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

The opponent's arrival was so unexpected that he wanted to use his divine gun to stab that damned transvestite, Fon Clay, to death.

What happened to the promise of being best brothers for life?

You damn transvestite, you lie without even thinking!

Crocodile is a user of a Logia-type Devil Fruit, making him someone that cannot be countered by users of the other two types of Devil Fruits or those skilled in physical combat.

As one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the opponent's strength is beyond doubt, far exceeding his expectations.

I'm not Luffy; I don't have the protagonist's halo to help me. To defeat a powerful Logia-type Devil Fruit user without Armament Haki is simply a pipe dream.

Even if he has a Zanpakuto...

"Oh? You seem surprised by my arrival?"

Crocodile smiled and said, "I gave Bon Clay false information. We actually set off a long time ago to give Nico Robin a surprise."

At this point, Joel Robin arrived one after the other, followed by Bon Clay.

When Feng Kelei saw his boss arrive, he immediately showed a surprised expression: "Boss! Why did you come early? This is really a surprise."

Martin glanced at the other person. Old Sand was supposed to arrive in Loguetown in three days, but he ran out tonight. The level of horror was comparable to that of a zombie. It was really a "surprise".

Clearly, Funker had no idea that Old Sha would arrive ahead of schedule.

He said coldly, "Feng Kelei, you translate for me, what does 'surprise' mean? Translate for me, what does 'surprise' mean?"

Feng Kelei: "Translation?"

Martin: "I asked you to translate for me what 'surprise' means?"

Feng Kelei: "No translation needed, this is a pleasant surprise."

Crocodile: "Don't you understand what a surprise is?"

Martin: "I just want you to translate what 'surprise' means!"

Feng Kelei: "A surprise, huh..."

Martin: "Translate this for me! What the hell do you mean by 'surprise'?! What the hell do you mean by 'surprise'?!"

His voice was loud and deafening, leaving Foncray speechless and feeling a strange sense of shame.

Clearly, he knew he had let down this new friend.

"Robinjol, you all leave here first, leave everything else to me."

Martin gave the order.

Before he mastered Haki, he really didn't want to face off against Crocodile, a Logia-type Devil Fruit user. Moreover, Crocodile's Devil Fruit ability was extremely strong, unlike Smoker's useless Logia-type Devil Fruit.

If a real fight were to break out, there would be very few ways to deal with Crocodile. Even if he were to unleash his Zanpakuto, he could only manage a draw against him.

However, his two wives did not leave, but stood firmly by his left and right sides.

"Martin, we are your wives. Sharing joys and sorrows is what husband and wife should do."

"That's right, honey. With the three of us working together, we are ready to fight any enemy."

Robin and Joel stared intently at Old Sand, their eyes burning with fighting spirit.

Although Martin was moved, he had no intention of letting his wives join the war.

Under the influence of his Observation Haki, he could sense the coldness of the powerful figures in the darkness. Besides Crocodile, there were other members of Baroque Works present.

The tall, muscular man with a monk's head was Mr. 1 Daz Bones, a Devil Fruit user with the ability to quickly cut through obstacles, and also a skilled assassin.

Mr. 2 Fung Clay is definitely not on their side, even though he got along quite well with this transvestite.

The man with the word "Ignite 3" on his head and wearing glasses is Mr. 3 Gardino, a user of the Wax-Wax Fruit, with a combat power of approximately 5000 million Berries.

The man who looks like a rock singer and wears sunglasses is Mr. 5, Jem. He is a user of the Blast-Blast Fruit and often attacks others with his snot. His whole body can explode, making him very effective in close combat.

The other short-haired girl holding an umbrella is Michita, Mr. 5's partner. She is a user of the Float-Float Fruit, which allows her to freely change her weight.

That's one we could kidnap...

Although not all members of Baroque Works arrived in Loguetown, almost all of their main combat forces were there.

The extent to which Crocodile values ​​Nico Robin is truly astonishing.

It's worth noting that this level of combat power could easily conquer the entire town of Loguetown.

If I were to fight Crocodile Studios, and I couldn't instantly kill the others, I would definitely be at a significant disadvantage and might even be killed by Crocodile.

Martin himself wasn't afraid, since his Iron Body had been trained to the level of Steel Body, making him thick-skinned and with lots of health, so he could withstand even nature-type attacks. But his wives couldn't withstand that kind of attack.

He couldn't help but sigh softly, "Where is my wife who knows Armament Haki?"

"Nicole Robin, come to my Crocodile Works! You will discover the true history, and no one will ever threaten you again. I, Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, will protect you!"

Crocodile swung his golden hook, extending an invitation.

"I'm sorry, I'm married and have no interest in joining any organization."

Robin watched the other person with great vigilance.

She was well aware of Crocodile's reputation as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, so she crossed her arms, ready to use her abilities to start a battle at any moment.

"Boss, you're useless after all... Let me capture them then."

Gardino stepped forward.

He wore a blue and white striped short-sleeved shirt with a purplish-red bow tie on his upper body, and beige trousers on his lower body, giving him a very artistic air.

In the blink of an eye, his head ignited, and his right hand transformed into a candle-shaped sword, lunging towards Martin, eager to claim the credit.

Snapped!

In the blink of an eye, Galdino was slapped to the ground.

Half of his head and body were shattered by the powerful impact, turning into a white candle, and he saw stars.

Yes, Martin made his move.

Old Sha frowned. Was Galdino really defeated with just one slap?

He originally thought Nico Robin would make a move, but to his surprise, Nico Robin's husband did, and his movements were extremely fast and his attack power was extremely strong. He crippled Mr. 3 with a single slap.

It's clear that Nico Robin's husband is quite skilled in physical combat.

"Let me go!"

Dazboni stepped forward, his arms transforming into two sharp battle blades.

He can be considered the top warrior of the Klock Workshop; as long as he takes action, there is no problem he cannot solve.

In the blink of an eye, Dazboni had already launched his attack, his feet turning into blades as he slid rapidly toward Martin.

cut!

Martin drew his sword and collided violently with his opponent, sparks flying.

In this collision, Senbonzakura directly sliced ​​through the opponent's steel arm, almost severing it completely.

Iron-Cutting Swordsman!

Dazboni immediately covered his arm and stepped back, looking wary: "Nicole Robin's husband is quite capable."

As a user of the Quick-Cut Fruit, Dazbonne can turn any part of his body into a blade at will, giving ordinary punches and kicks the power of blades, since his entire body is made of blades.

Furthermore, he possesses a blade-like physique; his body, including his internal organs, is as hard as real steel. Therefore, not only is he impervious to blades and bullets, but most physical attacks are completely ineffective against him. Bullets and even ordinary artillery shells cannot affect him. In addition, his internal organs are also made of steel; unless steel can be cut or penetrated, he cannot be harmed.

But a swordsman who can cut through iron can wound him!

Therefore, he became wary of Martin.

Moreover, ordinary iron-slaying swordsmen could at most injure him, but could not possibly cut through steel with a single strike, yet his opponent almost severed his entire arm.

That's terrifying!

That's right, this Martin is actually a swordsman!

"Not bad, try this move!"

Martin suddenly swung his knife backhand, slashing upwards: "Let the slash begin!"

Whoosh!

An invisible sword aura sliced ​​through the earth, unleashing a powerful gust of wind that struck the opponent.

The powerful flying slash struck Dazboni, sending him flying backward and crashing into a building with a deafening roar, collapsing the entire stone structure.

"Swordsman!"

"He can actually perform a flying slash."

Such strength impressed and somewhat alarmed everyone at Klock Studio.

Martin felt the surge of power within him and simply smiled slightly.

With the combined boost of his physique and the Vajra bloodline factor, his physical strength and explosive power are far greater than before.

The Flying Slash is no longer the kind that only travels three meters; the effective slashing distance has increased to over fifty meters.

It can easily shatter hard rocks fifty meters away.

"This is really interesting. I was wondering why Nico Robin, the devil's child, would marry so easily. It turns out you're a swordsman."

Crocodile revealed a playful smile, and began to step forward, carefully examining Martin, his killing intent rising and spreading.

Martin also raised Senbonzakura, ready to launch a powerful offensive against Old Sand at any moment.

If all else fails, stain the blade with your own blood; perhaps that will allow you to attack the opponent's main body.

Just when things were at their most critical, a sudden change occurred.

A human head suddenly appeared at the end of the street, flying straight over and interrupting the impending final battle.

"Help! Help! The White Hunter is coming!"

Hearing that familiar voice, Martin realized that the head belonged to none other than Bucky the Clown.

Bucky was running at the very front, and because his feet and body were separated, he was running very fast.

"Bucky, do you want to die? Running around in the streets at night like that, I'll turn you into skewers."

Martin really wanted to slap this guy. Even though it was night, Bucky's clown-like appearance would still attract attention.
