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

The sound continued, and along with it, Im's size changed. Im, who was already as tall as a giant, grew rapidly again, like an inflating balloon.

"Ahhh!"

"Ahhh!"

……

As Im continued to grow larger, terrifying screams came from not far away, drawing everyone's attention.

Not far away, the members of the God Guard, who were fighting fiercely with Enel and the others, were convulsing all over, as if they had epilepsy, and they kept shouting.

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, wisps of black lines suddenly floated out from the members of the God's Guard. The black lines slithered slowly in the air like snakes before finally plunging into Im's body.

The black lines emanating from the guards grew thicker and thicker, and their bodies trembled more and more violently. Finally, each of them seemed to be weathered away, turning into piles of black ash that drifted into the air.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Enel, Issho, and the others were startled by the changes in the God Guard. They quickly scurried away into the distance, as if afraid of being infected, keeping a safe distance.

What the hell is this?

Enel dodged several times, then, realizing he had no time, landed next to Martin and asked.

Martin frowned when he heard Enel's question. He had never encountered anything like this in all the time he had been in this world.

Suddenly Martin remembered that Im seemed to have used this method before. That time, it was still imaginable, but not as terrifying as this time. That time, a member of the God's Guard was pierced through by Im's hand and turned into ashes like this.

"Enel might be Im's Devil Fruit ability!" Martin exclaimed upon realizing this.

"Devil Fruit ability!"

When Enel heard Martin say this, he also thought of what had happened before. Ignorance is the most terrifying thing. Now that there was an explanation, he felt much better and no longer had that uneasy feeling.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Martin was about to continue chatting with Enel when suddenly a series of rumbling sounds came, followed by the ground starting to collapse in waves, covering a huge area, making it feel like the entire Mary Geoise was sinking.

"Die! Die!"

Im yelled again, then clenched his fists and rained down punches at Martin.

"Bang bang bang!"

Martin watched as the raindrops rained down on him and tried to dodge, but at that moment, Enel and the others were all standing nearby. He could avoid Im's attacks, but he couldn't guarantee that Enel and the others could do the same.

Without hesitation, Martin unleashed his golden Conqueror's Haki, his body radiating light once more as he charged towards Im's massive fist.

"Boom boom boom!"

Martin's fist struck Im's enormous fist with a deafening roar, followed by a powerful shockwave that swept outwards in all directions.

"not good!"

As Martin's fist collided with Im's, this thought suddenly occurred to him. He realized that because he had jumped into the air to meet the attack, he was somewhat outmatched by Im in terms of strength.

Just as Martin finished thinking, a tremendous force came from Im's fist, and his body was shot towards the ground like a bullet after a loud bang.

"boom!"

Martin felt his body slam into the ground, and then the ground shattered like paper after he hit it.

"what is this?"

After the impact, Martin's body suddenly felt like it had fallen into a deep pit. Strange suction forces came from the bottom of the pit, making his whole body suddenly powerless. He wanted to use Moonwalk to escape, but he couldn't exert any force. On the walls of the pit, something was flashing red.

"Exploding rock!"

Martin suddenly realized what it was. It was a terrifying bomb from the One Piece world. It was said that the explosive power of a single rock was comparable to the power of Hades's attack, and this rock was extremely unstable and would explode as soon as it came into contact with air.

Martin now discovers that these legendary, terrifying bombs are densely packed all over the underground—not just packed, but the entire underground is filled with explosive rock. The power of the explosion is simply unimaginable.

As Martin thought about this, he suddenly remembered his companions above.

"Enel, get everyone out of Mary Geoise!" Martin shouted with all his might.

……

Before Martin shouted those words, Enel and the others were lying on the ground looking down around the crater formed by his attack. Although they were worried, they did not think that such an attack would kill their captain.

"Enel, quickly lead everyone away from Mary Geoise."

Enel suddenly heard Martin's shout coming from the pit. Although he didn't understand what the captain meant, he immediately got up and wanted to tell everyone to leave. Just then, the huge fist came crashing down again.

"do not want!"

"not good!"

"It's over!"

With a single blow from Im, Enel, Robin, and the others, who were originally standing around the pit, also fell into it.

Martin was falling silently when he suddenly saw Enel and the others appear in the air.

"Enel, Robin, Joel... how did you all fall down too!" Martin looked into the air, calling his companions' names as he slowly lost consciousness.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After Martin and his companions fell into the pit, Im didn't stop. He continued to pound the ground with both hands. The solid ground of Mary Geoise, like melting ice, cracked more and more, and more and more blasted rock beneath the cracks was exposed to the air.

"Drip drip!"

Suddenly, a series of beeping sounds appeared above the deep pit where Martin and his companions had disappeared, followed by a person floating in the air and appearing there.

"Program activated! Im's world-destroying power detected! Expel! Expel!"

If Martin were nearby, he would have recognized that the person making the beeping sound was Izz, whom he had captured on the strange island, the one whose voice sounded like a will.

"What's going on!"

As Im continued to pound her fists on the ground of Mary Geoise, she suddenly found herself floating, her enormous body slowly rising into the air.

This situation caused Im, who was in a fit of rage, to suddenly calm down. At that moment, she realized that there was a person floating in front of her.

"Bio-robot Im, by order of your master, your actions will cause the destruction of this world. You are hereby expelled!"

"Impossible! Impossible! Master did create you!" Im screamed in terror at Izhu. She remembered her master telling her that her power was too terrifying and would destroy the world if left unchecked. So he created a robot to limit her power, which was also one of the reasons she joined forces with the Twenty Kings to rebel against her master.

After her master left, she searched the whole world but couldn't find his robot. She thought her master hadn't finished making it, but she never expected to see it today.

"You can't do this! You can't do this!" Im shouted!

"Expel them! Expel them!"

No matter how much Im shouted, the image of Izhu in front of her seemed to repeat itself unconsciously.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As the shouts of expulsion continued to ring out, Im and the ground beneath her suddenly floated up and began to slowly fly upwards. Im seemed to have lost all her strength, and no matter how much she struggled, she could only keep flailing her limbs.

Martin looked towards the Harem, it was time to use Hades' cannon. His Observation Haki suddenly connected with Musiqi: "Fire at me!"

Musiqi shook her head slightly, wanting to refuse, but her fingers moved on their own and pressed the launch button on the Hades Cannon.

A dazzling light streaked across the sky.

"boom!"

A loud bang echoed in the sky, and everyone discovered that a sun had suddenly appeared above them. People all over the world stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at the sky, wondering why two suns had suddenly appeared.

Time slowly passed...

"Master! Huh! Where is Master? Where did Master go!" Yi Zhu called out to her master as she flew through the air.

Surrounding the Sabaody Archipelago, a dense array of ships completely blocked the entire archipelago. Judging from the flags flying on the ships, these vessels belonged to different factions, with the group having the most ships clearly being the World Government's most powerful and violent organization, the Navy.

What's puzzling is that the ships adjacent to the navy clearly fly pirate flags, indicating they belong to the same pirate crew, yet the navy and pirates are anchored together peacefully.

On the Sabaody Archipelago, all sorts of people slowly gathered towards the sea, an incredible sight that sparked everyone's gossip.

A few people in the crowd took out their cameras; they were reporters from various newspapers. They knew there was big news today, but they didn't expect to hear such news so soon after arriving in the Sabaody Archipelago. It was like a cat and mouse playing together.

"marshal!"

Sengoku heard the shout from beside him and replied without turning his head, "What happened to Kuzan?"

"Marshal, I just don't understand why the Five Elders would issue such an order," Kuzan said, looking into the distance. The pirate flags fluttering on the flagpole in the distance looked like smiling faces, mocking him, the Marine Admiral.

Hearing Kuzan's words, Sengoku's face flashed with a hint of anger. In his heart, he felt the same way as Kuzan, wishing he could arrest all these pirates. Since he joined the Navy, he had lost count of how many friends and colleagues had died at the hands of pirates, but as the Fleet Admiral, he could only suppress this impulse.

Sengoku, who was stroking his beard, plucked a hair from it and said, "Kuzan, since the Five Elders have issued such an order, as soldiers we can only obey. I think the elders must have their own plans; otherwise, they will ruin the grand scheme."

Sengoku looked towards the Sabaody Archipelago. Although he said this, he knew in his heart that the Five Elders had gathered so many forces for Martin's Temple of Good and Evil. He knew that the high-ranking members of the Temple of Good and Evil, including Martin, were on the island, which was a rare opportunity for the Five Elders and the World Government who wanted to eliminate Martin and the Temple of Good and Evil.

When Kuzan heard Sengoku say this, he rested his head on one hand and tilted his head to one side. Although he didn't usually care about these things, it didn't mean he was stupid. He had guessed some of the Five Elders' purpose, and since Sengoku didn't want to explain, he didn't point it out.

"Kuzan, have you seen Garp? Is he back?"

Sengoku suddenly felt like something was missing. Then he remembered his old friend, the naval hero Garp. He hadn't seen Garp in a long time; shouldn't Garp be asking him for some senbei at a time like this?

“Garp-sensei! I don’t know either, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him,” Kuzan replied after a moment’s recollection.

"never mind!"

After listening, Zhan Guo shook his head, already used to his old friend's unreliability.

"Marshal, I didn't expect even this one to come this time. She's the kind of person who refused even the World Government's forced conquest! She's known as the most willful of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

Just as Sengoku was deep in thought, he heard Kuzan's startled cry, as if something extraordinary had happened.

Hearing Kuzan's exclamation, Sengoku looked up again and saw a pirate ship being pulled by two Sea Kings speeding towards him on the distant sea.

……

"Hancock, Hancock, get back here right now! We Amazon Lilies can't participate in this kind of thing. It's like gods fighting, and we'll all be torn to pieces!"

"Get out of my way, you old hag!"

Hancock raised her foot and kicked a short old man in front of her away.

"Oh!"

The figure that was kicked away crashed through the ship's wall and flew out of the cabin.

What was unexpected was that the short old man who had been kicked away actually ran back even faster than he had been thrown out.

"Hancock, this is not the time for you to be willful. As the former king, I order you to go back immediately. If you continue to be willful, you will destroy the Amazon Lily!" the old man roared at the narcissistic Hancock.

"Gloriosa! I am the Queen of the Amazon Lily, and I have the right to decide anything. Besides, I am so beautiful, I think even if my kingdom is destroyed, everyone will forgive me!" Hancock made an exaggerated gesture.
