One Piece: The Max-Level Blacksmith of Marineford

"You old bastard! This is the sword I forged! You want to use it to hurt me?"

"You have to ask it if it agrees first!"

"Shatter, Ice Nightmare! Mind Hammer! Chest Smash!"

The sound of a heavy hammer rang out instantly, and shockwaves spread from the hammer's chest.

Simultaneously, a mental hammering attack was launched, the hammering sound emanating from the mind clearly audible to everyone.

They didn't understand why the hammer would strike at this moment, striking at the heart.

Only Iron Hammer himself understands all of this.

"Click..."

A crisp sound rang out, and countless cracks appeared on the blade of the Ice Nightmare Han Sword.

"My weapons are all infused with my heart and soul!"

"They will carry on my forging methods!"

"Wald, sleep forever in the ice! This sea is your grave!"

"Freeze him! Ice Nightmare!"

The hammer's heart-wrenching roar, filled with deep reluctance, echoed through the sky.

The heavy sound of the hammer striking the mind traveled straight into the Ice Nightmare Sword.

"Yes, my master..."

Congratulations on embarking on your journey to becoming a master craftsman!

"boom!"

Countless sword fragments soared into the sky, and terrifying freezing power filled the heavens.

All the blades and freezing air surrounded Wald at once.

In an instant, an ice coffin formed from sword blades and ice appeared before everyone.

Inside the ice coffin was none other than Bundy Wald, the World Destroyer, whose face was filled with shock.

Chapter 81 The Existence and Independent Space of Artifact Spirits

"Ice Nightmare..."

The ice coffin took shape in an instant, and Iron Hammer stared intently at the ice before him.

Interspersed within the ice were countless fragments of sword blades, fragments of the Ice Nightmare Han Sword. Relying on ice crystals and the power bestowed upon it, this ice coffin was as hard as iron and very difficult to melt.

Just as the ice coffin was about to fall into the water, Iron Hammer moved, lifting the ice coffin up and sending it back onto the deck of the warship.

With trembling hands, Iron Hammer stroked the surface of the ice coffin, his heart filled with reluctance.

Suddenly, a protruding patch of ice caught Iron Hammer's attention.

It was a very obvious ice crystal encasing a fragment of a sword blade, the fragment being rhomboid in shape.

Iron Hammer used his strength to take it off and hold it tightly in his hand, his expression becoming somewhat serious for a moment.

"Kokawa-nei, Iron Hammer-san, your sword can actually freeze Wald into an ice pop, that's terrifying power."

Monkey King walked to Iron Hammer's side with a shocked expression, and couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the ice coffin in front of him.

"That's right. I never expected that World Destroyer Wald would end up like this."

A similarly remarking voice rang out, and then two burly men appeared one after the other in front of the ice coffin.

It was Garp and Sengoku, who had just fought against Wald.

Sengoku had deactivated his Devil Fruit power, his upper body bare, his gaze fixed on the frozen Wald.

Garp also showed a very serious expression, which was extremely rare for him.

"My Ice Nightmare was forged by fusing ice crystals, and it inherently possesses the power of freezing. Wald amplified it with the Momo Fruit, which also amplified the power of ice."

"When it shatters, the ice element bursts forth, and only with the help of the blade can I freeze it."

Everyone nodded.

"The Wald Pirates were completely wiped out in this battle. From the captain to the crew, everyone was captured. Iron Hammer, you did a great job!"

"Your merits will be decided by the Air Marshal after you return to headquarters, but don't worry, you won't be shortchanged."

Zhan Guo patted Tie Chui on the shoulder, making no attempt to hide his admiration for him.

From their encounter in the Calm Belt to the rescue by Karp, and finally to the freezing of Wald, Hammer played a significant role.

But Hammer's mind is not on the credit or Wald at all.

He just wanted to know what that call from the Nightmare had just come from...

"General of the Warring States Period, I'm a little tired. I'll go back to the ship to rest first."

"As for Wald, I hope he won't be sent to Impel Down either; let him be sunk at sea right here."

After saying that, Iron Hammer walked towards his warship without looking back.

"Oh, poor Iron Hammer, not only is he covered in wounds, but he's also lost the precious sword he forged. If I were him, I'd be depressed."

Monkey King's extremely mournful voice rang out, causing Sengoku and Garp to tremble violently.

It's just that this guy's lewd voice is so unbearable, coupled with that mournful feeling, oh my god, it's like a death knell.

"Get lost, Borsalino! I asked you for help, and here's what you've done!"

"An eight-foot-long piece of jade with an outline, is that it? Do you really think I didn't hear you???"

Monkey King: ...Yabai, this old man actually heard that.

Upon returning to his warship, Iron Hammer went straight to the lounge, locked the door, and gave the order that no one should disturb him.

Lance looked at Iron Hammer's serious expression and then at the only remaining scabbard at his waist, realizing that Iron Hammer needed some private space.

"A weapon spirit... could it really be a weapon spirit...?"

"This world is ultimately a fantasy world. If ship spirits can exist, there's no reason why weapon spirits can't exist."

Iron Hammer took out the only remaining ice crystals and sword fragments in his hand, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

As a blacksmith from China.

He fell asleep listening to stories of various forging masters since he was a child, and he was very familiar with and longed for the term "spirit of a weapon".

Take, for example, the legendary Zhanlu sword.

This is a sword of benevolence and righteousness. It was forged by the master swordsmith Ou Yezi, and after its completion, it was acquired by the King of Yue, and later by the King of Wu. Legend has it that this sword can discern the true nature of a ruler, and only a wise and virtuous monarch can obtain it.

That's the charm of Blade & Soul.

Not to mention Gan Jiang and Mo Xie forging the sword with their own bodies, or even the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and plants of the Xuanyuan Sword.

He had always thought these were just legends, but today, Iron Hammer's heart wavered.

The voice from the Ice Nightmare Han Sword told him that weapons could indeed possess spirits!

"Ice Nightmare, don't worry, I will definitely rebuild you!"

A large amount of ice crystals and steel appeared instantly, and Iron Hammer began to select them with a solemn expression.

He placed the fragment of the Ice Nightmare on the table, which shimmered with an unusual blue light.

"Duang!"

"Duang!"

The familiar sound of hammering rang out once again.

.

.

Because of the Bondi World incident, Iron Hammer's original plan to go to Punk Hazard had to be temporarily put on hold, and the whole group returned to their home base, Marineford.

"What did you say? The hammer is still forging iron?"

"Yes... a general from the Sengoku period."

"Isn't this ridiculous! That brat is still injured!"

"But this time it's different. For some reason, I can't open the door to the lounge no matter how hard I try..."

At the port, Sengoku was furious when he heard that Iron Hammer had been locking himself in the rest room to work on iron ever since the Battle of Wald.
