Chapter 73 He regretted it, he hated it, he shouldn't have gone to sea!

The Calm Belt, as the name suggests, is a sea area with no wind or currents; the entire surface is absolutely calm. Most pirate ships rely on wind power for propulsion, and entering the Calm Belt would cause them to lose their power source and become trapped.

Not to mention the Calm Belt is also the habitat of colossal Sea Kings, which sandwich the entire Grand Line in between, making it fraught with danger.

"Duang!"

"Duang!"

Excessive calm can be frightening, but there's no need to worry about this on the warship with its hammers; the rhythmic clanging of the hammers keeps the more than 100 people constantly alert.

"Captain Lance, I have already familiarized myself with the automatic rifle, flamethrower, heavy machine gun and other firearms."

"Yeah...very good."

Lance looked at Sherry in her uniform and a hint of emotion appeared in his eyes.

No wonder they were among the top performers in the second edition; their insight is truly remarkable.

In just a few hours at sea, they became familiar with and mastered all the weapons on the warship.

It's quite a little monster now.

"Duang!"

"I wonder what kind of equipment the major general has commissioned this time?"

Shirley's words made Lance nod slightly. He was also curious, after all, Iron Hammer's reputation was already well-known in headquarters.

The name "Ice Nightmare Han Sword" spread among the soldiers.

"I don't know... um? What is that?"

Just as Lance was about to reply, he noticed a black dot in his field of vision.

The next second, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

"Is that a ship? A pirate ship?"

Sherry was equally startled upon hearing this, and then transformed into a beam of white light and flew up to the observation deck.

With his exceptional eyesight, he instantly saw clearly what was appearing in the distance.

"Warning! Pirates!"

"An unknown sea monster is pulling that pirate ship forward!"

Shirley's sharp shout instantly echoed throughout the entire ship, even reaching Hammer, who immediately dropped what he was doing and rushed onto the deck.

"Sherry! Use this to see! Which way is the pirate ship heading? Can you see the pirate flag clearly?"

A pair of glasses instantly appeared in Iron Hammer's hand and were tossed onto the observation deck. It was the same pair of glasses Iron Hammer had given to the monkey to improve its eyesight.

Shirley promptly took it and put it on; instantly, the image in her eyes became much clearer.

"A skull wearing a pointed hat... The Wald Pirates! That's the World Destroyer 'Bondy Wald'!"

"They're moving very fast; they'll probably crash into us in no time!"

As students of the second cohort, Teacher Zephyr introduced them to several of the most powerful pirate crews on the high seas, with the World Pirates being one of them.

Upon hearing this, Iron Hammer's face instantly darkened.

"Damn it, why did they get into the Calm Belt!"

"No... the Wald Pirates... the Fish Giant... damn it!"

"Lance! Change course! Break out of the Calm Belt! Head towards the Red Line!!"

Lance was startled. He knew that if they rushed out from where they were now, they would be heading straight into a new world.

"Iron Hammer, are you serious? If we break out of the Calm Belt now, we'll go straight into the New World."

"Of course I know! Bring me the Den Den Mushi!"

"it is good!"

"Puru puru... puru puru..."

"You damn old man from the Warring States period! Answer the phone!"

He was so angry he was practically fuming.

"Crack!"

"Hey? Old man from the Warring States period, where are you?"

As soon as the Den Den Mushi was connected, Tekken's anxious voice burst out.

"Huh? Iron Hammer? I'm heading to the New World now, what's wrong?"

"What happened? I ran into Wald in the Calm Belt! What do you mean, what happened?"

The Warring States period was suddenly startled!

"impossible!"

"Wald should have already dived down to Fishman Island, so how come..."

"Oh no! He tricked us! You bastard!"

With his mind racing, Sengoku instantly realized that their intelligence must have been leaked, or that something had gone wrong in some part of the process.

But now is not the time for regret.

"Iron Hammer! Get out of the Calm Belt right now!"

"Do you even need to tell me?! I'm already on my way to the New World! How much longer until you get there, old man?"

Iron Hammer was now really anxious. As a time traveler, he knew better than anyone how powerful and insane Wald was.

This is a ruthless person who dares to mess with even the Celestial Dragons, so he doesn't care whether Iron Hammer is a Marine or who he is.

"I'm about to reach the Red Earth, and it will take at least 2-3 hours to get over it."

Sengoku was also very anxious at this moment. Wald had always been someone he was responsible for, and he knew very well what would happen if Iron Hammer met Wald.

"But I have already informed Karp, and he is now also heading towards the outer waters of the New World."

"My original plan was to trap Wald at the entrance to the new world and defeat him in one fell swoop."

Finally, I heard some good news, but it's not much better than I thought.

"Old man, all I can do now is run for my life, but if this bastard bites me like a mad dog, I hope you and old man Garp can hurry up, otherwise we'll only be able to collect the corpses of my entire ship!"

"Crack!"

After hanging up the phone, a hint of annoyance appeared on Iron Hammer's face.

He regretted it, he hated it, why did he have to go to sea at this time!

That's Wald, the destroyer of the world! The owner of the Paramecia-type Momo-Momo Fruit, whose ability allows him to magnify the speed, power, volume, and weight of objects he comes into contact with by multiples, up to 100 times.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

Moreover, Wald himself is extremely powerful, sigh!

"Lance! Tell everyone to get their weapons in position!"

"Fire those repeating guns too! And those longswords as well!"

"Oh, right, and these too! Distribute them all. Give them to whoever knows how to use them. In short, everyone, get fully equipped!"

Iron Hammer poured out more than a dozen weapons from the ring like beans being poured out.

Five swords imbued with sword energy, three Shattering Wind Gauntlets, two tridents, two Ruyi Cudgels, five rapid-fire guns, one black smoke jet, and one Miao sword and one Tang horizontal sword made of special steel plates—this was all his possessions.

He himself wore boxing gloves, had an Ice Nightmare belt around his waist, a hat, and boots, with a trident on his back.

He instantly armed himself up, and his appearance was quite comical.

But no one doubts his current fighting prowess.

After all, all of that equipment had special attributes.

The current Iron Hammer is practically a humanoid fighter jet.

Sherry and Lance each picked up their weapons; the former took another trident, while the latter took a repeating gun and a sword with sword energy.

"Quickly! Did you hear what the Major General said? Those who are good with swords, take swords; those who are good with fists, put on gauntlets; the rest of you, take whatever you have!"

"Heavy machine guns, rocket launchers! All in position!"

Orders were issued rapidly, and the hundred naval soldiers sprang into action instantly.

Meanwhile, on the distant pirate ship of Wald, Wald was staring menacingly at the warship that had come into his line of sight.

"Damn the navy! We can even run into them in the Calm Belt!"

"Sebastian! Charge! I'm going to give their remains to those two bastards, Sengoku and Garp, as a celebratory gift!"
