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

Martin smiled and let the two of them try their swords: "I believe you two will experience something different, using your respective strengths in swordsmanship."

rub!

Jason wielded the knife with both hands and used the chessboard-like slash to strike the testing stone. The stone shattered instantly, and the cut blossomed in a flash.

"This...this is a demon sword, a legendary demon sword?"

Jason's body was trembling; he never expected the cut to have such an exaggerated effect.

If this were to cut a person, it would definitely cause them to bloom completely.

Jason's hands trembled with excitement; no one had expected that he would actually receive a knife.

Whoosh!

Django then unleashed the Blackwater Sword at the Sword Testing Stone. Suddenly, the blade grew several meters longer, piercing not only the Sword Testing Stone but also the wall before returning to its original shape.

what?

What kind of knife is this? It can retract freely.

He looked at Martin Martin: "Could it be...could it be that this is also a demonic sword?"

His heart was pounding. He had only heard of the Demon Blade but had never seen it before. He never expected that the Demon Blade was so mysterious that it could work perfectly with his Black Water Sword. He could shoot the Demon Blade several meters away with just a flick of his arm.

Martin smiled and said, "Never mind whether it's a demon sword or not, just take it. It's a gift for you."

Jason and Django were stunned: "Give it to us?"

"Ah."

Looking up at the sky, Martin nodded: "I'll be leaving Orange Town soon... Consider these two knives a farewell gift. Remember my kindness."

thump!

Django knelt down: "Teacher Martin, please accept me as your disciple."

He pursed his lips and said deliberately, "I don't have a teacher. Mr. Martin will be my teacher from now on."

thump!

Upon hearing this, Jason immediately knelt down and said, "Mr. Martin, please accept me as your godson!"

Django: (⊙o⊙)…I didn’t expect you to have this trick up your sleeve.

Without hesitation, he gathered his strength and shouted, "Godfather, please accept my bow!"

Jason shouted back, "Me too! Godfather, please accept my bow!"

Martin shook his head slightly, unable to resist complaining, "I never expected that two knives would be exchanged for two sons. Although, judging by my age, I could have fathered both of you..."

He simply instructed his two adopted sons: "Then you two, go and prepare a ship for me, a ship big enough to sail far away!"

Chapter 91 The Thorn Princess

After completing his mission, Joel did not immediately set off to deliver the goods. The delivery location was in the village of Sirob, and the delivery time was within a week.

Because pirates monopolize the shipping routes and there are no communication ships, the environment in Syrup Village is somewhat complicated. She needs to hire a ship willing to take the risk in order to complete the mission.

Joel was tight-lipped about work-related matters, and Martin didn't ask either.

She was very grateful to Martin for this. She had thought he would ask her more questions, but Martin almost never asked her about work and gave her a lot of trust.

"Let's just hire a boat and go to Xirob Village."

After passing through the market, Joel decided to go to the port to see what ships he could take a gamble on, but he realized something was wrong halfway there.

Under the perception of her Observation Haki, she clearly felt that she was being spied on.

This spying, tinged with a hint of murderous intent, felt both strange and familiar to her.

Looking up, I saw a man squatting on the roof of the house next door.

The man was sticking out his tongue, which was very strange, very long, and his eyes were also very strange, like two protruding light bulbs.

With just one glance, Joel's brows furrowed.

She immediately turned and entered a small alley, where she saw a tall, thin man dressed in a black robe.

His eyes were filled with a sinister light that sent chills down one's spine, and an unbelievable smile played on his lips.

She turned and left the alley, running towards the alley entrance, only to find a short, fat man blocking her way. This short, fat man was ugly, with pustules on his face and a sinister look in his eyes.

Joel turned around again and took a different path.

Instead of running home, she continued on her way until she reached the woods outside the town.

Are there only the three of you?

Standing still, Joel asked.

"Senior Princess Thorns, do you really want all five of us from the Five Poisons Sect to come?"

The tall, thin man at the head of the group smiled slightly and said, "I never expected that you, the top assassin, would choose to live in seclusion in this godforsaken town and be content to be an ordinary woman. It's a huge joke."

"Senju, the three of you are no match for me."

Joel looked at the woman.

In addition, the two of them arrived one after the other.

“The three of us are not what we were a few years ago. Dealing with Princess Thorn is no problem for us.”

The man with fish-like eyes licked his lips and grinned strangely.

"That's right, senior, it's best to surrender."

The short, stout man continued, "Although you are our senior and are known as a legend, you still can't withstand the combined attack of the three of us."

"Ah Hu, Thousand Hands, Hama, the three of you alone are no match for me."

Joel took a deep breath: "No one has stood still in the past two years."

These three were once her defeated opponents; no matter how hard they tried to team up, they could never be her match.

"Senior, enough with the nonsense, let me do it."

Suddenly, the short, stout Hama puffed out his cheeks and spat out a mouthful of thick, yellow phlegm-like substance, which flew straight at Joel.

As Joel dodged to the side, Hama leaped into the air and rammed into Joel with incredible speed.

However, Joel dodged with a paper drawing, and the opponent forcefully smashed the large tree behind Joel, causing it to collapse completely.

Almost simultaneously, the man with bulging eyes moved, and a long, whip-like tail appeared behind him: "Venomous Storm Kick!"

He suddenly kicked out, two powerful kicks coming from his tail and right foot, aimed at Yoel.

Joel spun around, bending his body to dodge the opponent's storm kick with a paper drawing, while simultaneously launching a counter-attack with a storm kick himself.

Qian moved.

He suddenly struck out from behind Joel, then immediately unleashed his signature move, "Thousand Finger Spear!"

In an instant, countless finger guns shot out, like thousands of bullets, creating a phantom.

This is a move suitable for dealing with paper drawings. No matter how well the paper drawing dodges, it is impossible to avoid such a dense attack.

Upon seeing this, Joel immediately retreated, dodging countless finger-gun attacks that riddled the ground with holes. He then used a shave to retreat.

He then kicked Hama in the face, sending him flying. The fat body crashed into a nearby tree, startling many birds.

Without pausing, Joel launched another attack with a shave, delivering a flying kick that struck Ah Hu, who had bulging eyes, in the waist, causing his eyeballs to bulge out and sending him flying a great distance.

With almost no pause, she pushed out with both palms, took a lunge, and as the ground cracked, her palms, carrying the force of thunder, slammed heavily into Thousand Hands' chest, causing him to immediately stagger back more than ten meters, spitting out blood.

In a brief exchange, all three were repelled and injured.

"I've said it before, the three of you are no match for me."

Joel's voice was chilling: "You will all die if you fight me."

"The three of us are enough."

"Senju, the user of the Centipede-Centipede Fruit, greets senior!"

Thousand Hands spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, and his loose long robe instantly shattered, revealing a strange, slender body and many long, strange arms.

With its slender body, countless arms, and insect-like head, it resembles an enormous centipede.

"Ah Hu, the user of the Gecko Fruit, greets senior."

The man with fish-like eyes then activated his Devil Fruit ability, his head transforming into a gecko shape, his body growing larger, and the tail hidden under his buttocks becoming incredibly thick and long.

The other person opened their mouth, and a large tongue twisted and rotated inside, much like a gecko.

"Hama, the user of the Toad-Toad Fruit, greets you, senior."

The short, fat toad's body swelled and swelled, completely bursting through his clothes, and he turned into a huge toad. Of the three, he was the biggest and most sturdy.

Joel remained unfazed: "After several years of training, it seems you have fully mastered the power of Devil Fruits."

She paused, then said, "That's not enough. Only three juniors from the Five Poisons Sect have come. Are you sure the other two, who are my peers, won't join the battle?"

Yes, the Five Poisons consist of five people: Scorpion, Snake, Centipede, Gecko, and Toad. The two most powerful among them did not arrive.

If they followed that person's ruthless habit of exterminating everyone, the Five Poisons Society would mobilize its entire force to deal with this traitor, especially the most powerful scorpions and snakes.

"Who said I didn't come? Haven't I been here the whole time?"

A middle-aged man slowly emerged from the eerie darkness. He was tall and thin, dressed in a suit, with a thin sword hanging at his waist. His whole body exuded a sinister aura, like a scorpion ready to hunt at any moment.

Zheluo!

User of the Scorpion-Scorpion Fruit.

He is also the most powerful among the Five Poisons, and the only swordsman among them.

He is a powerful figure of the same generation as Yor.

Even if the other three used their Devil Fruit forms, they would still be no match for her.

But the man's arrival made Joel frown immediately, and he immediately raised his Observation Haki to its maximum.

Because the other party was the leader of the Five Poisons, an existence no less than hers, and who was once considered her teacher.

"Yol, do you want me to do it myself, or hand over the goods and surrender?"
