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

When Martin saw Hody Jones's change, he thought of the deadly drug, one of the few named pills in the One Piece world.

Martin had to admire the drug's power; it was a drug that sacrificed life for enhanced strength, but unfortunately, the side effects were also terrible.

After taking the medication, Hody Jones let go of the hand again, preparing to jump into the water once more.

"fool!"

Upon realizing Hody Jones's intentions, Martin shouted and leaped into the air using Moonwalk.

"Oh!"

Martin landed a simple punch on Hody Jones's leg, but this time Martin misjudged the situation. He thought he would knock Hody Jones away, but the man was very strong and fought him to a standstill.

"Oh!"

Martin made a loud crashing sound, and then he was instantly submerged in water until he hit the floor and stopped, but the floor beneath him was already in pieces.

Martin stopped and looked up. Before him were floating tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, and a few small fish swimming around. The banquet hall had obviously been transformed into an underwater world.

"Gulp, gulp."

Martin tried to say something, but forgot that he was in the water. He swallowed several mouthfuls of seawater as soon as he opened his mouth, and it tasted bitter.

Hody Jones was initially startled, not expecting Martin to be able to fly. However, seeing Martin being kicked back, his face turned crazed, and he jumped into the water with a splash.

Martin was about to surface to catch his breath, but seeing Hody Jones's actions, there was no time for him to breathe.

With that thought, Martin pushed off with his legs and swam toward Hody Jones.

As Martin moved his hands, he rushed towards Hody Jones.

This swimming speed might seem fast to the average person, but Martin's opponent was a fishman, so this speed was obviously a bit slow and couldn't compare to Hody Jones, the fishman. The gap between the two was widening.

No, faster, faster! Martin increased his paddling speed, but it had little effect, and the distance between him and Hody Jones continued to widen.

What to do? Hody Jones is about to charge at us.

Martin, who was struggling to paddle, suddenly thought of Moonwalk. His Moonwalk was a way to move forward quickly by stepping on air. He wondered what it would be like to use Moonwalk in the water.

"Moonwalk!"

Thinking of this, Martin immediately used Moonwalk, quickly stomping his feet, generating a huge thrust that propelled him forward a great distance.

At this moment, the hands that were originally used for paddling became a burden. Not only could they no longer generate power, but they also affected the speed of forward movement by obstructing the water flow. Realizing this, Martin put his hands on his legs and turned into a torpedo, rushing towards Hody Jones.

"Die! Swim!"

Hody Jones produced a powerful water balloon in his hand and then launched it out.

"Hahaha! Hahaha!"

Hody Jones laughed triumphantly as his water polo ball was about to hit Martin.

Martin delivered a powerful kick right into the water.

"How could that be?"

Hody Jones cried out in surprise. He hadn't expected Martin to have such speed in the water, and to be able to stop the attack before it could take effect.

"Kiss kiss!"

Martin wanted to say that nothing is impossible, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the air in his mouth escaped first.

Hody Jones dodged and tried to run again.

goo goo...

Martin blew out a long string of bubbles: "I'm not playing anymore."

"Iron Fist!"

Martin clenched his fist and then punched out, creating a huge fist that rushed towards Hody Jones.

Hody Jones was not to be outdone. He had already witnessed the power of the drug he had taken, so he didn't take the punch to heart at all.

"Rough shark!"

Hody Jones met the punch head-on and threw a punch of his own.

"Oh!"

Hody Jones was instantly sent flying.

Seeing Hody Jones being sent flying by his own attack, Martin stomped his feet repeatedly and leaped out of the sea using Moonwalk.

At the same time, I felt a tremendous force coming from my leg, and something grabbed my leg.

Martin turned around and saw a white-haired merman glaring at him with bloodshot eyes: "It's Hody Jones, that guy is really annoying."

Just moments before, as Hody Jones was sent flying, he began to doubt his own existence. He had taken a lethal drug and was still defeated by Martin with a single blow, and this time he was even more seriously injured.

Even though I'm a fish-man, I'm not as fast as Martin, a human, in the water. Am I a fish-man or are you a mermaid?

"Revenge! Revenge! The mermen are the best!"

As he shouted, Hody Jones grabbed handfuls of the drug and started swallowing them quickly.

He only stopped when Hody Jones completely lost consciousness; now, all he had left was the instinct to seek revenge on Martin.

After taking the deadly drug, Hody Jones's previously severely injured body was instantly healed, and he became even taller. His eyes turned into two red lanterns, constantly scanning the surroundings with a fierce red light.

Upon seeing Martin in the distance, Hody Jones leaped forward and swam quickly, his speed as fast as lightning.

Being a fish-man, his combat power increased more than tenfold in the water, and the seawater also interfered with his combat power, reducing it considerably.

Is neither the right time nor the right place on your side?

Let's be serious then.

"Iron Fist!"

As Martin released his fist's energy, a massive fist-like force shot straight towards Hody Jones, striking him before he could react.

Ok!

In reality, Hody Jones was only focused on getting revenge on Martin, so there was no question of him missing the mark.

The moment Hody Jones was struck, he regained consciousness and was in excruciating pain. His eyes bulged out, and blood gushed from his mouth like it was free.

"Boom! Boom!"

Hordy Jones was relentlessly punched by Martin's powerful blows.

It staggered backward, crashing into one object after another, before finally flying out of the banquet hall.

"Oh!"

A loud bang echoed from the Dragon Palace, followed by a straight column of water shooting into the sky.

The fishmen of Fishman Island all looked up, eager to know what had happened. The sudden stop of the live stream had puzzled them, but the sudden appearance of the water column now worried them. Had the humans suddenly launched an attack? Was His Majesty the King still safe?

The fish-men and mermaids began to move towards the Dragon Palace, and slowly gathered in front of it.

"Oh!"

An elderly fishman, skin and bones, suddenly fell from the sky and crashed heavily onto the street of Fishman Island. However, the fishman did not die. His eyes were wide open as he stared helplessly at the sky above Fishman Island.

The fishmen were stunned, and only then did they realize that this was the famous Hody Jones.

Hody Jones is also very famous on Fishman Island. He is a Great White Shark Man and the captain of the New Fishman Pirates.

An extreme merman supremacist, born in the Merman Street of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, a monster born of the environment, gathering the hatred of his ancestors for humans, regarding human lives as worthless, and resorting to any means to achieve his goals.

Both fishmen and mermaids are terrified of this guy.

Because this guy is very strong, even the king is afraid of this evil fellow.

Judging from this, Hody Jones seems to be dying.

Who did this?

What... what exactly is going on?

What exactly happened in the Dragon Palace?

Chapter 196 The Crybaby Shirahoshi

The food on the table disappeared at a visible speed, and Martin quickly grabbed the last bit and swallowed it.

Martin found a toothpick somewhere and kept shaving his mouth.

He's been at sea a lot lately and hasn't been home much. He's been lazy and eating simple meals. He can't help it; he's getting old and doesn't have a wife by his side. People tend to get lazier and rarely cook.

The dishes in the Dragon Palace are all very good and have a unique flavor, allowing you to experience exotic customs.

It's strange that Neptune has been gone for so long and hasn't returned yet, not even sending anyone back to check on him.

After saying that, he jumped directly into the sea.

As soon as Martin entered the water, he swam away, intending to explore the outside.

Martin soon saw the banquet hall door, opened it and went out. The place was deserted; there were no guards, not even a waiter. He wondered where everyone had gone.

Martin originally wanted to ask someone how to make bubble wrap so that he could create a large bubble wrap so that Bonal and the others could get out and move around. However, he couldn't find a single person.

Martin only knew that there was a bubble coral on Fishman Island that could make bubbles, but he had no idea how it made them.

Unable to find anyone, Martin wandered around outside the banquet hall, looking here and there. Finally, he spotted the bubble coral in a corner. One of the branches of this giant coral had been cut off, and there was a device that looked like an air pump next to it.

Could the bubble membrane in the banquet hall have been made by this bubble coral? Martin couldn't help but wonder. On Fishman Island, most people are fishmen, so they generally don't need to make bubble membranes to isolate themselves from the seawater. Only when land creatures like humans visit would they create a waterless place.

Martin swam closer and saw that, just as he had thought, the broken ends on the bubble coral branches were still fresh, indicating that they had just been cut not long ago.

After watching the bubble coral for a while, Martin picked up the pump-like thing next to him, studied it for a bit, and then opened the valve, releasing a large amount of gas.

After finding that it was similar to what he had thought, Martin moved a branch of bubble coral, broke the other end of the branch to make the bubble coral open at both ends, and then pointed the air outlet of the air pump at one end of the bubble coral, just like inflating a balloon.

As gas rushed into the bubble coral, another bubble appeared at one end, and the bubble grew larger and larger as more gas was poured in.

Slowly, the bubbles began to touch the building, eventually completely enveloping it. Seeing that his approach was correct, Martin opened the valve wider, and the bubbles began to grow rapidly.

"Waaaaah!"

An alarm went off at the Fishman Island Bubble Management Office. This alarm device monitors the air pressure inside the giant bubble membrane of Fishman Island, and it will sound when the air pressure drops too quickly.

Fishman Island is surrounded by two layers of bubble film with a large amount of air in between, and the gas for the inflation device of Ryugu Palace comes from here.
