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

"Conqueror's Haki! Damn it, how could I have forgotten about that?"

Just when success seemed imminent, Martin suddenly used Conqueror's Haki to knock Sugar unconscious, leaving Doflamingo dumbfounded.

"You're really funny, trying to use such a trick on me. You really underestimate me," Martin sneered.

Martin's Observation Haki was constantly monitoring his surroundings; he sensed Sugar even before she got close.

Originally, I wanted to end this farce as soon as possible, but then I thought it wouldn't hurt to tease Doflamingo, so I started to inquire about Doflamingo's secrets.

Sugar's Devil Fruit ability is terrifying, but she herself is too weak; she's just a little girl. Martin only needs to be on guard against her.

"Alright, the game's over. I'll send you on your way sooner rather than later." Martin then lifted his leg again.

"Wait, you really don't want to know the secret of the dragon people? That's the power that can rule the world. I was trying to distract you just now, but I really do know the secret of the dragon people."

Seeing that Martin hesitated, Doflamingo immediately said again, "If you let me go, I'll tell you this secret."

"The secret of the dragon people, the power to rule the world, do you think I would believe that? Although you used to be a dragon person, you were only a few years old when you left. If you have something so powerful, why don't you do it yourself? Didn't you want to kill all the dragon people? Why don't you do it yourself?"

"You, you, how do you know I used to be a dragon? Who are you? This is a secret that even the World Government doesn't know. Only the Five Elders and a few dragons know about it."

Doflamingo stared at Martin with a horrified look. Now he was truly afraid. This Martin actually knew such a secret. Did he already know the secret of the Dragon People and therefore have no interest in it?

"The Five Elders want to kill me, don't they! Do they not want that thing anymore and are they planning to give up?"

Martin watched Doflamingo mutter to himself, saying some incomprehensible things, and shook his head. It seemed that he had completely broken down and there was no need to continue the conversation. He put his foot down and then lifted it up again.

"You can't kill me. I am Kaido's representative in the dark forces."

Doflamingo, who had just been stunned, sensed Martin's rising aura and immediately spoke up. This was his last chance, and he hoped that Martin would be wary of Kaido and let him go.

"Oh!"

Doflamingo had just finished when Martin stomped him to death without hesitation. Doflamingo died without ever understanding why someone would be so reckless.

"Kaido, don't you know that I've already offended Kaido to death? He's searching the whole world for me right now. So what if he's Kaido? He's just another Yonko. I even killed Charlotte Linlin, why would I be afraid of him?"

Martin spoke to Doflamingo's corpse, and as if Doflamingo on the ground could hear him, the corpse twitched a few more times before falling completely silent.

"Ok!"

As Martin was about to leave, he suddenly felt a faint sense of being watched, as if he were being monitored by something. However, Martin activated his Observation Haki to its maximum and, after scanning the area, sensed nothing. Finally, he shook his head and left.

"Big news, big news! Following Charlotte Linlin really does lead to big news. It was worth spending so much time in Dressrosa."

Morgans flew along, shouting excitedly. The news he had just received was a world-shaking story: the deaths of a Yonko and a Shichibukai were enough to make the news agency remember the world once again.

However, Morgans felt a wave of fear. He hadn't expected Martin's senses to be so powerful. He had only been excited and slightly let his aura slip out, yet Martin had sensed it and used Observation Haki to scan him. Luckily, he had disguised himself as a bird, or he would have been in big trouble.

……

On Dressrosa Island, due to Sugar's coma, the toys regained their freedom and transformed back into individuals, with fragments of lost memories resurfacing in their minds.

Many broken families are reunited, but many tragedies also occur. The person who is turned into a toy by Sugar will have all his memories erased from people's memories. During this period of memory loss, many people remarry, which throws the whole of Dressrosa into chaos.

Of course, many more people obtained everything about the Don Quixote family from the toys that turned back into humans, and learned the truth. Anti-Don Quixote family marches quietly formed in the streets, and more and more people gathered together.

.........

"Soldier, soldier, are you alright?!"

Vika shouted and pushed Cyrus off her. Just as the fire was dying down, Cyrus found Vika and covered her with his body, preventing her from being burned.

“I’m fine, Vika.”

Cyrus stood up. Although he had been turned into a toy, making him unrecognizable to everyone and losing his former strength, the power of the Devil Fruit protected him at all times, allowing him to remain in this form without fear of being hurt. Even if he suffered any damage, he would recover immediately.

Sure enough, while Cyrus was speaking, his back, which had been burned, was restored and became like a new toy, with no trace of the fire.

"Let's hurry, Vika! This place is terrifying. I wonder who's fighting here. But this is good news for us; it seems the Donquixote Family is in trouble!"

Cyrus jumped up and leaped away into the distance, and Vika quickly followed.

"Soldier, soldier, what's wrong with you!" Vika, who was following Cyrus, suddenly saw Cyrus grow larger and eventually become a person. She asked in surprise.

"What's wrong with me!"

Cyrus realized something was wrong as soon as he opened his mouth; his tone of voice had changed, it was no longer the same as when he was a toy, a voice he hadn't heard in a long time.

Cyrus stretched out his hands in disbelief. These were human hands. I had recovered. I was human again.

"Hahaha, I've turned into a human again! I was right, the Donquixote family is indeed in big trouble!"

“Soldier, soldier, how did you turn into a human? You, you, you are Cyrus! I know you. You are the commander of the army of King Riku,” Vika said after seeing Cyrus’s appearance clearly. She used to see Cyrus leading patrols when she played in the city.

"Cyrus, how long has it been since I last heard that name? Ever since I was turned into a toy, it seems like the whole world has forgotten me, not even my own daughter remembers me," Cyrus said from the bottom of his heart when he heard Vika call him that.

"Let's go, Vika, His Majesty the Kingdom is still waiting for us!"

.....................

"Mommy mommy!"

Snag finally arrived at the flower field, but what he saw was Charlotte Linlin lying on the ground, unable to get up.

"Katakuri, Mom is dead!"

"So that's how it is? I understand. Snag, I'm giving you a task now: take your younger siblings and leave Dressrosa. Get back to Whole Cake Island as soon as possible. I think we're about to be in trouble!"

"Katakuri, are we not going to avenge Mom? Martin is right here. I don't know what tricks he used to kill Mom, but I want to avenge her!"

"Alright, Snag, let's go back to Treasure Country and bring back Mother's body!"

"Dudududu!"

Katakuri had barely finished speaking when Snack hung up the Den Den Mushi. "Damn it, that bastard Snack! Does he want to kill my siblings in Dressrosa? Does he want to destroy the Big Mom Pirates?"

After shouting, Katakuri paced anxiously back and forth, trying to figure out how to solve the problem.

"Martin, where is Martin! I'm going to kill him! I'm going to avenge my mother!"

Snag raised his sword and shouted at the sky.

"Snag, what do you want? You promised Katakuri that you wouldn't cause trouble for Martin, that's why I let you in!"

"Smoothie, didn't you see? Martin killed our mother! The murder of our mother is an unforgivable crime, I'm going to kill Martin!"

"Snag, I won't allow you to do that!"

Smoothie drew her sword and once again stood in front of Snag.

“Smoothie, you actually helped the man who killed your mother! I’ll kill you first, then I’ll kill Martin!” Snag shouted, slashing down with his sword.

“The hatred of killing my mother? Snag, don’t be ridiculous. Ever since she killed my father and kept getting married and having children, I haven’t treated her as my mother. And we are not her children. We are just the species she needs,” Smoothie sneered.

"Clang clang clang!"

Snag and Smoothie's swords clashed repeatedly in the air. The two were evenly matched in strength and swordsmanship, and for a time they fought fiercely and evenly.

Martin, carrying sugar in one hand and standing on a fireball, drifted slowly from the direction of the palace. As you might have guessed, the fireball beneath his feet was Prometheus.

As Martin was preparing to leave, he discovered that the Homie was hiding at the highest point of the kingdom, trembling with fear. He went up to it and asked, "How about you join me from now on?" To his surprise, the fireball agreed without hesitation. This made Martin extremely happy. He had been incredibly envious when he saw that idiot Enel subdue Zeus, but now he had obtained a similar Prometheus.

The two combatants in the flower field suddenly saw a dark shadow floating on the ground. They jumped back to wary of each other, and then looked up to see that it was Martin riding his mother's Prometheus back.

Smoothie was thrilled to see Martin subdue Prometheus. The man she had chosen was indeed omnipotent, even able to subdue the Homies created by her mother.

"Martin, I'm going to kill you!"

Snag then abandoned Smoothie, gripped his sword, and charged toward Martin.

"What's going on?!"

Martin never imagined that someone would want to kill him as soon as he returned.

"So it was Consul General Snag. It seems Smoothie couldn't stop him. Perfect, I can test the power of Prometheus!"

Martin then grabbed Prometheus, and gold appeared along with his energy. He channeled his golden aura into Prometheus's body, causing Prometheus's flames to surge violently.

"Kill him, Prometheus!"

Chapter 225 Pet Prometheus

"Flame Jet!"

Prometheus opened his mouth, and a thick pillar of fire shot out from it, heading straight for Snag.

Snag saw the pillar of fire aimed at him but did not dodge. He was very familiar with Prometheus's moves. He had often sparred with Prometheus before, and such flames could not possibly harm him.

"Shh!"

Snag casually swung his sword, the blade carrying a sharp aura, straight at the pillar of fire, intending to shatter it. He had done this before, and it had never failed. Not only did he slash, but he also sneered, mocking Martin for so blatantly underestimating him.

"Oh!"

Snag struck the pillar of fire with a sword imbued with sword energy, but soon realized something was wrong. The size of the pillar of fire looked about the same as the one his mother had created, but the strength of the pillar of fire was worlds apart. His sword strike had not been able to break the pillar of fire apart; it had only managed to cut a small opening at the front end.

"boom!"

Prometheus's pillar of fire continued its momentum, striking Snag directly in the chest and knocking the longsword out of his hand.

"Haha, not bad, not bad!"

Martin smiled and patted Prometheus, who, like a pet, enjoyed Martin's caresses and praise.

"puff!"

Snag lay on the ground, black smoke billowing from his mouth. He never dreamed that Prometheus, this Homie, would be so powerful in Martin's hands.

"Snapped!"

Martin descended from the sky and came to Snag. The one attacking him was the enemy, and the enemy had to be eliminated. Martin slowly approached.

"Dudududu!"

A Den Den Mushi (snail phone) rang out. Martin turned his head and glanced at it. There was a Den Den Mushi on the ground, ringing incessantly.

Martin stopped and picked up the Den Den Mushi from the ground. To be honest, the Den Den Mushi's vitality was terrifying. Even after such a fierce battle, which left the earth scarred, this Den Den Mushi was still able to function normally.

"Snag, bring your younger siblings back. I will not allow you to lay a hand on Martin!"

Martin had just answered the phone when he was met with a furious roar. The reason for the roar seemed to be himself. He couldn't believe that someone in the Big Mom Pirates would have such insight. Unfortunately, his order came a little too late.

"Answer me now, Snag! This is my order!"

“I’m sorry, Snag can’t answer you, and he can’t carry out your orders either, because he’s already attacked me!” Martin said to the Den Den Mushi.
