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

Shirahoshi strikes a cute wrestling pose.

Martin was utterly speechless: "Hey, Shirahoshi, have you ever practiced wrestling?"

Bai Xing answered with unusual decisiveness: "No, but Mr. Martin can teach me."

Martin nodded: "First, you have to lie down, then I'll climb on top of you..."

Bai Xing did as instructed, feeling Martin approach her chest, followed by a tickling sensation.

"Hahaha, Mr. Martin, it itches so much, hahaha, it's so itchy."

Bai Xing laughed so hard she was breathing rapidly.

After a while, Martin was sweating profusely and had no choice but to stand up from Shirahoshi's back.

"There's no way to get close. She's too big. This merman girl is too big and too tall. It's impossible to even touch her."

He was speechless and didn't know what to say.

This is the first time I've encountered such a difficult girl.

The body size is completely incompatible, how am I supposed to farm Zanpakuto with this?

Martin studied it for a long time and was speechless.

Shirahoshi's lower body is that of a fish, but she has absolutely no interest in fish.

This is truly a subject of study.

"Mr. Martin, not there, it's so itchy, so itchy... Hahaha!"

From within the hard-shell tower came White Star's cheerful laughter, and Martin's distressed and helpless breathing.

That's right, Martin really wants to get Shirahoshi's Zanpakuto.

It's important to know that Shirahoshi's weapon is Poseidon, one of the three ancient weapons, which can control all sea kings.

If he can get it, he will be even more powerful...

Chapter 203 Shirahoshi, Let's Wrestle!

After a night of work, yesterday's disturbance has been completely quelled. The pirates were eventually divided up, and those who did not harm Fishman Island were released.

Those pirates who captured the fish-men were arrested and hung on the only road leading to and from the port, serving as a warning to future pirates not to reach out, for doing so would result in capture and a fate worse than death.

"I didn't expect Mr. Martin to get up so early."

Martin had just stepped out of the room in the Hard Shell Tower when he heard Neptune's voice.

“Unless Your Majesty Neptune is up early, I’d only just stepped out the door and you were already here,” Martin said with a smile.

Martin didn't sleep all night. He was thinking about how to get Shirahoshi's Zanpakuto. He wrestled with Shirahoshi all night because of this. He just wanted to go out for some fresh air.

Unexpectedly, the old king was guarding outside the Hard Shell Tower.

Judging from the other person's expression, they don't seem unhappy, which is good.

The old king's daughter laughed all night last night.

"By the way, Your Majesty, I happen to have something I wanted to discuss with you."

"What can I do for you, sir?"

"I've already asked the kitchen to prepare breakfast; let's eat and talk," Neptune said, leading the way for Martin.

After Neptune announced his allegiance to Martin yesterday, he gave Ryugu Castle a makeover, covering many areas with bubble wrap, which makes it much easier for Martin to travel.

Martin and his companion arrived at the restaurant, where a waiter served breakfast. The breakfast was plentiful, featuring many dishes characteristic of Fishman Island. After serving the breakfast, the waiter left, leaving ample space for the two VIPs.

After taking a few bites of breakfast, Martin began to share some of his thoughts with Neptune.

“Your Majesty Neptune, I have thought about this for a long time tonight and I have a few suggestions for Fishman Island.”

Firstly, I think Fishman Island should be renovated. The current Fishman Island has maintained the layout from the beginning of its construction, which is no longer suitable for the present era.

I suggest dividing the entrance and exit into two separate channels. One channel should be dedicated to passing ships such as pirate crews, and a transit station should be built in the channel so that they can complete the Fishman Island pointer recording and prevent them from contacting the fishmen on the island. This would also reduce the chances of them being kidnapped and robbed by pirates.

The other waterway allows vessels and merchant ships to navigate directly into the island, reducing the dangers to those already on the island.

The second point is to allow both fish-men and mermaids on the island to come into contact with humans, understand humans, and alleviate misunderstandings between them. While fish-men are afraid of humans, humans are equally afraid of fish-men, and most of the fear stems from ignorance.

The third point, which I think is the most important, is to enhance our military strength, not only the combat power of the army, but also the strength of the entire nation.

After listening to Martin's suggestion, Neptune said, "Your suggestion is good, but the construction of a waterway is such a large project that Fishman Island has no experience in this area. Moreover, building a waterway requires many bubble craftsmen, and we don't have many on our island."

“I’ve also considered the project. I recommend someone to lead it; he’s also a merman,” Martin nodded and said.

Neptune was surprised that Martin knew someone in this field, especially a merman, so he asked, "Who is Mr. Martin referring to?"

"Speaking of this person, he has a very famous reputation on the sea. He is Master Tom, who built a ship for the Pirate King Roger. He also has some experience in engineering and construction."

Neptune was surprised to learn that Martin was referring to Tom, a man he knew and who had a younger brother who lived on Fishman Island.

“Where is Tom now? I wonder if he’ll be willing to take charge of this project,” Neptune asked immediately.

"Master Tom is on Fishman Island. He came to Fishman Island with me, but left halfway to go to his brother's place. If you send someone to search in the Sea Forest, you should be able to find him."

Upon hearing Martin say that Tom was on Fishman Island, Neptune excitedly shouted outside, "Minister of the Left, Minister of the Left, come here for a moment!"

Soon the Left Minister entered from outside the door. "Your Majesty, what brings you here?"

Neptune looked at the Left Minister and said, "Go to the Sea Forest and find Tom. He should be with Dan."

After hearing Neptune finish speaking, Martin chimed in, "I've heard that Dan's shipbuilding skills are quite good, and he's also a very skilled coating craftsman. You should call him over too."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go immediately," the Left Minister bowed and left the dining room.

Watching the Left Minister leave, Neptune continued, "Furthermore, improving the army's combat strength is not something that can be done overnight. Although we fishmen are naturally ten times stronger than humans, there are very few people with the talent for cultivation. Generally, the improvement in strength of fishmen through cultivation is very limited."

"You need bloodthirstiness, domineering spirit, and all kinds of fighting techniques..."

Martin made the suggestions one by one.

As expected, at his suggestion, Fishman Island underwent a comprehensive upgrade in the past few days, including infrastructure upgrades and personnel combat capabilities upgrades.

At Martin's suggestion, the Sea King Army established the Sea Beast Force, and the entire Fishman Island flourished.

The new shipping route to Fishman Island has been established, and the entrances and exits that had been closed for several days have reopened. The pirate crews that were previously forced to stay on Fishman Island had already filled their Log Pose, and they all set sail after the shipping route reopened.

Forced to remain on Fishman Island for so many days had caused them considerable resentment, but upon witnessing the changes in the new shipping route, their complaints vanished without a trace. Fishman Island had not only constructed a new route but also established extensive logistical support, including New World compasses, New World guides, and high-quality bubble coatings, making their future voyages much more convenient and safer.

The pirate crew's departure took with them information about Fishman Island, spreading everything about the island to all parts of the world.

When the waterway reopened, there was another group of people who were overjoyed: those who had been waiting outside the island for the ships to enter.

The ships that had gathered outside Fishman Island were finally able to enter again, and all kinds of ships eagerly headed towards the entrance and exit.

Once the ships entered Fishman Island, they realized something was wrong. Although many of them were entering Fishman Island for the first time, they had already learned a lot about it from the Sabaody Archipelago. Although there were checks on Fishman Island, they thought they were just for show. They didn't expect that Fishman Island would be completely different.

Some pirate crews immediately protested, loading their cannons and raising their weapons to charge through the barrier.

After the Sea King's army at the checkpoint discovered the pirate ships' movements, various orders were issued according to the pre-arranged plan. The sea monsters lurking at the bottom of the channel rushed out of the water and dragged the pirate ships directly underwater. Without their bubble membranes, the pirate ships were destroyed and their crews perished in an instant.

Some powerful individuals, relying on their strength, rushed to the inspection area in an attempt to kill all of the Sea King's army, but they were easily captured and their bodies hung at the entrance inspection area.

The easy annihilation of several pirate crews instantly ignited the fish-men's enthusiasm. From this day forward, Fish-Man Island would no longer be a place where pirates could kidnap and plunder at will. And throughout Fish-Man Island, a flag was flown—Martin's adventure flag, a flag of rewarding good and punishing evil, a flag of protection and shelter.

The new training methods have been implemented in the past few days. After the competition, the fishmen who volunteered for the Fishman Island training camp were trained together. Those who achieved the best results were allowed to join adventure groups and leave Fishman Island to adventure around the world. This held a fatal attraction for the younger generation of fishmen, who were filled with longing for the outside world.

They used to be afraid of humans and dared not leave the island, but now it's different; everyone trains with all their might.

Of course, Martin wasn't idle these past few days either. He and Bonal spent several days training the Pope and Poppe brothers intensively, and even left them a systematic training guide.

The Poppy brothers were originally fish-men. After Martin and the others left, they will stay behind to protect Fish-Man Island and train new recruits.

Today, Martin and his companions are preparing to leave Fishman Island and venture into the New World. Fishman Island is now on the right track, and there's no point in them staying here. The New World holds even more adventures for them.

Lately, he's been practicing wrestling with Shirahoshi every night.

Aside from getting covered in slime, I didn't get anything brushed on.

There was no way around it; it was too big, leaving Martin feeling powerless to do what he wanted.

He was already in second gear, but he was only a little over three meters tall. Bai Xing was still too tall and too big.

He had to find a way to take down this nearly ten-meter-tall girl and unleash Poseidon's Zanpakuto; otherwise, he would suffer a great loss and get himself into a lot of trouble.

"Yes, it's time to go."

Martin answered loudly, "Go home and check things out while you're at it."

……

new world

After several days of sailing, the Big Mom Pirates appeared at the entrance to the New World in a grand procession. Although it was unknown where the ship would surface, its approximate location could still be determined.

"Where's Oreo? Where's Oreo? Why doesn't he come to see me?"

Charlotte Linlin shouted loudly on the ship.

After Charlotte Linlin finished yelling, the Oreo she was waiting for didn't appear.

"Damn it, bastard, I'm going to drain his lifespan."

Charlotte Linlin was so angry that she jumped up and down, almost having another binge eating episode, which scared her children on the ship so much that they didn't dare to breathe.

“Mom, Mom, calm down,” Charlotte Katakuri said immediately. “It’s not that Oreo bastard didn’t want to see you, it’s that he couldn’t come to see you. He got beaten up by that bastard Martin on Fishman Island.”

Charlotte Linlin scolded after hearing this, "That idiot just knows how to show off and ignores my orders. Oh well, he's just an insignificant person anyway. I was originally going to hear about Martin's situation on Fishman Island."

“Mom, you don’t need to ask Oreo about this. We intercepted a lot of pirate ships just now. They just came from Fishman Island, and they know about Martin. Now Martin has taken Fishman Island as his territory and planted his flag there.” Katakuri immediately said when he heard that his mother just wanted to know about Martin.

Charlotte Linlin, upon hearing Katakuri's words, glared fiercely and said, "Fishman Island is Martin's territory, that's great! Get someone to apply the coating immediately, let's go and wipe out Fishman Island."

Upon hearing Charlotte Linlin's words, Katakuri immediately tried to stop her, saying, "Mom, you can't dive down to destroy Fishman Island! Those pirate crews that came said that the Fishmen are raising many giant sea monsters now. Anyone who has any ill intentions towards Fishman Island will be attacked by sea monsters before they even set foot on the island. If this bubble membrane bursts, we'll all be doomed."

"Besides, Mom, don't worry. I heard Martin is already preparing to come to the New World, in the next few days."

“Then let him live a few more days,” Charlotte Lingling said, reaching out and grabbing a few lively pastries to eat.

Marineford.

"Marshal, something terrible has happened! The people monitoring Whole Cake Island have sent a secret report that Charlotte Linlin has left Whole Cake Island and her whereabouts are unknown," an officer said to Sengoku.

Whitebeard on the Moby Dick and Shanks on the Red Fox both received the same intelligence, and all forces immediately focused their attention on Whole Cake Island.
