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

He got off too easy!

"The BOSS, the Miracle Man, the strongest transvestite king in history," Emporio Ivankov, has been found; he's outside.

MR3 then pushed open the door and walked in to report to Crocodile.

"Oh! That's wonderful... I must greet him in person."

Crocodile immediately stood up and started walking, not only with his toes pointing inwards, but also with his right hand forming a delicate pinky gesture...

.

The massive castle at the ruins of the kingdom on the island of Klaigana was kept very clean.

Hawkeye was alone, drinking red wine and reading today's newspaper.

When he doesn't go out to sea, he lives a very comfortable life. He grows his own vegetables and cooks all his own meals. Although he gets a little bored by himself, he finds his life fulfilling.

"What? Martin was killed by the Buster Call?"

"How is this possible?!"

When Homick saw the information in the newspaper, he trembled all over, spilling the wine glass he had just picked up onto the floor.

He knew Martin's strength. Although his swordsmanship was ordinary and unique, his killing moves were extremely powerful, even the strongest sword killing moves in the world.

Such a being is probably something even a naval admiral might not be able to defeat.

It's unbelievable that the other party was killed by the Buster Call.

Homick was deeply disturbed. He had never imagined that the man who could send him flying would be killed by the Navy.

He wanted to spar with him again to improve his swordsmanship and unleash his sword moves once more, but little did he know that they were already separated by death.

……

Orange Town.

"My godfather and his two wives were all killed?"

"How is this possible?"

"Impossible, my godfather couldn't possibly be dead."

"Damn the Navy, damn the Buster Call."

Jason and Django, upon seeing the news in the newspaper, embraced each other and wept bitterly. They both knelt down facing the Grand Line and remained kneeling for a long time, unable to stand up. Nojiko followed suit, tears streaming down her face.

The old town mayor could only sigh as he looked at the newspaper.

Jason, enraged, tore up the newspaper: "Django, you've seen it too, this is the true face of the World Government. For some damn history, they killed my adoptive father!"

Django wiped away his tears: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Jason shouted, "Let's become pirates or revolutionaries!"

.

"Warring States? You're saying Martin is dead?"

Zephyr glared furiously at Sengoku, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"He committed suicide; he died in the gunfire."

Sengoku answered, but dared not look Zefa in the eye.

"You...you promised to keep him safe and sound!"

Zephyr smashed the Sengoku table with a single punch, his fists clenched tightly.

During the Warring States period, he remained in a state of forbearance, simply crossing his arms and remaining silent.

Karp warned, "Zeff, that's enough. This isn't what we want to see."

"Martin knew the Celestial Dragons wouldn't let him go, so he chose to commit suicide. It's a tragedy... You can't blame Sengoku; you can only blame the Celestial Dragons. I never expected them to be so obsessed with knowledge from 800 years ago."

"Celestial Dragons, it's Celestial Dragons again?"

Zephyr roared, "I heard that those Celestial Dragons actually want Edward Weevil to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

"Recruit that ruthless pirate? That's utter nonsense!"

"That guy killed a lot of my students."

"The Navy exists for justice and order, not as dogs of the Celestial Dragons!"

Sengoku finally opened his mouth: "Zeff, you are a former Marine Admiral, you should know the Celestial Dragons' methods... Once they decide on something, they will definitely carry it out."

Zephyr's eyes were filled with tears: "Enough... From now on, I will no longer be a Marine."

He took off his naval uniform and threw it to Sengoku.

It's all his fault; he caused all this trouble.

If it weren't for his persistence, Martin wouldn't have gotten to this point.

Have the Celestial Dragons gone mad?

Sacrificing a general-level combatant for a historian?

This is insane, utterly insane!

Such a world government, or rather the Celestial Dragons, is truly disappointing.

"I'm sorry, Martin."

"If it weren't for your help back then, my arm would have been severed long ago."

"I've wronged you, and today I'll repay you with a helping hand!"

Zefa suddenly drew the blade from the waist of the guard beside him and slashed it off, severing his own right arm. Blood gushed out immediately.

"Zefa!"

"What are you doing?"

Sengoku and Garp exclaimed in surprise.

Ze left resolutely.

Even when his wife and daughters were killed by pirates, he never lost faith in the Navy.

He was disappointed by both the Celestial Dragons and the Navy, utterly disappointed.

……

Momousagi, Tashigi, Tina, Monet, Nami, Zoro, and Kuina, dressed in black, stood in front of an empty tombstone, attending a funeral.

There was only one empty coffin in the coffin.

The coffin contained only the clothes Martin had worn.

This is just a cenotaph.

Several girls cried bitterly, tears streaming down their faces, heartbroken. Some children, in particular, could not hold back their tears.

Some of them witnessed Martin being killed by a shell, not even a whole piece of his flesh, and they were deeply saddened by it.

Sengoku carried out Martin's last wish; the women were only punished in name, not in any real way.

But grief has already gripped everyone's hearts.

"I miss my husband in heaven! You've left us, and I'm devastated by your loss. Every day feels like an eternity. I long to go with you, but there are so many responsibilities I haven't fulfilled. May you rest in peace in heaven!"

Momousagi spoke with tears welling up in her eyes.

"husband……"

Tashigi didn't know what to say, she just kept crying.

They didn't spend much time with Martin, but their affection for him was beyond words.

They expressed their grief and reluctance only through tears.

Just then, three people walked over from a distance.

They are Sengoku, Garp, and Aokiji.

The three of them arrived at Martin's cenotaph and laid flowers there.

Looking at the group of crying girls, Garp couldn't help but sigh, "Martin is such a charming man. All the beauties in our navy are going to be taken by this kid. He'll be a womanizer even in death. I really admire him."

Zhan Guo curled his lip: "Hey, don't talk nonsense. Do you want to be a perverted old man?"

Aokiji: ...

The three remained silent for a long time, staring at Martin's name on the tombstone, until the sun set.

Martin was undoubtedly a formidable figure, with strength comparable to a general. Unfortunately, his shining moment was too short, as brief as a shooting star, fleeting and ephemeral.

But the impression he left on everyone was indeed very deep.

This is a tragedy for the navy, and a tragedy for the times; they, as the world's elite, are powerless to change it...

.

The Holy Land, Mary Geoise, is the location of the World Government headquarters.

There is an unidentified figure who lives in the flower garden deep within the city of Pangaea in Mary Geoise, and is revered by the Five Elders as "Lord Im".

Possessing unfathomable power, he can sit on the Empty Throne, which even the Celestial Dragons cannot possess, and can issue orders to the Five Elders to erase any object or island from the flow of history.

Above the Void Throne, Im's outline and silhouette appeared.

Her body and arms, and her slender eyes, with red pupils surrounded by tiny circles. He wore a crown with four towering spikes and a cloak that reached the ground.

In a woman's voice, she called out to the Five Elders below: "Are you sure that remnant of the Ohara faction and the so-called Demon Blade Martin have been eliminated?"

Stan, one of the Five Elders kneeling beneath the Void Throne, replied, "Yes, Lord Im. Thanks to the Buster Call and the efforts of several Marine Admirals, the demon sword Martin and the demon child Nico Robin have been killed, their bodies blown to pieces."

Im said in a deep voice, "Very well. Every hundred years there will always be some ignorant people who want to explore history, and this is absolutely not allowed."

"As for CP0, rebuild it immediately. That piece of trash is a disgrace to the Celestial Dragons."

Im paused, then continued, "Remember this: no one is allowed to touch the history of 800 years ago, no one..."

"As ordered!"

The Five Elders bowed their heads deeply.
