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

"hey-hey!"

The people on Lili Island didn't stop to pay any attention to these people. They were all busy with their own business. They had encountered countless petty thieves like this on Jaya Island before. Ever since the pirates who dared to cause trouble on the island were killed and their names hung on the flagpole, no one had dared to do it for a long time. Moreover, they had just learned that Martin had killed Charlotte Linlin in the New World.

“It’s been a while since I’ve made a move, my hands are itching.” Jason appeared with his guards.

"You actually dare to rebel against the great Slaughtering Pirates? Do you want to be killed?"

"Hahaha, I really don't know where you got the courage to rob an island occupied by the Five Emperors!"

Django smiled and led his men slowly toward the pirate crew. Then, a few more people were hung on the mast that had been empty on Lili Island for a long time.

…………

Martin received a warm welcome from the humans, and King Ganjo even erected a new statue of Martin next to the one of Rolando.

Martin was unaware that the world was now in chaos, and his story had spread like wildfire across the globe, like an exploding nuclear bomb.

“Cyrus, let us go and meet the hero who rescued Dressrosa. I want to invite him to our kingdom so we can thank him properly.”

King Riku returned to his leadership position and easily gathered the original Riku army. However, unfortunately, by the time he arrived in Greenbit, Martin had already left.

"What a pity, he actually left." King Riku said disappointedly, having failed to catch Martin.

"Your Majesty, it's good that Martin and the others left. It would be troublesome if they ended up like Doflamingo!" Cyrus comforted him.

"Cyrus, I have learned a lesson from this incident: without strength, one cannot protect one's people."

King Riku recalled what happened back then: he was controlled by Doflamingo and personally raised his sword to kill his own warriors and people.

"So I'd like to try and win over Martin. A strongman who can kill Charlotte Linlin and Doflamingo is worth befriending and currying favor with!"

"Your Majesty, it is because I am not strong enough. I will work hard to cultivate in the future, so that no one can bully us."

Cyrus said through gritted teeth that he sympathized with King Riku's actions, as he himself was a victim, along with his wife and daughter.

"Cyrus, this isn't your fault. You're already very strong. It's just that the enemy is too powerful. You should spend more time with Rebecca; she's been through a lot lately!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will take good care of Rebecca, but I will not give up my cultivation. I must become a true powerhouse!"

"Martin, where are you? Get out here! Roar! Roar! Roar! Boom!"

Just as Cyrus finished speaking, a series of angry roars suddenly came from the ground, followed by a huge black shadow crashing down on Dressrosa, causing the entire city to shake violently.

"Boom! Boom!"

A tall man with two horns stood up from the ground.

"Martin, come out now, come out so I can kill you."

"Oh dear!"

Kaido realized that after he shouted, no one paid any attention to him. He looked around and saw that the place where he had landed was charred black, and there was no one around.

Kaido landed right in the same flower field where the battle had just taken place, and the flower field, which had just experienced a great battle, was once again subjected to merciless destruction.

"It's Kaido, the Five Emperors of the New World, Kaido of the Beasts!" Kyros exclaimed in terror.

King Riku was stunned. Dressrosa had been plagued by misfortune. Charlotte Linlin and Doflamingo had just been killed, and now Kaido, who was even more troublesome, had appeared. What was he to do?

"Martin, you coward, you don't even dare to come see me! Fine, very well, then I'll destroy this island!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Kaido took out his spiked club and started hitting it repeatedly, causing the ground of Dressrosa to shake violently. However, the ground did not seem to crack; it just kept shaking.

"Ok!"

Kaido stopped in disbelief. With his power to split mountains and shatter rocks, Dressrosa was completely unharmed, showing no signs of cracking or destruction, only covered in dust.

Unbeknownst to Kaido, Dressrosa was chosen by Doflamingo as his stronghold, and he had Pica use his Devil Fruit powers to reinforce the entire island. Although the surface looked similar to other islands, the interior had actually been greatly strengthened.

……

“I never expected the Marshal would arrange for me to come to Dressrosa with you,” Sakazuki said to Kuzan, who was also a general.

Kuzan never expected that Fleet Admiral Sengoku would give such an order, sending him to G5 base to pick up Sakazuki, and then to Dressrosa to bring back Doflamingo's body.

Kuzan had strongly insisted that he could complete such a simple task alone, without Sakazuki's help. However, Sengoku insisted on bringing Sakazuki along, since Doflamingo's body might be in Martin's hands. Martin was capable of killing both Charlotte Linlin and Doflamingo simultaneously, and regardless of how he did it, Kuzan had to take it seriously. In the end, Kuzan had no choice but to agree.

"boom!"

As the warship approached Dressrosa, Kuzan and Sakazuki suddenly heard a loud bang, and then they saw a giant standing up in the distance.

"It's Kaido! Kaido has come to Dressrosa too!"

Kuzan suddenly realized that his marshal was indeed a wise general. He was glad that he and Sakazuki had come together, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to handle it by himself.

“We should get there as soon as possible. If Kaido, that madman, does this, this country is finished. After all, it is a member state of the World Government.” Sakazuki said after exhaling a puff of smoke.

After saying that, Kuzan and Sakazuki each leaped into the air and rushed towards Dressrosa. The two of them flew faster than each other, as if they had entered a race mode.

"A massive fireball!"

"Frozen Moment!"

"boom!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Lava poured down from above, and the ground began to freeze rapidly. Although Sakazuki and Kuzan were sworn enemies, they were both admirals in the Navy, and their coordinated attack was quite smooth.

"Oh!"

Although his feet were frozen, it did not affect Kaido's hands. Kaido used his huge spiked club to deflect the magma emitted by Sakazuki.

"Kaido, this is a member state of the World Government. Please leave immediately!"

As soon as Sakazuki landed, he shouted at Kaido. It wasn't that he didn't want to uphold justice, but Kaido was simply too ridiculous. The World Government and the Navy had captured him many times, even sentencing him to death several times, but Kaido hadn't died. The World Government had wasted time, energy, and face, and he didn't want to waste time dealing with this trouble.

"Where's Martin! Where is Martin? Tell him to come out and see me!"

Kaido swung his spiked club once, smashing the ice on the ground to pieces.

"Martin, I didn't expect Kaido to come here looking for Martin." Kuzan thought to himself, glancing up at Kaido. He didn't want to waste his energy.

"Damn it! How dare you ignore me? Die, you damned navy!"

Kaido's spiked club swung towards Sakazuki and Kuzan.

"It's the navy! They seem to be admirals. The navy actually sent two admirals here! Now we in Dressrosa are saved!" Cyrus said happily to King Reiko after recognizing the newcomers.

"Excellent, excellent! Let's hurry over there and see if the generals need any help!" King Riku said to Cyrus.

Sakazuki and Kuzan sensed someone approaching and their expressions changed. Someone dared to get close to their battlefield; they were truly courting death.

"Haha, finally someone's here." Kaido also sensed the approaching people and jumped into the crowd.

"Where is Martin?" Kaido roared at King Riku and his group, swinging his spiked club.

“Martin, there’s no one here named Martin, and Martin isn’t here either.” King Riku was surprised that the visitor was looking for Martin and immediately replied.

"Martin's not here, so what are you all doing here? Die!"

Kaido swung his club, about to smash the group of people in front of him.

Yes, he was very angry.

His relationship with Lingling was ambiguous; they had even had a brief affair. No one expected that Lingling would die so tragically.

I'm so angry!

Chapter 228 Slaying the Strongest Creature in History

"Martin has left. I am King Riku, the royalty here."

King Riku was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately shouted loudly, hoping that the navy could save his life in time.

"The Riku royal family."

Kuzan and Sakazuki immediately rushed forward and blocked Kaido's attack. Originally, they didn't want to care about the lives of these people, but they didn't expect that these people were led by King Riku.

Kaido looked down at the two men blocking his way. He knew that it was impossible for him to kill these people today; he couldn't kill someone while being protected by two admirals.

Where did Martin go?

Kaido looked at King Riku, pointed at him with his spiked club, and shouted.

"Martin left. I went to look for them just now, but they were gone. I don't know where they went."

King Riku swallowed hard and shouted loudly. Although the naval admiral was in front of him, he felt completely unsafe.

"He's gone, damn it! Why can't I catch up with him every time? He always gets away."

Kaido seemed to have lost interest, and as if he had lost gravity, he flew into the sky and eventually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Although Sakazuki wanted to keep Kaido alive, he eventually gave up on the idea. The Navy and the World Government tried everything they could, including forcibly taking Kaido's Devil Fruit, but they still failed to kill this monster.

Kuzan had no interest in fighting someone like Kaido; he felt that fighting Kaido would be a waste of time and that he would rather find a place to sleep.

"He got away! Kaido actually escaped."

King Riku said regretfully, but he could not step forward to reprimand the two generals in front of him, as these generals were not easy to talk to.

Cyrus followed King Riku with a somber face and without saying a word. He considered himself the strongest fighter in Dressrosa and believed that with enough training, he could easily reach the level of the Five Emperors. However, under Kaido's imposing aura, he had given up trying to stop him and was completely overwhelmed by Kaido's terrifying presence.

“King Riku, I am Admiral Sakazuki, and this is Admiral Kuzan. We are here in Dressrosa on the orders of the Five Elders to retrieve Doflamingo’s body.”

Sakas's face was grim as he spoke to King Liku in a commanding tone.

"What do the Five Elders want with Doflamingo's corpse?!"

King Riku did indeed have Doflamingo's body in his hands, and he had his own plans regarding it. He originally intended to parade Doflamingo's body through the streets after confirming that the Donquixote Family was no longer involved in Dressrosa, thus re-establishing his prestige with Doflamingo's corpse.

Unexpectedly, the Five Elders were also interested in the corpse, which put him in a difficult position: should he hand it over or not?

"Admiral Akainu, King Riku is the King of Dressrosa. Our country is a member state of the World Government, and you dare to speak to His Majesty in such a tone?"

Cyrus said to Sakazuki, "King Riku is not only the king, but also his father-in-law. He has to do something. It's one thing to be bullied by pirates, but now even the navy is bullying us."

"The King of Dressrosa is still Doflamingo, even though he's dead now," Sakazuki said bluntly.

"you……"

Cyrus was quite angry at Sakassky's words.

"Thunder Destruction Sword!"
