upon hearing this, Yukihime couldn't help but say something.

"You have no right to judge others. The biggest flaw is actually in yourself. You are good-looking, but you are far too lacking in service awareness."

"To be honest, your acting skills are even worse than this servant's. They're amateurish to the extreme, utterly appalling. With acting skills like that, even if you threw yourself into the director's arms and slept with him, you'd never become the leading lady."

Seeing Yuki's stunned expression, Martin curled his lip, looking utterly disdainful.

At this moment, both the servant and Yukihime looked very ugly. The other party had described them as utterly useless, as if they were cripples.

"You two idiots, you don't even have the most basic acting skills, what are you acting for? Trying to force me to drink poison is just wishful thinking, it makes me want to vomit. Do you even know what the Oscar spirit is? If you don't, it's obvious that you two don't like to read."
