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

Chopper didn't resist going with Luffy. Even though he was going to attack Luffy, he was protected by him. Chopper started to like Luffy.

Chapter 240 The Straw Hat Pirates

Chopper watched Luffy stuffing food into his mouth, then picked it up and started eating too. This time, he felt the food tasted different and much tastier. Sure enough, the environment matters when it comes to eating.

Martin watched from afar as Chopper and Luffy played together, then left with peace of mind. With Luffy by his side, Chopper shouldn't encounter any danger, and besides, Chopper wasn't someone to be trifled with.

While Martin was busy organizing the King of Adventure tournament, someone secretly left the Sabaody Archipelago and went to Mary Geoise to meet the Five Elders.

"Five Elders, this is the blood sample of Martin that you requested."

“Very good, Spandam hasn’t forgotten our trust in you.” The Five Elders shook the test tube; the blood inside was dark in color and felt dried and hardened.

"When did you get this blood? How did it get like this? You're not just trying to fool us with some random stuff, are you?!"

“Elders, this really is Martin’s blood, but I’ve had it for ten years. For the past few years, I’ve been trying day and night to get the blood here as soon as possible, but I’ve been stuck on Jaya Island and couldn’t leave until now,” Spandam quickly explained.

"Ten years have passed, and you're actually bringing us blood from ten years ago? What use is this blood now?" The Five Elders were furious.

“My lord, Lord Five Elders, I have no choice. Martin was only seriously injured that one time. He has never been injured before. The blood on your hand is the only blood he has ever lost.”

When the Five Elders heard Spandam say that, they couldn't blame him anymore, so they could only take the blood and leave, not knowing what to do next.

Spandam watched the Five Elders leave, unsure of what to do. He could only follow them to pay respects to his father, Spandam, who had been killed many years ago.

Not long after, Spandam received another order to meet the Five Elders in the Power Room.

"Spandam, do you know any way to get him to Mary Geoise?"

Spandam was curious about what the Five Elders had said and wanted to know why Martin had come to Mary Geoise, but he didn't dare to ask. He understood that there were some things he could know and some things he couldn't know.

"It might be difficult for the Five Elders. No one can influence Martin's thoughts. He can only come to Mary Geoise if he is willing. Otherwise, it is impossible to do so."

“We know Spandam, of course. For example, if there’s someone important to Martin, or something important to him, we’ll do anything to get him to Mary Geoise.”

"It's the Five Elders! I'll think about it, I'll think about it carefully." Spandam was so anxious that cold sweat poured down his forehead.

Under the powerful aura of the Five Elders, Spandam's entire defense was enveloped in mist, floating aimlessly and unaware of its meaning.

Sweat poured from every pore on his body, soaking all his clothes.

He knew that if he didn't have a good answer, he would be finished. The Five Elders would no longer think highly of him, and Martin would try every means to kill him.

"I've got it! I've got the Five Elders! They have something important to Martin!" Spandam suddenly shouted.

Spandam's shout excited the Five Elders. They had been disappointed by Spandam's performance and thought they would have to find another way, but they didn't expect that Spandam would actually come up with one.

This guy has been gathering intelligence on Martin; he should be able to find out something.

After all, Martin had a blood feud with the other party for killing his father, so he shouldn't have held back.

"quick!"

"What are you waiting for!"

Several of the Five Elders questioned him repeatedly.

The Five Elders asked their questions urgently, which made Spandam tremble and look at them in fear.

"It's Chopper, Chopper is the most important person to Martin."

"Chopper!"

The five elders looked at each other. They hadn't seen any of these things in Martin's messages and had no idea what Spandam was doing.

"What is Chopper anyway? Hurry up."

“Five Elders, Chopper is an animal that ate the Human-Human Fruit. He is Martin’s most important brother. I heard that this animal and Martin have lived together since they were young, and Martin values ​​this animal more than his own life,” Spandam said quickly.

"An animal, an animal is the most important thing to Martin, Spandam, you're not kidding, are you?!"

One of the Five Elders sneered, drawing his sword. In his mind, even if Spandam were a woman, she would be better than an animal, making her more acceptable.

You should know that Martin has many women, including many wives, and they want to target Martin's women.

Spandam stared at the sword in the Five Elders' hands, the gleaming blade sending chills down his spine: "Five Elders, it's true, I'm not lying, Chopper really is the thing Martin values ​​most."

The five elders with swords looked at the others, exchanging glances with them, trying to determine whether Spandam was lying or just trying to appease them.

“Very well, since you, Chopper, are Martin’s most important possession, then this arduous task is entrusted to you. You are responsible for bringing that animal here,” one of the Five Elders ordered Spandam.

“Lord Five Elders, although Chopper is an animal, he is not someone I can kidnap. He is extremely powerful,” Spandam said with difficulty.

"This is your business. We don't care what methods you use. We hope you won't betray our trust in you. We will consider the candidate for the head of CP0," the Five Elders said calmly.

"Yes, Lord Five Elders! I'll go and find a way to bring that animal here as soon as possible," Spandam said happily.

"What should I do? What should I do? How can I get Chopper to Mary Geoise?"

After leaving the Five Elders, Spandam kept muttering to himself. With a Dao power of only 9, every method he tried was fraught with difficulties.

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle!"

Spandam, lost in thought, arrived at the registration point. Just then, his stomach started growling loudly. He knew perfectly well that the food was free, so he casually found a seat and started eating.

He suddenly saw Chopper and Luffy having a competition to see who could eat more and faster.

"I've got it! How could I forget about that? Chopper is notoriously gluttonous!" Spandam jumped up excitedly, then hurriedly ran back to Mary Geoise.

Not long after, Chopper and Luffy, who were constantly pushing their foodie limits, smelled a special aroma. They were naturally drawn to it and found that a food stall had appeared outside the venue.

"Mushrooms, delicious mushrooms!" the two vendors kept shouting. Many people surrounded the vendors, asking them all sorts of questions. However, their mushrooms cost money, while the food at the competition venue was free, so people quickly left their stalls.

"Boss, give me a big bowl of mushrooms," Luffy gestured.

"Okay, here you go." The vendor quickly prepared two plates of mushrooms, giving one to Luffy and the other to Chopper.

Luffy and Chopper immediately buried their heads in their food. Luffy quickly fell asleep, while Chopper became listless and had no energy left.

"Hahaha, this useless mushroom is really useful. No matter how strong you are, you'll become useless after eating it." Spandam walked out laughing.

"The Five Elders are Chopper!"

After capturing Chopper, Spandam rushed to the Five Elders to claim credit.

"Is this your animal? So it is. That's great. Spandam, you did a good job. We'll remember your contribution."

One of the Five Elders excitedly took Chopper and stroked his fur repeatedly.

"Thank you, Elder Five Stars. I will take my leave now."

"Spandam, you can step down now! We'll have someone contact you once everything is arranged."

"Thank you, Lord Five Elders," Spandam said happily as he walked out, his mind filled with fantasies of becoming the head of CP0.

“Now that we have a hostage, if Spandam isn’t lying to us, Martin should come to Mary Geoise. We only have one chance, so we must seize it.”

"Not only Martin, but his factions should also be rendered unnecessary."

"Once Martin arrives in Mary Geoise, let the navy take action! Wipe out those people from Sabaody Archipelago as well. What kind of 'Adventure King' is he? He's just deceiving himself."

……

"Hmm, where did Chopper go!"

After Martin finished his work on the tournament, he returned to look for Chopper, only to find that not only was Chopper missing, but Luffy was also nowhere to be found.

"Someone come here!"

"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

"Send someone to go and find out where Chopper went!"

"It's the God-King!"

Time ticked by, but Martin's men still hadn't replied, which made him nervous, and a bad feeling filled his heart.

"My Lord God, your men have searched the entire Sabaody Archipelago, but we have not found Lord Chopper, nor has anyone seen him leave."

"How could there be none? That's impossible. Search carefully again. You must find Chopper's whereabouts."

"It's the God-King!"

While Martin sent people to look for Chopper, Luffy also came over. He turned around and looked around, only to find that Chopper was gone, and the mushroom stall had also disappeared.

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle!"

"I'm so hungry. I remember eating a lot. How come I'm hungry again?" Luffy muttered to himself, then slowly walked back to the arena and began to eat heartily.

A stall

Two stalls

Three stalls

……

"Delicious, delicious, so delicious! This tastes just like George's cooking, it's so good!" Luffy was eating with his head down, unaware that someone inside the stall was holding a spatula and gritting their teeth, watching him.

"Oh!"

Nami raised the shovel high and slammed it down on Luffy's head. That wretched captain! The delicious food that she and Sanji had worked so hard to make had been eaten up by the shovel.

"Ouch! Who is it! Who dares to hit me?" Luffy suddenly raised his head. "Nami, what are you doing here? Weren't you and Sanji busy with your cooking competition?"

"Luffy..." Nami shouted, "Look where we are!"

After Nami finished shouting, she pointed to her stall.

Luffy tilted his head, looking this way and that, then clasped his hands together and exclaimed, "Isn't this Sanji's stall? How did I get here? No wonder it tastes just as good as Sanji's."

"Get out! Luffy, get the hell out of here!" Nami shouted angrily, swinging her shovel around as if she wanted to kill Luffy with one blow.

"Nami, I'm going to play!" Luffy jumped and ran away, heading to Martin's place to find Chopper.

"Whoosh!"

Luffy stretched out his hand, grabbed a tree, and flew towards the arena, quickly spotting Martin standing on the platform wearing a straw hat.

"A great opportunity!"

Luffy noticed that Martin had his arms crossed and seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, and he felt that this was a good opportunity for him to get his straw hat back.

"Whoosh!"

Luffy's arm instantly stretched out, reaching straight for the straw hat. Just as he was about to grab the hat, Martin raised his hand and grabbed Luffy's hand.
