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

The pirates on the ship were terrified and turned pale. In order to save their lives, they abandoned ship and jumped into the sea.

"It's going to crash into us."

"Jump ship if you don't want to die."

However, some pirates were too slow, and the silver flames that flew backwards crashed fiercely into the ship.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the pirate ship exploded.

Ah!

Ah!

The screams were incessant.

Amidst the raging flames, the figure of that silver flame flickered in and out of sight, drawing the attention of everyone.

next moment.

With a cry.

Swish!

Martin spread his wings and burst out of the fire in an instant. Everyone saw that his silvery-white wings were messy and almost collapsed, and his body was also somewhat unsteady.

It's estimated that he was injured by Kaido of the Beasts.

At the same time, everyone was also terrified by the overwhelming power displayed by this overlord.

Martin gazed at Kaido of the Beasts with a complex expression, and couldn't help but think to himself.

As expected of one of the Four Emperors who reign over the new world, each of them is as strong as a monster.

As expected, with his current strength, if he were to go all out to contend with the Four Emperors, he would probably only manage a draw.

Martin was not arrogant. Although he had his Zanpakuto to assist him, it did not mean that he could compete with the Four Emperors in a short time. In fact, if he used his full strength, he would have a considerable chance of defeating Kaido, but he would inevitably be the one to get the kill.

Of course, it would be almost impossible for the other side to defeat him.

Then, he looked down at his injured wing, and with a thought, countless silver sword beams gathered at the wound, and the hole began to heal.

The next moment, the silver sword light instantly blossomed into silver-white wings.

"hiss!"

"Look, the wound on his wing has actually healed itself."

"This is incredible."

"Does anyone know what kind of Mythical Zoan fruit he ate? Not only is his attack power formidable, but he also has self-healing abilities. He's insane."

Meanwhile, a few hundred meters away was an isolated island, and Marco, who had been following him all the way from the island, was filled with disbelief as flames healed themselves.

How come it's exactly the same as his phoenix ability?

I was deeply shaken.

Seeing those big wings gave him a sense of familiarity.

I never expected that I would encounter my own kind when I was just here to monitor the battle.

Chapter 178 Battle against Kaido of the Beasts

Martin didn't understand what the astonished looks on everyone's faces meant.

This has nothing to do with Devil Fruit abilities; it's Senbonzakura's Bankai ultimate attack.

Closer to home.

Marco was both shocked and bewildered. They were both mythical beasts, both birds, and what shocked him even more was that they even had the same self-healing ability.

but.

The only difference is that his Devil Fruit ability, the Phoenix form, does not possess super offensive capabilities but tends to have healing effects.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had a second identity as the Whitebeard Pirates' ship's doctor.

But the Devil Fruit ability that Martin is currently displaying is powerful in attack and also has self-healing ability, which makes him have a bizarre idea that it is even more powerful than his own phoenix.

As the wounds on his wings gradually healed amidst the blazing silver flames, Martin deeply moved many present.

Someone asked with a look of curiosity, "Does anyone know what kind of fruit he ate?"

"Have you guys noticed that his Devil Fruit ability seems similar to that of the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"Yeah, the wings are so exaggerated."

"Huh, now that you mention it, it's true. Could he be Marco's twin brother?"

"That's possible, after all, their Devil Fruit abilities are too similar."

"Could this guy also be one of Whitebeard's men?"

Listening to his younger siblings' discussion, Katakuri felt extremely embarrassed. How could these silly goose have such bizarre ideas? He couldn't help but explain, "Marco's is a Mythical Zoan type, the Phoenix. His ability is healing. His blue flames are not offensive, so they cannot spread or burn things."

And he...

Katakuri, his deep eyes fixed on Martin, continued, "His body possesses a silvery substance more terrifying than fire. As for its power, the best example is Kaido of the Beasts after his plastic surgery."

"Therefore, although the Devil Fruits they both ate seem to belong to the avian category, in terms of ability, Marco is inferior to him."

After listening to Katakuri's explanation, his younger siblings nodded in agreement, looking as if they had just understood. Charlotte and Brûlée, in particular, looked at him with admiration, their eyes sparkling: "Wow, big brother is so amazing, he knows so much! So what kind of fruit is this?"

Card 2: ...

Cough!

To hide his embarrassment, Katakuri coughed and tugged at the scarf covering his mouth, pretending to be calm as he said, "I always told you to read more books and newspapers, so you wouldn't be so clueless now. If you want to know, go back and check the Demon Compendium."

Oh!

Upon hearing that they had been criticized by their brother, Charlotte Brûlée and the others all became dejected.

Kaka quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Martin, he had only suffered minor injuries and was not recovering; instead, he was thinking about how to deal with Kaido.

It is not impossible to defeat the opponent.

As long as you can use your Zanpakuto properly.

Having made up his mind, he looked up, his clear black and white eyes gazing at Kaido of the Beasts in his dragon-man form not far away, and said calmly, "You are stronger than I imagined. It seems I have to take you seriously."

Upon hearing this, everyone reacted with varying expressions.

Even Kaido of the Beasts was taken aback, unsure whether the words were an exaggeration or just a bluff.

"Kaido of the Beasts, you'd better watch out from now on!"

Martin's lips curled up slightly, forming a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown. At this point, it seemed that if they wanted to cause him any harm, they would have to resort to that move.

"Hmph, what a boastful statement."

Kaido's face showed a hint of ruthlessness, and his tone was filled with murderous intent.

Martin ignored his words and unleashed his full Observation Haki, locking onto Kaido's most vulnerable area, his abdomen.

next moment.

A barely perceptible glint of silver light suddenly flashed in his pupils.

Indeed, he was using Observation Haki to find his opponent's weakest point.

Kaido's body is much harder than steel, and even the strongest Bankai form might not be able to kill him in one fell swoop.

He spotted the large scar on Kaido's chest.

Those are the scars left by Kozuki Oden.

Yes, that's the scar left by Kozuki Oden.

Since Kozuki Oden chose to cut that spot, it must be the right choice.

Forget your fear, face the future bravely. Advance, do not stop, for retreat only leads to old age, and cowardice invites death. Call my name, my name is: Zangetsu!

He took out Zanpakuto, held it in his hand in Shikai form, and with a thought, wrapped Armament Haki around the blade. Then, he immediately unleashed the Six Styles of Shave.

Swish!

His body turned into a blur.

The next second, a ghostly figure appeared in front of Kaido of the Beasts, and then fiercely slashed down with his sword.

Without hesitation, Kaido of the Beasts raised his oversized spiked club.

boom!

The two weapons collided instantly, sparking a burst of intense sparks.

Feeling the fierce force rushing towards him, Martin quickly took a step back and swiftly flicked his Zanpakuto, skillfully deflecting the force.

boom!

As this invisible force fell into the sea, a roar suddenly rang out, splashing waves several meters high.

Martin has been looking for the opportunity to unleash his Bankai.

In the battle just now, Kaido of the Beasts showed no weakness whatsoever.

No way.

Kaido is a veteran of countless battles, and his opponent is now in a state of full-force combat.

The next moment, he once again wielded his divine spear, first unleashing a crescent-shaped slash, and then his figure followed closely behind with lightning speed.

Kaido of the Beasts, his expression ferocious and filled with murderous intent, said: You're asking for death!

In a short time.

The two men clashed with their weapons.

boom!

boom!
