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

After all, Whitebeard was a man of great renown. If it were any other pirates, they would have been terrified and speechless by his powerful aura.

Then look at Martin. Facing him, he showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he calmly admitted that he was the one who had injured Martin's sons.

And then, quite arrogantly, he said, "So what?"

"A man of action and responsibility, kid. Looks like you're a real man, hahaha!"

After the white-bearded man finished laughing, he continued in a majestic manner, "However, do you know what happened to the last person who dared to speak to me like that?"

"What will be the outcome?"

Martin was somewhat intrigued and asked with considerable curiosity.

A slight smile appeared on the white-bearded man's lips, and his tone turned icy: "This person has now been reduced to dust."

Upon hearing this, Martin raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Uh, I was actually threatened by Whitebeard?

Whitebeard, seeing Martin's silence, assumed he was afraid.

He twitched his long, crescent-shaped beard and laughed, "Hehehehe, little brat, now you finally know fear?"

Whitebeard, don't joke around.

Martin scoffed at this and replied softly, "Who am I? How could I be afraid? Tell me, if I were to defeat you right now, wouldn't the title of the world's strongest man fall to me?"

But as soon as he said that, the atmosphere changed abruptly.

This sparked outrage among Diamond Joz and others, who then spoke out.

"That kid is too arrogant!"

"What arrogance! My father is the strongest in the world, how could he possibly lose to a mere brat like you!"

"That despicable bastard dares to disrespect my father, I'm going to kill him!"

"Dad, let me teach this arrogant brat a lesson!"

Of course, if looks could kill, Martin would probably have died hundreds or thousands of times over.

A group of crew members joined in the shouting and insults.

Martin's eyes suddenly turned cold, and an invisible aura of dominance emanated from him.

dong dong dong...

One by one, the crew members fell silent and collapsed onto the deck.

It was like harvesting wheat; the crew members, who had just been cursing so fiercely they fainted, fell into complete silence.

Diamond Jozu, Blackbeard, and the others felt a pressure in an instant, and all the captain-level powerhouses lost their footing as a result.

Conqueror's Haki!

Everyone was horrified.

Such domineering beings are legendary kings; I never imagined this kid would be such a terrifyingly strong individual.

In an instant, all of Diamond Joz's doubts about Martin vanished.

Bang!

Suddenly, Whitebeard raised the Murakumogiri sword in his hand and slammed the hilt of the sword against the bow of the ship he was standing on, making a heavy impact sound.

Whitebeard's domineering eyes stared intently at Martin, his lips curving into a wide grin, a look of keen interest spreading across his face.

"You brat, you've got some nerve, daring to set your sights on this old man."

"But you know Conqueror's Haki, you're becoming more and more to my liking, guhahaha!"

A powerful and resounding laugh instantly echoed across the sea and shook the heavens.

Martin narrowed his eyes: "This old guy wouldn't be trying to..."

It was at this moment that...

Whitebeard raised the Murakumogiri in his right hand, held it above his head, and spun it continuously with one hand before finally cleaving it through the air.

Swish!

A sharp sound of something cutting through the air.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling slash descended, striking the sea directly. With a thunderous boom, waves several meters high were splashed between the two.

Martin tilted his head slightly, a look of utter confusion on his face.

Nani?

Since he's already to my liking, shouldn't the next step be for him to become my son?

What is this operation?

The waves, several meters high, crashed down.

The white-bearded man's eyes were sharp as he said arrogantly, "Kid, I'll give you a chance. If you can withstand one of my moves, I will forgive your past actions."

At that moment, Diamond Jozu, who was behind him, heard what Whitebeard said and thought that if his father made another move, his injuries would worsen. His expression changed slightly, and he quickly stepped forward and said anxiously, "Father, you don't need to trouble yourself. I can defeat him. I was careless last time."

"My silly son, this kid is not someone you can handle..."

Whitebeard turned around and scolded Diamond Jozu with a look of doting affection.

next moment.

His gaze then fell on Martin: a smirk played on his lips as he asked, "Kid, are you going to take this hit?!"

Martin remained unmoved upon hearing this. Taking even one more move would be no challenge for someone of his current strength.

Drink up!

Whitebeard slightly bent his knees, then suddenly pushed off with both feet.

Bang!

He instantly transformed into a cannonball and charged forward, the powerful force released from his feet causing the Moby Dick to shake violently.

The two were several tens of meters apart.

But for a peak powerhouse like Whitebeard, this distance was nothing. His tall figure turned into a blur, and his speed even affected the surrounding air currents, constantly bursting out sonic booms.

At this moment, Diamond Jozu, Blackbeard, and the others all stared intently at Whitebeard.

In just a few breaths.

The much-anticipated Whitebeard was already only a few meters away from Martin.

He stared intently at Martin, then grinned and let out a hearty laugh: "Gulalalalala."

Whitebeard did not grasp the Murakumogiri with both hands at the same time.

There are few strong people in this world who deserve his help, and this kid doesn't deserve to use his own hands.

He simply used one hand, but his strength remained undiminished.

Wielding his long Murakumogiri sword held above his head, he unleashed a fierce slash from mid-air towards Martin, who was standing on the ship.

Swish!

The sharp blade sliced ​​through the void the instant it fell, and everyone was astonished to see the air current split in two, demonstrating just how terrifying the power of this move was.

Kid, can you handle this?

The white-bearded man's eyes gleamed with a hint of anticipation in his heart.

Diamond Jozu and the others watched as their father's Murakumogiri was about to strike Martin, but he remained calm and made no move.

Why isn't he making any move?

"Could it be that he was scared silly by his father's knife strike?"

"possible."

"Hmph, I told you long ago, this kid is obviously all bark and no bite, he's not worthy of his father's personal intervention."

Even Whitebeard, looking at Martin who was so close, seemed to freeze, standing there without making any move, just quietly waiting for him to bring down his sword.

Slightly startled, a doubt arose in her heart: "Could it be that I really misjudged him?"

Thoughts vanish in an instant.

Even if Martin were to be killed by a single blow, he would only have to accept his bad luck.

Everyone held their breath.

Watching as the Murakumogiri in Whitebeard's hand gradually descended.

The sharp blade was only a dozen centimeters from Martin's head.

Life and death hang in the balance.

Martin finally moved, suddenly drawing his Zangetsu and slashing at the falling Murakumogiri.

Ding!

Whitebeard and Martin's blades intertwined in an instant, resulting in a stalemate where neither moved, as if their attacks had been neutralized.

How can it be?

This can't be real?

It's a tie?

Are you kidding me?

Diamond Jozu and the other division commanders, along with Blackbeard and his crew, were all dumbfounded, as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

He caught his father's hand with one hand.

Is this kid really that strong?

Chapter 164 Let's Compare Our Sons

This is Whitebeard, the king of the seas!

Most pirates in the world are extremely evil, but Whitebeard is definitely a character he admires from the bottom of his heart, because the other party is not evil, but represents a kind of order and a kind of freedom.
