"Admiral Sengoku, what are your thoughts on Dragon..."
Hamr and Sengoku stood side by side on the bow of the Warhamr, gazing out at the endless ocean. Eventually, Hamr couldn't hold back his question.
"Attacking governnt ships, kidnapping a Celestial Dragon, each of those is a capital offense... sigh... that little brat just never lets people relax..."
Sengoku's tone was full of regret, but Hamr heard sothing deeper beneath his words.
"Dragon..."
A glint flashed in Hamr's eyes. Then he turned and strode into the cabin, heading straight to the forge.
"Wait... what's he up to??"
Sengoku blinked in confusion at Hamr's sudden departure and turned to ask his adjutant, Lance.
Lance didn't even flinch; it was business as usual to him.
"Reporting, Admiral Sengoku. Rear Admiral Hamr went to the forge. If I had to guess..."
Duang!
"...You won't be seeing him again until we arrive at our destination."
Sengoku: '?? Is this guy really a rear admiral? He's acting like so lazy bureaucrat!'
Hamr: 'Oh? My man, you get !'
Borsalino: 'Nah, he doesn't. I get him more than anyone.'
anwhile, inside the forge, Hamr stared seriously at the object before him and muttered:
"Dragon... let complete you."
The Warhamr moved at great speed, faster than most steel behemoths on the sea, thanks to modifications Hamr had made to its propulsion system during construction. Without it, the ship's heavy armor would've made such velocity, it would be a pipe dream.
"Looks like we're going to beat them there after all. Let's handle this before Garp arrives, or it'll get ssy."
Sengoku gave the order for Dragon's capture as they approached Whiskey Peaks.
"Lance, notify Hamr."
"Everyone else, prepare to land. Capture Dragon."
At that mont, atop Whiskey Peaks, Dragon sat alone in a bar drinking, hands slightly trembling if one looked closely. Next to him was the unconscious Celestial Dragon, Saint Chiquiddo.
The entire area was deserted. Dragon had cleared it out. Of course, part of that was due to the Celestial Dragon's presence.
When locals saw Dragon arrive with a Celestial Dragon, complete with the iconic glass do over his head, panic erupted. Everyone fled.
On this sea, everyone knew one truth: Touch a Celestial Dragon and an admiral will co.
No one wanted to die because of one man's wrath.
"So they've co... huh."
"Heh... but I don't regret it."
He downed the rest of his drink, full of resolve.
"Hamr! What took you so long?"
"Hm? What's that in your hand?"
Hamr finally erged from the forge, holding a black cloth-wrapped item that imdiately drew curious stares.
He simply shook his head and smiled.
"Let's go. Ti to climb the mountain, don't want to keep him waiting."
As soon as he spoke, a rhythmic hamring sound began to resonate from his body:
Duang, Duang, Duang, DUANG!
Three soft beats, one hard. Then it turned into a cycle of nine soft and one hard.
Before long, the eyes of everyone onboard, including Sengoku, went dull and vacant.
The next second, they all began to move, wandering aimlessly on deck.
Only then did Hamr stop the sound and start walking alone toward the mountain top.

Once Hamr disembarked, Sengoku, who should've been hypnotized, suddenly paused. His blank gaze vanished, replaced with a knowing smile.
"This little brat... really developed his fruit well."
"If I were not a Mythical Zoan: Daibutsu user with exceptional willpower, I might've actually fallen for it."
"Seems he has his own way of handling things. Fine, let him go."
"If things go south, I'll step in..."
Unaware that his hypnosis didn't work on Sengoku, Hamr used his Observation Haki to locate Dragon and entered the bar.
Seeing Dragon drinking alone, Hamr plopped down beside him.
"Dragon, you bastard, I'm here! Pour a drink already!"
"Didn't expect it to be you, my dear friend."
"Yeah, yeah, Sengoku's down at the base of the mountain. I just hypnotized him."
Dragon trembled slightly, eyes full of disbelief.
"What? You expected to let him co up and arrest you? Be grateful it was and not Sakazuki. He'd have greeted you with magma."
Hamr took a drink, sighing.
"You really just went and did it, huh? Kidnapped a Celestial Dragon like that? What were you thinking?"
"If it wasn't for the fact that you're Garp's kid and Sengoku's the one here, you'd be toast by now, you know that?"
"You think CP0 would let this go? They'd chase you down to the ends of the sea."
Crude but true. Dragon knew what Hamr ant.
Son of the Marine Hero Garp, a promising marine officer, those titles had beco his last shield.
"I couldn't hold back anymore, Hamr... do you know what that bastard did?"
"Right in front of , he shot six children. The oldest wasn't even eight. The youngest, two or three years old."
"Is that even human? That's a damn monster..."
"If the world continues letting creatures like this reign at the top, then it's dood..."
Watching Dragon's anguished fury, Hamr said nothing.
He knew what the Celestial Dragons were like; he'd just experienced it firsthand.
"So what now? You gonna throw your life away for so scumbag? Is it worth it?"
"Or do you think one act like this will teach them a lesson?"
"You're dreaming, my friend."
"Here, take a look at this. I made it just for you. Hopefully, it gives you a new experience... maybe even a new path."
He unwrapped the black cloth, revealing a single sandal with red patterns.
Dragon stared at it, confused, then glanced at Hamr, who was grinning.
But sohow, that grin gave Dragon a bad feeling...
