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

Croobi stared blankly at the seemingly weak human in front of her, not understanding why the other person was so strong despite being so short.

Martin gave his opponent no chance and suddenly threw a punch.

The fist, carrying a strong wind, sliced ​​through the air, creating bursts of fist energy that all struck the opponent, producing a series of loud bangs.

Croobi couldn't keep up with the pace and took a lot of punches. The powerful punches caused him excruciating pain all over his body, and he couldn't cope at all.

Croobbi was finally knocked back three or four steps by a punch. His muscular body swayed from the impact of the punch, but his strong physique and willpower allowed him to keep swinging his fists to fight back.

"interesting!"

Martin grinned widely.

After sparring with Yor, he became more and more confident in his fighting skills. The seemingly invincible fishman Croobbi was no longer a challenge for him.

I need to have a good fight now, and use this Croobie as my best sparring partner to make up for my lack of practical experience in hand-to-hand combat.

Both boxing techniques and combat skills require real-world experience to hone. The Croobbi fishman in front of him is highly skilled in karate and is a good training partner. The more he fights, the more it will help him.

Martin used iron blocks for defense and his arms could swing freely, giving him a slight advantage in a boxing match.

"Damn humans, they haven't fallen down after taking so many punches from me."

After taking a lot of punches, Croobie went berserk and lunged forward with his mouth wide open.

Fishman Karate!

Croobi unleashed his signature straight punch.

"Too slow!"

Martin swung his hammer-like fist, transforming it into a burst of energy, and slammed it hard into Croobbi's face.

The immense force sent Croobi flying, crashing through the wall of the house behind her.

Snapped!

A large foot stomped down on Croobi's chest.

Croobi quickly got up and dodged.

Want to run?

Martin chased after him and threw a series of punches, his powerful fists colliding with his opponent's fists and producing various explosive sounds.

Although Croobi's punches were powerful, his body was too big and stiff, making him a target with significantly lower accuracy.

As a result, Martin forced him to retreat repeatedly, and he suffered a small loss with each punch exchange. The muscular fishman's body trembled constantly.

Didn't you say you were good at fighting bare-handed as a merman?

Just over ten seconds later, Croobi was at a complete disadvantage, taking a series of punches and almost losing her balance.

it's time!

Take this! A powerful, charged-up iron fist.

Martin arrived, hands raised, eyes glaring angrily, and punched out with both fists, fiercely attacking Croobbi's abdomen.

These two iron fists are also Martin's killing move.

Martin is even more powerful when he is at his peak.

Next, he will try to kill Croobi with his iron fist.

Unexpectedly, Croobi also sensed the danger at this moment, and an unusually powerful fish-man force erupted from his body.

Fishman Karate, strike with the straight punch!

He used all his strength to throw a punch, aiming to kill his opponent with the force to shatter 1000 tiles.

A punch was thrown, creating a powerful explosion in the air.

shave!

Martin disappeared again.

The next moment, Martin's two fists slammed into Croobbi's head, smashing his skull open and sending him crashing to the ground, his red blood staining the earth.

The townspeople who were watching were dumbfounded and stunned.

A full minute passed before everyone cheered, until Croobbi's head was smashed by Martin.

"How is this possible?"

"The fishman Crooby is finally dead."

"May I ask your name, sir?"

When asked this question, Martin replied, "My name is Jason, I'm a pirate, and Alita is my wife."

"Tell the Arlong Pirates that they'll come after me, Jason, for any revenge they seek."

Jason, who was watching the show from the sidelines, was dumbfounded: (キ｀?Д?')!!

Chapter 57 Let's go as we please, the stars in the sky are like the Big Dipper.

Looking at the strange, smiling man opposite her, Nami awkwardly tried to scratch her toes, extremely impatient, her mouth agape.

Thinking of the man's ruthless methods of smashing the fishman, she dared not drive him away.

Just now, this fierce-looking guy named Jason caught up with me after he finished fighting the fishman, and he insisted on following me home.

Under the other party's intimidation, a frightened Nami took him home, and even Ken couldn't stop her.

"Mr. Jason, I hope you won't mind the food. My family is rather poor."

A girl with short blue hair served Martin a plate of orange tarts and a glass of orange juice.

The blue-haired girl was wearing a vest and trousers, and was barefoot in flip-flops. She was quite pretty and looked a few years older than Nami. She appeared mature and composed at such a young age.

She is Nami's older sister, Nojiko, a gentle, kind, cheerful, and enthusiastic girl.

"Thank you, your orange cookies are delicious."

Martin ate the orange biscuits, smiling as he praised Nochigo's cooking.

“Mr. Jason, the oranges from my orange tree are fantastic. Would you like to buy some to take home?”

Nuoqi Gao seized the opportunity to promote its own products.

"Hey, sister, don't talk to him about these things. This man won't buy it."

Nami nudged her sister's arm and whispered a reminder.

"Ahem, then I'll buy them all."

Martin then pulled out a money bag from behind him. The bag wasn't large, but it made the sound of gold coins clinking inside.

After the money bag was dropped, gold coins rolled down one by one; these were genuine Pele coins.

A single gold coin is worth at least 10 Berries.

"Oh? No need...it doesn't cost that much."

Nojiko was stunned and shook his head repeatedly. This bag of gold coins was probably worth 200 million Berries. Why would you need so many to buy a few baskets of oranges?

"So much money, the real money bag was hidden behind my backside."

Nami's eyes lit up as she regretted not having taken the wallet earlier. Suddenly, it dawned on her: "Wait, is this money for us?"

Martin nodded: "Yes, these are for you."

Nami exclaimed incredulously, "You...you really mean this? This amount of money is enough to buy both of us!"

Piracy is rampant, and so is the human trafficking market in the East Blue. A young woman can be sold for 500,000 Berries, while a pretty young woman will not fetch more than a million Berries.

The opponent immediately offered them 200 million Berries, leaving them questioning their existence.

"That's right, actually I don't want to buy oranges, I want to buy both of you sisters..."

Martin gave a wicked smile, revealing his true colors.

These gold coins were obtained from Alvida's treasure chest, and now they're perfect for use.

Ugh?

Nami and Noki stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered.

Although the two women considered themselves beautiful, they also knew that they were just children and not worth that much money at all.

Martin added, "Just kidding, this money is for your moving expenses."

"Moving expenses?"

The two sisters were even more puzzled.

"Yes, I just killed the fishman Croobbi in town. The evil dragon will definitely not let you get away with this once he finds out."

Martin said, taking a bite of the sweet orange tart.

"You killed the fishman Croobi?!"

To Nojiko's surprise, she looked at Nami, only to see her sister nodding repeatedly, which made Nojiko's lips twitch involuntarily.

Who is Croobi?

He is a high-ranking officer in the Arlong Pirates, Arlong's right-hand man, and can kill a person with a single punch. He is vicious and cruel, and regards humans as inferior beings.

If a dragon knew that its right-hand men had been killed by humans, it would be furious.

"Hey, why is the dragon bothering us? It's not like we killed Croobi!"

Nami suddenly realized what was happening.

“My ship is missing a navigator and cannot sail to its destination normally, so you are the navigator I have chosen.”

Martin looked at Nami: "Your dream is to be a navigator and draw a complete world map, isn't it?"

"You want me...you want me to be a navigator?"

Nami's jaw dropped.

Nojiko was also completely bewildered.

Nami's dream of becoming a navigator is known to only a few, but the other party knows it perfectly well.
