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

Immediately afterwards, the tables, chairs, and benches began to rattle loudly, and the sound of a woman being beaten could be heard coming from the small house.

The tremors stopped, and Martin breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Robin who had already lost consciousness.

He's unconscious?

Then the highest-rated paradise will also appear.

[Rating: Paradise]

[Gains: Significantly increased affinity - Level up, significantly increased forging experience - Advanced level can be upgraded]

[Special: Flower-Flower Fruit Power +30]

Another breakthrough in forging expertise.

Martin took a deep breath and opened the red book.

Wife: Nicole Robin

[Ability: Flower-Flower Fruit Ability]

[Affection: Unwavering until death, attribute bonus +20]

[Blessing: Physique +6, Spirit +11, Perception +8, All Attributes +20]

[Rewards: Forging experience, Devil Fruit power]

Unwavering loyalty until death seems to be the form with the highest favorability.

In other words, Robin is now willing to die for herself.

Martin glanced at it and immediately upgraded the forging level.

In an instant, his forging skills had advanced from advanced to master level.

Master-level forging can produce knives of the 21st grade of Great Swords.

Martin, on the other hand, needs to forge the methods for Zanpakuto and Sode no Shirayuki.

He also took the opportunity to challenge his limits in sword forging.

Arriving at the newly purchased iron felt and forging furnace, he turned on the furnace and bellows, feeding the furnace with coke and tamahagane ingots. The forging furnace emitted a roaring fire and began to melt the molten steel.

While waiting, Martin took a deep breath, closed his eyes, focused his mind, and recalled the knowledge about the two Zanpakuto in his mind, choosing the forging method of the Zanpakuto Shinsho.

After gathering his thoughts, he suddenly opened his eyes, used pliers in his left hand to pull out a red-hot iron bar, and had an iron hammer in his right hand.

Ding Ding Ding!

Now that he has mastered the Great Sword Forging Technique, his control over the hammer in his hand is significantly stronger than before, and his precision has also improved markedly. He can now strike with ease, and his forging efficiency is much higher than before.

With a series of rapid hammering sounds, a blade quickly took shape. After repeated hammering and quenching, it was then watered with the user's own blood and hammered repeatedly until it finally took shape.

As the sun set, the snow-white sleeve was finally successfully forged.

Martin used a combination of the Great Sword forging method and the Sode no Shirayuki forging method, and succeeded on his first try.

Before its release, Sode no Shirayuki had a rather delicate appearance, not much different from the other Zanpakuto. Its blade was relatively thin, giving it a somewhat fresh and clean look.

"Not bad, this blade is quite good."

Martin was overjoyed and looked at the blade.

This Zanpakuto emitted an unusual, cold luster, its surface becoming incredibly bright and covered with snowflake patterns.

Let's test the knife first.

Martin picked up the blade and tried swinging it in front of the wooden stake where he was testing the knife.

brush!

The wooden stake, thicker than a person, was easily chopped in two.

The blade is extremely sharp and has a strong cutting force. It cuts through hard stone without any difficulty, as if cutting through soft mud.

Very good, its sharpness is significantly better than that of a good sharp knife.

After its Shikai release, this is the most beautiful Zanpakuto ever made; it will be the most beautiful Zanpakuto ever made after its Shikai release.

However, he had no intention of transferring the power of the fruit to the sword.

Martin took a deep breath, gathered his thoughts, and began to reforge the item according to the forging method.

Ding ding ding, clang clang clang.

The hammering sound continued incessantly, and gradually the molten iron was forged into a crimson blade. Martin soaked the crimson blade in his blood, making a sizzling sound. The blood disappeared quickly, as if it were absorbed by the blade and gradually devoured.

After the blood disappeared, the blade turned slightly red. Martin immediately began to use the Mirror Flower Water Moon forging method to continuously strike the surface of the blade, repeatedly forging it, then quenching it, then forging it again, and so on.

As night fell and the sun rose, a blade as long as the wearer's height and as wide as the guard was successfully forged.

With various physical enhancements, Martin's energy became increasingly abundant. He donated blood and forged knives for a whole day and night without feeling tired at all; on the contrary, he was full of energy.

The forging process of Great Grade Swords is indeed extremely complex, and it is quite different from the unorthodox approach of Zanpakuto. The combination of the two is also a perfect match.

He took a deep breath and looked at the Moon Slayer in his hand.

Zangetsu's blade is noticeably thicker than other Zanpakuto, like an enhanced version of a large sword.

This Zanpakuto is the strongest Zanpakuto he currently possesses in direct combat.

Zangetsu is also the one with the most room for growth and potential.

[Zangetsu - Shikai 0/100, requires the corresponding Devil Fruit power]

Excellent, the Moon Slayer has been successfully forged.

Currently, both Shinshou and Senbonzakura have reached Bankai, and the combined Devil Fruit powers provided by Yoel and Robin amount to over 1300.

This is the result of his hard work day and night.

Transform!

Martin silently recited this in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, all of his Devil Fruit power was transformed into Zangetsu's Devil Fruit power.

With a conversion rate of one to two, over 600 Devil Fruit powers were allocated, with 500 going to Zangetsu and 100 to Sode no Shirayuki.

[Zangetsu - Bankai 515/1000, requires the corresponding Devil Fruit power]

[Sode no Shirayuki - Bankai 3/1000, requires the corresponding Devil Fruit power]

With a little more effort, Zangetsu will be able to achieve Bankai.

Just as Martin was about to test the power of his Zanpakuto, a horn sounded outside—an alarm for the pirates.

The sounding of the bugle means that some great danger has occurred.

Martin immediately went out of his temporary workshop to see what had happened.

Sudden.

The sky above him darkened.

Is it going to rain soon?

Martin was still thinking it was just dark clouds, muttering to himself as he looked up. But when he saw a boulder bigger than a warship floating in the sky, his eyes widened immediately.

What the hell!

What's going on here?

Has the sky fallen?

Martin couldn't resist knocking on the door: "Honey, come out and see the plane!"

Hmm, judging from this, could it be that the immortal cultivator has arrived?

Chapter 152 The Great Pirate Who Cultivates Immortality

In the world of One Piece, there is only one person who can be called a cultivator.

Yes, that's the man who likes to float in the sky!

Looking at the huge island floating in the sky.

Martin was horrified.

This can only be described as overwhelming. An unparalleled stage.

If it were to crash down, not only would the port and bay be completely destroyed, but the entire island would also be affected.

Does justice descend from the heavens?

Martin simply thought the scene was too beautiful.

At that moment, Martin activated his Observation Haki.

At the top of the huge rock overhead, there was an elderly man.

The man had a ship's wheel stuck in his head, and his long, thick, golden hair cascaded down like a waterfall, swaying in the sea breeze like a lion's mane. He wore an orange and yellow striped kimono, and two famous swords were tied to his legs below the knees.

This person was none other than the once world-renowned great pirate.

Captain of the Flying Pirates.

Shiki the Golden Lion, the user of the Float-Float Fruit.

Many years ago, Shiki the Golden Lion was a member of the Rocks Pirates. After the Rocks Pirates disbanded, he formed his own Flying Pirates and roamed the New World. He was also a long-time rival of Edward Newgate, Gol D. Roger, and others.

This floating fruit allows one or an object to escape gravity and float in the air, and it can also control objects that have been touched (i.e., non-living objects) to float.

There is currently no known upper limit to the maximum load capacity of floating objects; Shiki has kept dozens of islands afloat at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters for many years. Floating objects can also be manipulated to attack enemies, but it is impossible to levitate any living being other than oneself.

Indeed, this fruit is the legendary fruit for cultivating immortality.

Imagine if countless swords and blades rose into the air and then stabbed people, wouldn't that be the Ten Thousand Swords Technique?

Martin was very wary of his opponent.

He stood atop the boulder, his sinister gaze fixed on the Marine Headquarters building, a cigar dangling from his lips, letting out a chilling, eerie laugh: "Heh...hahahahahaha..."

The other party's target was not Lili Island.

Judging from this direction, they should be heading to Daughter Island.
