One Piece: The Max-Level Blacksmith of Marineford

Upon hearing the name Lance, the Mafia member showed a hint of panic, but it quickly disappeared, replaced by a ruthless expression.

"Hmph, who do we have here? It's that bastard Lance's sister. If I remember correctly, your name is Tina, right?"

"I'm telling you, Lance has left! No one will protect your town anymore!"

"The Florence family will rule this place sooner or later!"

The girl named Tina, hearing the mafia's shouts, showed a hint of anger on her face and wanted to fight again, but was stopped by the village chief standing by.

"Let them go, Tina, be a good girl."

Tina looked at the village chief in disbelief.

"Uncle Village Chief, it's them!"

"It's alright, Tina, let them leave."

"All right..."

Left with no other choice, Tina deactivated her Devil Fruit power. Yes, Tina is a Devil Fruit user, specifically the Paramecia-type Cage-Cage Fruit.

It can create barriers from anywhere on its body to imprison enemies, and these barriers are even harder than steel.

"Hmph, you're lucky you know what's good for you! Just wait, the Florence family will definitely want you..."

"What do you want them to do???"

Just as the Mafia member was making his threats, a somewhat lazy voice suddenly rang out, interrupting him.

A three-meter-tall, towering, dark-faced, burly man appeared behind him.

"I want...I want..."

The surging momentum, like a monstrous wave, swept in, as if it would devour the entire world, leaving the little Karami speechless with fright.

"With this kind of character, you want to be a member of the Mafia? Go away."

The newcomer was none other than Iron Hammer. He reached out and grabbed the collars of the two little karami with both hands, then casually tossed them behind him. The two flew away in parabolic arcs through the air.

The vanished figure left behind two bright starlight in the sky.

"Lance, it seems your hometown is not in peace."

"It's different from what you said."

Lance?

The village chief and Tina's eyes lit up.

Two people slowly walked out from behind Iron Hammer; they were Lance and Sherry.

None of the three were wearing military uniforms. Hammer and Lance were wearing very casual shorts and short-sleeved shirts, while Sherry was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a short skirt.

Wow! A little girl with pink hair!

Since witnessing Kolokodar's drastic increase in her fondness for beautiful women, Sherry instantly erupted upon seeing the pink-haired loli.

A flash of white light, and the pink-haired loli was already in her arms.

"Let me go! Who are you! Brother Lance, save me!"

Oh my? Brother Lance?

Is it still pink-haired? And look at the pile of black iron rods over there.

Is this the future Black Prison Tina?

Iron Hammer squinted and looked Lance up and down, making Lance feel embarrassed.

"Tina, it's alright. This is Lieutenant General Iron Hammer and Lieutenant Colonel Sherry."

Tina was instantly surprised when she heard the word "hammer".

"One of the legendary rising stars of the Navy, Vice Admiral Orn Hammer? Wow! So this is what you look like!"

"But why is it so dark..."

Tina was initially very excited when she heard the name Iron Hammer, but then her expression became somewhat downcast.

Hammer: ? ? ? ?

"No, girl, what's wrong with the dark spots? It's not my skin color, it's from the smoke from forging iron."

"I've made up my mind. I'll go see Lieutenant General Tsuru when I get back."

Upon hearing this, both Sherry and Lance became curious.

"What do you want with Lieutenant General Tsuru?"

"She's a user of the Wash-Wash Fruit! I'll ask her to wash my face, and I promise I'll wash all this black stuff off!"

Lance: .....

Sherry:...

Tina: .....

What he said makes a lot of sense, but why does it still feel so strange?

The village chief, standing to the side, was filled with excitement the moment he saw Lance.

"Lance, you're back."

"Village chief, I'm back."

"Good boy, you've gotten even stronger! Good, very good!"

Lance looked at the village chief with equal excitement.

Led by the village chief, the group entered the town of Youle, the place that had nurtured Lance.

"So, after I went to headquarters, these bastards started exploiting the village?"

After listening to the village chief recount what had happened over the years, Lance's muscles bulged with anger.

He began to tremble with anger.

Tina, standing to the side, was even more furious. Although she was a power user at the young age of ten, her strength was still too weak to protect the village's safety.

But when Tina saw the dignified Iron Hammer sitting upright, her eyes lit up again.

"But with Master Iron Hammer here this time, even if the head of the Florence family comes, he definitely won't come out on top! Isn't that right, Master Orn!"

Iron Hammer: ....Did I suddenly gain a fan?

"Uh, am I that great? I'm just a lowly lieutenant general, nothing special."

These words made Lance and Sherry's lips twitch.

He was just a junior lieutenant general.

This is the backbone of the navy, how can you say it's so worthless?

"Alright, since we're here, let's deal with this. Lance, Sherry, we'll go to the capital later and find the patriarch of the Florence family."

Bashu Kingdom, Bashu Royal City.

"I have to say, this country is quite prosperous."

As Iron Hammer walked down the main street of the royal city, he couldn't help but show a hint of surprise at the bustling scene around him.

"Of course, the Kingdom of Bashu is a very wealthy country in the Western Sea."

"Even the Flower Kingdom can't compare to the Kingdom of Bashu in some ways."

Lance is still very proud of his hometown.
