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

"Even if it's difficult to catch them, we have to catch them. This is a strict order. Otherwise, it will be hard to explain to the Five Elders."

Having worked together for decades, Sengoku knew how difficult the situation was from Garp's expression. However, he had received the highest order from the Five Elders yesterday: Martin must be eliminated at all costs.

"He, tell me your opinion."

After thinking for a moment, Zhan Guo looked at another person.

Why did he call these two people to such an important meeting? After all, one is very focused on the big picture, and the other is the Chief of Naval Staff; both are good at using their brains.

Don't think Garp is just a reckless brute; he has a great sense of the big picture.

Therefore, we must call them.

The slender crane, draped in a navy coat over a navy blue women's blouse, rested its elbows on its knees, then propped its chin on its hand. Its eyes were bright and lively, and it opened its mouth to make a clear, crisp sound:

"First of all, we don't really know Martin's exact strength. If we attack blindly, the disadvantages will outweigh the advantages."

"Secondly, Martin is elusive; he's in the shadows while we're in the open. Given our position, how can we formulate a plan?"

Garp and Sengoku both nodded in agreement after hearing this.

To deal with someone, you need to understand and analyze them. After all, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle, but Martin's abilities are beyond their comprehension.

Taking the initiative without understanding the situation will only lead to aimless wandering and setbacks, resulting in more harm than good.

"We were able to capture Roger, who was so difficult to catch, but we just couldn't find a way to deal with him."

Garp said with a hint of helplessness.

As soon as he finished speaking, Sengoku shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The two are different. Roger was a great pirate, not an individual, so it was naturally easier to find him."

Speaking of it.

He then changed the subject: "Martin is quite different. He's always been alone, wandering around except for a few wives."

"Of course, there are ways to deal with this kind of person; you just need to strike at their vital point."

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

The other two understood immediately when they saw his expression.

Garp couldn't help but ask, "Sengoku, tell us about it!"

Sengoku nodded, then raised his right hand, extended one finger, and said calmly, "I have a few questions now. First, is he a Devil Fruit user?"

Secondly, if Martin is a Devil Fruit user, his ability should be related to blades, allowing him to imbue blades with various Devil Fruit-like abilities.

Hearing this, both Garp and Granny Tsuru frowned.

This is indeed a bit strange.

Sengoku took in the expressions of the two men and continued, "Third, does Martin want to overthrow the World Government? If he doesn't, then there's no particular reason for us to capture him."

Karp pondered for a moment upon hearing this.

Suddenly, Granny Tsuru, who was sitting opposite Sengoku, interjected: "Well, that's true, but be careful. This is the Celestial Dragons' order. They want us to deal with Martin, and we have to."

"Martin is a cunning fox. If we don't have a good plan, we might end up getting ourselves into trouble instead of catching him."

"I already have a somewhat immature plan here."

Zhan Guo glanced at her and said with a smile, "What is it?"

"Kapp asked curiously."

Zhan Guoyan said, "A few days ago, CP8 sent over intelligence that Martin was discovered in Capone Bege's castle. Moreover, just recently, Capone Bege led his gang to conquer the entire West Blue underworld, but he was killed by Martin, and his fortune was taken."

"Don't you guys think there's something fishy about this? Why would Martin rob a gang?"

Grandma Crane's eyes lit up: "Are you suggesting that Martin needs this money?"

Sengoku nodded: "I suspect Martin wants to expand his own power."

"Sengoku, your idea is good. As long as we can lure the enemy into the open, our navy can annihilate him in one fell swoop."

Crane said confidently.

As expected of the Great Buddha Sengoku, who was known as a wise general.

He raised his hand to adjust his small round glasses, his eyes sparkling with wisdom.

Then, his lips moved, and he said firmly, "I call this plan the 'Praise-to-Kill' Plan! We won't do it ourselves; let the pirates do it..."

Crane: "Should we send the pirates to make their move?"

Sengoku nodded: "Raise Martin's bounty to 30 billion, making him the fourth emperor of the sea!"

Garp gasped, "Great idea! We'll immediately notify the other three Emperors: Kaido, Whitebeard, and Charlotte Linlin."

.

The honeymoon followed the wedding.

Martin held Hancock comfortably in his arms. He had been with Hancock countless times recently and did not feel tired at all.

Because they gained the physique bonus from Hancock.

With over fifty physical attributes, his physique underwent a qualitative leap.

During his honeymoon, he could rack up several "Awesome" ratings a day, and occasionally even get "Heavenly" ratings.

His Conqueror's Haki is now at the Master level!

Conqueror's Haki Entanglement is now ready to be used!

I feel full of energy.

Martin looked at Hancock lying sprawled out, feeling quite satisfied.

Just then, a guard outside the palace shouted, "Lord Martin, Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, requests an audience. Emporio Ivankov, the King of Ivankov, pays his respects!"

"In addition, Captain Jason and Captain Django, who call themselves the Demon Blade Pirates, request an audience!"

Martin exclaimed with delight, "That's fantastic! We've finally got them!"

Chapter 171 The old lady has taken a liking to me!

Ding Ding Ding!

A beautiful figure appeared in the blacksmith shop on Snake Island.

The reason it is described as beautiful is from a female perspective.

Amidst the infatuated gazes of countless Kuja warriors, Martin, shirtless, swung his hammer repeatedly, forcefully striking the red-hot iron on the subway felt.

Now he is a master swordsmith. His control over the hammer in his hand is significantly stronger than before, and his accuracy is also significantly improved. Every strike is effortless, and the speed and power have been qualitatively improved. His forging efficiency has reached an unbelievable level.

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.

In just two hours, a precious sword of the quality of a great sword was successfully forged.

This is the Sweet Sweet Knife, forged using the power of the Sweet Sweet Fruit from Hancock's body.

That's right, this unknown knife is called Sweetie Knife, and its initial release phrase is: "Sweetie, I love you!"

Martin originally intended to express his love for Hancock, but he regretted it as soon as he set the initial interpretation.

It is too sweet.

It's so embarrassing.

How embarrassing!

Unfortunately, the initial interpretation cannot be changed; once the arrow is released, there is no turning back.

Martin didn't have time to test the Zanpakuto because there were still many people waiting for him outside.

He simply placed the blade into the prepared knife rack, then carried the rack to the palace reception hall.

Because Martin broke the rules of Amazon Lily, Amazon Lily granted these people special permission to receive them in the front hall.

Emporio Ivankov was very tall with a huge face, an unusually large, dark purple frizz, long and thick eyelashes, light blue eyeshadow, and purple lip gloss.

Her clothing was also quite bizarre, including fishnet stockings, capes, and tight-fitting, low-cut bodysuits.

It looks so visually striking that it sends chills down your spine.

Besides that, there's also Hawkeye, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Goodness, did he come uninvited?

"What? Mr. Martin wants to join the revolutionary army?"

Ivankov almost cried out.

Yes, just now Martin expressed his desire to join the Revolutionary Army.

“Yes, I share the same vision as the Revolutionary Army. Is there a problem?”

Martin smiled.

Jason and Django, who were standing nearby, immediately patted their chests and said, "We are willing to join the Revolutionary Army with our godfather."

"There's a problem! You want to join the revolutionary army? I don't agree."

A black-haired woman in a short skirt answered with a cold expression.

"Who are you, little girl? Who gave you the right to interrupt? You're quite pretty, with a nice figure, but what's with the scars on your face and your missing left hand?"

"Django joked."

Jason said in surprise, "You look a lot like someone."

Martin also looked at the woman who had interrupted and noticed something was off. She was pretty and had a curvaceous figure, but the scar on her face looked very familiar.

"Are you Shakrokdar?"

Martin tried asking.

"Yes, that's me."

The female version of Crocodile puffed out her chest and couldn't help but answer.

"Well, that's really great, old man."

Martin smiled with satisfaction.

Although Crocodile has a fierce look, her great figure and temperament give her a cool and aloof aura.
