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

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." At this moment, a soldier from the Sea King Army ran in. The soldier looked somewhat disheveled.

"What's going on? Where's the Left Minister?" Neptune walked over and asked the soldier.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Left Minister and the princes have been defeated. This time, Vander Decken IX brought many helpers, and we fell into their ambush. Only I escaped; the rest of the army was wiped out."

When Neptune heard the soldier's words, he felt dizzy. Could it be that his entire army had been wiped out and his princes had been sacrificed?

Upon seeing Neptune's pale face, the soldier who delivered the message immediately said, "Your Majesty, the prince and the others are not dead, but are surrounded by the enemy. Please send men to rescue them immediately."

Upon hearing this, Neptune immediately rushed out of the banquet hall, apparently to gather the team for the rescue.

After Neptune rushed out of the banquet hall, the Neptune soldiers who had been there earlier raised their heads and revealed crazed smiles.

"Guest, His Majesty the King has to excuse himself for a moment. The banquet is now over. Please follow me."

The soldier then prepared to take Martin away from there.

Outside the Dragon Palace, all over Fishman Island, people began to discuss how the banquet had ended so abruptly at its climax. Although they were full of questions, the crowd began to disperse as the screen went dark.

The musicians, singers, and dancers in the banquet hall left one after another at the soldier's command, and soon only Martin remained.

The soldier saw Martin, who was about to leave with him, suddenly stop.

"I'll wait for the king! You can go and attend to your own business."

Martin looked up and said.

"This, this is not appropriate! After all, this is something His Majesty arranged, and I dare not disobey it."

The soldier tried to persuade him again.

“It’s alright. I’ll tell the king that this was my decision, and I don’t think he’ll blame you.”

After Martin finished speaking, he was about to walk back to the dining table.

"Guests, don't be so presumptuous!"

The soldier raised his head as he spoke, blocking Martin's path with one hand.

The soldier who raised his head no longer had a smile on his face; instead, sharp teeth were showing in his mouth.

Martin was annoyed to see the soldier blocking his way, but when he saw the soldier's face, he felt like he had seen him somewhere before.

"By the way, this fishman seems to be Hody Jones, the captain of the new Fishman Pirates."

Martin suddenly remembered this guy.

With such murderous intent, are you looking for trouble?

Chapter 195 Using a knife? You're not worthy!

The others who were eating and drinking also noticed what was happening and immediately left, as if they were avoiding a plague.

Martin then realized that he was the only one left in the banquet hall.

He didn't pay much attention and went back to eating, deeply attracted by the delicious food of Fishman Island.

"What, are you planning to use force?"

Martin asked.

Is this guy out of his mind? He's one of the Five Emperors, how dare he cause trouble?

"So what if it is, you lowly humans? We fish-men are born with ten times the strength of humans."

Hody Jones clenched his fist as he spoke, demonstrating his strength to Martin.

"Lowly humans, born ten times better than humans, hahaha, that's hilarious."

Martin couldn't help but laugh.

Is it funny?

Hearing Martin's laughter, Hody Jones said angrily.

"Of course it's funny. It just shows how ignorant you are, you merman. Since you think mermen are powerful, then show me your power and let me see it."

Martin said dismissively.

While Hody Jones is right that fish-men are naturally ten times stronger than humans, that's without any training. Once humans embark on the path of cultivation, their strength will easily surpass that of fish-men by ten, a hundred, or even more times.

However, this Hody Jones is really ignorant. Has he never heard of his own name?

They probably haven't heard of their own name.

These country bumpkins on Fishman Island live 10,000 meters underwater and dislike interacting with humans, seemingly completely disconnected from the outside world.

That would be courting death.

"You asked for it, so I'll kill you first. I was originally planning to publicly execute you all after this was over, but since you want to die sooner, I'll grant your wish."

Hody Jones stared menacingly at the sword rack behind Martin: "I've heard you're called Demon Blade Martin. Draw your sword and let me see your strength."

"Draw your sword? You're not worthy!"

Martin smiled slightly: "I don't need a knife to beat you up, hand-to-hand combat is enough."

"Rough shark!"

Hody Jones was furious. He yelled and stretched out his hand, trying to grab Martin and crush him with his powerful grip.

However, Hody Jones was clearly not as fast as Martin, and Martin easily dodged him.

"hateful!"

Hody Jones cursed as his unexpected attack was dodged and launched a series of attacks.

"Rough shark! Rough shark!"

Martin easily dodged each of Hody Jones's attacks, leaving himself somewhat embarrassed.

"And yet you claim to be ten times stronger than a human," Martin said sarcastically after dodging the attack.

“If you’re so capable, then don’t hide. How can you possibly witness my power if you keep hiding?” Hody Jones said confidently.

"Alright! I won't dodge this time, just keep attacking." Martin stood still and said nonchalantly.

As he spoke, a domineering aura of a conqueror erupted from his body.

However, Hody Jones only swayed slightly under the attack of Conqueror's Haki.

Wow, this murloc is pretty strong, I might want to give it a try.

Although Martin said that, Hody Jones was still a little uneasy, wondering if he was being misled. Seeing that Martin was distracted, he immediately attacked.

"Rough shark!"

"Crack! Crack!"

This time, Hody Jones grabbed Martin's hand precisely and then used all his strength to try and crush Martin's arm.

"Wow!"

Hody Jones' face turned bright red, and he kept making noises.

Just as Hody Jones was about to feel smug, he suddenly realized that he hadn't heard Martin's scream.

Looking up at Martin, I saw him standing there nonchalantly, as if the hands weren't his.

What surprised Hody Jones even more was that his hands, which could easily crush stones, hadn't broken Martin's hand, let alone crushed it.

"Is that all the power you have? What happened to the promised ten times? It feels like you're just tickling me."

Martin pouted and said sarcastically.

"Wow!"

Hearing Martin's sarcastic remark, Hody Jones strained again, almost farting, while Martin remained completely unfazed.

"How boring, such little power, too weak."

"I can beat you with just one finger."

As Martin spoke, he twisted his arm, easily freeing himself from Hody Jones's hands, and struck him in the chest with his fingers.

"Oh!"

Hody Jones was sent flying like a deflated balloon, crashing directly into the top of the bubble wrap.

"Ah! Oh dear!"

Hody Jones, one hand covering his wound and the other clutching a bubble, looked down at Martin. This man was simply too strong, terrifyingly strong.

As he watched his blood dripping down, Hody Jones suddenly remembered that the people below were human.

"go to hell!"

Hody Jones burst into maniacal laughter. He had originally intended to use this guy's appearance to make him a hero of his coronation and prove that he was stronger than the weak King Neptune, but now none of that mattered.

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, the bubble suddenly burst, creating a large hole. Seawater cascaded down like a waterfall, washing away the tables and chairs that were originally there. Soon, the banquet hall began to fill with water.

The situation is critical.

"Humans, die! Hahaha!!"

Hody Jones shouted at Martin.

After shouting, Hody Jones released his grip on the bubble wrap and jumped into the water with a "plop".

The fish-man who fell into the water was a true fish-man. Hody Jones streaked across the water like an arrow and disappeared before Martin's eyes. His speed was completely different from that on land.

Martin shook his head slightly, then suddenly stomped his foot, unleashing a burst of Armament Haki out of thin air.

"boom!"

Hody Jones was blasted out of the water by a force composed of overwhelming power, crashing headfirst into the ceiling of the banquet hall.

Hody Jones completely underestimated Martin's strength, and foolishly thought he could use the advantages of the fish-men to escape first.

"Damn it! I am a fishman, the most superior race in the world, why can't I even beat a human?"

As Hody Jones grumbled, he took out some pills from his pocket and started taking them.

As he swallowed the pill, a powerful force emanated from Hody Jones, his muscles grew even stronger, and his eyes began to turn increasingly red.
