One Piece: The Max-Level Blacksmith of Marineford

Zephyr rarely supported Iron Hammer, which made Iron Hammer feel very pleased.

In fact, Iron Hammer has always been a great role model for Zeff.

It would be even better if it weren't so salty.

.

.

"Brother, I'll be by your side from now on. My electric shocks can now generate direct current, which I think will be helpful for your forging, right?"

After the battle, Hammer took Sherry back to their lodgings.

After a year of training, Shirley has transformed into a very standard female naval officer.

"Put the forging aside for now. Spend the next few days getting to know Lance better, and then we'll be setting sail in a few days."

"Hmm? Setting sail? Where to?"

"Punk Hazard".

.

.

Three days later, in the general's office.

"Hey, Sengoku-san, who's this little bean sprout?"

Iron Hammer arrived at the Warring States office with an application in hand, only to find a blond child inside.

He thought to himself: Judging from the current time, this child...

Don Quixote Rosinante...

“Iron Hammer... I met this child by chance a few days ago when I went out to sea to chase Bundy Wald. He is now my adopted son, Rosinandi.”

"Rosinandi, this is Major General Iron Hammer from headquarters."

A rare hint of tenderness appeared in the general's eyes.

Eight-year-old Rosinandi looked at the three-meter-tall, muscular, bear-like iron hammer with a hint of fear on his face.

This left Hammer in a very awkward position.

"Sengoku-san, I need to go to Punk Hazard. You promised me before that I have priority access to the Ministry of Science and Technology."

Sengoku took the document handed to him by the hammer and glanced at it.

He looked at Iron Hammer with slight surprise and said:

"You're a rare find, kid, actually taking the initiative to go out to sea."

“But Punk Hazard has only been established for a short time. Currently, apart from the Seastone technology, other technologies are not yet perfected. I estimate that you would be wasting your time going there.”

Iron Hammer shook his head indifferently, indicating:

"I went there specifically for Seastone. The reason I blew up the arsenal before was because Seastone and forging materials couldn't be fused together."

"As the hardest known mineral, I must incorporate sea stone into my forging."

This is Iron Hammer's honest opinion. Even he can only make limited use of the Seastone's craftsmanship. Although the Ice Nightmare Han Sword was successfully forged, it was not forged using real Seastone, but rather using steel plates that he had endowed with abilities.

If we actually use seastone, it's hard to say whether it will be successful.

After listening, Sengoku nodded and then signed Iron Hammer's form, agreeing to his departure.

"Iron Hammer, a few days ago that bastard Wald sank several of our warships, and even Vice Admiral Soli was seriously injured."

"You must be careful on your way to Punk Hazard."

Hammer nodded; he knew Bondi Wald quite well.

He's a complete scoundrel; anyone who dares to stand in his way, no matter who they are, will be sunk.

"Okay, then I'll take my leave, Sengoku-san, bye-bye, Rosinante brat~"

After leaving Sengoku's office, Iron Hammer did not go directly to the port to prepare for departure.

Instead, they knocked on the door of Lieutenant General Tsuru, the Chief of the General Staff of the headquarters.

"Enter.."

"Lieutenant General Tsuru, I'm here to see Gion."

Hammer pushed open the door and saw Lieutenant General Tsuru dealing with a mountain of documents, while his target, Gion, was sitting on the sofa on the other side.

Both the crane and the garden were startled.

In the former's memory, Iron Hammer spent most of his time in the forging workshop and rarely went out to headquarters.

The latter, however, looked at the hammer with great curiosity.

"Oh? Iron Hammer, you were looking for me?"

"Hmm, I'd like to borrow your Kinpira."

Upon hearing this, Gion's previously curious expression instantly darkened.

For a swordsman, nothing is more important than his sword.

It could be said that the sword at their waist was everything to them.

"What are you going to do? Kinpira is my beloved sword."

Iron Hammer understood, and immediately shared his thoughts.

"I know that Kinpira, one of the 21 Great Grade Swords, is definitely a famous sword."

"It is also one of the best swords in the headquarters at present."

"As you know, I am a blacksmith, and you have seen the Ice Nightmare Han Sword. I would like to compare the two swords and see if the sword I forged can rival the Great Sword."

After hearing what Tiechui said, Zhiyuan's face showed a hint of realization.

During the battle, she discovered the extraordinary nature of the Ice Nightmare Han Sword.

“Okay, if it’s just a comparison, I can lend it to you, but you have to do it where I can see you.”

"Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll damage my Kinpira, after all, you're the ruthless person who blew up the arsenal."

Hammer: ...That was just an accident!

"Hehehe, it seems that Gion is quite fond of the sword you mentioned, otherwise she wouldn't have accepted this request."

Ms. He put down the documents in her hand and smiled slightly.

After all, she watched Gion grow up, and the Kimbira was a gift she gave to Gion.

No one understood the significance of Kimbira to Gion better than her.

"In that case, why don't you let me take a look? I'm also very curious about the weapon you forged, Iron Hammer. It seems to have reached the level of a famous sword."

"Alright! Iron Hammer, wait for me a moment. I'll go get a few people to watch together. Don't worry, they are all skilled swordsmen like me, and I believe they also want to see this result."

Once they agree, things will be much easier. As for how many people will watch, Iron Hammer can't be bothered to care.

After all, in his previous life, when he participated in a major competition, there were millions of spectators watching him, and he wasn't nervous at all!

.

.

The Armory, a special forging workshop exclusively for Iron Hammer.

The forging room, which originally belonged to Iron Hammer alone, was now bustling with activity.

Almost all of the second generation of elites, led by Gion, were present.

After all, most of the navy personnel nowadays use swords.

Ms. He was the only person at the higher level, and she did not notify anyone else. After all, this matter could be big or small, and it was enough that she was there to witness it.

Warring States Period: ....Little Crane...

Zephyr: ...Why!

Old Man Kong: ...My old cotton-padded coat is leaking now....

"Konpira is hard in texture, but incredibly resilient..."

"Hmm... excellent balance, smooth blade, nail-like blade pattern..."

"Oh? The forging technique can distribute the force so evenly across the entire blade... this forging technique..."

"Truly worthy of being one of the Twenty-One Great Swords..."
