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

Martin immediately stepped back and began to observe the situation.

Hawkeye vs. Shanks: Who is the greatest swordsman?

Come on, let's make a bet and see who wins!

Chapter 181 Martin the Four Emperors

Looking at the two people who instantly clashed before him.

Martin pondered to himself whether he should join in the fun and show off his demonic sword skills.

But then I thought better of it.

I've been high-profile enough these past two days.

Besides, I'm already a master of the level of the Four Emperors, so it's best not to get involved.

After figuring it out, Martin focused his attention back on the two of them.

Both of them can be said to be the purest swordsmen, and they will surely shine brightly in the path of swordsmanship in the future.

After being (hyped) by him for a while, Hawkeye Mihawk, with his full fighting power and calm expression, continued to swing his black sword Night and attack Red-Haired Shanks.

The Black Night Blade and Griffin clashed repeatedly.

boom!

when!

boom!

Red-Haired Shanks, after undergoing the grueling training of Pirate King Roger and Rayleigh and other powerful figures, became an expert swordsman (evil grin). Combined with his considerable strength, he skillfully deflected Mihawk's fierce attacks.

And so, as they fought, a strange affection unexpectedly developed between them.

Martin pursed his lips and smiled inwardly.

Suddenly, a lot of words came to mind: mutual appreciation, regret for not meeting sooner, like-minded, and sword fighting.

The two fought for a long time without a clear winner.

As expected, the two men's swordsmanship was actually quite even, and it was difficult to determine a winner in a short period of time.

Finally, Shanks, who was genuinely hungry, quickly stopped Hawkeye Mihawk from attacking again: "Stop, stop, stop! I'm just too hungry right now, I'm not fighting anymore."

Hawkeye Mihawk immediately stopped and didn't continue. He walked to the side, sat down, closed his eyes, and tried to digest the experience he had gained from the battle.

the next day.

The Red-Haired Pirates bid farewell and began their own journey.

On that very day, Morgans dispatched countless seagulls to all parts of the world, and freshly printed newspapers rained down.

The above details the battle between the Navy and the Beasts Pirates.

Big Mom also took advantage of the chaos and started a battle with the Red-Haired Pirates.

Finally, in the very center of the newspaper, in the most prominent place, was the headline in large red letters: "[Demon Sword Martin Defeats Kaido of the Beasts, A New Sea Ruler Rises, A New Yonko]"

The content is quite detailed, even including news of Martin marrying Boa Hancock, and images of Martin with wings, described as a new Zoan-type Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit user who can transform into a strange bird with silver flames burning on its body and the ability to fly.

Furthermore, in the battle against Kaido of the Beasts, he unleashed a terrifying sword strike, directly injuring his opponent.

Ultimately, Kaido, the ruler of the New World, was defeated and fled in panic.

Martin, as a rookie pirate, successfully challenged the old era's overlords, so Morgans called him the new overlord of the New World, fighting alongside Whitebeard, Big Mom Linlin, and the recently defeated Kaido of the Beasts.

Once this news was released, it swept across all countries in the ocean like a hurricane.

This shocked many people.

At the same time, this also means that the power structure of the three major overlords in the new world has suddenly changed, becoming the four major overlords in the new world, and the fourth emperor has been born.

Of course, some people are happy while others are sad.

In the New World, pirates on many islands were in an uproar.

"Boss, look at today's news! That demon sword Martin actually defeated Kaido of the Beasts and became the fourth ruler of the New World."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the pirate leader's pupils contracted, and he forcefully snatched the newspaper from his underling's hand, then looked down at it carefully.

After reading it, the pirate captain burst into laughter with ecstasy: "Hahahaha, this is fantastic! This guy is amazing! He has finally broken the rule of the three overlords over the New World! Men, set sail immediately! I'm going to take you to join his pirate crew."

Of course, there are also a few unruly pirates who arrogantly believe they are much stronger than Martin.

They flocked to the sea area where Martin was located, intending to challenge him and take advantage of the situation to rise to power and become famous throughout the seas.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

boom!

Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who commanded the Navy, slammed the newspaper in his hand heavily onto his desk in a fit of anger, then looked up and glanced at Garp and Vice Admiral Tsuru.

He said in a heavy tone, "Karp, you were right before. It seems we've all been outmaneuvered by this despicable guy."

"Sigh, I didn't expect it to be a trap at first."

Garp said with a grim expression, blaming himself.

After all, he was a wise general whom the naval soldiers admired and looked up to; they never expected that he would be used by a pirate this time.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lieutenant General Tsuru, who was sitting next to him, quickly comforted him, "Karp, this is not your fault. It was just too coincidental, and Martin got the advantage."

In fact, when Kapu returned to Marineford yesterday, he shared his analysis from the journey.

They then discussed and refined the plan repeatedly with Lieutenant General He.

The final conclusion was that they had indeed been outmaneuvered.

Their plan was to use the power of the Four Emperors to defeat Martin, causing them to fight amongst themselves and kill each other.

As a result, Martin defeated Kaido, officially making Martin a Yonko-level overlord and causing them to suffer a crushing defeat.

I have absolutely no face left!

We already had enough of a headache dealing with Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Linlin, and now we have to add another one.

Zhan Guo said coldly with a gloomy face.

No, there should be two.

Garp looked at the two wanted posters on the table with complicated expressions. They featured portraits of Martin and Shanks. He took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone, "I am absolutely certain that the two of them know each other. Otherwise, Shanks wouldn't be hanging out with Martin."

"Therefore, I have to wonder if there is a mysterious force in this world that we have no way of knowing about? They are very well hidden and extremely powerful."

"And those two are from this mysterious force?"

Hearing Garp's words...

This greatly shocked Sengoku and Tsuru, who both wore expressions of disbelief.

"Garp, do you know what you mean by what you just said?"

Is there any concrete evidence?

As the Fleet Admiral of the Navy, Sengoku knew more about the secrets of the World Government than the two men present.

They also understood the Celestial Dragons who had ruled the world for eight hundred years.

We will absolutely not allow any person or force to emerge that is more outstanding or powerful than them.

Whether it's Rocks, the overlord of the sea, or Roger, the Pirate King, once they feel threatened, they will be eliminated without mercy.

And why destroy Ohara?

These incidents, one by one, fully illustrate many issues.

Therefore, upon hearing Karp's analysis, he couldn't help but become nervous.

Even Vice Admiral Tsuru showed a rare serious expression, his eyes, gleaming with wisdom, staring intently at Sengoku without blinking.

The card that the two were paying close attention to shook its head slightly.

His tone was somber: "This is just a hypothesis of mine for now, but it might actually be true. The appearance of these two people is too coincidental. Think about it, do you think it's possible to have such strength but remain unknown all this time?"

Sengoku and General Tsuru exchanged a glance upon hearing this.

It's not impossible!

"Alright, put aside the Navy Headquarters matters for now and focus on investigating these two people. After all, it's just suspicion right now, and it's not appropriate for me to report to the Five Elders."

Sengoku pondered for a moment, then looked up at Garp and shared his thoughts.

I understand.

Zhan Guo nodded.

Then, Martin, it's necessary to raise the bounty.

Sengoku looked at the two of them and returned to the topic from the beginning.

Both Garp and Lieutenant General Tsuru expressed no objection.

After all, Martin and his companions have undergone a complete transformation in their status. As the fourth overlord of the new world, how could such a small bounty be worthy of them?

After some discussion among the three.

Not long after.

Martin's new bounty poster spread from Navy Headquarters to Navy branches around the world, and they all changed their bounty posters accordingly.

His value skyrocketed from 3 billion to 4 billion, and his name was now referred to as: [The Fourth Overlord of the New World].

He became the highest-bounty among the Four Emperors of the Sea.

Such actions, which added fuel to the fire, made Martin extremely famous, even to the point of being infamous.

No one in the world knows you.

Beihai, Don Quixote's headquarters.

Doflamingo stared in astonishment at the major news in the newspaper, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid and heavy as his chest heaved.

"Did you defeat Kaido of the Beasts?"
