One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 158 Caroline's Forging

"hiss----"

The red-hot sword was placed in the quenching barrel. As the quenching oil churned, the sword quickly cooled down and hardened.

"Tsk, it still doesn't work." Caroline said helplessly as she looked at the longsword she made. Whether it was hardness or toughness, this longsword was the best choice without exception, but it still could not meet Caroline's requirements because the longsword still lacked soul.

"Sure enough, I'm still far behind my master in terms of skills." Caroline reviewed the forging process while sharpening the blade. Although this sword did not meet her requirements, as a swordsmith, completing each weapon carefully was the most basic requirement. After assembling the hilt and inserting it into the scabbard that had been prepared long ago, she placed it on the table. After a while, someone would come to take it away.

"Failed?" Oak Thorin pushed the door open. Perhaps because he had found a new goal in life, in recent years, old Thorin not only did not look old, but became more energetic.

"It didn't work, Master. How do I infuse the soul into the weapon? This time I started from mining and completed it step by step, but there is still no progress." Caroline pouted and asked half-coquettishly. Although old Thorin was only as tall as Caroline's calf, Caroline truly treated this old man who raised her and taught her everything as her father, and every move she made was like that.

“Hahahaha, if it were so easy to do, there wouldn’t be so few weapons called artifacts in this sea. Don’t be anxious, take your time. You can’t rush this kind of thing. You already have a lot of talent. You should know that your master, I’m over 40 years old to have reached your current level. You’ve worked very hard.” Old Thorin sat on his own high stool, looking at his only direct disciple, his eyes full of satisfaction.

"Master, can you tell me again? The minerals in Wano Country are indeed great, but the impurities are also difficult to remove. There are always some tiny impurities that I cannot remove. How do you manage to remove the impurities perfectly every time?" Caroline sat on the ground and looked at old Thorin. After all, only in this way could the two of them maintain a state of eye contact.

"I have told you everything I can tell you about this. The only thing you need is patience, carefulness and experience. You have great talent. With your strength, you can complete a step that others need dozens of times to complete with just one tap. But this also means that you need to be more careful than ordinary people in some details. You need to restrain your strength and complete the work with more precision and at a slower speed."

As the person who watched Caroline grow up, old Thorin can be said to be the person who knows Caroline best. He is well aware of some of Caroline's little flaws, such as impatience, recklessness, restlessness, etc., which do not sound suitable for being a swordsmith. But when Caroline raised the forging hammer, the focused and happy look in her eyes made old Thorin never forget it, and this is also the reason why old Thorin accepted her as a disciple.

"Then I'll try again." Caroline encouraged herself and prepared to start forging again.

"Wait a minute, don't be so anxious. The more anxious you are, the harder it will be to succeed. Take a rest first. Someone is looking for you outside." Old Thorin stopped Caroline with a smile, turned around and opened the door. Dai and Xia Ji poked their heads out and looked inside the door.

"Ah! I forgot about the girls' meeting tonight!" Caroline suddenly remembered that they were going to have a girls' meeting tonight. Dai told her about it early in the morning, but she forgot about it.

"Hurry up, Sister Lily is waiting!" Dai kept waving at Caroline. They had arrived a long time ago, but they heard the clanging sounds coming from Caroline's workshop and didn't want to go in and disturb her. But as time was getting later, the two couldn't help but go to find old Thorin for help. After all, they didn't know how to forge, and no one knew if they suddenly went in and disturbed Caroline and caused some trouble.

"Sister Lily is here too? Wait a minute, let me change my clothes!" When Caroline heard that Lily was also there, she rushed to the inner room, took off her forging clothes, changed into a pink dress and ran out.

"Master! I'm leaving first!" Caroline said goodbye to old Thorin and ran away in a hurry with Dai and Xia Ji.

"This girl, really." Old Thorin shook his head, looking at the fire that had not yet gone out with some helplessness, pushed a chair to the fire, extinguished the flame, put various tools back in place, looked left and right, and after confirming that there was no problem, he slowly walked out of the door, and the lock was not locked. Not to mention whether someone stole things, he simply couldn't reach the lock, so he was powerless to lock the door.

"Why is Sister Lily here too?" Caroline asked Dai as she ran. Didn't they say they were going to have a girls' gathering? Why did they invite Sister Lily over as well?
"Sister Lily heard us chatting. Sister Lily happened to be free, so she came to visit. By the way, Sister Riko is coming too, and Yamato and Maria are too." Dai felt that she was running too slowly, so she spread her wings, grabbed Caroline in one hand and Xia Ji in the other, and flew straight to her destination.

"What about Korra? The one with the female Giant Soldier Pirates?"

"They didn't come. I heard that they were trained numb by Archaon. They all had muscle strains and were hospitalized. Wow, the giants had muscle strains. It's amazing. I don't know how Archaon trained them." Xia Ji shook her head, thinking of the female giants she saw in the hospital before, covering their arms and thighs and groaning. She wanted to laugh but couldn't. "I know a little about this. It's similar to actual combat. The more ruthless you can be, the more ruthless you can be. Anyway, I think Archaon believes in what Kaido said. What if you can't avoid it, you can practice armament color, and if you can avoid it, you can practice observation color. Use your body to feel the power of domineering. Sister Lily's training method is still better." Caroline thought about what she had seen before, and said with a shrinking neck.

"But Brother Kaido's method is faster. King and I didn't know any Haki at that time. After just a few days of training, we could feel it." Dai began to land, and the three of them had arrived in front of the dormitory building.

"Do you think everyone has the same physical fitness as you?" Caroline retorted. The three of them straightened their clothes and walked towards the women's dormitory building.

"You're here. Come and sit down. Riko, stop busying yourself and sit down quickly." Lily said with a smile as she looked at the three people who looked exhausted.

"Wow! Sister Lily will be grilling meat today!" Caroline jumped excitedly. She is definitely a loyal fan of Lily's barbecue.

"If you like it, eat more. I haven't cooked for a long time, and I don't know if my skills have deteriorated." Lily held Yamato in one hand and Maria in the other. Both children can move independently. Compared with the quiet Maria, Yamato is a naughty monkey who will run away if you are not careful.

"Let me help, Sister Riko!" Xia Ji looked at Riko who was struggling to lift a large plate, and hurriedly ran to take it.

"It's okay. I don't know how to cook any big dishes. These are just some snacks to go with wine. You can try them together." Riko said, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

"Very exquisite." Caroline looked at the various side dishes on the plate, especially some in the shape of animals, and for a moment her girlish heart was overwhelmed.

"You guys eat, I'll take a rest. Come, Maria, mommy's going to hug you." Riko sat aside and took Maria from Lily's hands. The two-year-old child was almost as tall as Riko's chest. Every time Riko thought about it, she felt it was magical. How did she give birth to such a big child?

"Sister Riko, your tempura is so delicious. Ah, it's the fried shrimp. It's great. Ah." Dai was not polite at all. She picked up the chopsticks and started to eat the tempura fried shrimp crazily. She likes to eat shrimp and fried food. Tempura fried shrimp is her favorite.

"Eat, eat. Riko and I will sit here for a while and prepare some food for you. We won't disturb you anymore. Just have fun." Lily looked at them with a smile. She also knew that they would not have a good time if she was here.

"No! Sister Lily! You and Sister Riko stay a little longer. If we want to play, it's better to have more people." When Dai heard that Lily and the others were about to leave, she hurriedly stopped them.

"That's right, wait a little longer, wait a little longer." Caroline, with her mouth full of barbecue, said quickly.

"That's right! That's right! Yamato and Maria asked me to take care of them for a while, hehehe." Xia Ji looked at the two little guys with a weird auntie expression.

"You guys, okay, then stay a little longer?" Lily looked at Riko with a smile.

"It's up to you to decide. I'm fine." Anyway, Blake had gone to find Kaido to drink, and he had nothing to do. It would be the same if he stayed there.

"Okay, let's wait a little longer." "Great!" X3.
