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

He looked up and saw a tall man appear on the scene.

“Jack!” Martin recognized the man at a glance; he was Jack the Drought, one of the three calamities of the Beasts Pirates.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Jack strode toward Martin, each step making a heavy thud.

Jack approached Martin, glared at him, and asked, "You're the Demon Blade Martin? You don't look like much to me."

"Great, Martin, surrender! Our captain has been looking for you for a long time."

Jack said excitedly, "After all, you are known as the weakest of the Five Emperors."

"Surrender? Hahaha, that's hilarious! You think you can make me surrender?" Martin laughed.

"How dare they underestimate me!"

Jack shouted angrily. Now was the time for him to be full of confidence. His Devil Fruit had just awakened, and he felt stronger than ever before, not much weaker than their captain.

"go to hell!"

For a moment, Jack forgot that his captain was looking for Martin. He had only one thought in his mind: to kill this arrogant brat in front of him.

Although Jack was furious, he was not careless. The punch he had just received made him realize that Martin was not someone to be trifled with, so he went all out from the start. His black fist was already at the maximum level of Armament Haki, and his two feet moved with the speed of the wind as he delivered a powerful punch.

Martin, not to be outdone, met the fist, which was about the same size as his own, head-on.

"boom!"

Two fists, one big and one small, collided with a dull thud. A gust of wind swept across the entire Insect Island in an instant. Pirates on patrol and islanders working were blown about, buildings on the island collapsed, and some of the weaker people were knocked unconscious.

Martin then struck with his other hand.

Jack tried to attack again, but Martin was too big; one of his fists completely covered his entire body. Just then, Jack felt another blow to his arm.

"Oh!"

Martin's punch landed on Jack's fist again, sending Jack's fist flying backward.

After Martin fought off Jack, he pushed off the ground with both feet and shot into the air, instantly appearing next to Jack's head.

"Whirl kick!"

Martin grabbed Jack's hair, sending him flying high into the air, and then kicked Jack's head with both feet.

"Bang bang!"

Martin's two kicks struck Jack directly in the head. Jack, who was behind him, was knocked to the ground by the two kicks and rolled several times before coming to a stop.

Jack's eyes began to redden. This was a great humiliation; he had actually been beaten back by a little kid.

"Oh dear!"

Jack shouted and began to transform into a gigantic elephant, its two long tusks pointing straight at Martin like two sharp swords.

"Strike with the elephant's trunk!"

Jack swung his massive trunk, which flew through the air like a long whip, quickly forming a net that enveloped Martin.

Martin looked at the sky full of nose shadows and didn't know where to hide for a moment.

He observed the nose contouring; Jack's nose was not only large, but also incredibly fast. What was originally a flaw was perfectly concealed by his nose.

"Oh!"

Unable to find a loophole to hit Jack through the nose shadow, Martin jumped back, straightened his body, squatted in a horse stance, and then clenched his fist and punched forward.

"Iron Fist!"

Since we cannot find any loopholes, we can only try to overcome all obstacles with sheer force.

Jack saw Martin jump backward, escaping his nose shadow encirclement, and stopped as well, lowering his ivory forward.

"Ivory Impact!"

Jack used all his strength to charge at Martin, aiming his tusks at Martin's head, intending to kill him with them.

"boom!"

Martin's punch and Jack's charge met mid-air, and the two attacks collided.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Jack exerted force with all four feet, trying to break through Martin's punching power, but Martin's punching power was as solid as a rock, pushing Jack backward continuously.

Jack's limbs were like four sharp plows, carving four long tracks in the ground.

"Oh!"

Jack's rear end slammed against the wall before stopping, and a trickle of blood flowed down his forehead, dripping onto the ground.

"Damn it, I'm injured." Jack never expected that despite awakening his Zoan-type Devil Fruit, he would lose to Martin in terms of strength, and he was even injured.

"go to hell!"

Jack transformed again, this time into a half-orc. Then, Jack removed two tusks, and upon touching them, he discovered they were two curved swords. Jack held the swords in his hands.

"Death Cut!"

Jack brandished his scimitar and charged toward Martin. Surprisingly, Jack, with two legs, ran even faster than when he had four limbs. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Martin, and his scimitar swung rapidly, slashing at Martin from both sides.

Martin stared at the gleaming white knife, his fists flailing rapidly.

"Clang clang clang!"

Martin's fists pounded relentlessly against Jack's scimitar, producing a series of metallic clanging sounds. Martin then broke through the scimitar's obstruction and stood before Jack.

"Bang bang!"

Martin punched Jack in the head twice more, causing Jack to stagger backward repeatedly.

"It's no use, it's no use! Your attacks can't kill me!"

As Jack spoke, his injuries had healed. In previous battles, Jack often relied on his abundant stamina and rapid recovery ability to wear down his opponents. After discovering that Martin was stronger than him, he wanted to use the same tactic to wear Martin down. Moreover, after awakening his Devil Fruit ability, his recovery ability and stamina were even more abundant.

Martin was also astonished by Jack's powerful physique. He hadn't expected Jack to be so strong. Even though his own strength had increased significantly, they still ended up fighting to a draw.

God, beware!

Martin simply unleashed his Conqueror's Haki and threw a punch.

"Oh!"

Jack was completely unprepared and let Martin's fist land on his chest.

"It's useless, it's useless, your attack can't possibly hurt me, hahaha!" Jack laughed loudly.

"puff!"

Just as Jack finished laughing, a sharp pain shot through his chest, followed by a mouthful of blood and his internal organs gushing from his mouth. He then began to weaken, with blood continuously flowing from his mouth. Slowly, Jack grew weaker and weaker until finally, his eyes widened and he died.

"Oh!"

Jack's towering body fell to the ground, raising clouds of dust. The great pirate had died on Insect Island.

"call!"

Martin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jack fall to the ground.

It still takes Conqueror's Haki's Divine Evasion to be truly powerful. It can instantly break through the enemy's defenses, annihilate the enemy, and defeat the enemy. The first time I tried it, I didn't expect it to be so effective. Although the attack did not break Jack's physical body, it shattered Jack's internal organs and killed Jack in one blow.

Upon seeing this, the crew members couldn't help but applaud and cheer, and Jack the Cataclysm's pirates fled in a flash.

"Captain, we've spotted several pirate ships over there," the boatswain said, pointing to the other side of the island.

The boatswain saw that the battle here had ended and was afraid that there were still pirates hiding nearby, so he went to check and found several ships anchored on the right side of the island. It turns out that Insect Island has two ports.

“There are a few pirate ships, let’s go take a look.” Martin then walked towards the other side.

Martin descended the mountain and arrived at the harbor. Several pirate ships were drifting on the sea, one of which was Jack's flagship, the Mammoth.

"Bang bang bang!"

Martin and his group quickly boarded the Mammoth. To their surprise, there wasn't a single person on such a large ship as the Mammoth. Jack and his crew were too confident and hadn't left anyone on board to guard the ship.

You can't blame them. The wine on Insect Island is so delicious that not a single pirate wanted to stay. In the end, Jack had no choice but to give up on keeping people there. He didn't believe anyone would dare to mess with him.

"Captain, there's nothing on board except for this food and water," the boatswain said as he emerged from the cabin.

"The people on this ship are really poor. I didn't see a single Berry, and this is all I found in the end."

The boatswain took out the two permanent record pointers.

"Permanent record pointer!" Martin exclaimed, and the pointer was taken from the other person's hand.

One pointer reads "Fine Wine Island," while the other has no markings at all, but bears the flag of the Beasts Pirates.

"Could this be the pointer to the Beasts Pirates' permanent base island?" Martin couldn't help but think. He still didn't know which island was the Beasts Pirates' base.

"Let's go back!"

As Martin walked back up the mountain, he thought to himself. The people of Insect Island had just broken free from the control of the Beast Pirates and had a lot to do.

"Smoothie, here you go!"

"Captain, where is this pointer?" Smoothie asked, looking at the pointer which had no markings.

"I don't know either. It might be the pointer to the Beasts Pirates' headquarters. Let's go check it out," Martin said excitedly.

“The Beasts Pirates’ captain is one of the Five Emperors. Charlotte Linlin wasn’t there when they went to Thousand Island last time. Won’t it be too dangerous this time?” Smoothie asked worriedly.

"It's alright. Even if we can't beat them, we can't run away. Once we get there, you stay behind on the Little Harem ship so you can come to our aid if anything happens."

Smoothie and the boatswain nodded helplessly at Martin's words. She had no way to deal with her captain and could only start the Little Harem and head forward in the direction of the pointer.

It's true what they say, "A woman follows her husband wherever he goes, even if she marries a chicken or a dog; but she married a powerful man who's always begging for money!"

Chapter 216 Encountering Thor Again

The Little Harem cut through the waves, speeding across the raging seas of the New World. This time, the Little Harem was running at full power, and Martin was determined to reach the unfamiliar island as quickly as possible, fearing that if he was too late, the Beast Pirates would be prepared, since Jack must have left a life paper in the crew after his death.

After a high-speed journey and experiencing various harsh weather conditions in the New World, Martin and his group were greeted by blue skies and white clouds, which Martin knew indicated the presence of nearby islands.

Has Smoothie deviated from the course?

“There’s no captain. The pointer is pointing straight ahead, so we should be at the destination,” Smoothie said after checking the pointer.
