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

Cough!

A slightly heavy cough came from the thick smoke, and Martin's eyes narrowed.

Immediately afterwards, the silhouette of a tall figure appeared in the thick smoke.

Ding-dong... Ding-dong...

The two famous swords slammed into the ground, producing a clear, ringing sound. Soon, Shiki the Golden Lion emerged from the thick smoke. He looked extremely disheveled, his golden fur covered in dust, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and his kimono torn to shreds.

But he blocked the initial release of the divine spear.

Martin saw that there was no sign of dejection on his face, but rather he was full of fighting spirit, his eyes were as hot as fire, and he was full of fighting intent.

He truly deserves to be one of the three great pirates who can be compared to Roger and Whitebeard.

Indeed, a great reputation is well-deserved.

Martin genuinely admired this great pirate.

"I didn't expect your swordsmanship to be so superb? Wait, is that a Devil Fruit ability?"

As if remembering something, the golden lion asked, "Boy, what's your name? You're someone I should take notice of."

Martin.

"Martin? Never heard of him."

Skeeter stared intently at Martin, a cold smile playing on his lips.

He roamed the seas for decades.

I've never heard of such a person.

This only shows that the other party has been hiding in the shadows all these years, but suddenly appeared in front of him at this moment.

Get a glimpse of the whole leopard.

Such an existence will not remain unknown.

Shiki wasn't stupid; his expression was much colder than before.

Martin chuckled inwardly for a moment, then asked, "Golden Lion, don't you ever read the newspaper?"

"dont see!"

Shiki's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

The lion roars across the land!

The next moment, the two famous swords beneath his legs first cut through the ground in front of him, and then, using the power of the Float-Float Fruit, they manipulated the rolling earth to transform into two giant earth lions, which instantly attacked Martin.

Seeing this scene.

A slight smile appeared on Martin's lips.

Looking ahead with a mocking gaze, he couldn't help but say, "Golden Lion, you are truly a man abandoned by the times, daring to show off your skills in front of my Demon Blade Martin."

"Martin the Demon Blade?"

Upon hearing this, Shiki's face darkened.

He had heard of the legend of the Demon Sword Martin before, but he never expected that this was the same fierce man who massacred Enies Lobby, fought three admirals in succession, and escaped from the Navy.

Could it be that I have really encountered the legendary demon sword Martin?

Then the opponent unleashed another black sword aura, shattering his two lion marks.

not good!

Shiki's expression changed drastically, and he was instantly overwhelmed by the attack he had just unleashed.

Damn it, that kid really isn't dead!

Martin's eyes sharpened: "Golden Lion, I want to make a bet with you... If you lose, you'll acknowledge me as your father, how about it?"

"If you lose, I'll call you dad?"

The Golden Lion was taken aback for a moment, then said angrily, "Are you trying to take advantage of me? What if you lose?"

Martin nodded: "Yes, I do want to take advantage of you. Besides, I won't lose."

With that, he suddenly swung his Crescent Moon Blade: "Crescent Moon Heavenly Strike!"

Swish swish swish swish...

Crescent Moon Sky Slash came slashing down with a black light.

Suddenly.

Ah!

A scream rang out.

Shiki was thrown out again and crashed heavily off the cliff.

A figure rose from the thick dust. Shiki was disheveled, panting heavily with his mouth open. Blood streamed down his face, and there was a noticeable wound on his left shoulder from which blood gushed out like a small fountain.

He looked even more disheveled than before.

There wasn't a single part of his body that was intact.

Shiki's scarlet eyes, sharp as knives and swords, glared at Martin, who dared to make him look so pathetic; it was unforgivable.

He roared in uncontrollable rage, "Ah! I'm going to kill you!"

"You've already lost. Call me Daddy!"

Shiki was stunned for a moment, then angrily questioned, "What do you mean?"

Martin explained with a laugh, "That means you have to be my son no matter what."

Shiki's face was as black as charcoal, and he felt extremely choked up. After fighting for so long, he was covered in wounds, and you still expect me to call you dad?

Do you think I'm easy to bully?

Shiki glared at Martin with a ferocious look: "Damn it, who do you think you are? I am the great pirate Shiki, who can stand on equal footing with Whitebeard, and who will become the Pirate King in the future."

"You've hurt me so badly, and you still want to adopt me as your son? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

Today, only one of us can leave this island, heh... hahahahahahaha.

Arrogant laughter echoed throughout the entire island.

Rumble!

A terrible thing happened: the island began to shake violently, broke free from Earth's gravity, and slowly began to rise into the sky.

Countless stones rose into the air, transforming into deadly weapons.

Alright, the cultivators are finally starting to unleash their ultimate moves.

I won't give you the chance to unleash your ultimate move. Don't even think about using the Myriad Swords Technique or the Myriad Stones Technique.

The test of the blade is over, it's time to end this battle.

Martin then drew his essence, Water Moon: "Shatter, Mirror Flower Water Moon!"

The golden lion immediately fell into a daze.

"Call me Dad, right now!"

Martin commanded.

Golden Lion moved his mouth, his expression still showing some struggle. After a minute, the powerful pirate finally opened his mouth and called out in an aged voice, "Father!"

As his arrogant laughter echoed throughout the island, Martin felt the exhilarating joy of being a father.

Before long, Martin landed on Daughter Island with the Golden Lion.

The Snake Princess was very wary when she saw the Golden Lion: "What, you actually want to steal it?"

The other female warriors were also extremely tense, drawing their bows to the fullest extent, ready to shoot at the enemy at any moment.

"Everyone, put down your bows and arrows. I have tamed the golden lion and it has become my son."

Martin instructed, "Call him 'Dad'."

"dad!"

The golden lion blushed and spoke.

"Speak louder."

"father!"

"Louder."

The golden lion roared at the top of his lungs.

Snake Princess: (キ｀?Д?')!!

A group of female warriors: !!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ!

Everyone was completely dumbfounded and utterly stunned.

Golden Lion is a super pirate, a big shot in the same era as Whitebeard, so why would he suddenly call Martin "Dad"?

Is there some mistake?

Has this golden lion gone mad?

"Dad, I feel so ashamed. Can I go and rest for a while?"

The golden lion blushed and lowered its head.

"Okay, good son, go heal your wounds first. You are not allowed to leave your floating island without orders. Behave yourself."

Martin gave the instructions and then walked towards the Snake Princess.

He had a smile on his face, then suddenly fainted, his steps faltering as he fell forward. Snake Princess noticed something was wrong and immediately went forward to catch his strong body.

"Martin...Martin, what's wrong?"

"The Snake Princess exclaimed in surprise."

"Sorry, I think I got hurt just now."

Martin sighed, "I'm so glad you're alright... I... I think I'm a little..."
