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

"Who is that person!" Spandam suddenly saw a person fly up from Gaya Island. This person was wearing purple clothes and was particularly conspicuous.

"I don't know him!"

"Never seen it before!"

"Never heard of it!"

“I know him. He’s a gambling addict who comes to my casino all the time and has never won a single time. He’s one of my most valued customers.” While others didn’t know who he was, Tesoro recognized him at a glance.

"Hahaha, Martin really has no one else to rely on, he actually sent a gambling addict, that's hilarious." The man had just finished laughing when his smiling face turned to horror, as if he had seen something that terrified him.

Seeing this expression, the others also became unsettled, and one by one they looked at Gaya Island again. At this moment, the meteor volcanoes emitted by Sakazuki, like lanterns, floated above Gaya Island, constantly rotating around it, as if adding a decoration to Gaya Island.

"not good!"

Sakazuki yelled, and then something even more terrifying happened: the Lava Fist he had unleashed actually flew back. Although his move was powerful, once it was unleashed, the Lava Fist was no longer under his control.

Sakazuki's Lava Fist, accompanied by a whooshing sound, hurtled towards the Combined Fleet. At this time, the Combined Fleet's attack had not yet begun, and the fleets were very close together. There was no time to dodge, and the sheer number of Lava Fists left them no room to hide.

"What do we do! What do we do!"

Spandam was so anxious he paced back and forth. "It's all your fault! What a terrible idea! Look at this, this is an enemy force, do you know that? If the mission fails, I'll report you to the Five Elders!"

"Hmph! Do you want to die?"

Sakazuki was being scolded by Spandain like a dog, and he immediately became indignant. He was a naval admiral, and Spandain was just an intelligence officer, how dare he speak to him like that?

Sakazuki grabbed Spandam's collar with one hand and raised his iron fist with the other, seemingly intending to kill Spandam with one punch.

"Admiral Akainu, please calm down!"

At one point, a masked man appeared in front of Spandam. He was a CP0 agent responsible for protecting Spandam. Although Spandam was weak, he was favored by the Five Elders and was a favorite of them.

"Snapped!"

Sakazuki released Spandam's collar. "Watch your mouth, or I'll kill you!"

Spandam, who was initially terrified, regained his composure when he saw the CP0 agent appear: "Akainu, what do you mean? Am I wrong? I am a World Government official, one of the Five Elders, and you dare to kill me?"

"Humph!"

Sakazuki, too lazy to deal with Spandan, focused on watching the lava fist flying overhead and thinking about how to counter it.

At this moment, a man stepped out of the ship. He was a subordinate of Yumit, the shipping magnate, and possessed the strength of an admiral.

The man was waving his hands toward the sky, as if he were weaving something, but no one could understand what he was doing.

However, due to his actions, the Lava Fist, which was flying towards the Combined Fleet, suddenly changed direction, as if it had entered a special channel, and fell towards the sea outside the fleet.

"Haha, everyone, don't be afraid! How could a mere inanimate object possibly harm us!"

Just as everyone was wondering, the Shipping King suddenly burst into laughter.

The other members of the underworld didn't seem surprised at all. Not only were they all from the underworld, but they also competed with each other and knew exactly who each of them had under their command.

The person who just made the move was Shield Bull, a capable subordinate of the Sea King. He can guide anything to where he wants it to go, whether it's an attack or a ship. Thanks to this subordinate, the Sea King's shipping business is thriving.

Seeing that the fleet was safe, Spandam breathed a sigh of relief, secretly feeling that he had been too impulsive. With such a powerful team, he had actually been afraid and offended Sakazuki, which was just asking for trouble.

"Attack! Slaughter everyone in the Temple of Good and Evil!"

Spanda, fearing Sakazuki's retaliation, shouted directly.

Upon hearing Spandam's order, Sakazuki and Judge did not delay and went directly to command their respective teams. The massive fleet began to disperse and slowly surrounded Jaya Island.

"fire!"

"fire!"

With Sakazuki's order, the fleet's cannons were aimed at Gaya Island, and then the cannons began to fire incessantly, raining down shells towards the island.

"Fleet advance!"

Judge's tactics were completely different from Sakazuki's. He gave up bombarding Jaya Island. One reason was that his ships were provided by various kingdoms, and their firepower was not as strong as that provided by the World Government. Another reason was that he did not think the cannons could damage Jaya Island. With the cover of these cannons, he could transport people to the island and open a breach in the island.

"His Majesty Judge is indeed a master of tactics, exceeding everyone's expectations."

Spanda's pretense of knowledge when he didn't understand it drew a lot of snickers.

"Shield Bull, give them a hand!"

As the King of Shipping, he was the most experienced and had the most say in sailing the seas.

"Yes, sir!"

Shield Bull reached out his hand to Judge's fleet.

"Accelerate the guidance!"

As the shield bull slid off, the ships of the Judge fleet seemed to have taken a stimulant, their speed increasing exponentially, making it feel as if the entire ship was flying, and yet this speed did not damage the hull.

You might be wondering, doesn't the ship have sails? It's used for cruising when it's going fast, but when Judge ordered the attack, the sails were taken down, and the ship was propelled forward entirely by manpower.

The crew of the Gaj assault ship were startled by the sudden acceleration. After realizing they didn't have to row themselves, they figured someone must be helping them.

"Bang bang bang!"

In the blink of an eye, the ship crashed into the coast of Gaya Island. Gaya Island is now located on the outskirts, so there are ports everywhere.

The soldiers on the ship discovered that they had sailed to Gaya Island without any hindrance, without encountering any resistance whatsoever.

"Reiju, Ichiji, Niji, Yonji, you take men and charge in. Make sure you find that traitorous snail ship and kill it."

Upon hearing Judge's words, his children answered without any doubt, "Yes, Father."

Judge watched as his four children rushed inside, while he stood motionless on the boat. He dared not approach the snail-like vessel, but he believed that his children were enough; they were the best war machines.

The bigwigs on the flagship of the Combined Fleet were in an uproar. They couldn't believe that Judge had managed to break through the defenses of Jaya Island and successfully land on it. Was the Temple of Good and Evil really that difficult to enter? Was Martin just someone who only knew how to make money and didn't know the cruelty of the world?

Thinking of this, the new group of big shots became uneasy. They knew how many Berries the Temple of Good and Evil earned each year by how many people here wanted him dead. They couldn't let Judge monopolize all those Berries.

"Attack!"

"Go!"

……

One by one, the bigwigs gave orders to their subordinates. Their mission this time was partly because Martin had stolen their business, and partly because they wanted to rob the Temple of Good and Evil. Over the years, their temple had become incredibly wealthy, even more so than the treasure of the Pirate King.

Sakazuki was also unsettled. He thought that Judge's rash landing on the island would inevitably result in heavy losses, but he didn't expect that he was wrong. Martin simply didn't know how to fight.

"Cease fire! Land on the island."

Sakazuki immediately gave the order, thinking that shelling now would not only waste ammunition and time, but might also kill his own men. Although he was not willing to let those soldiers die, he was afraid that if it came to the Five Elders, he would have to continue to be a prostitute for the dragon people.

The massive fleet was reduced to a single flagship adrift on the sea, while the other ships had surrounded Gaya Island. The captain's men rushed to Gaya Island in a frenzy, eager to claim the easy victory. But was that really the case?

Upon arriving at Gaya Island, Sakassky discovered that the island's materials were unusual. Despite his footing, the rocks remained intact, and the surface was too smooth, appearing more like man-made formations than naturally formed ones.

"Could it be that the Temple of Good and Evil is really that rich? I just randomly chose a place to land on the island, and it was built so well. Even the Marine Headquarters doesn't have such conditions," Sakazuki thought to himself.

As Sakassky exclaimed, Martin was standing on high ground, overlooking the entire Gaya Island.

"God King, the prey has entered the ambush zone!"

"Then let's get started!"

Martin waved his hand and said that after learning that the enemy was coming, Martin had made a plan. He completely abandoned the outer defense, which seemed foolish, but he had his own purpose, which was to conduct a large-scale training exercise.

He was fully capable of intercepting the fleet at sea, but in the end he rejected the plan. Only the cold-blooded nature of war can make people grow, only war can bring people together, and only war can make people realize how hard-won their current happy days are.

Sakazuki and Gaji's four children walked cautiously down the street. Gaya Island was beautifully built, with roads that stretched in all directions. The only thing they couldn't accept was that there was no one on the island.

Just as they were wondering, the earth suddenly shook, followed by a barrage of shouts of battle. The deafening shouts instilled fear in the soldiers of the World Government and the entire kingdom. Only the five thousand clone soldiers brought by Judge remained calm and stood close to Reiju and the others.

"Clang clang clang!"

The sounds of clashing weapons filled the air as the soldiers at the forefront clashed. The soldiers who had been charging toward the center of Gaya Island were no longer stopped and began to retreat. However, they eventually realized that they were surrounded and had nowhere to retreat but to fight back.

Sakazuki also noticed that the soldiers rushing out from Martin's side were of high quality and very strong, especially some of the soldiers who looked the same as the Germa 66 soldiers, but Martin's soldiers were clearly stronger.

Just as Sakazuki had thought, although these soldiers used the same technology as Germa, Martin used better materials, resulting in stronger embryos for cultivating the soldiers. In order to find the strongest embryos, Martin experimented with many human cells to create them.

These people, including Whitebeard, Kaido, Martin himself, and many other powerful individuals, all failed without exception. In the end, only one person succeeded, and that person was Edward Weevil.

Why Edward Weebull's cells could be used to create embryos remains a mystery, even to this day, as the project leader, Caesar, did not know.

Seeing his soldiers being knocked down and killed, Sakazuki roared with rage. He had poured all his efforts into these soldiers over the past few years, and he thought they were the best soldiers in the world, but he never expected them to be defeated so quickly.

"A massive fireball!"

"Netherhound!"

"Lava Fist!"

Sakazuki repeatedly used his Devil Fruit powers to attack the soldiers on Jaya Island, instantly killing a large number of them. Fortunately, most of these soldiers were clones.

Even the clones caused Martin a pang of heartache. These clones were powerful and required a lot of resources, not only more resources but also more time.

"Akainu, you mad dog, you're asking for it!" Martin shouted as he charged down, clenching his fist and punching Sakazuki.

"Martin, you've finally shown up! Die!" Sakazuki was also excited when he saw Martin appear.

"A dog gnaws at a red lotus!"

Sakazuki's hand transformed into a menacing lava dog, lunging at Martin as if to devour him whole.

"Oh!"

Martin made no attempt to dodge and crashed directly into Sakazuki's magma dog. The moment Huo Yuan collided with it, the magma dog exploded, sending large amounts of magma shooting out in all directions.

"Go to hell! You mad dog!"

After breaking through the lava dogs, Martin came up to Sakazuki and punched him without any skill, shouting and cursing. Sakazuki's indiscriminate killing of soldiers had really angered him.

"Oh!"

Sakazuki reacted quickly, raising his hand to block Martin's punch. Knowing Martin's abilities, he also used Armament Haki, making his dark arm more noticeable.

Sakazuki was wrong again. Today's Martin is not the Martin of a few years ago. After so many years of honing his skills, especially after he turned forty-five, he has made great strides.

"Oh!"

Another loud bang rang out as Martin's fist bypassed Sakazuki's block and slammed into Martin's head, sending him flying.

"Impossible, this is impossible!" Sakazuki, lying on the ground, shouted in disbelief that he couldn't even stop Martin's punch.

"puff!"
