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

"Wait, did we feed your sister to the boat?"

Martin then realized that he had just given the sugar to the Harem, allowing Caesar to turn the sugar into a factory worker.

"Isn't that right! My poor Sugar, she was so small, not even enough to fill the monster's teeth, and you were so heartless as to feed her to the monster."

Monet was about to press the remote control again, looking like he was ready to die with her.

"So that's how it is. That wasn't a monster ship, and your sister wasn't fed to any monsters. That was just a Devil Fruit ability. Your sister is still alive!"

"real!"

Upon hearing that Martin's sister was still alive, Monet slightly moved his finger away from the remote control button.

"Of course, if you agree to join us and become my secretary, I'll reunite you sisters!"

"What do you think, honey?"

Upon hearing Martin's words, Monet began to hesitate, wondering if Martin was just making excuses to get him to abandon his idea of ​​dying together with Martin.

"Then you need to let me see your sister first. As long as I confirm that your sister is safe, I will agree to join you and be your secretary. It doesn't matter, since I used to be a secretary anyway."

Martin was surprised that Monet agreed so readily. He remembered that Monet was a die-hard fan of Doflamingo. Was it because Sugar was in Doflamingo's hands that Monet made that choice? Now that Sugar was in her own hands, she only cared about her sister and didn't care who she worked for.

"Is the contract signed yet? If it is, release the sugar for me!"

Martin turned and shouted at Caesar of the Harem.

The others were also wary of Monet, a Logia-type Devil Fruit user who wanted to take them down with him—just imagine how terrifying that would be.

"Big brother has already made the contract, I'll let her go up now."

A door on the Harem opened, and a girl stepped out of the ship.

The girl, Gao Xin, disembarked from the Harem Ship and saw Monet in the distance, shouting, "Sister, sister, look! I've grown up! I've finally grown up! I'm so happy that I'm starting to grow up again!"

Monet was stunned for a moment, but when she saw Sugar had grown taller, she was very happy. Tears welled up in her eyes. Ever since Sugar ate the Hobby Fruit, her body had remained the same as when she was ten years old, and her intelligence had not increased either.

"That's great, that's great, you're finally back to normal." Monet hugged Sugar tightly. Although Sugar had changed a lot, Monet still knew for sure that this was her sister, not someone else impersonating her.

"Now that you're sure Sugar's alright, shouldn't you remove the bomb from your body?"

“Of course!” Monet removed the bomb from his body and threw it aside.

"Thank you, thank you for letting Sugar grow up again. Ever since she ate the Hobby-Hobby Fruit, her mental age has remained that of a ten-year-old. I didn't know how to protect her. Then Doflamingo found us. He promised to protect us and Sugar from harm as long as we worked for him. Now Sugar can finally grow up again and protect herself. That's wonderful." Monet said to herself while holding Sugar.

“Once you’re on my ship, we’ll all protect Sugar from now on, right everyone?” Martin said to everyone.

"Yes, the captain is right. From now on, Sugar will be our little sister."

"Don't worry, we'll protect Sugar!"

"Get on board, we'll take Leo home!" Martin followed and boarded the Harem.

"Martin, don't go! I want to have your babies!"

"Martin, marry me!"

"Martin, pick me! Pick me! I'll take good care of you!"

.........

Just as Martin boarded the Harem, a group of women came running from the port streets, shouting slogans as they ran.

Smoothie frowned upon hearing the shouts; she recognized those voices all too well. "No, Martin is mine!"

Smoothie arrived first, jumped off the Harem, and rushed towards the group of women running towards her.

"Bang! Bang! Crash!"

Before long, Smoothie had finished cooking her group of sisters.

Monet's face darkened. No wonder Martin hadn't come to see him; he looked like a heartless man. It turned out he had too many women.

That's infuriating!

"Let's go!"

Martin quickly gave the order.

The Harem slowly retreated, then left the port of Les Rosa and headed towards Greenbite.

"Finally safe."

Cyrus breathed a sigh of relief after boarding Greenbite. The battle on Dressrosa Island was truly terrifying. Although he knew that someone was causing trouble for the Donquixote Family, he dared not linger there for too long, as the power of the Donquixote Family was still vivid in his mind.

"Your Majesty, let's wait until the situation becomes clearer before making any plans. Such a battle is simply beyond our ability to intervene in!"

Gancho nodded in agreement with Cyrus's words. He had also witnessed the power of the battle just now; even the aftershocks were something they could not withstand.

"Sergeant Cyrus, I invite you to be a guest of our human race!"

"Then I'll have to trouble Your Majesty Gancho!" Cyrus didn't stand on ceremony. Now that he had regained his human form, he didn't dare to go back to the island to check on things.

"Wait, Your Majesty, look what that is!"

Cyrus suddenly noticed a huge creature floating on the sea.

Before Cyrus and the group of people could see, the enormous creature that had drifted in from the sea finally came ashore. Suddenly, they noticed that a door had opened on the object, and then a group of people walked out of it.

Cyrus!

As soon as Martin stepped off the Harem, he saw a one-legged man standing on the island. He recognized the man at a glance: Cyrus, the son-in-law of King Riku.

"Ok!"

Cyrus heard the people who emerged from the giant creature call out his name. He tried to recall, but he did not recognize the group of people.

"Who are you people, and why have you come to this island?" Cyrus shouted, his body unnaturally adopting a defensive stance.

"Alright, don't be nervous. We're not enemies. We're just taking Leo home."

Seeing Cyrus's wariness of him, Martin quickly explained.

"Take Leo home!"

Cyrus was surprised that these people knew Leo and even claimed to be taking Leo home. He had just been discussing how to rescue Leo, and now someone was bringing Leo back. Could they be lying?

Leo is in the hands of the Don Quixote family.

Just as Cyrus was wondering, a man ran up from behind, "Grandpa Gancho, Grandpa Gancho, it's me, it's Leo."

"Leo, it really is Leo! You've been rescued! That's wonderful! I was just about to go and get you!"

Ganjoe saw Leo running past and exclaimed happily.

The rest of the Donta Donta Legion also surrounded Leo, asking him all sorts of questions. After learning that Leo had been taken to the Sabaody Archipelago, they all felt a wave of fear. If they hadn't met Martin, Leo would have been sold to who-knows-where by human traffickers.

"Hello, thank you for saving Leo. From today onwards, you are the benefactor of our human race. Please come to our Tontata Kingdom as a guest. We will treat our benefactor well!"

After a moment of joy, King Ganjo stepped forward and called out to Martin, inviting him to visit the human kingdom.

"Thank you so much! We were just wondering how you were doing. A friend asked me to check on you when I passed by!"

Martin happily accepted the invitation, and to further strengthen their relationship, he made up another reason.

"A friend asked you to come visit us. Could you tell me who your friend is?"

Ganjo was puzzled. How could anyone know that his clan lived here? They had been living in seclusion for a long time, and even in Dressrosa, not many people knew about them.

"Of course! His name is Wenbrand Kulik!"

"What is the relationship between Wenblank Kulik and Wenblank Rolando?" Upon hearing Martin mention a name, Ganjo was reminded of another benefactor of his human race, sharing the same surname, and immediately blurted out the question.

“Wenblam Kulik is a descendant of Wenblam Rolando. His ancestor always hoped that his descendants could come and see you, but since their ancestor Rolando died, he has not been able to come here. When I passed by Gaya Island this time, he asked me to come and see you when I came here.”

“So that’s how it is. I never thought our great benefactor Roland would still remember us. That’s wonderful! That’s wonderful! Our human race has never had the chance to repay his great kindness. Now that we know about his descendants, we will definitely repay them,” Ganjo said excitedly.

Cyrus stared in disbelief at Martin and Gancho. While humans were easy to deceive, gaining their complete trust was not so simple. He had spent a long time establishing a relationship with the humans, yet this man had become so close to them the moment he arrived on the island that the humans were completely ignoring him, their ally.

"This is terrifying, absolutely terrifying! This man is truly terrifying! Could it be that he really has no designs on the human race?!"

“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s hurry back to the Kingdom of Tata,” Ganjo led the way.

"Sergeant Cyrus, Sergeant Cyrus, hurry up and come with us to visit our kingdom!" Gancho called out as soon as he saw Cyrus standing there in a daze.

"Okay, I'm coming right away!" Cyrus hopped on one foot and caught up with Gancho and the others.

“Wait, Cyrus, I think you should go back to Dressrosa first. It’s in chaos there. I just killed Doflamingo and destroyed the Donquixote Family. There’s no need for anyone to lead the country. King Riku may be useless, but he’s good to his people. You could let him come out and rule here again.”

"what!"

Cyrus, who had just caught up with Martin, was stunned when he suddenly heard Martin's words.

"Killing Doflamingo and destroying the Donquixote Family, that requires immense strength. He wouldn't be lying to me, would he? Could it really be as I suspect, that he has designs on the human race and wants to get rid of me so he can take action against them!"

Cyrus looked up at Martin, who seemed indifferent. He could tell nothing from Martin's face, as if destroying the Don Quixote family was a trivial matter to him.

“My benefactor, is yours real?” Gan Qiao asked in disbelief.

"It really is Grandpa Ganjo! Captain Martin went to Dressrosa to kill that bastard Doflamingo in order to avenge me. The Donquixote Family members tried to stop us, but we defeated them all. Now there are no of their people left in Dressrosa!"

"It's actually true! That's wonderful! I'll go back to Dressrosa right now and rescue King Riku."

Hearing Leo's affirmative answer, Cyrus no longer hesitated and immediately turned back to Dressrosa. As for whether Martin had any designs on the human race, that was no longer important to him. The reason he valued the human race was simply to use their power to overthrow the Donquixote Family and rescue King Riku. Now that the Donquixote Family was finished, the power of the human race was no longer so important.

“Martin, wait, just now Leo called that young Captain Martin, the Demon Sword Martin, one of the Five Emperors, and he even killed Don Quixote.”

After leaving Greenbite, Cyrus remembered who Martin was. Unable to figure it out, Cyrus stopped thinking about it and quickly headed towards Dressrosa.

"Thank you, Martin. You not only saved Leo, but also helped us destroy the Donquixote Family, saving our human race from the suffering of our ancestors. Our ancestors suffered terribly under the rule of the Donquixote Family, and I thought we were going to repeat the same mistake. Thank you so much."

Gan Qiao recalled the clan's records, a dark era in which humanity suffered greatly.

"Your Majesty Ganqiao, you are too kind. Such a family should not exist in this world."

"Alright, no need, Captain Martin, please. We humans will treat you distinguished guests well!" Gan Qiao said, quickly walking into the forest.

Marineford

"Marshal! Marshal!"

"Oh!"

The door to the Warring States Office was suddenly pushed open, and an officer burst in with a newspaper in hand.

"what…!"
