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

Martin asked curiously, "You have a bounty of 200 million Berries, why are you holed up in a place like this?"

Da Vinci said, "Because I was exiled by Capone Bege and could only survive on this island."

"Capone Bege? That mob boss?"

Martin said, taking a bite of meat.

"Yes, I used to be one of Capone Bege's men. Because I disagreed with his methods, I was exiled. Now, this island is nominally Capone Bege's."

Leonardo da Vinci said sadly.

Before Leonardo da Vinci could explain, a strange horn sound suddenly came from the port.

Da Vinci's face turned pale: "It's Capone Bege's ship, they're here to collect rent."

"Wasn't this guy in the West Blue? How did he end up in the Grand Line?"

Martin looked at the sea with some confusion.

"No, Capone Begi has already occupied many small islands and imposed heavy taxes on them, specifically for the buying and selling of people."

Da Vinci said, "If we can't pay the population tax, we can only pay in cash. If we can't come up with cash, we'll be wiped out by Capone Bege."

Martin nodded: "Human trafficking? Just like a mob boss, he's willing to do anything."

He looked at Leonardo da Vinci: "Come on, let's go take a look."

Leonardo da Vinci nodded repeatedly and immediately led the way.

At the port, the two approached the pirate ship.

who?

The arrival of Martin and Leonardo da Vinci alerted the pirates on board. Some drew knives, others guns, and they surrounded the two men with menacing expressions.

You two ants, one big and one small, dare to come aboard my ship? You're asking for trouble!

The pirate ship's captain, surrounded by his men, walked over and gave Martin and his companion a bloodthirsty smile.

"Hey, Leonardo da Vinci, are you ready with the bounty?"

"The captain in charge shouted."

Huh?

Where have I seen that guy before?

The pirate captain looked at Martin and Leonardo da Vinci and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"Boss, it seems like Leonardo da Vinci is the guy with the bounty on his head in the newspaper."

One of the pirate's subordinates suddenly spoke up to remind him.

His words made the pirate captain's eyes narrow. He quickly took out a newspaper from his pocket, and after carefully comparing it, the pirate captain's face beamed with excitement. "Hahaha, the Demon Sword Martin, 10 billion Berries!"

I'm curious what you're so happy about?

Martin suddenly spoke.

"Of course..."

The pirate captain, who had just answered with a joyful expression, suddenly realized something the next second. His expression changed instantly, and he looked at Martin with horror, his body trembling involuntarily.

Then he remembered that the other party was a powerful figure with a bounty of 10 billion on his head by the Navy, someone who could even defeat a Navy Admiral.

He didn't even reach 100 million.

There was a loud thud.

The desperate pirate leader knelt down before Martin, trembling with fear: "My lord, please don't kill me. I am willing to submit to you."

Martin chuckled dismissively, his tone nonchalant: "Don't worry, I won't kill you. Answer me one question: Do you know where Capone Becky is?"

"I know, I know!"

The pirate leader quickly said.

"If you lead me to him, you will survive."

“Understood, sir. Capone-Becke is at his headquarters. I’ll take you there right away.”

That's right.

Martin decides to subdue the force he controls, which is known as the gangster Capone Becky.

With his current strength, he could easily crush his opponent.

Furthermore, Capone-Bage's influence is deeply entrenched in the West Blue, and he even has connections with many kingdoms and naval branches. Without such protection, the mafia could not exist.

Besides, he needs money now, and the best way to get money is through robbery.

Yeah, robbing a gang.

Capone Becky's headquarters is called Gangster Island.

It is a lawless, no-man's-land on the Grand Line.

The pirate ship slowly approached the shore.

"My lord, we've arrived!"

The pirate captain hurriedly ran up to Martin and said with a fawning expression.

Ah!

Martin got up and led Leonardo da Vinci out of the cabin.

next moment.

He killed the pirate with a single chop to the neck, ending his life.

It's no wonder Martin went back on his word.

Da Vinci told him that this pirate leader had committed too many cruel acts and bad deeds. On the way here, he learned that this man not only attacked his fellow pirates, but also burned, killed and robbed civilian ships. What was even more infuriating was that he had repeatedly led his men to plunder the residents of the island's towns and sell human slaves, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

That's the reason.

Martin has no choice but to kill them.

"The boss is dead!"

"Everyone, run!"

With the pirate leader dead, his men were thrown into chaos. Da Vinci, ruthless as ever, unleashed his Okama Fist technique, mercilessly slaughtering the pirates.

Five minutes passed.

None of the pirates on board survived.

Let's go!

Martin glanced down at Da Vinci, who remained calm and silent, and together they left the pirate ship.

Gangster Island.

On the wide street, two figures, one tall and one short, walked unhurriedly toward the largest castle in the center of the city, under the watchful eyes of many.

at the same time.

In the central castle of Gangster Island.

Capone Becky, dressed in a striped suit and with a cigar in his mouth, sat at the head of the table.

This position is also affectionately known as the Godfather's Chair.

His elite subordinates sat on either side of a table that was more than ten meters long; they were all notorious villains who controlled their respective regions.

Capone Bege is not yet the king of the West Blue, but he has already begun to do various human trafficking business in the Grand Line.

His power base, centered on Gang Island, extends outwards like a spider web, covering more than a dozen surrounding towns, with over ten thousand members under his command.

He is now a powerful gangster boss who dominates the area.

Even so, Capone Becky was still not satisfied. Ambitious, he had only one thought for many years: to expand his scale and funding through population modeling.

Therefore, he summoned his subordinates today.

Due to having too many members and not enough territory, they decided to begin spreading towards the Grand Line and officially set sail for the Grand Line.

Capone Becky's sharp gaze swept over the crowd.

With an imposing yet gentle voice, he said, "Brothers, we have long been strong in the West Blue. Now is the time to officially march into the Grand Line."

These words surprised many officials.

"Godfather, I think this is inappropriate. With our strength, entering the Grand Line might be dangerous."

A cadre wearing a felt hat and with curly hair immediately stood up and raised an objection.

boom!

A bullet pierced the cadre's forehead instantly, and blood spurted from the back of his head, splattering onto the faces and clothes of the two people next to him. In an instant, everyone present was terrified and fell silent.

Capone Becky, holding a flintlock pistol that was smoking, a cigar dangling from his lips, said menacingly, "Now, who has any objections?"

Upon hearing this, all the cadres immediately shook their heads in unison.

"Hahaha, very good."

Capone Becky let out a maniacal laugh, his icy gaze sweeping over the curly-haired man he had just executed. He then turned to his two henchmen standing beside him and said, "Throw his body into the sea to feed the sharks."

"It's The Godfather!!"

Two henchmen ran over tremblingly, picked up the dead Curly, and left.

Snapped!

Capone Bege slammed his flintlock pistol onto the table, looked at his officers with an aggressive glint in his eyes, like the alpha wolf in a pack, and said with a sinister smile, "Once I've established myself on the Grand Line and become an emperor, I'll reward you all. You'll be overflowing with fame and fortune."

Upon hearing this, all the cadres beamed with excitement.

"Da Vinci, it seems we've come at the wrong time."

Suddenly at this moment.

A mocking voice broke the silence.

Capone Becky paused for a moment, then looked in the direction of the sound and saw two men walking into the hall.
