One Piece: The Max-Level Blacksmith of Marineford

Zefa closed the notebook with satisfaction.

Iron Hammer froze on the spot, and the next second, he delivered a righteous and stern speech.

"No, Professor Zephyr, the Navy believes in equality for all, I can't be an exception!"

"As a role model for us, although I am not as good as Sakazuki and others, my awareness is absolutely not a problem."

"If word gets out, what will others think of me? So I'll also aim for 50 million."

Zefa dropped his cigar, and his lips twitched uncontrollably.

The right hand holding the cigar began to slowly turn black.

Without hesitation, Iron Hammer, having mastered all six secret techniques, vanished from his spot with a single shave.

It crashed through the window with a loud "crash".

"Damn little bastard."

Zefa cursed angrily, but then burst out laughing.

It seems his worries were unnecessary; the hammer was still the same hammer, the hammer that could drive you crazy.

Hammer ran out of the office building, greeted the guards at the arsenal, and then went to his workspace.

This workshop was applied for by Teacher Zefa specifically for him, where he can forge iron to his heart's content.

Of course, this only applies to nighttime.

"Graduation exam... damn it, if I could, I really wouldn't want to go to sea."

Iron Hammer put gloves on his hands but did not pick up the hammer.

After nearly a year of research, he discovered that to trigger the critical strike bonus, he had to forge it himself using his Devil Fruit ability; using any external force, such as a forging hammer, would prevent it from being triggered.

So he decisively abandoned all forging tools and wore only a pair of gloves.

Looking at his status on the panel left by the system, Iron Hammer felt somewhat helpless.

Name: [Iron Hammer]

Age: [19]

Dao Power Value: [3100]

Devil Fruit: [Paramecia Type - Hammer-Hammer Fruit, Development Level: 40%]

Armament Haki: [Awakening Level: 60%]

Observation Haki: [Awakening Level: 30%]

Conqueror's Haki: [If nothing unexpected happens, you'll never unlock it in your lifetime. You're a lazy bum!]

Hmph, so what if I'm a salted fish?

I'm a salted fish and I'm proud of it!

My life goal is to become the Navy's Minister of Logistics, so that everyone has to do what I say!

He closed the panel and began to ponder.

To improve my chances of passing the graduation exam.

Yes, Hammer plans to create a series of attribute items to help him pass the test.

Just do it.

The sound of hammering rang out instantly...

A few days later, at the training plaza.

Zefa looked at the nearly one hundred students in front of him with a serious expression.

Today is the day the assessment begins. Zefa is well aware of what the assessment means, and he is also very clear about what will await these trainees once they sail into the open sea. But if they want to draw their swords, this is an inevitable process.

"Today is the day the assessment begins."

"I think you should have some understanding of the assessment content."

"A hunting trip at sea, lasting one month."

"Within this month, each of you must capture a pirate with a bounty of over fifty million to pass the test."

"Of course, this is for your assessment. For the current number one, Iron Hammer, his assessment amount is a bounty of one hundred million Berries."

The assessment content was simple and clear, but everyone present felt a sense of unease.

Iron Hammer also fell silent, a rare occurrence for him.

It's 1490 now, and we'll be entering 1491 soon.

The 50 million at this time is different from the 50 million at Wang Lufei's time.

Not only is the gold content excessive, but the pirate quality is also ridiculously high.

Of course, this applies to ordinary people; Iron Hammer completely forgot his own predicament.

Since the three monsters left, he has become the pinnacle of this generation. With 3000 Dao power points and mastery of the Six Styles, as long as he doesn't act recklessly, ordinary bounty hunters with bounties of over 100 million can't do anything to him.

Hammer: Hmph! You old bastard, you're ruthless!

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, and they looked at Iron Hammer with admiration.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

After all, it's twice as many as theirs.

"Regarding your preparations for going to sea, I have divided you into eleven groups."

"The list is distributed as follows: Brannew, Auus... one group."

"Terenga...Group Two"

.

.

"Iron Hammer, Group Eleven."

"Everyone, go to the port and get ready."

Everyone was shocked, and Iron Hammer was dumbfounded.

"No, Professor Zephyr, am I going out to sea alone?"

Iron Hammer asked directly what was on his mind; he couldn't believe that Zephyr would do such a cruel thing to him.

"Huh? Of course not, why would you think that, Iron Hammer?"

“You’re a blacksmith, and a Devil Fruit user at that. How could I possibly let you go out to sea on your own?”

Zefa's words warmed Hammer's heart.

As expected, Professor Zephyr still loved him.

The result is the next second.

"Didn't you already learn Moonwalk? It's not far from here to Sabaody Archipelago, you can just jump over there."

Hammer: ...Damn it, you said it too early. That old bastard never intended to shut up...

Looking at Zefa's smug expression, if Iron Hammer weren't unable to beat him, he really wanted to give him a good beating.

Let him know that a blacksmith's hammer costs forty for a small hammer and eighty for a large hammer!

"Alright, your ship is ready in the port. You can go there now."

"By the way, come here so I can check you. Because of your special abilities, I don't allow you to bring any items during the assessment."

Sure enough, what Hammer feared came to pass.

Unfortunately, our Tie had already anticipated this scene. He had nothing on him, not even his clothes, which were just the most ordinary navy uniform, and he wore a pair of fingerless gloves, that was all.

Zefa searched around and found that Iron Hammer had indeed not brought anything, so he was relieved.

Little did they know, how could the clever Hammer not cheat?

In the end, Iron Hammer went to sea alone, without boarding any warships.

Zefa specially prepared a speedboat that looked pretty good for him.

That was enough for him to get to Sabaody Archipelago. As for how he sailed the seas afterward, that was none of Zepha's business.

Looking at the cratered speedboat in front of him, Iron Hammer felt like crying.
