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

"I must be too tired, that's why I'm having this illusion, that must be it," the agent encouraged himself, then pushed off with his feet and charged at Martin again.

"razor!"

The CP0 agent combined Moonwalk and Shave, creating a cutting effect under his feet while moving at high speed, and slashed towards Martin's chest.

"clang!"

The agent kicked Martin, making a metallic clang.

"Finger Pistol - Rapid Fire!"

"Dong dong dong..."

As soon as the agent landed, his fingers fired like machine guns, raining down attacks on Martin.

Unfortunately, the CP0 agent's attack, though seemingly fierce, ultimately failed to break through Martin's defenses, leaving his fingers numb and his body increasingly weak.

"Iron block!"

Martin remained motionless.

"Bang bang bang!"

The rebounding force struck the agent several times in succession, sending him flying again and crashing heavily to the ground.

"Clap clap clap!"

Martin slowly approached the agent, his footsteps sounding particularly heavy to the agent lying on the ground. He forced himself up and raised his head, saying, "You... what do you want? I am one of the Five Elders. If you dare to kill me, the Five Elders will definitely not let you off."

"Hehe, the Five Elders? What do I care about the Five Elders? I thought it was Im!" Martin joked.

"How dare you insult the Five Elders! Im is nothing compared to the Five Elders! I'll kill you!" The agents struggled to stand up, but he couldn't get up no matter how hard he tried.

“Let’s go! Honestly, even hosting a banquet can’t give us a moment’s peace,” Martin said to everyone as he walked into the crowd.

Watching Martin and his crew leave on the Harem, the CP0 agent struggled to his feet.

"Thank you, Five Elders, your renown has allowed me to live once again."

The agent thought Martin had been scared off by the reputation of the Five Elders. After finishing his mission, the agent stumbled and ran towards Mary Geoise, trying to catch up with Sengoku and the others, but now it seemed impossible.

Immediately afterwards, he collapsed to the ground and stopped breathing.

……

Sengoku and his companions leaped across the Red Earth, rushing towards Mary Geoise at top speed. As the beautiful architecture of Mary Geoise came into view, Sengoku suddenly felt that Mary Geoise was different now, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

"Clap clap clap!"

Sengoku, Sakazuki, Kuzan, Borsalino, and the others finally landed on the streets of Mary Geoise. It was then that Sengoku realized what was different about Mary Geoise today: the traffic was terrible.

The streets were packed with people, many of whom were Celestial Dragons. A Celestial Dragon would travel with at least dozens of slaves, making the streets incredibly crowded. Since everyone was a Celestial Dragon, there were no special privileges or advantages; everyone wanted to go first.

Finally, Sengoku spotted several World Government officials struggling to maintain traffic order on the street. They could manage to deal with ordinary people before, but now that the streets were filled with Celestial Dragons, they dared not utter a sound, only managing to say, "Saint XXXX, be careful! Saint XXXX, be careful not to fall..."

"What happened? Why are so many Celestial Dragons leaving Mary Geoise?!" As the Fleet Admiral protecting the Celestial Dragons, Sengoku was completely baffled.

"Who goes there? Can't you see I'm busy? Disturbing my work, do you want to end up in jail?"

The World Government official, who was being questioned by Sengoku, replied impatiently without turning his head that he was not afraid of anyone except the Celestial Dragons, and that the Celestial Dragons would never come to question him, which led him to always consider himself the number three, with Heaven being the number one and Earth the number two.

"You bastard! Who are you talking to!"

Sakazuki stepped forward, grabbed a World Government official, and then slapped him several times.

"Clap clap clap!"

The faces of the world government officials were instantly slapped into a pulp.

"You...you actually dared to attack a World Government official, are you trying to rebel?" The official had barely finished speaking when he realized something was wrong with the person in front of him. It was an Admiral, this person was Marine Admiral Akainu, and the person from before...

The official turned around, trembling, and just as he had expected, the person speaking to him was none other than Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

"What on earth is going on here? Why have all the Celestial Dragons run away?!"

Sengoku looked at the trembling World Government official and could only ask again.

"Marshal! Marshal! You've finally arrived! If you hadn't come soon, Mary Geoise would have been doomed!" the official cried out.

"What is it?" Sengoku asked impatiently.

“Just now, thick smoke and flames suddenly billowed from the top of the Red Line. The Celestial Dragons thought it was a volcanic eruption and tried to flee Mary Geoise. We called the Marine Admiral for backup, but neither the Admiral nor you were there. In the end, the Celestial Dragons lost control and tried to escape!” The official answered Sengoku’s question with trembling lips.

"I see," Sengoku understood what was going on after hearing this. The fight between Sakazuki and Martin had been too loud; the Celestial Dragons were too cowardly.

"call!"

Sengoku activated his Devil Fruit power, transforming into the form of a giant Buddha. He then loudly proclaimed, "All Celestial Dragons, the Red Line is safe. There's no fire eruption there. It's just that a pirate invaded the area, and I sent an admiral to deal with it. You can all go back now!"

Sengoku returned to human form, believing that if he revealed the truth, the Celestial Dragons would surely return home and the chaos would pass.

But he was wrong. The already chaotic Mary Geoise became even more chaotic. Everyone originally wanted to escape Mary Geoise, so although the direction of the bet was the same, now that the Warring States period was unified, some Celestial Dragons wanted to return to Mary Geoise. The crowd suddenly confronted each other, and the situation quickly got out of control.

The CP0 agents finally caught up with Sengoku and his group, sneaked into the crowd, entered a secret passage, and then disappeared into the street.

"Lord Five Elders, as you instructed, I have already notified Admiral Akainu to stop. However, Fleet Admiral Sengoku and the other three admirals were also present at the time, so I had to meet with them on your behalf! Fleet Admiral Sengoku and the three admirals are already on their way!"

"I understand, you may leave!"

"Wait! What happened to your injuries? Did Sakazuki do this to you?"

Hearing the Five Elders' somewhat angry question, the agent was thrilled; the Five Elders actually cared about him.

"No, no, it wasn't Lord Akainu who hit him, it was a young man named Martin. He actually dared to insult the Five Elders..." The agent stopped and dared not continue.

"..." one of the Five Elders said angrily, his anger rising when he heard Martin insult them.

"It's the Five Elders! That kid Martin, the Five Elders are nothing! He thought it was Im!"

"But rest assured, Five Elders, I've already scolded him. I scolded him, saying that Im is nothing, how can he compare to the supreme Five Elders? Are you all right?"

The Five Elders were about to get angry when they heard that the agent was nothing, but when they suddenly heard about Im and his group, they were immediately terrified. Im's existence was unknown to most people, and Martin was indeed no ordinary person.

Then they heard the agents flattering them, saying that Im was nothing but a fart, which terrified them. Im was the Dragon King, a truly supreme being. In front of him, they were nothing but a fart. Martin was not wrong.

"Someone come here!"

"The Five Elders!"

"I don't want to see this idiot again!"

"It's the Five Elders!"

After flattering the Five Elders, the agent was waiting for their reward, but instead of the reward, he was dragged away like this.

"Lord Five Elders, Marshal Sengoku and the three generals have arrived!"

"Let them in!"

"Lord Five Elders, what brings you here?" Sengoku asked, seeing the five old men sitting in the room.

"What's going on? Why are you and the three admirals acting recklessly on the Red Line? Do you know what the consequences will be?"

"Lord Five Elders, we have already seen the consequences on the way. But this cannot be blamed on our Navy. Shiki the Golden Lion invaded the top of the Red Line. We were just going up there to capture people."

Sengoku had already devised a plan on the way, shifting the blame onto the great pirate, Golden Lion.

Chapter 234 The Celestial Dragons' False Justice

"How come the golden lion is up there?"

"Lord Five Elders, we don't know what he's doing. He might be plotting something against the Celestial Dragons, so the four of us chased after him, but unfortunately he escaped in the end," Sengoku said calmly.

"Alright, we understand now. It seems Mary Geoise isn't as safe as we thought. What should we do?"

One of the Five Elders deliberately spoke up, saying that they had already planned to leave Sakazuki behind before Sengoku arrived. First, it would quell the disturbances in Mary Geoise, and having an admiral stationed there permanently would be the best guarantee of safety. Second, with the pirates weakened, it would also weaken the navy, thus maintaining a balance.

“Sengoku allowed Sakazuki to stay and be stationed permanently in Mary Geoise. I will allow you to set up a branch here to facilitate communication between the World Government and the Navy,” another of the Five Elders said.

"This……"

Sengoku hesitated. Although he didn't like Sakazuki, Sakazuki was, after all, the Navy's top combat force. Moreover, Sakazuki and the Five Elders were already quite close. If he were to be stationed in Mary Geoise, he would still be a Navy member in name, but in reality, he would become a member of the Five Elders.

"What? Isn't the safety of Mary Geoise important? Although the Marine Headquarters is down there, even the fastest Borsalino would take time to get here. It's far safer than having an Admiral stationed here permanently," another of the Five Elders said angrily.

"Understood, Lord Five Elders. Sakazuki, you will stay and establish the branch. From now on, you will be the branch commander." Sengoku reluctantly agreed.

Sakazuki was overjoyed when he heard that the Five Elders wanted to keep him, which showed that he was important to the Five Elders.

He had no idea of ​​the Five Elders' true purpose in keeping him here, nor did he know how much staying in Mary Geoise would affect him, or how a comfortable life could be a terrible butcher's knife.

"Yes, Marshal. I will establish the strongest branch and protect Mary Geoise well."

“Very good, Sakazuki, very enlightened,” one of the Five Elders said happily.

"We left long ago, Lord Five Elders. We still have a lot of things to take care of at Marine Headquarters," Sengoku said. He felt there was no point in staying any longer. It seemed the Five Elders had summoned them here for Sakazuki's sake.

"Go back now! The safety of the sea is in your hands!"

"It is the Five Elders."

Sengoku left the Five Elders' office with Kuzan and Borsalino. There were four of them when they came, but only three of them returned. It was now difficult to say whether Sakazuki would belong to the Navy in the future.

"Marshal, our navy is missing an admiral. What are we going to do now?" Kuzan said worriedly. Three admirals were already not enough, and now they are missing one more.

Actually, Kuzan wasn't worried about not having enough people; he was worried that he might get less sleep in the future, whereas Akainu used to be the one who was always busy.

Borsalino shared some of the same concerns. When Sakazuki was around, even though his political views differed greatly from theirs, he still acted like everyone owed him a fortune.

However, one thing he was certain of was mission execution. Sakazuki had basically taken over all the missions for the Navy's admirals, which gave him plenty of time to clock in and out, drink tea, and slack off. Who would do the missions from now on—Kuzan or himself? Borsalino seemed to be thinking of something terrifying.

Sengoku stopped in his tracks, now regretting his decision. He should have persisted. Although he didn't like Sakazuki, Sakazuki was truly exceptional in carrying out missions and orders; he was a genuine soldier who carried out every order to the end, regardless of its content, even murder and arson.

Sengoku glanced at Kuzan and Borsalino, thinking of the two beside him. They were terrible at carrying out missions. For a long time, they would avoid doing anything if they could, acting as if it was none of their business. Moreover, they were slow and dragged their feet when carrying out orders.

That's how they are, and that's how Garp is too. Aside from being more proactive in asking for senbei, he basically only comes to my office to ask for leave. As for carrying out missions, haha! Forget it!

His only mission was to find Martin, and he even let him off the hook, which has led to him becoming too powerful to control. Thinking about this gives Sengoku an even bigger headache.

"Why am I so unlucky!"

"What's wrong, Marshal?" Kuzan asked hastily upon hearing Sengoku's exclamation.

"It's nothing. I'll leave the naval affairs to you from now on." Sengoku quickly regained his spirits. As the highest leader of the navy, he couldn't be negative, otherwise his subordinates would lose confidence.

"marshal!"
