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

Martin glanced at the members of the God's Guard and noticed that they were trembling uncontrollably, as if something terrifying was about to happen and they were afraid of something.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Im let out a scream, then she was lifted into the air, her clothes inflating as if she were being inflated, instantly transforming from a thin woman into a large, fat one.

"Retreat quickly!"

Upon hearing Im's shout, one of the members of the God's Guard suddenly yelled back and quickly retreated into the distance. The other members were also very experienced; they had already retreated into the distance when the man shouted.

"Oh!"

A loud bang was heard, and a member of the God's Guard who was a beat slow to react had just turned around when a fist passed right through his body, leaving him hanging in the air on his arms.

Hehehe!

Another terrifying laugh rang out, and then the person whose arm was damaged withered away at an alarming speed. The last set of clothes floated down from the sky, and the person inside the clothes had vanished without a trace.

As the clothes fell away, Im, dressed in servant's attire, slowly withdrew his arm, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at Martin, Enel, and the others like prey.

When Martin and the others saw Im's state, they realized why the members of the God's Guard were so terrified, fleeing for their lives like mice begging for their cats.

Just as Martin and his companions were pondering this, Im's eyes flashed red, and he disappeared before them.

"Enel, watch out!"

Just after Im disappeared, Martin shouted because, according to his Observation Haki, Im was heading straight for Enel.

Enel heard Martin's shout, and although he didn't know why the captain was telling him to be careful, he still used all his Armament Haki and activated his Devil Fruit ability, forming a thick layer of ice around himself.

"Oh!"

Just as Enel had set up his defenses, a fist slammed into him, shattering the ice in front of him and sending him flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Bang bang bang!"

Enel flew a long way before crashing heavily to the ground, rolling several times before lying motionless.

"Stop, you bastard!"

Seeing that Im hadn't stopped after throwing a punch and was still rushing towards Enel, Martin hurriedly shouted again.

However, he was too far from Enel, and despite his speed, it was impossible for him to stop Im.

Realizing he was falling behind, Martin grew increasingly anxious. Im's bizarre abilities still haunted him, and he felt a pang of regret. He had been too arrogant, actually seeing someone disguised as a woman in front of him and forgetting that she was the world's biggest boss. How could he have commanded the Five Elders' obedience and become the supreme leader of the World Government without power?

"Do not!!!!"

Martin let out a sharp scream, his face contorted in a terrifying grimace. Never before had he wanted to kill someone, to kill that bastard Im, as much as he had this time.

Enel, as one of the earliest members to join his crew and as the first mate, a brother who had shared so many years of life and death, truly acted for the greater good...

"Bang!!!"

Just as Martin shouted, Im's fist slammed down, a thunderous roar followed by billowing smoke and dust that blotted out the sky, obscuring everyone's vision.

"I'm going to kill you, Im!!!"

Martin rushed over at that moment, plunging headfirst into the dust and smoke, followed by a gust of wind blowing him away.

"what!"

"Great!"

"The first mate is alright!"

It turned out that after Martin rushed in, the smoke and dust were blown away by the force of his breath, and everyone saw a burly figure blocking Enel's way. This person was none other than Fujitora Issho.

What surprised everyone even more was that Im's attack, which could have killed the God Guard, was actually blocked by Fujitora Issho.

That member of the God's Guard was someone who could fight them to a standstill; he wasn't an ordinary person. If he were on the high seas, he would definitely be above the rank of Admiral. "When did Fujitora become this strong?" everyone couldn't help but wonder.

After blocking Im's attack, Fujitora looked at his hands in disbelief. His hands were completely unharmed, which he could hardly believe. Although he had instinctively stood in front of Enel, he had actually prepared to die when Im's attack was about to hit him.

Martin, however, did not notice this scene, or perhaps he had only one thought in mind: to kill Im, a thought that shut down his other senses.

Martin stared with bloodshot eyes at Im, who was dressed as a servant. He clenched his fist and threw a punch. The punch brought an unparalleled momentum, which made the air vibrate. The fist seemed to be surrounded by clouds and mist, and it also brought out a series of sonic booms.

Im seemed to sense danger and turned his head strangely, but his eyes looked somewhat empty at that moment.

"Oh!"

Martin's punch landed squarely on Im's head, and to everyone's surprise, Im's head caved in rapidly, and he was sent flying by the force of the blow.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Im's body flew through the air, crashing into the buildings of Mary Geoise like a cannonball, with dust constantly rising from the distance...

"call!"

After Martin was knocked away by himself, his killing intent was released. He exhaled and then thought of Enel, and shouted.

"Enel! Enel!"

Martin shouted a few times and then ran over quickly. When he saw Enel lying on the ground, he picked him up and said happily, "Haha, Enel, it's great that you're not dead. I thought you were going to be killed by Im."

"Captain, Captain, please be gentle! If you keep shaking me like that, I feel like I'm going to die!" Enel coughed up blood as he watched Martin, who was shaking him with a look of glee on his face.

"Sorry, sorry Enel, I was just too happy," Martin said, letting go of her hand and scratching his head.

“That’s good, that’s good,” Martin said, then added, “Enel, what happened to you? How did you get injured by Im’s punch?”

"This! Captain, I don't know either. Im's strength isn't great. I could easily block attacks like this in the past. But just now, the power in my body suddenly became chaotic, my body became weak, and my Devil Fruit ability seemed to be disappearing."

Upon hearing Enel's words, Martin first thought of Seastone, as Seastone grants Devil Fruit users this ability. However, he immediately dismissed the idea, as he remembered that Im did not possess Seastone.

"Enel, how did you block Im's follow-up attack?" Martin thought of Im's fatal follow-up attack again.

"Well, it wasn't me who blocked Im's attack, it was Hercules, it was Fujitora who blocked it for me," Enel said, scratching his head.

After Enel finished speaking, Martin noticed Fujitora standing next to him and smiled.

Meanwhile, Fujitora was still staring blankly at his hands, bewildered as he kept sparring, as if wondering when he had become so awesome.

"Haha, Fujitora Ichisho did a great job!"

Seeing Fujitora's stunned expression, Martin patted him on the shoulder and said...

"The ship, Captain!"

Fujitora smiled blankly and looked up at Martin, then immediately spoke.

"Fujitora, thank you for saving Enel. If it weren't for you, we might have lost a comrade," Martin said sincerely again.

"Captain, you don't need to thank me. Enel is also my partner. It's only right for partners to help each other," Fujitora said with a slightly embarrassed smile.

"By the way, Fujitora, how did you block Im's attack?"

Martin, recalling Im's strange attack, quickly voiced his doubts.

Hearing Martin's question, the others also looked at Fujitora, eager to know the answer as well.

Im's bizarre attack was truly chilling; a living person simply vanished, and they were certain it wasn't a Devil Fruit ability.

When Martin asked him this question, Fujitora was momentarily at a loss, because he didn't know how he had blocked the attack.

"I don't know how the captain blocked Im's attack. I just parried it, just like before."

"I was prepared to be killed by her, but who would have thought that Im's attack didn't have much power at all," Fujitora said, scratching his head.

When everyone heard Fujitora's answer, they were all stunned. They had considered many possibilities, but they had never expected it to be like this.

Martin frowned after hearing Fujitora's joke, and began to think. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it might really be related to Devil Fruit abilities.

He considered the states and strengths of Enel and Fujitora. If there was any difference between them, it was that one was a Devil Fruit user and the other possessed a defensive technique; otherwise, they were almost identical. Furthermore, the situation Enel was in when attacked was very similar to that of a Devil Fruit user encountering Seastone.

The God's Guard, a few people stood on a distant rooftop, each with a look of fear on their faces. Although they had escaped, they were still shaken. They couldn't remember how many of their companions had perished because their god had suddenly gone mad and been devoured.

"That stupid toad, it didn't even know to escape when the god was hungry. It deserved to die. Being eaten by the god is its blessing."

Just as this person finished, a collision sound suddenly came from afar.

"Oh!"

"Oh no, God! God is under attack! We must go and see!"

Upon hearing the sound of the bombardment, another guard shouted, but after that, the group looked at each other and none of them made a move.

They were all still terrified by Im's brutality. Anyone who dared to approach her at this moment would only face one outcome: death, and not just a mutilated corpse, but a gruesome one.

"boom!"

Just as the members of the God's Guard hesitated, a violent explosion suddenly occurred at the spot where Im had been shot down in the distance. A huge mushroom cloud rose from there with a loud bang, just like a small atomic bomb exploding.

Through the firelight, a figure was slowly approaching. The figure walked unhurriedly, and as she moved forward, various objects around her scattered and flew away as if pushed aside by a huge force. This person was actually Im, whose head had been half-flattened by Martin, yet she was still alive.

Martin and his companions were also startled by the commotion. Although they were standing at a low position and could not see Im approaching, his astonishing aura was overwhelming, making them look solemn.

"Im is not dead!"

"You all retreat!"

Martin frowned, then turned sternly to Enel and the others.

The others didn't stand on ceremony either, knowing that Im was someone they couldn't handle, and after Martin finished speaking, they all began to retreat.

"Boom boom boom!"

Not long after Enel and the others retreated, several violent impacts were heard, and gusts of air made it impossible for Martin to open his eyes.

Martin quickly unleashed his inner energy to block the dust blown by the wind. Although he was physically strong and impervious to swords and blades, it was still very uncomfortable to have sand in his eyes.

"Giggle!"

After a few gusts of wind, a strange cry came, and then a person with half a head appeared in front of Martin. Who else could this person be but Im, whom Martin had just knocked away?

Seeing Im in this state, Martin sighed inwardly. The world of One Piece is truly bizarre. Even with only half a head left, he's still alive and his aura remains undiminished, as if the head isn't even his own.

With only half a head remaining, Im looked even more ferocious, and his remaining eye blazed with hatred and fury, as if he were seeing the mortal enemies who had killed his father and mother.

"Giggle!"

Im emitted another strange sound, then said, "Boy, hahaha, you really are my good young master, you actually ruined my face. Do you know that this face was carefully crafted for me by my master, it's the face my master is most satisfied with. Unforgivable, unforgivable! Even if you have the same bloodline as my master, you will pay the price, die!"

Im roared and charged toward Martin, emanating an even more terrifying aura than before.

Seeing Im's two fists attacking him haphazardly, Martin didn't hesitate and charged towards Im.

"Bang bang bang!"
