One Piece: The Max-Level Blacksmith of Marineford

He instructed Lance to put all the materials aside, then turned and went to the armory to retrieve his tools.

Modifying a ship is much more difficult than forging a weapon.

First of all, the steel behemoth itself is of extremely high quality, so there are very high requirements for the materials to be selected if processing is to be carried out on this basis.

That's why Iron Hammer found a bunch of rare materials.

He was prepared to refine the steel behemoth itself, modifying it to perfection.

Just do it.

"Duang!"

The sound of hammering left the arsenal, but began to echo in the shipyard.

With safety as the primary concern, the collision resistance of the hull is definitely crucial.

Therefore, the hammer chose to first forge the steel. The combination of wrought iron, iron ore, and diamond gave the steel extremely high hardness.

Although this special steel is extremely strong and difficult to process, in the hands of a hammer wielding fire and hammering power, it is nothing more than a slightly harder toy.

These steel plates are then processed and cut into long strips of uniform size.

This allows it to be well covered over the original hull.

As for the timber such as decking, Hammer used high-quality Yarchiman mangrove wood and added some tin and iron to reassemble it, and each plank was inlaid with an iron edge, making it look extremely beautiful.

Speaking of this Yarqiman mangrove, it was a treasure that Iron Hammer found in the warehouse. The enormous roots must have been collected from Sabaody by his predecessors. Now it all came to Iron Hammer's advantage.

While Iron Hammer was processing materials, Sherry's recruitment was also successfully completed.

With the support of Marshal Kong and others, the 400 people were quickly assembled.

These people all knew of Major General Iron Hammer's reputation and came here because of him.

"Brother, the soldiers have been recruited. What's next?"

Iron Hammer had already planned out the arrangements for these soldiers.

After all, it's a pipe dream to expect someone to handle such a massive steel behemoth on their own; manpower is simply unavailable.

"Shirley, get all the soldiers over here to help with the modifications."

"First, help with the disassembly. Take apart everything except the hull frame, little by little. I need to slim down the entire hull."

Upon hearing Iron Hammer's command, the 502 men began to work, quickly dismantling the luxurious steel behemoth into a skeleton.

Then Iron Hammer took matters into his own hands. Under the sparks of the heavy hammer, the skeleton began to turn red, and then he used powerful hammer blows to directly slim down the ship's skeleton.

Furthermore, the hammer reinforced the frame a second time, making it even stronger.

"Hammer, and then what?"

The place has been demolished to this extent that there is absolutely no way to retreat.

"See those steel pieces? The soldiers are divided into five groups. Three groups of soldiers carry them onto the deck, and then they are installed onto the hull one by one."

"Just install it, I'll take care of the rest of the processing."

"The other two groups went to install the wooden planks, removing all the original planks and replacing them with the new planks I prepared."

Shirley nodded and began directing the soldiers to their work.

For more than ten days in a row, Iron Hammer and the soldiers were carrying out a major overhaul of the warship.

Various rare materials are transformed into various strengthening materials.

The entire ship, from bow to stern, underwent reinforcement and refurbishment.

Finally, on the seventeenth day, the warship was completed.

"This is the car I've always dreamed of!"

Iron Hammer was all black, revealing a set of white teeth, and he was smiling very happily.

The soldiers were all dirty, but their eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation.

The steel behemoth before them had changed drastically.

The warships, which were originally predominantly blue and green, have been changed to silver-white.

It is still entirely silver-white, and the shimmering silver-white color is all due to the special steel.

After all the steel plates were loaded, the hammer began the hammering process.

After three days and three nights of relentless hammering, that familiar and exciting voice finally appeared.

[Ding! Critical Strike Chance triggered.]

[This grants the modified warship (steel behemoth) a 50% increase in defense, a 50% reduction in weight, and a 50% increase in power.]

With this attribute, the silver-white steel behemoth was instantly transformed, and although it looked heavy, its power was outstanding.

"Iron Hammer, isn't this color a bit too flashy?"

Lance's tired eyes gleamed with excitement, but he was still somewhat worried.

"Show off? Don't be ridiculous. Just look at the steel plates on my warship, those little Karami wouldn't dare to come near!"

"I even gave it a resounding name!"

Upon hearing this, Lance instantly became curious.

"what name?"

"The majestic and invincible Warhammer! I'll find some black paint to write it on later."

Iron Hammer was full of confidence.

Lance:.......

The majestic and awe-inspiring appearance of the magical cat...

"Let's forget about it. It looks quite nice all silver-white. It won't look good if you paint it black."

"What about weapons?"

To prevent Iron Hammer from doing anything heinous, Lance quickly changed the subject.

When the topic of weapons came up, Iron Hammer looked somewhat sullen.

Most of the weapons were destroyed along with the small warship.

"Let's take our time with the weapons. If all else fails, we can go to the North Sea and find Judge. Given my relationship with him, getting him to provide some supplies shouldn't be a problem!"

Iron Hammer was unaware that Judge had regained his memories, but to be fair, Germa's weaponry was indeed advanced.

"Furthermore, there's also Punk Hazard. Vegapunk's weapon craftsmanship should be quite good too."

"That's settled, Lance. Get the soldiers on board! First, sail the ship to the harbor, then prepare to depart for Punk Hazard!"

And so, a silver-white warship slowly sailed into the harbor of Marineford.

Countless soldiers were drawn to the warship.

"Wow, silver-white, it looks so luxurious."

"It's so dazzling in the sunlight!"

"Whose car is this? It's so extravagant!"

The various whispers among the naval soldiers rose and fell.

This news also reached the ears of the higher-ups.

"Alright, stop gathering here and go do what you're supposed to do."

The Warring States period was ordered to inspect the port, and upon entering, they began to disperse the assembled soldiers.

He then focused his gaze on the silver-white steel behemoth.

Just then, Iron Hammer walked in from outside, carrying a bunch of blacksmithing tools in his arms, which he had brought from the dock to put on the ship.

"Hey, Sengoku-san, isn't my ship nice?"

Sengoku looked at the filthy Iron Hammer and unconsciously took a step back.

"Is this your boat? How did it get like this?"

"I was afraid I would encounter a terrible enemy on my next voyage, so I forged the steel behemoth."

"How is it? Does it look good?"

Zhan Guo nodded. It must be said that the craftsmanship of the iron hammer was excellent; each steel plate was exquisitely crafted and looked imposing.

But he soon showed a hint of doubt.

"It must have taken a lot of materials to modify the entire ship, right?"

"I think these steel plates are made from iron ore at the very least. Where did you get so many materials?"

Faced with Zhan Guo's doubts, Tie Chui revealed his white teeth and chuckled.
