One Piece: The Max-Level Blacksmith of Marineford

Monkey was originally going to work with Lance, but he was called back by a phone call, which made him furious.

I felt very guilty towards my brother Lance and sister Sherry.

.

"Iron Hammer, is this really a good idea? Not telling them you're back?"

“What’s wrong with it? Let me tell you, I was doing just fine in Dressrosa, if it weren’t for… never mind.”

The thought of Scarlett gave him a headache. She had only forged a weapon, but ended up getting herself into trouble. What a mess!

"I'm going to see Professor Zephyr. Don't tell them about me; I'll give them a surprise later!"

With a wicked grin on his face, Iron Hammer jumped off the ship before it even entered the dock and he could put on his invisibility hat, heading straight for the recruit training camp.

The soldiers were left speechless; they had thought Lieutenant General Garp was already quite speechless.

It seems their vice admiral is evolving along Garp's path; alas, the future looks bleak.

Hammer: Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could I possibly become like that old man Garp!

.

"Damn it! What a bunch of weaklings! I only asked you to run 1000 laps, and not one of you could even finish!"

"Ah! You are the worst class I've ever taught!"

"It's a good thing Iron Hammer isn't here! Otherwise, I would have had Iron Hammer smash you all into the ground!"

"Shuzo! What are you looking at! Give me that Gatling gun and mow them down!!!"

"Cough cough cough...."

Zepha was absolutely a raging lion king at this moment, looking at the group of lion cubs with uncontrollable fury.

The fifth elite training camp was held as scheduled. The participants were also elites, but unfortunately, they encountered Zephyr, who had lost his beloved student and son.

"Yes, Teacher Zefa."

Xiu Zuo, originally a member of the fourth cohort, was quite capable. However, after graduation, he did not go elsewhere for an appointment. Instead, he stayed at the training camp with great determination to help his mentor train new students.

Zefa couldn't refuse him, so he agreed.

"Run! Only 1000 laps! You cowards!"

"Thumbs up!"

"See that little dark room down there? Anyone who doesn't finish will have to go inside! I'm telling you, behind that little dark room is Magellan's poison gas from the previous cohort! Going in will absolutely make you wish you were dead!"

As a fellow student, Xiu Zuo had definitely experienced the power of Magellan gas firsthand. Tsk tsk, he never wanted to experience that feeling again.

Upon hearing this, all the trainees were instantly terrified; they certainly knew Magellan's name.

The user of the incredibly powerful Venom-Venom Fruit is said to have specifically traveled to Impel Down, the deep-sea prison.

The poison gas he left behind, my God, people will die.

"cough cough..."

Zefa, who was coughing incessantly due to excitement, looked at the students who continued running and a blush rose in his eyes.

"Damn it! Cough cough cough!"

"Hey, Dad, if you keep going like this, your body won't be able to take it."

"Get lost! Who are you calling 'Dad'?! Who do you think you are...?"

The sudden noise startled Zefa, who thought some jerk was playing a joke on him, but when he turned around, he was stunned.

His eyes instantly turned red, and he didn't even have time to cough before rushing towards the person who came.

"Hammer! Cough cough cough cough!!"

In his excitement, Zephyr suddenly bent over and coughed. Hammer, with a serious expression, immediately took out an asthma emergency inhaler from his pocket.

This was something he had prepared long ago, just in case Zefa got sick and needed it.

But he never expected that Zefa's asthma was caused by him.

.

I'm begging you all to give this a like, write a short review, and if possible, give it a five-star rating.

Chapter 154 The Ghost of the Hammer is Back!

"Teacher, take a sip of this medicine, quick."

Zefa had complete trust in Iron Hammer. He took the asthma emergency medication and took a deep breath, and sure enough, he felt a sense of relief in his mouth.

Seeing that the medicine was working, Hammer knew that Zefa had developed asthma, and a look of seriousness appeared on his face.

With the onset of asthma, Zefa's health began to decline.

Some plans need to be put into action immediately.

It seems he'll have to go to Dressrosa again...

The Kingdom of Tontatta... The Little People... The Healing Fruit...

"Iron Hammer, ha...ha...I knew you wouldn't die so easily, you little brat!"

"He's just a mere white beard; I could easily knock his beard askew. How could my son possibly be killed by a single earthquake from him!"

"I knew it, I knew it!"

In his quest to find Iron Hammer and avenge his beloved disciple and son, Zephyr unleashed 120% of his power in that battle. With his Iron Hammer Fist, he fought Whitebeard for 300 rounds without retreating, and even when injured, he refused to step back.

They even teamed up with Sengoku to give Whitebeard a sound beating.

But revenge was taken, and Iron Hammer was still nowhere to be found, plunging the burly man, who was over fifty, into deep fear.

He couldn't believe what he would do if the hammer were really gone...

Even though he fell on the path of justice, Zephyr still couldn't accept it, just as he could never forget the deaths of his wife and children.

For no other reason than Iron Hammer's words, "Father above, I, Iron Hammer, bow to you."

Over the years, Iron Hammer was the first person to call him "Dad," even though Iron Hammer was quite unserious.

But later, whether it was helping him coach the training camp or creating the Iron Fist, he could feel Iron Hammer's feelings for him.

Over time, he truly came to regard Iron Hammer as his own son.

Now the hammer is back, the darkness has been dispelled by the light, as long as we're alive, as long as we're alive.

Men don't easily shed tears, let alone this iron-willed man who once conquered the seas.

A tear slowly slid down Zefa's cheek.

Whitebeard, you old bastard, I finally understand why you keep claiming sons everywhere. What could be better than having your son by your side?

"Hey, Dad, are you crying?"

"Hey, where's my camera? Don't wipe it, I need to take a picture of you!"

Iron Hammer was also extremely excited, but he still had to crack a joke.

"Get lost! You bastard, you come back and make me angry!"

Zefa made a move as if to strike, but Iron Hammer laughed heartily.

Then the two burly men, each three meters tall, embraced each other.

This scene caused all the trainees and instructors to stop in their tracks and training.

Just watching Zephyr and Hammer.

"Good! I knew Lieutenant General Iron Hammer was alive!"

Xiu Zuo looked at Iron Hammer's figure with excitement. He admired Iron Hammer very much. This master craftsman, who was famous throughout the sea and was a rising star of the Navy Headquarters, was one of the idols in their hearts.

"Oh my god! That's Lieutenant General Iron Hammer! My idol!"

"Yeah, how could Whitebeard possibly have killed Vice Admiral Hammer! The news is all nonsense!"

The crowd erupted in cheers.

Iron Hammer was also shocked by the sudden cheers. Was he that famous now?

"You don't believe it? But it's true, your reputation in the Navy is much greater than Sakazuki's."

"With formidable strength and the title of master craftsman, you absolutely deserve to be called the number one rising star in the Navy."

"I reckon even Sakazuki and the others will accept this fact, after all, they all have to beg you, right? Hahahaha!"

Zefa patted his big son's shoulder with great satisfaction, his face full of pride.

Unlike the high spirits at the training camp, the shipyard was eerily quiet.
