Devil Fruit Awakening represents the pinnacle of a Devil Fruit's power.
Only those who have mastered their abilities to the extre can achieve it.
For Paracia types, awakening typically involves either affecting the surrounding environnt with one's ability or imbuing objects with one's power.
But this ti, Hamr's awakening brought about an unusual change.
The deafening sound of hamr strikes, gone.
And Hamr himself, gone too.
"Hey! Hamr, where are you?"
"Hamr-san? Don't hide~ Co out already~"
"Where is he?! How did Hamr just disappear?"
When the silver light faded, everyone poured into the forge, searching for any trace of Hamr.
The forge was big, but the search party was huge too, and they were all elite Marines.
Very soon, they turned the entire forge upside down, but found nothing.
"Gone?"
"A big guy like him, after making this big of a scene,"
"And he's just gone?"
Standing in Hamr's forging room, Sengoku mumbled to himself in confusion.
Next to him, Fleet Admiral Kong and Zephyr looked equally anxious and stunned.
Before long, everyone gathered in Hamr's personal forging room.
They had searched every inch of the armory, but no Hamr.
"What's going on here?"
"Sengoku, use that brain of yours, analyze this properly."
Of course, when trouble shows up, just dump it on Sengoku.
Sengoku rolled his eyes so hard they nearly cramped.
But then his gaze fell on the anvil.
On top of the anvil stood a hamr, black and silver, imdiately catching his attention.
"Hmm? Was this hamr here before?"
He reached out and grabbed the handle.
The next second, Sengoku's eyes flew wide open.
DUANG!
DUANG!!
A deafening hamring sound exploded through the entire forge, and every head turned toward Sengoku.
There he stood, gripping the black-and-silver hamr in his right hand.
His cloak fluttered, though there was no wind, the hamring sound was echoing from the hamr itself.
"This… this feeling…"
"Holy!"
Don't tell -"
Sengoku could feel the power coursing through the hamr, shock flickered in his wide eyes.
"What was this ability called again…? Let think…"
"Chest-Shattering Hamr, you idiot!"
"Oh, right! Chest-Shattering Hamr"
As Sengoku struggled to rember, a voice suddenly spoke inside his head, reminding him.
And right then, Sengoku unleashed Hamr's signature move: Chest-Shattering Hamr!
An invisible shockwave burst out from Sengoku, spreading in all directions.
Everyone around him scrambled to brace themselves.
"It's true! Hahaha!"
"What's so funny, old man?! That's my power, why are you so happy?!"
The wildly laughing Sengoku got scolded right away.
By who? By the hamr itself.
Or rather, the hamr he was holding.
"Sengoku, how are you using Hamr's powers?"
"Don't tell … It's this hamr?"
Zephyr, shielded by his Fist of Tekko, hadn't been affected by the shockwave; now he stared at Sengoku in disbelief.
"Hmph, isn't it obvious? Sengoku can use my power because that hamr is !"
A bold voice rang out, everyone looked around for the source.
Silver light flared up again, and in the next instant, the hamr in Sengoku's hand rose into the air and hovered there.
Bathed in silver radiance, the hamr glowed brilliantly, and then transford into a human figure.
It was him, Vice Admiral of Marine HQ, master blacksmith, Hamr!
Everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
They couldn't believe what they were seeing. Hamr had turned into a hamr?
"Ha… Hamr?"
"Impossible, Hamr really turned into a hamr???"
"My god! This is insane! The Hamr-Hamr Fruit turned him into a hamr?"
Amid the shocked cries, Hamr dusted himself off. After all, he'd been forging nonstop for a month, he looked terrible.
Then he plopped himself down on a nearby chair.
"Your Fruit awakened?"
As a fellow Fruit user, Sengoku imdiately understood what was happening.
Awakening ant a user's abilities took a huge leap.
Very few on this entire sea could reach this stage.
Hamr didn't hide a thing.
"Yeah, my Hamr-Hamr Fruit has awakened."
"As for what the awakening does, you just experienced it for yourself, old man Sengoku."
Seeing Hamr's smug look, Sengoku just nodded blankly.
This was way beyond anything he'd expected, but that power was undeniable.
"Wait, what is your awakened ability exactly???"
"Can you stop speaking in riddles? Sengoku's annoying enough, you brat, don't pick up his habits!"
Watching Hamr and Sengoku trade cryptic lines, Zephyr was about to explode.
Sengoku: …Why am I always the punching bag?
"My awakening lets rge my essence into a hamr, creating a strange 'magnetic field'… Well, not really a magnetic field, more like an infusion."
"First, I transform myself into a hamr, that black-and-silver one you saw."
"Then, whoever picks up the hamr gets all of my Devil Fruit's powers!"
"I call this power: The Oath Hamr!"
"In that mont, I am the hamr, the hamr is !"
"Of course, if soone wants my power, they need my approval. Otherwise, they won't get a shred of it, they won't even be able to lift the hamr!"
"Ah, enough talk, let's go outside. I'll show you what it feels like to wield godlike power!"
Saying this, Hamr pushed through the crowd and strode outside.
Eager to witness a miracle, everyone rushed out after him.
"The Oath Hamr!"
Out in front of the forge, Hamr instantly activated his power again, transforming into the black-and-silver warhamr.
"Zephyr-sensei, you try it!"
Hamr's voice echoed out, Zephyr nodded, removed his arm armor, and stepped forward to grip the hamr.
"Infuse!"
"Zephyr-sensei, you know my powers well. Use them as you wish."
Feeling the power surging from the hamr, Zephyr was so shocked he couldn't speak, he just nodded.
Then he hefted the hamr, turned to an empty patch of ground, and readied an attack.
"Heavy Hamr Spark!"
Zephyr chose the Hamr-Hamr Fruit's fla ability.
In an instant, a massive blaze erupted from the hamr's head, far stronger than when Hamr used it himself.
"This too is my awakened power, turning the Hamr-Hamr Fruit into its essence, and boosting all its abilities!"
"Whoever wields , even an ordinary Marine soldier, will instantly gain strength equal to a Vice Admiral!"
"And if top-tier fighters wield , it's not just a simple 1 1 boost!"
"I swear, if Garp wielded , the two of us could go duke it out with Whitebeard!"
The Oath Hamr!
Hamr's conviction focused on a single hamr!
Hamr the heavens, hamr the earth, hamr all things!
All things are hamr!
