One Piece: The Max-Level Blacksmith of Marineford

Zefa delivered a powerful punch, and Iron Hammer cried out in pain.

The office instantly erupted in screams.

This call lasted for a quarter of an hour.

.

.

"So, you forged a weapon that ended up trapping yourself?"

"Iron Hammer, Iron Hammer, what am I supposed to say to you?"

"Do you think you can just forge a weapon like this? It's only because it's in the hands of a princess. If it fell into the hands of Charlotte Linlin, you'd be dead!"

"Putting everything else aside, I'd be the first to beat you to death!"

After being beaten black and blue, Iron Hammer told everyone what had happened.

Zefa, who had just hammered the iron sledgehammer into a discus, looked at his beloved apprentice and son with a look of utter disappointment.

This little rascal is indeed capable, but sometimes the things he creates are truly awful.

Take the poor flying squirrel for example; it still owes Hammer a debt.

"I didn't want to either, but who knew that it would develop such a strange attribute."

"Just like Mihawk, I was just testing the texture of the Supreme Grade Sword, and who knew I'd end up making him a portable karaoke machine?"

"Sigh, my abilities are almost ruined. I either mess up myself or others."

"I'm not going to blacksmith anymore; it's harmful to both myself and others."

Hearing the sorrowful sound of the hammer, everyone's expression changed instantly.

Old Man Kong: ...Damn it, if you don't forge iron, where am I supposed to find my own exclusive equipment?

Sengoku: ...Wait a minute! I've already given you all the materials!

Crane: ...It is indeed a troublesome matter, but I still want the exclusive weapon.

Zephyr: ...Hmph! You'd better stay at headquarters and keep me company, kid. Anyway, I already have my own people. As for the others, I don't care!

"Ahem, although some of the weapons you forge, Iron Hammer, are indeed terrible, there are ways to fix them, aren't there?"

It was Sengoku who spoke. At that moment, Sengoku's eyes were shining with wisdom, making Iron Hammer instantly think that he really was an idiot, uh, no, a strategist!

"What? Old man from the Warring States period, if you have a solution, tell me quickly, I'm speechless lately."

"Dres Rosa is practically my penalty area now."

Faced with the bitter complaints of the hammer, the Warring States period summarized the language and began to devise a solution.

"You said that sword has an unparalleled suppressive power over you, right?"

Hammer nodded.

"And you gave Princess Scarlett Conqueror's Haki, right?"

Hammer nodded again.

"Could you craft yourself a defensive item? Something that can withstand this kind of destructive power?"

"Could you even forge a weapon that can help you awaken Conqueror's Haki? To fight against that rapier and Scarlett?"

Iron Hammer was astonished; the old man from the Warring States period had become clever!

"Based on your description, the suppression that Scarlett and the rapier exerted on you was definitely psychological or mental. So, start from that point and create a piece of equipment to protect yourself."

"As for your relationship with Scarlett, I think it's all because of that sword. Only after you can successfully resist the corrosive effects of the rapier can you properly observe your relationship with her."

"If you still have feelings for her by then, headquarters won't stop you."

The figure of Zhan Guo kept shining and growing larger in Tie Chui's eyes, like a golden Buddha, inspiring awe.

"Damn it, Sengoku! Can you please stop using your abilities in the office?!"

"Look at you, the moment you transform, you're about to smash through my ceiling!"

Iron Hammer: ...What a waste of emotion! He forgot that this old man is actually a Human-Human Fruit Mythical Zoan Buddha form, and he actually used a Devil Fruit to confuse him, Iron Hammer. This is infuriating!

Sengoku looked slightly embarrassed and quickly withdrew his power, but his tone remained unchanged as he spoke to Iron Hammer:

"So, Hammer, since the problem lies with you, use your abilities to save yourself."

"The one who tied the knot must untie it, isn't that right?"

It must be said that Zhan Guo's words truly broadened Tie Chui's thinking.

Yes, since he can forge a weapon that is a natural counter to himself, why not just create a defensive weapon that is uniquely his own?

Anyway, the Warring States period provides plenty of rare ores, so you can always craft a suitable one.

You might even get an unexpected surprise!

"Old man from the Warring States period, you're right, I need to go forge iron!"

"Craft yourself a unique set of armor!"

"Then we'll be able to stand tall again!"

Without hesitation, Tiechui pushed open the window and jumped out.

The four people inside the room stared wide-eyed.

"Look at this, it was all started by Garp and you two bastards!"

"This idiot is using the window instead of the door!"

The old man Kong angrily berated Zephyr and Sengoku.

Warring States Period: ...I disagree with what you're saying. You were the one who broke through the window first; we were just imitating you.

Zephyr: ...I don't even know who it was back then, but Sengoku and Garp were always going in and out of this window and that window.

Crane: ...I'm getting more and more depressed. This term is hopeless. I'll just have to wait for the next leadership.

Hammer: Oh ho? Next time, are you talking about a dog, a monkey, or a chicken? I'll make you all furious!

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

Chapter 172 Silver? What attribute is that?

"Forge! Exclusive armor!"

"It needs to be able to withstand psychological attacks? No, it needs to be able to withstand all attacks!"

Leaving the main mainland, Iron Hammer rushed straight to the armory's forging workshop.

"Polo poolo..."

"Hey, Lance, I'll be staying in the forge for a while. You and Sherry are free to do as you please, whether you go out to sea or stay at headquarters."

"Huh? Me? I'm going to create an ultra-powerful defensive item, hahaha!"

"Come on!"

After hanging up the phone, Iron Hammer had already walked to his forging workshop.

He did not immediately begin forging.

Instead, he sat down in a chair and began to ponder.

Armor? Iron Hammer has never crafted any special defenses; any special attributes only appear when triggered.

Now that he needs to build a defense, he's feeling a bit apprehensive.

Given his current situation, the most important thing is a piece of armor that can help him resist mental attacks.

In that case, should this piece of armor be designated as a headdress? Or a crown?

However, protective gear doesn't necessarily have to be defensive items to have this ability.

After all, in many fantasy stories, necklaces, breastplates, and brooches can all possess this ability.

"The influence of the mind...?"

"Conqueror's Haki..."

Iron Hammer was at a loss for what to do, so he could only take out all the rare ores he had on hand.

Looking at the colorful ore scattered on the ground, a hint of excitement flashed across Iron Hammer's face.

This is all his wealth; it's not money or weapons, but these rare ores.

For a blacksmith, this is the most precious treasure.

He picked up a piece of mithril in his left hand and a glowing crystal in his right.

"The light crystal that the old man from the Warring States period gave us is quite large. It's rare to see a crystal that can store elemental power."
