One Piece: The Max-Level Blacksmith of Marineford

"Which of you wants to eat?"

Lance and Sherry were shocked to see the Devil Fruit before them.

I'm begging you all to give this a like, write a short review, and if possible, give it a five-star rating.

Chapter 116 The Shield-Shield Fruit Reborn

"Of course, you don't have to eat it. After all, it's a Paramecia type. You know, if you come across a useless ability, it's better not to have it at all."

"After all, eating the fruit will turn you into a landlubber."

"The choice is yours, it's up to you."

Lance and Sherry both fell silent. Consuming a Devil Fruit does indeed carry a high risk, especially if one doesn't know what abilities the Devil Fruit possesses.

However, they all understood the principle that fortune favors the bold.

"I give up. My goal is to become the Gun King. Playing with guns is my way out. Devil Fruit abilities are unnecessary. There's nothing that a Seastone bullet can't handle. If one can't, then two will do!"

Lance suddenly spoke, his tone revealing a sense of pride and arrogance.

Hammer and Sherry were momentarily stunned, as if they were meeting Lance for the first time.

"I didn't realize you were so insightful, Lance. Looks like I'll have to give you some special training."

"For your so-called 'gun king' title, hmm, let me think, what should we train for..."

"Gun King, first of all, you have to be fast and have good stamina. Hmm, tie a rope to you and throw you into the sea, that's it!"

Seeing Iron Hammer arranging his training routine on his own, Lance felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

"In that case, Sherry, do you want some?"

Ignoring Lance's mournful gaze, Hammer turned to Sherry and asked her a question.

Shirley bit her lip first, and then made her choice.

"I'll eat it. I want even stronger combat power to help the navy sweep across this sea."

"Oh? Sherry actually has such lofty ambitions?"

Hammer was startled by Sherry's words, wondering if the girl had been brainwashed by Gion or led astray by Zephyr-sensei.

But seeing the determination in Shirley's eyes, Hammer felt that this might have been her original intention.

"Alright, then let's eat this fruit. Hmm... let's cut it open with a knife. It's all thorns, so it's a bit hard to eat."

After saying that, Hammer took a small knife and handed it to Sherry.

Sherry nodded heavily and, under the watchful eyes of the two, cut open the durian-shaped Devil Fruit and ate it.

As soon as she ate the fruit, her face froze, but she still forced a frown and swallowed it.

Then came the violent retching.

Iron Hammer wanted to laugh at this, and suddenly felt a little fortunate that the original owner of this body had already eaten the fruit when he transmigrated. Otherwise, he would have had to experience this terrible feeling too.

"So, Sherry, what kind of fruit is this?"

Faced with the curious gazes of Hammer and Lance, Sherry first calmed herself down, then closed her eyes to feel the changes within her body. When she opened her eyes, they were filled with shock.

"This ability... it's actually this ability..."

"Shield Shield - Defensive Shield"

Upon hearing the word "Shield," Iron Hammer was instantly shocked.

This ability? He was all too familiar with it!

This was the first ability of the first person with special abilities he encountered on his first voyage to suppress pirates.

Batu, who is known for his cruelty, possesses the Paramecia-type Shield-Shield Fruit.

"I never expected it, Sherry. It's this fruit. It seems that Batu has unfortunately died in Impel Down."

"Only then can this fruit be reborn."

"If the Shield-Shield Fruit is developed properly, it will definitely be a formidable fighting force."

Sherry was well aware of the potential of the Shield-Shield Fruit, having witnessed it firsthand.

"Alright, Lance, keep the course going. Sherry, go and familiarize yourself with the fruit's abilities."

"I'm going to work now. Don't call me until we reach our destination."

After saying that, Iron Hammer pushed the two out of the forging room and began to forge iron by himself behind closed doors.

.

.

"Shield... shield... oh dear, what kind of shields are there?? I can only think of a defensive shield, nothing else."

Although Sherry had seen Batu use the Shield-Shield Fruit, she was not in her right mind at the time and did not remember it at all.

Seeing this, Lance and many other naval soldiers also helped to figure it out.

"As for shields, iron shields? Bronze shields? Steel shields?"

A soldier blurted it out without thinking, instantly drawing eye rolls from the crowd.

"Have you been misled by Lieutenant General Iron Hammer? Why are you only talking about materials?"

"We didn't even know there was an iron shield?"

The chorus of complaints from the crowd gave this guy a real dressing down.

"Ugh, so annoying, shields everywhere!"

Sherry blurted out in a fit of anger, then spread her arms wide.

In an instant, countless small round shields appeared out of thin air and landed all over the deck.

This caused everyone to burst into laughter, and then one by one they began to bend down and pick up the shields.

"I must say, this shield is a bit small, but it's very thick."

"Yeah, we'll have the lieutenant general get us some top-quality knives. Tsk tsk, this combination will be amazing!"

Amidst cheers and laughter, the Warhammer charged straight into the New World.

.

.

The New World, Ridgeride Island.

On the beach.

"Hmph, you government lackeys, are you trying to die by blocking my way?"

Crocodile, the rookie pirate who had fought to a draw with Barrett, was now facing a group of marines. The two leading figures were a man carrying a gun and a white-haired Mink.

It was Lance and Sherry. As for Iron Hammer, don't ask, the answer is still blacksmithing.

As for the two of them, it was Iron Hammer who initiated the communication.

As for Crocodile, he looks to be in his early twenties, with a slicked-back hairstyle and a cape, looking quite imposing.

"Crocodile, we are communicating with you on behalf of the Marine Headquarters to help the World Government perfect the Shichibukai plan and make you the number one Shichibukai."

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

Lance's tone was very flat, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

"Ha...ha...ha...Don't joke around, Navy. Why would I join the Seven Warlords of the Sea? My goal is to become the King of the World!"

"sandstorm!"

Crocodile, young and impetuous at the time, attacked with deadly moves.

A sandstorm instantly swept up and surrounded all the navy.

The little karami behind him excitedly raised their weapons, shouting that they were about to attack.

Are you sure you want to go to war with us?

"Hmph! Just a mere navy!"

Crocodile was utterly disdainful, his hands continuing their work, and the sand began to condense into a tornado.

"Sand, a Logia-type Devil Fruit, no wonder it could fight a monster like Barrett to a draw."

Each of the natural-type abilities is a powerful combat force, which made Lance nod in agreement.

He then shook his head, making Crocodile think for a moment that the man had lost his mind.

But the next second, a very irritable voice rang out.

"Who plays in the sand for no reason? Ugh! That mouthful of dirt!"
