One Piece: The Max-Level Blacksmith of Marineford

Chapter 181 The Warring States Period! Something terrible has happened!

“Hey, Professor Zephyr, you can’t say that.”

"I don't call this cowardice, I call it strategic thinking."

"A talent like me should stay put in the rear and take charge. I'm planning to apply for the position of Minister of Logistics soon."

"I'll spend every day with you at headquarters then."

Iron Hammer didn't think he was a coward at all. Please, the sea is full of terrifying monsters, and he wasn't going to rush in and fight.

Let's leave the fighting to Dog Bro and his gang.

"Logistics Minister! You damn brat, you'd rather be a lieutenant general than a logistics minister?"

"I'll just beat you to death! That way I won't get so angry!"

Zefa was furious. After all this time, couldn't the logistics minister just let it go?

A fine young man like him doesn't go to sea, but actually wants to stay at headquarters. That's it, this tree has completely gone astray!

"Forget it, old man, you're just going to stay here with me in Marineford. If anything happens, just have Sengoku do it, and Gouzi and the others do it. Wouldn't it be better for the two of us to retire peacefully in Marineford?"

"Once I become the Minister of Logistics, I will apply to raise Marineford's defense level to another level. I guarantee that Marineford will be safer than Mary Geoise!"

Iron Hammer wasn't afraid of Zephyr at all, and he just pushed back against Zephyr head-on.

The people standing nearby watched the two of them staring at each other, neither willing to give in, and desperately held back their laughter.

The rising stars and pillars of the navy, along with the previous generation of admirals, are teacher and student, and even more so, father and son.

This fully embodies Iron Hammer's rebellious spirit.

"Hahaha! I can't hold it in any longer!"

Tina was the first to break down. A hearty laugh instantly erupted from her.

Her laughter made the others unable to hold back either.

Everyone except Zephyr and Iron Hammer started laughing.

"Hmph! I can't argue with you, so do as you please!"

"Tch, you were clearly swayed by my words. Don't worry, old man, you'll be served sherry and special cigars every day!"

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, the two sat down again; Zephyr simply couldn't be bothered to argue with Hammer.

So what if it's crooked? After all, he can still forge iron. At worst, he can just have him make a weapon to soothe his wounded heart.

Well, that’s it!

The thought of having a custom weapon instantly calmed Zephyr down, and he picked up a bottle of sherry and started drinking it by himself.

"I can't be bothered with you. Let's eat. After I finish eating, I still need to go back and clean my Iron Bogard Fist."

"Speaking of which, I heard you've forged another unique artifact? And it's not from the Warring States period?"

Iron Hammer, who was also drinking, rolled his eyes when he heard the name Warring States.

"Yes, it's not his. This old man claims everything as his. Even with such a strong cold wave, he still thinks it's a weapon made for him. I'm speechless."

"How could a giant, golden Buddha statue be associated with cold air? Even a fool would know it's impossible."

"It's for Kuzan. Let him come back and pick it up himself later."

Zefa laughed heartily, realizing that Sengoku had gone mad.

"He's really obsessed. You don't know, last time when I fought the Whitebeard Pirates, he was so shocked by how powerful I was."

"If Whitebeard weren't so strong, I wouldn't even need him to fight. Any division commander could be taken down by my own punch!"

The moment the topic of fighting the Whitebeard Pirates came up, Zephyr's arrogance soared.

On that day, clad in Iron Fist, he seemed to have become a war god, truly taking down one kid with a single punch.

Even Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he could withstand it with his Iron Wave Fist and then deliver a punch to Whitebeard.

That was so satisfying! Tsk tsk, it was unforgettable.

No, he needs to get Iron Hammer to make him another weapon. With two divine weapons in hand, Zephyr will definitely go and challenge Whitebeard to another duel.

"I've heard about this too. It's said that when the Warring States general returned, his eyes were bloodshot and he was completely insane."

"I guess he was provoked by Professor Zephyr, and also by you, Iron Hammer."

Suddenly, the flying squirrel, which was frantically stuffing meat into its mouth, spoke up.

"Gudong!"

He swallowed the food in his mouth and then looked at the hammer with hope.

"Hey, Iron Hammer, look at your brother..."

"Stop!"

He was interrupted by a hammer as soon as he started to speak.

"You are my bodyguard now, not my brother, and even if we were brothers, you wouldn't be my personal bodyguard!"

The flying squirrel looked at the hammer with a resentful expression, and even the expression on the mountain of fire froze for a moment.

"Unless..."

The two, who had been disappointed, were suddenly filled with joy again, eagerly awaiting what Iron Hammer would say next.

"Bring your own materials. Let me tell you, these custom weapons are made entirely based on the materials each person submits."

“Look at Dog Bro, he gave me his lava. Kuzan is ice, and even the old man from the Warring States period found a crystal of light.”

“Teacher Zefa doesn’t count, because he’s our father.”

Upon hearing this, Zefa laughed heartily, instantly becoming extremely satisfied.

I'm even more certain now that I want to get another exclusive one.

On the contrary, the flying squirrel and the fire mountain fell into deep thought after listening.

Iron Hammer is right. You can't get something exclusive without putting in some effort.

It seems I'll have to pay more attention to rare materials when suppressing bandits in the future.

"Alright! It's just rare materials. After this mission, I'll patrol the Grand Line and hunt down pirates. I'm sure I'll be able to get some rare ores or materials!"

For his exclusive weapon, the flying squirrel went all out: annihilating thieves, bandits, and stealing materials!

"Heh, you'd better hurry up and earn back the Pele you owe me first."

Flying Squirrel: .....Iron Skin!

The following day, the Warhammer set sail from Marineford again, accompanied by another steel behemoth.

A steel behemoth of lieutenant general rank, specially approved during the Warring States period.

"I must say, the old man from the Warring States period had a very good eye for talent."

"Ahahahaha!"

On the deck of the Warhammer, Iron Hammer looked at the warships traveling with him and laughed heartily.

The flying squirrel and the fire mountain were on that warship, accompanying and protecting Iron Hammer.

Shortly after Iron Hammer set sail, the phone rang in the Air Marshal's office.

"Hello? This is Steelbone Sky."

"What? The Celestial Dragons are coming to Marine Headquarters? What are they doing here?"

"Uh... Iron Hammer isn't here. He was injured a while ago and just recovered before going on a mission at sea."

"No...is this my fault? He's in the navy; if he doesn't go to sea, are you suggesting he be the admiral?"

"No...that's not what I meant..."

"No! No..."

"Come on!"

Looking at the Den Den Mushi that had been disconnected, the old man was completely distraught.

"Warring States Period! Something terrible has happened! The Celestial Dragons are coming to Marineford!!!"

"Get it ready right now!!!"

Sengoku, who was working in his office, trembled when he heard the old man Kong shout.

"The Celestial Dragons are coming?! Oh my god..."

"Someone is coming!"

The entire Marineford was thrown into chaos instantly.
