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

"Humph!"

Martin snorted coldly. He had just appeared to be resting with his eyes closed, but in fact he was using his Observation Haki to sense the entire Sabaody Archipelago. He knew Chopper's presence very well, and he believed that as long as Chopper was still in the Sabaody Archipelago, he could sense him. He also clearly knew about Luffy's attack through his Observation Haki.

Martin pulled hard, and Luffy was pulled in the opposite direction.

"Bang bang bang!"

Martin swung his fist and punched Luffy several times, pinning him to the ground and relentlessly pounding him, leaving Luffy completely bewildered.

Who is Luffy? He's a kid who never suffers a loss, and he already has a grudge against Martin for stealing his hat.

"Giant's Fist!"

Luffy gritted his teeth, blew up his fist like a balloon, and then slammed it down on Martin.

"So domineering!"

Martin casually retaliated, punching Luffy's giant fist with his Haki, directly shattering Luffy's Devil Fruit power.

Luffy's fist, under the effect of Martin's powerful, indirect strike, quickly returned to the size of a normal human hand and then retracted.

"What's going on?!"

Luffy stared at his hand in disbelief. How could his Devil Fruit power have suddenly disappeared?

"I don't have time to play with you. I have very important things to do right now. If you dare to bother me again, I'll kill you," Martin said fiercely to Luffy.

"Oh!"

Luffy responded and prepared to turn and leave, but then he suddenly remembered something important: he had come to play with Chopper.

"Could you hand over the animals from your place? I want to play with them, and it's especially fun to eat meat with them."

“Chopper is missing,” Martin said, frowning.

"Oh, Chopper is missing! I just went outside with him and we ate a big bowl of mushrooms. I fell asleep and when I woke up he was gone. I thought he had come back..." Luffy's expression changed drastically.

"Missing! Chopper is missing! What are we going to do? How could Chopper disappear? Go find him, go find him!" Luffy shouted and started to search.

"No need to look anymore. I've searched the entire Sabaody Archipelago, but I still can't find Chopper," Martin sighed.

Luffy stopped with difficulty, then turned back to Martin and comforted him, "Don't worry! Chopper is my friend, I'll help you find it."

"Thank you!"

Martin was stunned. He felt that Luffy was exuding a special aura at this moment. Could this be the unique aura of the Child of the World?

"Luffy! Luffy! I heard Chopper is missing, but I have a way to find him!" Chopper called out as he ran over from a distance.

"Chopper, do you have any ideas?" Martin shouted excitedly.

"Hahaha, Chopper! He's Chopper's partner! Why are you looking for Chopper?" Luffy asked quickly when he saw Chopper startled.

“I can smell Chopper, and I can find him by following the scent,” Chopper said, touching his nose.

"Great! How could I have forgotten that? We can find them by smell," Martin said excitedly.

Chopper started sniffing Luffy incessantly, and soon it locked onto Chopper's scent, then began to search for him by following the scent.

"Right here, Chopper's last scent disappeared here."

Chopper suddenly spoke up, saying that their current position was beyond the playing field.

"Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!"

Luffy looked left and right, constantly looking around, when suddenly he saw a vehicle. This was the vehicle that was pushing the mushrooms, and it was right here that he had just woken up.

"What's wrong, Luffy? Did you find something?" Martin asked immediately upon seeing Luffy's behavior.

"I...I remember this place. I ate mushrooms and fell asleep here. That truck is the one that bought the mushrooms," Luffy shouted.

Martin rushed over and began to examine the car, but it was just a simple wooden vehicle with no clues left behind. The surrounding area was also a maze of interconnected passageways, and he had no idea where Chopper had been taken.

"Bang bang bang!"

Martin leaned against a tree and kept pounding the trunk with his fist. He had thought that with Chopper's nose, he would definitely be able to find Chopper, but unexpectedly, the problem was back to square one.

"Chopper, ask around and see if anyone has a particularly heavy voice. Maybe those are the people who kidnapped Chopper," Martin said immediately, a sudden inspiration striking him.

Chopper kept his head down, sniffing the air. After a while, he looked up and said, "I can't tell. There are too many people passing by here. I can't tell which one is the person who kidnapped Chopper."

Martin was disappointed again. Although this place was away from the Adventure King Tournament, it wasn't far away. There were too many people coming and going, so how could Chopper possibly ask?

"What to do, what to do?" Martin's mind raced, his brain working at full speed, trying to come up with a good way to find Chopper immediately.

"Forget it, let's go back! The people who kidnapped Chopper are meticulous; they didn't leave any clues. I think they'll contact me eventually, and then I'll figure out a way to rescue Chopper," Martin said helplessly.

"Oh!"

Luffy was also dejected after hearing Martin's words. Chopper was his food buddy, and sharing food and fighting for food with Chopper was a very happy thing.

"Takoyaki, delicious takoyaki, come and try it, delicious takoyaki."

As soon as Martin and Luffy entered the arena, delicious shouts rang out. Upon hearing the name takoyaki, Luffy's mouth watered uncontrollably.

Luffy had completely forgotten his earlier unhappiness over Chopper's disappearance. For him, there was nothing that meat couldn't solve; if it couldn't, he'd just have another piece.

"ball!"

Watching Luffy rush towards the food stall, Martin looked at the takoyaki thoughtfully, as if he had thought of something, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Rumble balls, takoyaki, Chopper's takoyaki." A light flashed in Martin's mind, and he finally realized what was so special about seeing takoyaki. He remembered that Chopper had a medicine that looked similar to takoyaki, called Rumble Balls, a drug that could activate Devil Fruit abilities.

"Chopper! Do you have a Rumble Ball with you?" Martin asked eagerly.

"Yes, I brought a Rumble Ball," Chopper said shyly, taking his bag off his body and taking out the Rumble Ball.

"How did you know I had a Rumble Ball? I've never used one before." After taking out the Rumble Ball, Chopper realized that he had never used this drug in front of anyone.

"You don't need to worry about that. Can you tell me if eating the Rumble Ball will enhance your nose and make your sense of smell stronger, so you can smell Chopper's scent?" Martin asked impatiently.

"It should work! I haven't tried it!" Chopper said after thinking for a while.

"Let's go try it!" Martin grabbed Chopper and led him to the spot where the smell had disappeared.

"Chopper, where are you guys going? These takoyaki are so delicious!"

When Luffy saw Martin and Chopper running towards him, he immediately called out. When they ignored him, he grabbed a takoyaki ball and followed them, hopping around with big strides while eating it nonstop.

"Alright, Chopper, give it a try," Martin said, arriving at the spot where Chopper's scent had disappeared.

"Alright then! I'll give it a try." Chopper took out a Rumble Ball, threw it directly into his mouth, and started crunching on it.

"Gurgle!"

After chewing for a while, Chopper swallowed the Rumble Ball. The Rumble Ball had an immediate effect, and Chopper looked tense, as if he was adjusting the drug's effects.

"Nose enhancement!"

Chopper shouted, and then his nose instantly grew larger, several times its original size.

After his nose grew bigger, Chopper started sniffing, and soon a smile appeared on his face.

When Martin saw Chopper's smile, he thought he had smelled Chopper's scent and felt a surge of excitement.

"It smells so good, it's amazing! How can it smell so good?" Chopper drooled with a smile.

"Chopper, what are you doing?" Luffy walked over, munching on takoyaki.

Martin then realized that Chopper's strange smell was actually from the takoyaki.

"Crackling and popping!"

Martin moved with lightning speed, snatching the takoyaki from Luffy's hand and stuffing it into Luffy's mouth in one gulp. Then, he pulled Luffy's mouth open and forced the takoyaki down Luffy's stomach.

After the aroma of takoyaki disappeared, Chopper finally smelled the scent again. Although the scent was faint, he could still smell it. Even though Chopper was trapped inside something, there was still an air vent, and there was a faint scent of Chopper in the air.

"Over here, I can smell Chopper's scent. I'm running fast, but the scent is very faint. I wonder if it will disappear?" Chopper said, and started running quickly, rushing towards a certain direction following the scent.

Martin and Luffy quickly followed, keeping pace with Chopper.

Martin increasingly felt that something was wrong. He knew this road; it was the only road to Mary Geoise. He had walked it once before, following Sakazuki. "Could it be that the World Government kidnapped Chopper? But why would they kidnap Chopper?"

"Who are you? This is the Holy Land of Mary Geoise. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!"

Martin and his group soon arrived at a checkpoint, where they were stopped by the guards.

"Get out of my way! I'm going to save Chopper, and none of you are allowed to stop me!" Luffy started fighting without saying a word, already convinced that the people inside had kidnapped Chopper.

"Bang bang bang!"

The guards at the gate were just some minor figures. The World Government and the Celestial Dragons did not expect that someone would directly attack Mary Geoise. These people were easily defeated by Luffy.

Seeing Luffy defeat the people blocking his way, Chopper charged forward again, rampaging through Mary Geoise, and soon arrived in front of a huge castle, the center of world power and the location of the Five Elders.

"Who are you? Stop right now! Don't you know you're going to offend the Five Elders?"

"The Five Elders! It was the Five Elders who kidnapped Chopper!" Upon hearing the guard's words, Martin instantly understood. "So it was you who orchestrated this."

"What's going on? Who's calling us?!"

The five elders of the Power Room looked at each other, unable to understand how anyone in this world would dare to call them that.

"Let's go out and take a look. It's been so long since we've gone out. I'm afraid some people have already forgotten about us."

Martin's shouts attracted the attention of the Five Elders, and many people rushed over to see who was so bold.

Spandam trembled upon hearing the roar. He hadn't expected things to be exposed so quickly. Martin had found this place in such a short time and knew that the Five Elders had kidnapped Chopper.

At the same time, he felt fortunate that he hadn't kept Chopper but had given him directly to the Five Elders. If Chopper were still in his hands, he would be finished. Now he began to pray that the Five Elders would deal with Martin. He believed that if Martin didn't die, he would eventually find out that he was the one who kidnapped Chopper.

"How dare you! You dare call the Five Elders so casually! Guards, seize them!" a guard shouted to the crowd.

At the guards' command, a large group of people rushed out and charged towards Martin and his group, eager to capture them as quickly as possible.

"Rubber machine gun!"

Luffy pulled his hand behind him and launched a rapid barrage of punches forward, the dense array of fist shadows resembling a high-speed machine gun.

"Bang bang bang!"

The guards who had just rushed out the door were knocked back and sent flying in all directions, clearing the area around the entrance.

Martin stepped over the guards lying on the ground and entered the castle. As soon as he entered the courtyard and reached the gate, the castle gate was suddenly opened, and five old men slowly walked in.

As soon as the Five Elders stepped out the door, they were met by a group of guards. Although these guards were just for show, they represented their presence. To dare to hit these guards was tantamount to slapping them in the face.

"Ok!"
