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

The future is expected!

Secondly, Martin also used his fight with Smoker to figure out his own combat strength.

Senbonzakura in its initial release state is indeed extraordinary. It can fight head-on with close combat experts like Smoker who possess Devil Fruit abilities and gain a certain advantage. Even if it cannot injure its opponent, its super strong defense will leave physical combat experts helpless.

Simply put, there's a trend towards a 50/50 split.

It would be even better if it could be paired with something domineering.

However, this kind of domineering understanding is very particular. With my average talent, I don't know when I'll be able to achieve it. I feel that it would be better to marry a wife who understands domineering qualities.

But which beautiful woman in the East China Sea these days understands domineering qualities?

I don't think so. I'll have to ask someone knowledgeable about this another day...

"Oh right, I should take a look at my great hero."

Martin picked up Senbonzakura and examined it closely, only to find that the text on Senbonzakura had changed.

[Senbonzakura - Bankai 1/1000, requires corresponding Devil Fruit power]

Uh……

Bankai needs 999 positive reviews!

If love between two people is meant to last, why should they care about pork or pork?

Eat one bite at a time, live one day at a time, take it slow.

After yawning and feeling a bit tired, Martin dried himself off, walked out of the bathroom, and fell asleep next to his wife.

Robin opened her eyes at this moment, slowly turned around to look at Martin, rested her head on his strong arm, and whispered with her red lips, "Thank you for your hard work, Martin."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a large hand reached out and grabbed the rabbit. Martin wore a wicked smile and said, "Darling, don't forget to get ready for your daily morning exercise."

Ah!

To Robin's astonishment, the bed began to shake violently, but unfortunately, the shaking stopped after a short while.

Rating: Poor

[Gains: No increase in favorability, no increase in forging experience]

Uh……

A new day begins with a bad review.

If you're tired, rest; don't exercise in the morning.

……

The light of dawn pierces the darkness, and a new day begins.

"The Navy has won!"

"Great! The pirates have been defeated!"

"Everyone was gasping in surprise."

The early risers learned of the navy's achievements and cheered in groups early in the morning.

To reassure the residents of Orange Town, the entire town was informed of the Navy's achievements immediately.

Nearly 300 pirates were wiped out, including several famous ones, whose total bounty amounted to more than 20 million.

The fact that the number of naval casualties was less than fifty highlights the navy's bravery and achievements.

The voices that had previously questioned the Navy and believed it to be incompetent have all disappeared, and many people are now praising it with joy. The hundreds of pirate corpses in front of them are the best proof to slap them in the face.

……

Naval Headquarters, Maryford.

In the office hall, Zhan Guo was intently looking at a special document, his brows furrowing slightly from time to time.

Garp sat in the chair in front, eating senbei and drinking tea.

Sengoku said in a deep voice, "Two days ago, a pirate island attacked a town in the East Blue and discovered a Devil Fruit user who had never appeared before. His Devil Fruit ability is also the first one we have ever seen."

Some of the people in Garp showed a surprised expression, but it didn't cause much of a stir.

The World Government possesses the most complete list of Devil Fruits, knowing information about each Devil Fruit and how many owners each Devil Fruit has had.

With a history spanning over 800 years, it can be said that the vast majority of Devil Fruits have appeared in history and have been known and recorded by the World Government. Many of them are under the control of the World Government, and no new Devil Fruits have appeared for a long time.

The appearance of a Devil Fruit that has never appeared before is unexpected, but it is not enough to move the Five Elders.

"The East China Sea?"

Garp asked, "You should have more detailed information. If you think it's necessary, just say so."

"Well, discovering a new fruit would normally be a small matter, but since this is the first time such a fruit has been discovered, let me tell you about it."

Sengoku shared the intelligence he had just obtained: "This newly emerged Devil Fruit user is called Elegance. Her Devil Fruit ability is the Petal Fruit, which allows her to turn objects into petals for attack. It seems she can manipulate blades and metal into petals, achieving simultaneous attack and defense."

"Based on the autopsy results of the attacked pirate corpses, the opponent's ability attack can cause penetrating wounds similar to sharp blades. Although the wounds are not large, the attacks are extremely fine. Although the victim may not seem to suffer great damage at once, they will be riddled with holes in an instant and will die immediately."

"Naval Lieutenant Commander Smoker attempted to fight it but was defeated. Based on the current description and speculation, this fruit has the ability to manipulate flower petals and has quite good defensive capabilities, almost immune to physical attacks. It is a very flexible Devil Fruit ability."

"In addition, this Devil Fruit user claims to be from the Grand Line, and that he once went to White Mist Town. He went to Orange Town in the East Blue in order to hunt down the Ironhead Pirates."

"However, even the Five Elders do not know any information about this person, or about Devil Fruits, and there has never been any record of it."

Garp wondered, "Has the White Hunter been defeated? This kind of petal fruit has never appeared before, and it must be a rare species. It's really strange that it hasn't appeared for over eight hundred years and has only recently appeared... Let's put this person on the watchlist for now."

Sengoku nodded: "I will have the Navy keep an eye on this person and search for him along the Grand Line, but he has never appeared before and is wearing a mask, so he may be hiding among the common people, which will make it difficult to find him."

"However, we can find him as long as he dares to use the Devil Fruit's power again."

"I suspect this person might be a hidden pirate or a member of the Revolutionary Army."

Karp remained silent, believing it was too early to draw such a conclusion.

Sengoku paused for a moment, then looked at another Marine: "Momoto, there's another piece of news you'll definitely find interesting."

Peach Rabbit, dressed in a fitted cheongsam, carries a precious sword at her waist. She and the sword are inseparable, and the flag is magnificent.

"Go ahead."

Peach Rabbit said.

Sengoku handed over several photos: "A naval sergeant named Tashigi accidentally found a magical sword among the pirates' spoils. This sword is very magical; it can make anything it cuts instantly bloom!"

"A cut object blooming? What does that mean?"

Momousagi was speechless. She took the photo and said, "How is this possible?"

The wounds on the corpses in the photos all showed bizarre shapes, with flesh and blood blooming out.

Momousagi frowned slightly: "This is a demon sword that has never been discovered before!?"

Chapter 26 Promotion!

The East China Sea is turbulent.

A massive pirate ship sailed on the East China Sea. The pirate ship was named "Dreadnought Sabre" and was the huge three-deck sailing ship that the great pirate Krieg sailed on.

The bow of the ship is shaped like a black panther, and the skull on the flag has an hourglass on each side, representing the captured prey and the deadline for its death, as well as the message that "you will surrender to me sooner or later, it's just a matter of time."

On the massive warship, many pirates were taking stock of the treasures they had just acquired, as well as the people they had kidnapped, mostly beautiful women and children.

What can be compared to treasure? It is a living person.

Children, women, and young men could all become slaves, and slaves were money.

"Waaah... Please, please let my daughter and me go."

A beautiful woman holding a little girl knelt down in front of Klee, crying and kowtowing repeatedly.

"You two are so noisy, I really want to kill you both."

Krieg, sitting atop his golden throne, didn't even bother to twitch his eyelids.

Krieg Pirates Captain-Commander, Demon King Gin, stepped forward, clenching his fist: "Let me throw them, mother and daughter, into the sea. I also find these women too noisy."

"Wait, this woman is quite pretty. Take her to my room."

Seeing that the mother holding the child was quite pretty, Klee couldn't help but say, "The child is too young and won't fetch much money. Just throw him into the sea."

Just as the demon Akin was about to snatch the child away, a dilapidated pirate ship appeared in sight, and the lookout immediately blew his whistle, attracting the attention of many people.

The Dreadnought Sabre belongs to Krieg, and no other pirate ship dares to approach it.

"It's the Black Night Pirates' ship!"

"Hurry up, let them get closer."

With a shout, the ship drew closer and made contact with the dreadnought battleship, the Sabre.

"It's terrible... Captain Krieg, our captain... and the entire Ironhead Pirates have been wiped out! A Devil Fruit user has appeared, and he killed everyone with flower petals..."

A wounded Black crew member approached, knelt down, and loudly reported.

"What? I told you to attack that town with the naval logistics base, and you can't even handle something this simple?"

"Those stubborn fools are no match for us."

"I actually encountered a Devil Fruit user? Petals? What are those? I've never heard of them before."

Krick shook his head dismissively: "So many people and they can't even take down a small port town? What a bunch of useless trash!"

The Black crew member continued to plead, "Captain Klick, please send troops to attack the town."

"Throw this guy overboard. I don't want to see this stray dog."

Under Krick's orders, the guy was kicked off the ship by the demon Akin, fell into the sea and cried for help, and disappeared in a short while.

The crying mother and daughter were immediately terrified and shut their mouths.

"What a disappointment."

Where are we?

Klee asked.

"We have arrived at Sibro village."
