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

As Sengoku was stroking his beard, deep in thought, he was suddenly startled by the officer. His hand slipped, and several hairs of his beard were pulled out, causing him great pain and making his mouth twist in pain.

"Get out! Have you no manners at all? We are the military, and this is the office of the highest-ranking officer in the Navy."

"It's the Marshal!"

The sergeant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and retreated. He remembered that he had been in a similar situation before, when the marshal had also pointed at him and reprimanded him. He thought to himself, "It's all because the news in the newspapers was so shocking, otherwise I wouldn't have forgotten the rules."

"report!"

Zhan Guo sat up straight, raised his report stand towards the door, and said, "Come in!"

"Snapped!"

The office door opened again, and the sergeant strode in.

"Marshal, here's today's newspaper!" The sergeant handed over the newspaper.

Zhan Guo's forehead veins bulged. This bastard barged in like a whirlwind, causing him to pluck out several of his beard hairs, all just to deliver a newspaper to him.

When the sergeant saw his words and Sengoku's imposing gaze, he thought he had done something wrong again. Although he was apprehensive, he dared not move, fearing that his mistake would be magnified.

"You bastard, Ming..."

"Oh no, the Marshal is furious. I thought I'd get a promotion if I showed him this newspaper, but I ended up losing more than I gained. I should have had someone else deliver it to me," the sergeant said, immediately filled with regret when he heard Sengoku scold him.

Just as Zhan Guo was about to start cursing at the sergeant, he suddenly saw the large characters and headline on the newspaper in the sergeant's hand, which made him stop talking.

"The New Five Emperors!"

What's going on? The New Five Emperors newspaper actually dared to use this headline.

"Snapped!"

Sengoku snatched the newspaper from the officer's hand and began to read it. The newspaper reported that in the Battle of Dressrosa, former Fifth Emperor Charlotte Linlin had died, along with Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Sengoku looked at the newspaper, feeling both excited and scared. He was excited because two menacing men were gone from the seas, especially Doflamingo. He had been extremely unwilling to let the World Government make him a Shichibukai, but now that man was dead.

What frightened him was that the Navy's intelligence agencies had not received any information about such a significant event, and he was actually relying on newspapers for intelligence.

The sergeant watched Sengoku remain silent, his fear growing stronger. Large beads of cold sweat poured from his forehead, but he dared not wipe them away out of respect for protocol, making him extremely uncomfortable.

When Sengoku looked up, he saw that the officer was still there, but it seemed that he had frightened him quite a bit. Thinking about how he had just wanted him to clean the toilets, he couldn't help but feel a little apologetic.

"You bastard, report to the intelligence department tomorrow. From now on, send me any important intelligence immediately."

"It's the Marshal!"

The sergeant didn't hear Sengoku's words at all; he just wanted to leave the office as soon as possible.

Just as the sergeant was about to turn and leave, he suddenly remembered what Sengoku had just said. The intelligence section was a directly subordinate agency, reporting directly to the marshal, and was much more important than his original liaison section.

"Marshal, you want me to go to the intelligence section? Did I hear that right? I thought you wanted me to sweep the streets!" the sergeant said in disbelief.

"What, you want to sweep the streets? Then I'll arrange for you to do it!" Zhan Guo glared at the officer.

"No, no, Marshal, I'll go report to the intelligence section right now!" The sergeant slowly backed away, then ran out as if fleeing.

"Hahaha! I knew it, I knew Martin was up to something, but I didn't expect him to pull off two things at once. What has he been doing all these years?"

Zhan Guo closed the door and kept shouting in his office.

Mary Geoise, however, presented a different picture. The Five Elders were locked in their offices, their brows furrowed, looking at the newspapers on their desks with unhappy expressions.

"What do you think we should do? We finally managed to let the pirates grow stronger and weaken the Navy, but then one of the Five Emperors died. The pirates are a bunch of useless trash. We've tried so hard to restrict and control the Navy, but we still can't do anything to them."

"Over the years, we've been using the method of slowly boiling a frog in water to gradually weaken the navy's strength and reclaim its rights. We were on the verge of success when this happened!"

The Five Elders couldn't help but recall the past. Although the Navy was an armed organization under the World Government, it had long been largely autonomous, and the World Government's highest combat power was mostly in the Navy, which made the Five Elders very wary.

So they put their heads together and began a plan targeting the Navy. The plan was very successful. First, they cut off the Navy's talent pool by recruiting talented people into the CP organization. Then, they transferred powerful people from their posts. Former Fleet Admiral Kong was promoted in name only but demoted in reality. He is now protecting the Dragon People in Mary Geoise. Next, they infiltrated the Navy and brought over the Navy's high-end combat power. To avoid being discovered by the Navy, they were always very careful. Just when they were about to completely control the Navy, one of the Five Emperors died. This gave the Navy a chance to breathe, recover its strength, adjust its deployment, and escape their control again.

"Dudududu!"

Just as the Five Elders were discussing how to deal with the Navy, a Den Den Mushi rang. They had placed this Den Den Mushi in a very conspicuous place so that they would know as soon as there was any movement.

The five elders immediately surrounded him and then answered the phone.

"Lord Im, what are your orders?"

"Yes, Lord Im! We know what to do!"

Marineford.

"Sengoku, I am one of the Five Elders. Send someone to Dressrosa and bring Doflamingo's body back to Mary Geoise!"

"Five Elders, would you like a corpse?"

"This is an order from the Warring States period; you don't need to know what to do."

"It is the Five Elders. I will arrange for someone to go there immediately."

The Beasts Pirates' base.

Kaido is exceptionally tyrannical these days, attacking anyone he sees, which has made his subordinates afraid to approach him.

"Damn it, damn it, glug glug!" Kaido cursed as he took a few sips from his gourd and then picked up a newspaper to read.

Kaido's death at the hands of Charlotte Linlin is truly bad news. He and Charlotte Linlin came from the same pirate crew, had a decent relationship, and were both among the Five Emperors of the New World, forming an alliance. Now that one of them is gone, he will have to face many dangers alone in the future.

"Damn it, how did Charlotte Linlin die? I don't believe Martin killed her! I have to get to Les Rosa right now, or that kid will get away again!"

Kaido vanished from the base in a flash.

The Beasts Pirates had gotten used to it; no one cared where Kaido had gone. They were all relaxed and carefree, finally free from having to worry about their captain's mood or being killed by Kaido for no reason.

Chapter 227 The Navy is in shock, Kaido is enraged

"Gulalalala! Gulalalala!"

"Dad, what's so funny?"

On the Moby Dick, Whitebeard suddenly burst into laughter. Marco, seeing his father laughing for no reason, quickly asked what was wrong, as he had never seen Whitebeard laugh so heartily before.

"Look for yourself, Marco. You all need to train hard, or you'll be outdone by others. My son, Whitebeard, is the best."

Since Whitebeard regained his health, his thoughts have changed. He used to hope that his family could live happily, but now he hopes that his son will become successful and make a name for himself on the high seas. Even though his son is already a powerful figure on the seas in the eyes of others, after seeing Martin's achievements, he feels that this is not enough. How can his son be inferior to others? His son must be the best.

"What's this!"

Marco took the newspaper from Whitebeard and then stared at it intently.

"New Five Emperors? Has the Five Emperors been changed? How come I didn't know!"

"Martin, it's him!"

"How is this possible?"

"How could he possibly kill Charlotte Linlin? Is there a mistake in the newspaper? Wait, the author is Morgans, the editor of the World Economic Herald. Could this be true?!"

"Dad, is this for real? Does Martin really have that ability?"

"That's right! Marco's matter is probably true. There's something I haven't told you guys yet. When I competed with Martin, I even broke through the reef, but I still couldn't break through Martin's defense. Actually, I lost!"

"How is this possible? Dad, you are the world's strongest man. Your devastating attack couldn't even break through Martin's defense. Just how monstrous is Martin?!"

Marco was stunned by Whitebeard's words, wondering if he was living in a dream.

"So Marco, get your brothers moving. Don't let yourselves become complacent just because you're Whitebeard's sons. I hope that in the future, your legends will be known on the high seas, not just as 'You see, this is Whitebeard's son.'"

Marco was taken aback by Whitebeard's words, then clenched his fist and said to Whitebeard, "Understood, Father!"

A newspaper article led to a major training exercise for the Whitebeard Pirates, resulting in a significant improvement in the strength of all its members.

"How is this possible, this..."

On the Red Fox, Shanks, the Red-Haired, also exclaimed in surprise. With his captain's prophecy in mind, he had been living quite comfortably for the past few years, with everything under control and nothing bothering him.

"What happened to the captain?"

Upon hearing his captain's outburst, Beckman immediately went to his side and asked what was wrong.

Shanks handed the newspaper to Beckman.

"The new Five Emperors, why would they use such a title... Charlotte Linlin is dead? This is unbelievable. The Big Mom Pirates are so strong, how could Charlotte Linlin be killed? Good heavens, it was this person. Captain, it seems we've missed something."

Shanks nodded. He had a strong impression of Martin from his previous encounters with him, and he wasn't surprised that he eventually became one of the Five Emperors. But now that he had killed Charlotte Linlin, it all felt like a dream.

He was an unknown person, but after a chance encounter, the other person's growth path was simply incredible.

"Captain! Captain!"

Beckman nudged Shanks, realizing that his captain had actually been daydreaming.

"Nothing Beckman."

Shanks turned his head away. There were some things he could only know himself. It wasn't that he didn't trust Beckman, but that he couldn't tell anyone else.

"Let's go, Beckman. I'm heading to the East Blue. It's been so long since I've seen Luffy's house. Let's go see him in the East Blue."

"Okay, Captain, you don't want to see Makino, do you? What's so interesting about Luffy?" Beckman joked.

"Hahaha, hahaha, Beckman, how is that possible!"

……

The Dragon Palace was brightly decorated, and the entire school of fish was in a festive atmosphere. With Martin becoming one of the Five Emperors, no one dared to mess with the school of fish. The pirates who came to the school of fish were all well-behaved, as if they were just tourists visiting the school of fish.

Since the fish population pattern was changed, the fish population has been thriving. Originally, the fish population was only inhabited by pirates, but now more and more merchants are coming to the fish population, and a person who is interested in the fish population is also coming to the fish population for tourism on a merchant ship.

The fact that so many people are coming to the fish school is thanks not only to the change in the model, but also to a road, a high-speed passage connecting the Sabaody Archipelago and the fish school. When Martin was modifying the fish school, he specially built a highway for the fish school, a passage made of giant bubble membrane. This passage avoids most of the dangers and makes it easier for ships departing from the Sabaody Archipelago to reach the seabed fish school.

Lili Island.

"Captain, it's so lively here, it looks so rich. What do you think? Let's rob this place. As long as we take this place, we can go to Water Seven to build a new ship and then we can go to the New World."

Upon hearing his subordinate's suggestion, the captain revealed a greedy look in his eyes, as if a vast amount of Berries were beckoning to him.

"We've taken this island from the ground!"

"Kill them!"

"Hand over all the treasure."

"Hahaha!"

"hehe!"
