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

Zeus, however, felt there was something wrong with what he said.

Am I even a thing?

Zeus was completely bewildered.

"What do you care if I'm a thing or not? Hurry up and create lightning for me! I want to eat delicious lightning!"

Enel looked at the messy thunderclouds and felt that this thing's intelligence was questionable.

"Get out of my way and don't bother me!"

Enel instantly transformed into his elemental form and flew far away to continue his boring activity of fighting minions.

"Damn it! How dare you refuse to give me lightning? I am Zeus, the god of thunder! Accept your punishment!"

Zeus flew to Enel's side and shouted at him. The already dark clouds became even darker, and lightning flashed within them.

"Lightning and thunder!"

A massive amount of lightning struck Enel down, engulfing him entirely in its power.

"Zeus, the god of thunder! I am the god of thunder!" Enel shouted angrily at Zeus, ignoring the lightning striking him.

"100,000 volts!"

"boom!"

Enraged, Enel unleashed a powerful bolt of lightning.

The massive bolt of lightning struck Zeus's dark cloud directly, punching a hole in its body, though the hole was quickly repaired.

"Delicious, delicious, really delicious, even better than before!" Zeus licked his lips excitedly.

Enel, bathed in lightning, was enraged to see that his lightning was completely ineffective and had even turned him into food.

"Hmph! Not only can you eat lightning, I can too," Enel said, absorbing the lightning around him into his body.

"Ok!"

After absorbing Zeus's lightning, Enel discovered that his Devil Fruit ability had actually improved slightly. Could it be that this guy's lightning could accelerate the development of my Devil Fruit ability?

"Damn it, it stopped again! Keep unleashing lightning!" Zeus yelled at Enel again.

Seeing that Enel still didn't react, Zeus's body flashed, and bolts of lightning struck Enel once again.

And so they continued to exchange electricity, one absorbing electricity while the other absorbed it. Enel felt that his Devil Fruit powers had improved a lot, while Zeus turned into a dog. No matter which direction Enel released electricity, Zeus would run over to catch the lightning and then collect it and return it to Enel.

"Prometheus, Zeus, come to me quickly!"

Zeus, who was having a great time playing, suddenly heard his mother calling him.

"boom!"

Enel unleashed lightning once more, but this time it wasn't caught and struck a henchman directly. The henchman's hair stood on end, and he fainted, his body billowing black smoke.

Enel paused for a moment, then ignored Zeus and continued sweeping away the Donquixote Family's minions.

Zeus sensed his mother's direction and looked at the lightning flying all over the sky. For the first time, he did not immediately respond to his mother's call and joined the ranks of those vying for the lightning.

The dust settled again on the flower field, and Charlotte Linlin smiled as she looked ahead, very satisfied with her attack. The ground had been lowered by several meters, and she believed that Martin should be dead.

The scene that appeared before her eyes, however, greatly disappointed her.

"Impossible, this is impossible! What kind of monster are you? How could such an attack not hurt you?" Charlotte Linlin exclaimed in surprise as she looked at Martin, who was once again completely unharmed.

"Hehehe, what kind of monster am I? I'm a normal human being. You had a good time just now, now it's my turn to attack." Martin pushed off the ground with his left foot and charged towards Charlotte Linlin.

"Golden Overlord - Super Iron Fist!"

Martin lunged forward, crashing into Charlotte Linlin's arms. He placed his hand on Charlotte Linlin's body, and golden Haki was rapidly unleashed with each punch. Facing an opponent with a resilient physique, Martin dared not be careless and used his full strength from the very first move.

"Bang bang bang!"

Several dull thuds echoed from Charlotte Lingling's body, and she began to stagger backward.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!... Boom!"

Charlotte Linlin took several steps back and then plopped down on the ground.

"What happened? There's another earthquake!"

Beneath the flower field, Gancho was enthusiastically discussing with Cyrus, constantly considering various possibilities and refining the rescue plan, when suddenly the earth shook even more violently. This time the shaking was more intense than the previous ones, and cracks appeared in the walls of the underground base.

"What's going on? I've lived in Dressrosa for many years and have never experienced an earthquake before. Why is the earth shaking so frequently today?" Cyrus, now a toy soldier, asked.

“Let’s discuss this somewhere else. I think this base could collapse at any moment. What’s wrong with Vika? She’s been out scouting for so long, why hasn’t she come back yet?” Gan Qiao said worriedly.

"Your Majesty Gancho, you take your men and go first. I'll go out and take a look, and while I'm at it, I'll look for Vika," Cyrus said, jumping up and down a few times.

"Then I'll have to trouble you!"

Ganqiao then led the human warriors in a retreat through the underground passage.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Charlotte Linlin sat on the ground, coughing incessantly, and then blood flowed from her mouth.

Charlotte Linlin touched her mouth and looked at the bright red blood on her hand. She was horrified. Her tough body had actually been injured. This body was her reliance for conquering the world, and now it had been breached.

"Mom! You were looking for me!" Prometheus flew down from the sky and landed next to Charlotte Linlin.

"Prometheus, why are you alone? Where's Zeus?! Why hasn't that bastard come yet?!"

Charlotte Linlin noticed that only Prometheus, the sun, had arrived, while Zeus, the thundercloud, had not.

“Mother didn’t know either. I was absorbing sunlight in the palace when I heard your summons and came here,” Prometheus explained as he saw Charlotte Linlin getting angry.

“Fine, you’re enough.” Charlotte Linlin stood up from the ground, grabbing Prometheus with one hand and carrying Napoleon with the other.

"Mom, you're hurt! Who was the bastard who hurt you? I'm going to roast him!"

Upon seeing blood trickling from Charlotte Linlin's lips, Prometheus immediately flew into a rage. His body, which was originally a fireball, grew much larger, radiating flames and appearing ready to incinerate everything.

"It was you, it was you who hurt Mom, wasn't it?" Prometheus looked down and saw Martin standing in front of Charlotte Linlin, and angrily shouted at Martin.

Before Martin could reply, Prometheus opened its mouth and spewed out a pillar of fire.

"Flame Jet!"

The pillar of fire spewed by Prometheus rushed directly towards Martin, engulfing him completely.

Martin looked at the pillar of fire shooting towards him and dodged to the side to avoid the attack.

However, Prometheus's pillar of fire, like a whip, could be controlled and swung in the air, no matter which direction Martin dodged, the pillar of fire would deflect in that direction.

Martin leaped and dodged, while the pillar of fire spewed by Prometheus, carrying intense heat, swayed incessantly near him.

Suddenly Martin stopped. He realized that he didn't need to dodge such an attack at all. His golden aura was impervious to water and fire, and unharmed by lightning. There was no need for him to be afraid of this fire.

"boom!"

Seeing Martin suddenly freeze in place, Prometheus immediately seized the opportunity and spewed a pillar of fire from his mouth, which struck Martin and caused him to burst into flames.

"Hahaha, how dare you hurt your mother! Now you're burning to death! Mother, look, I've avenged you!" Prometheus said to Charlotte Linlin, boasting as he looked at Martin engulfed in flames.

Doflamingo and his crew were stunned. They never expected Charlotte Linlin to have such a fighting partner, whose abilities were almost on par with those of Logia-type Devil Fruit users.

He originally thought that as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, even if there was a gap between him and the Five Emperors, it wouldn't be too big. Now he realized that he was really arrogant and that his family's strength was no match for the Five Emperors.

The thought of Charlotte Linlin pressuring him to marry her after Martin's defeat still made Doflamingo tremble.

Enel and his crew, on the other hand, were completely unconcerned about Martin being surrounded by flames. Their captain had survived being bombarded by lightning on Thunder Island unscathed, so they believed that if lightning couldn't harm their captain, flames certainly couldn't either.

Sure enough, under Enel's watchful eyes, the flames slowly died down, and Martin reappeared before everyone's eyes, looking exactly the same as before, completely unharmed without a single trace of being burned.

"Mom, what kind of monster is this? It's not afraid of fire!" Prometheus looked at Martin with a terrified gaze and asked with a trembling mouth.

"Damn it! I refuse to believe I can't hurt you."

Charlotte Lingling finished speaking and raised Napoleon in her hand again.

"Emperor's Sword - Shattering Blade!"

Charlotte Linlin wrapped Napoleon with the power of Prometheus's flames, making him appear as a giant fire blade, and then slashed fiercely at Martin's head.

"clang!"

A crisp clang rang out as Napoleon swung his sword at Martin's head. Martin didn't dodge at all, appearing as if he was letting Charlotte Linlin kill him.

"Hahaha, you idiot, how dare you be so arrogant! Do you really think you're invincible? I'll kill you this time!"

Charlotte Linlin laughed happily when she saw her Napoleon strike Martin. Although her move didn't seem as imposing as Elbaf Spear of the Kingdom, it was her most powerful sword technique.

"Ouch! Ouch! Mommy, it hurts so much!"

Before Charlotte Linlin could finish celebrating, she heard her Napoleon shout.

Then something even more unbelievable happened to her. Napoleon, who had been shouting, suddenly stopped. Charlotte Linlin could easily sense that Napoleon, whom she had given a soul to, had lost his soul and died, and had turned into a bicorn hat.

"Damn it, damn it, you bastard, you actually killed Napoleon!" Charlotte Linlin waved her bicorn hat and cursed at Martin.

Martin looked at the crazed Charlotte Linlin, who had just been struck directly by Napoleon's Zanpakuto.

Yes, in that instant, he used Bankai.

Golden domineering energy actually adhered to the blade, and a counterforce was reflected back, the force of which directly shattered Napoleon's soul.

"I'm getting a sore throat!"

Charlotte Linlin grabbed Prometheus, then leaped high into the air, using her superhuman strength to hurl him at Martin. Flames erupted from Prometheus's body, crashing down on Martin.

Prometheus, flying through the air, wore a vicious expression as he watched Martin crash into him at high speed.

Martin looked at the massive fireball hurtling towards him, his eyes showing no fear, but rather a look of longing. He had inadvertently killed Napoleon earlier, and now Prometheus charging towards him would be a perfect opportunity for him to test whether his attack, imbued with golden domineering energy, could kill these pseudo-lifeforms.

Prometheus glared, his mouth agape, charging fiercely toward Martin. Suddenly, he noticed Martin's eyes, eyes that were completely different from those of the enemies he had faced before. His former enemies had looked at him with fear and dread, but Martin's eyes held a longing and anticipation.

A scene suddenly flashed through Prometheus's mind: his mother's powerful strike, the one imbued with his own flames, capable of cleaving mountains and splitting rocks with ease, yet Napoleon died, his death shrouded in mystery. Could it be...?

Prometheus dared not imagine, much less be certain of his own thoughts, but he knew that as a sun, a living sun, he had not yet lived enough.

"Gigantify!"

Thinking of this, Prometheus immediately activated his skill, and his body changed from a two-meter-sized sphere to the size of half an island. Not only did it grow larger, but the flames also became more intense.

"Hahaha! Prometheus, you really know how to fight better than that bastard Zeus. Now let's see where Martin can run."

Charlotte Linlin laughed loudly as she looked at the enlarged Prometheus, thinking that Prometheus had enlarged himself because he was afraid Martin would dodge.
