One Piece: The Max-Level Blacksmith of Marineford

Chapter 40 A great harvest

"These are the super abilities I've extracted."

"A body of steel, a physique like a superhuman!"

"I was originally thinking about how to use these abilities to create even more powerful soldiers."

"But my dearest friend, your words have made me realize that there is no bloodline more powerful than mine!"

"These superpowers, combined with my bloodline, can definitely create the most powerful warrior."

"And more! And more!"

"If we follow your idea and combine certain abilities with the combat suit, giving the combat suit special attributes as well, and then pair it with the super soldier's body, we can definitely boost combat power to its peak!"

Judge's frenzied behavior left Hammer nodding repeatedly in agreement.

But a bitter smile escaped his lips.

Are all scientists like this? If he remembers correctly, Caesar Courland was like this when he went mad.

Even Vegapunk isn't a normal person.

Sure enough, there isn't a single normal person among scientific researchers!

"My dearest friend, you're right. As for special abilities, they include deadly poison, fire, lightning, strength, and invisibility. What do you think?"

"This is the power that an evil army in legends should possess!"

In order not to provoke Judge, Hammer had no choice but to play along.

"Yes! That's right! It's these powers that I will create even more powerful super soldiers!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Iron Hammer, is it really okay to just let him leave like this?"

As Lance watched the War House disappear into the distance, he still felt uneasy.

Iron Hammer, on the other hand, looked utterly dejected.

"Let him leave quickly, heaven knows what kind of blow he suffered today."

He was dragged along by Judge to talk for a long time, and it only ended when the clone soldier woke up.

With a new direction in mind, Gaji plans to go back and immerse himself in scientific research for a while.

Iron Hammer was happy with this arrangement. As long as he didn't cause trouble, he could do whatever he wanted, and Iron Hammer couldn't be bothered to interfere.

In the end, Vinsmoke Judge gave Hammer a Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) to contact him, and then left with his Germa Kingdom.

This mission can be considered to have been initially completed.

"Oh right, I also brought a lot of guns."

As he spoke, Iron Hammer took a bunch of guns out of his storage ring and placed them on the deck.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the gun in front of them, looking at Iron Hammer with disbelief.

"Did you go there to buy some goods?"

Lance silently picked up a strangely shaped gun and fiddled with it.

If he wasn't mistaken, this should be a flamethrower.

"Hey, I can't go back empty-handed, and these were given to me by Judge himself."

“Look, that’s a flamethrower in your hand.”

"It is said to be able to spew out flames of about 300 degrees Celsius, with an attack range of ten meters, and can continue to spray for 10 minutes. After burning out, it needs to be reloaded."

"As for fuel, here, this can."

"It contains ordinary fuel."

Upon hearing about its power, Lance was tempted and was about to try it when Iron Hammer stopped him.

"Are you looking for death? Testing on the ship? What if the ship burns down? Are we supposed to swim back to Marineford?"

Lance then sheepishly put down the flamethrower.

"The other guns include a repeating heavy machine gun from Germa. It's a very good gun, but there's not much ammunition. After all, we can't carry too many. But there's no need to worry. I'll go to Stanford Kingdom or Chambord again later, and then we'll have enough ammunition."

Heavy machine guns do exist in this world, but most pirate crews can't afford them. Only some kingdoms use them, so ammunition is scarce and can only be purchased from the underworld.

"That cylindrical thing is a portable rocket launcher, and it has even fewer shells. I'll see if I can hammer out a couple myself later."

Hammer brought back a total of 30 guns.

Among them were 5 flamethrowers and 2 heavy machine guns.

15 submachine guns, 3 rocket launchers, and 5 high-precision sniper rifles.

It's perfectly feasible to arm his squad.

The only problem is ammunition, but it's not a major one.

"Iron Hammer, why don't you chase after them and get some more?"

Lance was overjoyed to see the powerful firearms in front of him.

Especially the sniper rifle, which was like adding wings to a tiger for a sharpshooter like him.

He had just seen that, using the scope made by Germa, he could clearly aim at an enemy 1500 meters away.

Combined with his marksmanship, he could become a ghost and killer on the battlefield.

"Tch, do you really think Judge is a good guy? It's only because he has amnesia and has forgotten that I beat him up, otherwise we wouldn't even have a gun in the world right now."

Iron Hammer gave him a stern lecture, then turned around and prepared to go to the break room to work on his blacksmithing.

He planned to replicate Germa's firearms to see if he could surpass them.

Moreover, the attempt at mental hammering is not yet complete, and he doesn't want to do anything else except for blacksmithing.

"I was just saying..."

"Ready to set sail! Destination: Sabaody!"

"Hurry up! Stop crowding around those guns! You'll have a chance to try them out along the way!"

Grand Steward Lance set out, and the warships slowly sailed out of Notis toward Sabaody Archipelago.

"General Sengoku, mission accomplished. We have ascertained the movements of the Germa Kingdom and there is no indication that they intend to wage war."

"Hiss... Well done, Iron Hammer. Germa is a member state after all. As long as he doesn't start a war first, I don't need to worry about him."

"I understand. I'll head back after the mission is complete. I want to go back to blacksmithing..."

"Hey... Iron Hammer, you might not be able to come back for a while. Sakazuki needs you to go over there; he has something to discuss with you."

"...Wait, why does Sakazuki want to see me...?"

"Well, he originally wanted headquarters to send troops, but you happen to be in North Sea right now, so Colonel Iron Hammer, this mission is perfect for you. Sakazuki is at the 177th branch in North Sea, you can just go there directly."

"No, General, I am tired from the journey and need to rest."

"Splat..."

Looking at the Den Den Mushi that had fallen into a deep sleep, Iron Hammer also fell silent.

"Damn! As expected, none of these old men are any good!"

The next second, Iron Hammer roared in fury and slammed his right fist hard on the table.

"Crack!"

An ordinary wooden table couldn't withstand the blow of a hammer; it shattered into pieces and scattered all over the ground.

"Lance! Throw this broken table into the sea!"

"Also, change course, target Beihai Branch 177!"

What should I do if I'm angry or irritable?

Blacksmithing!

Annoyed, Iron Hammer gave his orders without saying a word and went straight back to the break room to start forging.

"Duang!"

"Duang!"

However, this time the hammering sound was no longer the peaceful and slow one before, but rather full of power. Each hammer blow could make one's whole body move, and one could feel the fury in the hammer's heart from the sound of the hammering.
