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

"Brother Martin, you're leaving so soon? Can't you stay with me a few more days?" Bai Xing said to Martin at the dock.

Martin looked up at Bai Xing and said, "Bai Xing, we still have to go on adventures. You should focus on your training and when you grow up, I'll take you on adventures together."

"Then it's settled, Martin." Bai Xing said, extending one finger as if to bump fists with Martin in unison.

Martin's lips twitched: "Wait for you to grow up? You'd better not grow up at all, it would be better if you grew up to be almost human."

"No, Brother Martin, please take me with you. You make me happy."

Bai Xing said shyly.

She's been practicing wrestling with Martin lately, and she's been very happy and comfortable, experiencing a joy she's never felt before.

She didn't want to break up with Martin.

Martin also extended his fingers, two fingers, one large and one small, touching each other.

Amidst Shirahoshi's cries, the Little Harem left the port, passed through the Fishman Island bubble membrane, and entered the underwater tunnel, where a large bubble membrane appeared on the Harem.

As it moved forward with the ocean current, suddenly bursts of white light came from outside the window of the Harem.

"What's this."

"What is that?!"

"How could something like this exist at the bottom of the sea!"

The sailors on board kept exclaiming in amazement!

"Oh no, it's a Sea King!" Martin had barely finished speaking when the Harem was swept up in the blast.

Martin woke up, shaking his head, not knowing how much time had passed. He had been swept up in the underwater tornado, and the spinning was so fast that he was dizzy in no time.

Martin tried to stand up, but found himself still strapped to his seat and unable to move. However, it looked like he was on an island through the window.

What the hell is going on?

As soon as Martin stepped out of the Harem, he suddenly felt an immense pressure coming from all directions, a pressure that made it hard for him to breathe.

"What's going on? Why is there so much pressure?" Martin stopped and asked the other sailors, "Do any of you feel anything is different?"

No one answered. Upon closer inspection, the sailors were found to be slumped over, each struggling to breathe.

"What's going on? Why am I the only one feeling this way?" Martin continued walking forward, but every step was extremely difficult, and the pressure made it hard for him to breathe.

Martin steadied himself and channeled his Armament Haki into his body. As he did so, he felt something outside desperately trying to penetrate his body.

"Stop." Sensing a strange, domineering aura emanating from within him, Martin tried to stop him, but the domineering aura within him showed no intention of ceasing.

Let's look at the others.

Martin was slightly taken aback!

Martin coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed, unconscious in front of everyone.

The captain has fallen!

A group of sailors shouted.

Martin, however, guessed what had happened; he had been working too hard lately.

This has gone a bit too far!

After all, Shirahoshi is a heavy girl, and she often falls on top of me when I wrestle.

Damn it, did that girl give me internal injuries?

Indeed, wrestling requires an opponent of similar size to actually take place.

Is this what overworking is like?

Little girl, I'll avenge that wrestling defeat another day!

Chapter 204 Mysterious Cave

As the sun rose and set, a new day began. Martin stretched and opened his eyes, all the pain, discomfort, and weakness in his body vanishing, leaving him feeling completely comfortable.

This is the benefit of having extremely high physical attributes. He has already raised Joel's bloodline factor to the top level. The density of his bones and muscles is 500% of what it was before, and his recovery speed is also very high.

Even if I was injured before, I'll be fine after a good night's sleep.

However, I slept for quite a long time; it felt like I slept for ages.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Martin stood up and started punching in the room. His punches struck the air, making a series of whistling sounds. This was completely different from his previous punches, which, although powerful, never produced such a sound.

After hearing the sound of something cutting through the air, the other sailors also rushed to the dormitory door. Martin, who was boxing, smiled. Martin was the backbone of the group, and everyone was restless after Martin fell unconscious.

"Captain, are you alright?"

"Captain, you're awake! That's wonderful!"

Several sailors gathered around, chattering amongst themselves.

Martin looked at the crowd that had gathered around him and asked in confusion, "Hey, are you guys mistaken? Why are you surrounding me?"

After waking up, he was only focused on the sensations in his body and didn't pay attention to anything else.

"Captain, you've been unconscious for two days now. We were so worried about you."

“I’ve been unconscious for two days…” Martin raised an eyebrow.

This is truly due to overwork.

"Yes, Captain."

"That's right, Captain!"

Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, Martin was speechless.

"Thank you everyone for your concern. I'm fine now. By the way, have you figured out where we are these past few days?"

"Let's go out and get some fresh air."

Martin then led the way out of the room.

"Captain, maybe we shouldn't go out."

"Yes, yes, Captain, this is perfect. Why don't we rest for a few days?"

"Yes, Captain, it's been so many days, we're not in a hurry to go out and take a look."

Martin glanced back, lifted his foot, and stepped out.

"Snapped!"

Martin stepped out with one foot, and then his whole body followed. Looking at the clear, deep blue sky and breathing in the fresh air, he felt incredibly comfortable.

Feeling refreshed, Martin strode out.

As Martin emerged safely, the others quickly followed. It was a new place, and although they didn't know where it was, everyone was eager to see it for themselves.

Martin looked at the excited crowd and said, "Everyone, look around and see if anyone is here. Ask around to find out where we are."

"Yes, Captain."

"Understood, Captain."

The group dispersed and walked away into the distance.

After Martin finished arranging things for the others, he finally had time to examine the island. He unleashed his full Observation Haki, covering the entire island. The island looked quite large with lush vegetation, but it didn't seem like a New World island.

He's been out for so long, and the sky is still blue, without a single cloud. This isn't the kind of weather you'd expect in the new world.

Martin waded through the grass toward the sea and soon arrived at the edge of the island.

To Martin's surprise, the island was actually tens of meters above the sea, with the entire island wall being vertical. Standing on the edge of the island and looking down felt like standing on the edge of a cliff.

The distant sea was extremely calm, calmer than the surface of a calm zone. Further out than the sea, a vast curtain appeared before Martin's eyes, connecting the boundless sea and sky.

Martin started walking around the island. After walking for a while, he found that the entire island was exactly the same, with no way to get into the sea. The huge sky in the distance was the same, tightly enveloping the island.

Others might have been at a loss seeing this, but Martin wasn't worried at all.

His "Little Harem" ship is a specially made vessel, costing hundreds of millions to build.

“Let’s go out to sea and try. We can’t stay here forever,” Martin said directly.

"Understood, brother. Let's go out to sea and give it a try!"

The sailors immediately sprang into action, and with several propellers spinning continuously, the Little Harem began to slowly ascend.

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, the Little Harem fell from the sky and crashed to the ground. Martin lost his balance and his head slammed into the wall.

It headed towards the sea not far off the ground, and soon the Little Harem arrived next to the giant curtain and crashed into it.

"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"

The Little Harem ship crashed into the curtain, making a series of sounds. The curtain was actually made of airflow, which was fast and rapid. As soon as the Little Harem ship crashed into it, it was pushed out by the airflow.

After trying for a while, the sailor shouted to Martin, "Brother, it's no use! The airflow is too strong, we can't get in, we can't even ram it open."

Martin lay by the window, staring out at the impenetrable airflow and the sparks that flew as the Little Harem collided with it. He had no choice but to abandon the idea.

“Let’s try diving. If it doesn’t work in the air, I refuse to believe it won’t work underwater either,” Martin said through gritted teeth.

As Martin finished speaking, the sailors began to descend the Little Harem.

"Oh!"

The Little Harem ship crashed into the water with a loud bang, creating huge waves that crashed and splashed in all directions.

Martin looked out the window at the waves and wondered if this was the first wave to hit the island, and whether he should take a picture of it.

"Begin descending."

Upon hearing Martin's command, the Little Harem submerged.

Time ticked by, and Martin noticed that the view outside the window remained unchanged; the Little Harem was still on the surface of the water, making no progress in its descent.

"Boss, we've already submerged, but for some reason, the Little Harem is suddenly like it has no gravity. No matter how much water I pump in, the Little Harem's weight doesn't increase." The sailor's incredulous voice rang out.

"How could this happen? Am I going to be trapped on this island and die?" Martin clenched his fists.
