One Piece: The Max-Level Blacksmith of Marineford

He took a chain from the ring, locked Batu up, and threw him onto the speedboat.

This chain is also Iron Hammer's masterpiece. He mixed seastone into the front end of the chain, which can effectively suppress the ability user.

He was very careful because he was afraid of encountering sea stone, and it took him a lot of effort to deal with it.

Under the shocked gaze of the snow leopard girl, Iron Hammer started the speedboat and sped towards the Navy Headquarters.

Little did they know that everything that had just happened had been observed by a seagull carrying a backpack.

Chapter 23 The Wronged Souls Under Zephyr's Iron Fist

"Aren't you from Zou?"

The snow leopard girl shook her head. After a day's journey, she had realized that the man in front of her was not a bad person.

Along the way, Iron Hammer became a warm-hearted older brother, comforting the girl's heart little by little.

Through communication, he learned that the snow leopard girl's name was Shirley.

"Well... I wasn't born in Zou. My father came from the legendary Zou Island, but my mother was just an ordinary person."

"According to my mother, my father traveled alone."

"Our family was living happily together, but everything changed on that day..."

"Dad...Mom..."

Shirley fell silent before she could finish speaking...

Iron Hammer understood what had happened without even thinking.

His fists clenched tightly, and he spat out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Damn human traffickers..."

Then he quickly comforted Shirley.

“Sherry, you heard what he said earlier. I am a Marine from Marine Headquarters. If you don’t mind, you can come with me to Marineford. It’s very safe there.”

Shirley nodded.

"You saved me, so I'll do whatever you say."

Iron Hammer: Sigh... How can the pain in my heart fade so quickly? I hope that when I return to headquarters, Lieutenant General Tsuru can help me.

The speedboat sped off towards Marineford at full speed.

.

.

A few days later, at the port of Marineford.

Countless steel behemoths are docked on the shore, and many smaller warships are returning one after another.

If Iron Hammer wasn't mistaken, they were all trainees who had returned after completing their assessment tasks.

"Shirley, this is Marineford. Isn't it magnificent?"

Hammer carried the still unconscious Batu on his shoulder and pulled Shirley off the speedboat.

Batu had woken up once during the voyage, but Iron Hammer reacted quickly and struck him with a hammer, knocking him unconscious again.

"Hmm...it exudes an aura of iron and blood."

Marineford is a steel fortress, and its impact is enormous.

Shirley looked at the very prominent word "Justice" and seemed to be greatly shocked.

Iron Hammer gently patted her shoulder.

Shirley nodded gently. After Hammer's comforting words along the way, she had calmed down considerably.

Looking at the steel castle in the distance, filled with a chilling atmosphere, a hint of longing appeared in his eyes.

The combination of the dressed-up man and the beast woman drew the attention of the surrounding soldiers, who began to whisper among themselves.

"He's Iron Hammer? And that fur-clad girl is the one from the news??"

"It seems so. The news was right."

"He's a top disciple of General Zephyr, how could he do such a thing?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's hard to say. After all, beauty makes everyone equal."

Although the soldiers were whispering quietly, who was Iron Hammer? He was a monster among the elite.

A series of question marks appeared on Iron Hammer's head.

What news? What beauty?

Filled with questions, Hammer led Sherry toward the elite training camp.

Unexpectedly, the further he went inside, the more discussions arose.

Some patrolling soldiers were stunned when they saw him and Shirley, with expressions that said, "I understand, bro."

Hammer was completely bewildered. He had no choice but to quicken his pace. He needed to find old man Zefa and get some answers about what had happened during his absence and how the soldiers at headquarters had become like this.

They hurried to the office building of the elite training camp.

"Zeff! I'm back!"

A dark figure suddenly darted out of the teaching building.

"You bastard, you dare to come back!"

"Take this heavy punch from me!"

Hammer: ? ? ? What's going on? Why are you beating him up as soon as he gets back? ? ?

However, Zephyr's attack was swift and ruthless, giving Hammer no chance to ask questions.

"boom!"

The iron fist, wrapped in layers of black silk, was slammed into the ground by the iron hammer.

A large, T-shaped pit appeared instantly.

The newcomer was none other than Iron Hammer's teacher, Zephyr.

Well, it would be more accurate to say that it was a furious Zephyr.

"What are you doing!"

When Shirley saw that Hammer was injured, her previously silent face finally showed expression. She became like a cat with its fur standing on end, baring her teeth at the newcomer.

This scene completely baffled Zephyr, who then roared angrily at the crater.

"You damn hammer, how much longer are you going to stay down there!"

"Why are you engaging in such bad habits, Li Waishamu Aodao?"

Iron Hammer struggled to climb out of the pit, his face swollen and he could barely speak.

It would have been better if he hadn't spoken, but as soon as Hammer spoke, Zephyr became even angrier.

"You bastard! I sent you out to complete the assessment, and what did you do? You actually did something so shameful!"

"Tell me honestly, what's the story with this girl?"

"Was it someone you abducted back here?"

Hammer: ...Completely confused, what am I doing?

"No, Professor Zephyr, is that really who I am in your eyes?"

"I'm a righteous navy officer, how could I possibly kidnap a young girl?"

Zefa fell into deep thought upon hearing this, but the anger on his face did not diminish in the slightest.

He reached into his robes and suddenly threw a newspaper at Hammer's face.

"Then you bastard, explain to me what's going on here!"

Hammer took the newspaper with a blank look on his face and opened it.

The image above clearly shows Iron Hammer and Sherry, with Batu, whose head has been smashed into a pig's head by Iron Hammer, standing to the side.

"A New Generation of Navy Soldiers Fight Pirates Over a Bounty of Over 100 Million to Steal a Girl: Is It a Shift in Justice or a Distortion of Humanity?"

Hammer: ......

"Holy crap! That bastard Morgans, isn't this utter nonsense?"

"This is a complete fabrication of the facts! You wait, I'm not done with you yet!"

"This isn't over until all the bird feathers on your body have been plucked!"
