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

Unable to bear it any longer, Monet once again swung his frying pan and slammed it down on the golden lion, wanting to kill the old man who had casually eaten his food. The food he made was carefully prepared for his friends, not for outsiders.

"Snapped!"

Martin grasped Monet's hand as he raised it.

"Monet sent me, let me teach this guy what manners are."

Martin narrowed his eyes: "Golden Lion, have you forgotten how you failed?"

"It seems that I, the Golden Lion, have been away from the sea for so long that people have forgotten my reputation. Very well... I will let you know that I, the Golden Lion, am still the king of the sea."

He looked at Martin: "I, Golden Lion, am not your son. I've come to you today to avenge my humiliation and take you as my son."

The Golden Lion threw away the food in his hand, crossed his arms, and glared angrily at Martin and the others.

He could not tolerate the current actions of Martin and Monet, especially Martin, whose deeds were outrageous and he had come here today for revenge.

"Oh!"

Just as Shiki finished speaking, he suddenly felt a punch to the head, followed by a howling wind in his ears and his body plummeting vertically. What frightened him most was that he discovered his Devil Fruit ability had failed, and he couldn't fly even though he wanted to.

"Clap clap clap..."

A series of footsteps sounded, and seeing Shiki the Golden Lion being knocked away by Martin, Enel and the others immediately ran to the edge of the cliff and looked down. Below the bottomless abyss, Shiki the Golden Lion was rapidly descending.

"Hmph! It's best if it falls to its death. How dare it eat my food without my permission?" Monet said fiercely, looking at the golden lion that had fallen.

"Hehehehe, hehehehe, one two three four, one two three four..."

The golden lion, which was plummeting rapidly, suddenly heard a loud slogan. The slogan sounded familiar to him, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

"boom!"

Just as he was about to hit the ground, Shiki felt his Devil Fruit power return. Without thinking, he used the Float-Float Fruit power to stop himself from falling.

The gust of wind generated by the fall stirred up a cloud of dust, and the surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet, followed by the piercing sound of an alarm.

When Golden Lion heard the alarm, he felt as if he had returned to his youth, the same feeling he had when he single-handedly stormed the Marine Headquarters.

"Naval Headquarters!"

Golden Lion suddenly woke up and immediately looked around. Sure enough, it wasn't a hallucination; he was indeed at Marine Headquarters. He then remembered that he had originally planned to test a batch of ferocious beasts, so he parked the base above Marine Headquarters.

The Red Line where Martin and his crew just had their banquet is also located on Marineford. Maybe if Martin and his crew threw down a bone after they finished eating, it would hit a few marines.

"Damn it, why am I so unlucky!"

Golden Lion felt a wave of fear wash over him. He activated the Float-Float Fruit at full power and flew away with a whoosh. He didn't want to go through the ordeal of being imprisoned in Impel Down more than a decade ago. He lost both legs last time, and if he were captured again this time, he might never get out.

"Clap clap clap..."

It wasn't until the Golden Lion flew into the air that the navy realized what was happening. They all raised their weapons and fired at the Golden Lion, but it was too late. No one present could catch the Golden Lion who was trying to escape.

In the Marshal's office, Sengoku, in high spirits, was drinking tea and eating senbei when a sudden alarm startled him. As a veteran, he knew that Marineford had been invaded, and at this time, who would dare to provoke the Navy?

"report!"

Upon hearing the report, Zhan Guo quickly tidied his desk and then called out, "Come in!"

"Marshal, something terrible has happened! The Golden Lion has invaded headquarters again!"

"You again! Who invaded our headquarters?!" Sengoku thought he had misheard.

"Reporting to the Marshal, it's Golden Lion, the great pirate Shiki!"

"Didn't that bastard disappear? How come he's back at headquarters? Oh no! *smack*"

Sengoku suddenly stood up, his feet pushing the table open. Back when Shiki invaded Marineford, he was still an admiral. He and Garp fought together for a long time before finally defeating Shiki. Marineford suffered heavy losses in that battle, with half of Marineford destroyed.

"Quick! Gather your forces and stop Golden Lion!" Sengoku shouted, thinking that thankfully, because of Martin's matter, the three admirals were all on standby at headquarters.

"Marshal! There's no need to gather men anymore, Golden Lion is gone!"

"What?! Golden Lion is gone? Are you sure he's gone?!" Sengoku asked incredulously. How could Golden Lion just leave for no reason?

"Yes, Marshal, we don't know what happened either. The golden lion landed and before we could even react, it flew away."

"Are you sure you're not lying to me?" Sengoku felt that the officer in front of him was definitely making fun of him.

Seeing Sengoku gritting his teeth and clenching his fists as if he wanted to kill him, the sergeant trembled and quickly said, "Marshal, how could I dare to lie to you? I have evidence to prove that Golden Lion did come. So many people saw him at the training ground. I'm just here to report to the Marshal."

"It's good that you have evidence. I don't think you have the guts to lie to me. Go and see your evidence." Zhan Guo smiled and left the office.

The sergeant wiped the sweat from his brow and immediately followed Sengoku towards the training ground.

When Sengoku arrived at the training ground, it was already crowded with people. The three generals, Sakazuki, Kuzan, and Borsalino, were also there. Sengoku had already confirmed the Golden Lion's invasion, but he didn't know what all those people were doing there.

Golden Lion was burning with rage, his anger erupting like a volcano. The person who hit him deserved to die, as he had almost been killed at Marine Headquarters.

"Whoosh!"

The golden lion flew to the top of the Red Line again and, seeing Martin and his companions continuing their feast, roared, "I'm going to kill you all!"

Martin looked up at the golden lion, waved the ribbon in his hand, and said, "Golden Lion, your pants have fallen down."

"Pants."

Golden Lion was stunned for a moment when he heard Martin's words. Then he suddenly felt a chill down his spine and looked down to find that his pants had fallen down at some point.

The golden lion suddenly raised its head and looked at Martin. Why did the ribbon in the other person's hand look so familiar? Wasn't that my belt?

Damn it, when did this kid take off his belt?

Just now, when Martin was hitting the Golden Lion, he hit the Golden Lion on the head with one hand and grabbed the Golden Lion's belt with the other. Martin originally wanted to pull the Golden Lion back to continue hitting it, but he didn't expect the Golden Lion's belt to be so loose that it was pulled off when he pulled it.

Sengoku of Marineford finally reached the center. He looked down and saw a large crowd surrounding a wad of cloth. "Are you all so bored? Shiki has already invaded the headquarters, and you still have the mood to watch this? It's just a wad of cloth. What's so interesting about it?"

The more Zhan Guo thought about it, the angrier he became. He strode forward and kicked the piece of cloth away.

"Marshal, wait!"

As soon as the sergeant finished speaking, the wad of cloth flew up and fluttered in the wind, just like a flag being blown open by the wind.

Sengoku stared at the unfolded cloth on the ground. The cloth looked somewhat familiar to him. The words "Golden Lion" popped into his mind. Wasn't this the traditional trousers that the Golden Lion wore?

Sengoku turned and glared at the officer with a fierce look, as if to say, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

boom!

Suddenly, thunder rumbled in the sky. How could there be thunder on such a clear, sunny day?

Top of the red earth continent.

“Kid, you’re asking for it,” the Golden Lion said, finally resolving the situation.

"Slash Wave!"

With a roar, the Golden Lion unleashed a long slash from his feet. After losing both legs and replacing them with his sword, he diligently practiced his swordsmanship, eventually making the slashes from his legs no less powerful than his opponent's.

This wave-splitting technique was something he mastered after slashing at the sea. A single strike is enough to split open a thousand miles of sea surface and restore calm to the ocean waves.

Martin saw the slash coming straight at him. The best way to deal with the slash was to dodge, but unfortunately, this was the top of the Red Line, and Enel and the others were right behind him. If he dodged, they would inevitably be attacked.

"Conqueror's Haki Iron Fist!"

Martin stopped thinking and unleashed a golden punch, his fist glowing.

"boom!"

Martin's iron fist and the golden lion's slash collided, and both disappeared into the air with a deafening roar like thunder. The aftershocks of their disappearance even carved several deep scratches into the hard ground.

"Martin, you're too arrogant. It's not too late for you to regret it now."

"Come conquer the world with me, hahaha!" the Golden Lion said deliberately, "as long as you call me dad."

"hehe!"

"Hmm! Kid, what do you mean by that?"

Golden Lion roared, not expecting his invitation to elicit two chuckles from Martin.

"It's nothing. I just think you've misunderstood something. You overestimate yourself. A mouse that hides in the shadows can't conquer the world. You're no longer the once-powerful pirate admiral. But your suggestion is good, and I can accept it."

"Only if you call me Dad again."

After hearing Martin's words, the Golden Lion's anger erupted like a volcano, but he suppressed his anger after hearing that Martin had accepted his proposal.

"You're a smart kid. If you work for me, I guarantee you'll be able to conquer the world, hahaha."

“Golden Lion, I think you’ve got it wrong. I just accepted your proposal, not that I wanted to work for you. I just thought your proposal was good. In fact, I was thinking about how Golden Lion could come and work for me, my good son!” Martin stared at Golden Lion and said sincerely.

"You dare to humiliate me, kid?! Ugh!" Upon hearing Martin's words, Golden Lion gritted his teeth and crushed the cigar in his mouth.

"Lion·Senkiriya!"

The two swords on the golden lion's feet danced rapidly, unleashing a barrage of slashes no less powerful than a wave-slashing attack, determined to cut Martin to pieces.

"Iron Fist, Combo!"

Martin unleashed a barrage of punches, each one like a cannonball, flying densely towards the Golden Lion's slash.

The Golden Lion's slashes were like thin knives, while Martin's punches were like shields. Although the Golden Lion's slashes were numerous, they were all firmly blocked by Martin's punches, and not a single one escaped.

Because of the large area of ​​the punch, Martin's punch could often neutralize several slashes, ultimately causing Martin's punch to break through the slashes and strike the Golden Lion.

"Hoohoo!"

The golden lion soared through the air, nimbly dodging several punches. He hadn't expected to be at a disadvantage in his clash with Martin's punches. Luckily, he was flying in the air, otherwise he might have taken a few punches.

Damn it, Martin seems to have gotten even stronger.

He didn't even use a knife?

Do you really think you're the same person you used to be?

"Go! Go! Go, Captain!"

"Go! Go! Go, Captain!"

"Captain, cheer up this old man!"

Enel and the others stood behind Martin, becoming part of the cheerleading squad, constantly cheering for Martin.

Monet went even further, hurling insults at the Golden Lion, as if he wouldn't rest until he had beaten the old man to death.

"Damn it, you damned brats!"

The golden lion suddenly felt himself descending from the clouds.
