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

The wedding was simple and went smoothly.

.

Wedding night.

This is the sweet moment any couple would look forward to.

The new bedroom was draped with pink curtains, and new bedding was laid out on the bed. Incense candles burned softly, and a subtle fragrance wafted through the air.

Wearing a white wedding dress, Rona sat on the edge of the bed, feeling incredibly nervous. Her slender hands fiddled with the lace trim on her stockings, her heart filled with a mixture of trepidation and excitement.

Slightly tipsy, Martin approached and lifted a corner of his veil.

Like a pipa player half-concealing her face, he could vaguely catch a glimpse of a pair of bright red lips.

Her lips were full and bright red, slightly upturned like a crescent moon, and very beautiful.

When the veil was completely lifted, her pretty face was even more stunningly beautiful, and her bright, sparkling eyes seemed to hold a whole world within them, making one's heart race.

Martin swallowed hard. In his previous life, he had seen many beautiful celebrities, but none of them could compare to Rona.

I really got a great deal!

Getting back to the point...

After tonight, I will be a husband, and maybe a father in the future. I will give up everything and return to an ordinary life. Maybe the life of a wife, children and a warm bed is what suits me best.

"Lorna, you are so beautiful!"

He expressed his praise.

"Brother Martin, I always thought I would explore history alone, and I never imagined I would get married... until I met you!"

Rona's cheeks flushed slightly, but she boldly extended her slender finger and beckoned to the other person.

Martin didn't blow out the candles, but quietly admired them for a moment before stepping forward and extending his hands...

.

The next day, the sun was high in the sky.

Martin opened his eyes and saw the bright sunlight outside the window, only to realize that he had overslept.

Just as I was about to get out of bed, a strange red book suddenly appeared in front of me.

Just as he was wondering what was going on, a long, fair, and smooth leg was placed on his chest. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was his beautiful wife beside him.

Tut tut...

Her legs are so white and long!

That eighteen-year-old has amazing flexibility.

The only problem is that her sleeping posture revealed a bit of skin...

strange!

When he gently placed the long leg back in its original position, he found that Rona's long leg had passed through the red book in front of him, as if the book was just a phantom projected onto his retina.

As he focused his attention on the book, the pages automatically turned, revealing several lines of sharp, red characters on the title page.

Martin jolted awake, sitting up in bed and rubbing his eyes to make sure it wasn't a hallucination—the mysterious text was truly projected onto his retina.

He was both surprised and delighted: "I... my cheat code has finally arrived?!"

Chapter 2 Nico Robin

Without a doubt, this is definitely some kind of cheat!

Unexpectedly, after so many years of time travel, having been slapped in the face by reality and lost all ambition, a cheat code suddenly appeared.

The surprise and excitement made Martin's heart pound, his breathing quicken, and he exclaimed in disbelief.

"Honey? What's wrong?"

Feeling her husband's rapid breathing beside her, the languid Rona, like a cat, couldn't help but ask in a sweet voice.

"It's nothing, you can go back to sleep, I'll get up first."

After kissing his wife's forehead, Martin put on his clothes and began to study the cheat he had just received.

[Zanpakuto Senbonzakura Forging Blueprint Unlocked - Extractable]

He took a deep breath and calmed down before examining the title page of the strange book.

Judging from the literal meaning, this cheat should require marriage to activate?

In order to improve his strength, he believed that if he had no woman in his heart, he would naturally become a god when he drew his sword, so he had been practicing martial arts diligently all these years.

If I had known that marriage could activate cheat codes, I would have gotten married sooner!

I didn't expect there would be a review.

What does "average" mean in this context?

Are you mocking my judo skills?

Can this intermediate-level swordsmith break through?

How can we break through this barrier?

After a moment's thought, he tried silently repeating the word "breakthrough"!

As Martin silently recited the mantra, a cool sensation suddenly washed over him, as if he had instantly gained a clear understanding of something.

Martin could feel a significant increase in his knowledge about forging.

There really are some things that make me a mid-level swordsmith now?

Looking at the last line of text, Martin fell silent, utterly shocked.

Unlock the forging blueprint for the Zanpakuto Senbonzakura?

The Zanpakuto that only exists in Bleach has appeared in the One Piece world. Is it because I really like the Zanpakuto from Bleach?

Why is Senbonzakura unlocked?

Why not take off with a Ryujin Jakka or Tensa Zangetsu?

It's important to understand that the power systems of pirates and Shinigami are different; Zanpakuto are the manifestation of the soul.

The world of One Piece lacks spiritual energy, so the power system of the Shinigami (Death God) is likely incompatible. It seems that the power of Devil Fruits has replaced the original power of the Zanpakuto (Soul-Slaying Sword).

Thinking further was useless; Martin silently recited in his mind, "Extract the Zanpakuto forging blueprint."

Immediately afterwards, the method of forging Zanpakuto appeared in his mind, flashing before his eyes like a revolving lantern.

The forging of Zanpakuto is not much different from that of ordinary swords, the main difference being the subtle differences in the forging methods. It requires one's own blood and the power of a Devil Fruit to activate it.

To verify this, he pushed open the door and went to the open-air workshop not far away next door.

As the sun rises, you can see a clear blue sky and distant green mountains and clear waters through the workshop's courtyard wall.

The workshop contained complete forging equipment and materials, and it was also where Martin would later earn a living to support his family.

The furnace and bellows were turned on, charcoal and the only jasmine ingot were fed into the furnace, and the forging furnace began to burn fiercely, melting the molten iron.

While waiting, Martin stood in front of the water tank, looking at his reflection in the water.

The man in the reflection appears to be around 30 years old, with a handsome face, a tall and strong physique, and an imposing air of heroism.

Well, although he was an older man, he won the heart of eighteen-year-old Rona with his good looks and special knowledge of traveling through worlds.

He slightly bent his arm, clenched his fist, and his biceps bulged so high they looked like they were about to burst through his clothes.

Strange!

Martin felt much lighter and more powerful than before, as if he had been injected with adrenaline.

It seems that this body is now younger and stronger, bursting with power, and is somewhat different from before.

Does getting married have the effect of opening up the eight extraordinary meridians?

Martin took a deep breath, closed his eyes, focused his mind, and recalled the new knowledge about the Senbonzakura (Thousand Cherry Blossoms) blueprint in his mind.

After gathering his thoughts, he suddenly opened his eyes, used pliers in his left hand to pull out a red-hot iron bar, and had an iron hammer in his right hand.

Ding Ding Ding!

The sound of hammering echoed incessantly.

This forging process was beyond Martin's expectations. He felt that he had significantly more control over the hammer in his hand than before, and his accuracy was also significantly improved. Every strike was effortless, and the speed and power were qualitatively enhanced, resulting in a significant increase in forging efficiency.

With a series of rapid hammering sounds, the 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.

When the sun was directly overhead, the Senbonzakura cherry blossoms were finally successfully forged and polished.

Senbonzakura appears to be no different from an ordinary blade, except that the handle is white, giving it a somewhat refreshing look.

"I...I really improved my swordsmithing level!"

Martin was overjoyed, clenching his fists so tightly that his body trembled.

I reckon this is the highest quality blade I've ever forged in my life.

Martin raised the blade and stood before the wooden stake, intending to test the sword.

brush!

The wooden stake, thicker than a person, was easily chopped in two.

The blade is extremely sharp, with a strong cutting force. It cuts wood without any noticeable difficulty, clearly reaching the level of a fine-quality knife.
