Looking at the bustling city before him, Hamr couldn't help but click his tongue.
Because in his mories, after Crocodile showed up, this city had beco a wasteland due to drought.
It was nothing like the lively place it was now.
"Oh, travelers from afar, welco to the trading city of Yuba!"
"Co take a look at fresh cactus fruit flesh!"
"If you don't like vegetarian food, I also have at from Sandora giant lizards! Guaranteed satisfaction!"
As Hamr walked into the marketplace, the nearby vendors began enthusiastically bragging about how amazing their goods were.
Yuba's marketplace was enormous.
It truly deserved the title of Trading City.
Hamr wandered from the western side of the city all the way to the eastern side.
But who was Hamr?
His standards were absurdly high.
Ordinary food or materials simply couldn't catch his eye.
After walking through the entire place, he still hadn't found a single thing he liked.
"Sigh… easy to gain riches, hard to find treasures."
"A city this huge, yet not even a single special ore or forging material."
"So annoying."
Since the city had nothing he wanted, Hamr didn't stay any longer and walked straight out of town.
Kuzan's troops were stationed outside the city.
"You guys stay with Kuzan's unit for now."
"I'll wander around by myself."
"If Lance and Kuzan finish fighting, contact with a Den Den Mushi."
After arranging his n, Hamr headed alone toward the coastline.
Why the coast?
Because he suddenly rembered a certain kind of creature.
A creature that could work for him, and also bring him considerable profit.
With a "might as well try" ntality, Hamr quickened his pace and soon arrived at the shore.
He scanned the area.
'Nothing.'
Hamr frowned slightly and instantly released his Observation Haki, spreading it in all directions.
Before long, he locked onto his target and imdiately ran toward it.
Soon, a group of green figures appeared before him.
A group of Kung Fu Dugongs.
Strangely enough, despite watching One Piece countless tis in his previous life, Hamr had never cared much about the people in it.
But he absolutely loved these peculiar creatures.
Cute appearance.
Turtle-shell-like backs.
A lovable species living in the deserts of Alabasta.
And fanatics when it ca to martial arts.
Looking at the roughly fifty Kung Fu Dugongs before him, Hamr revealed a smile.
These Kung Fu Dugongs worshipped strength absolutely.
And they also had a unique trait, whenever they t soone, they challenged them to a duel.
If they lost, they would take that person as their master.
The mont Hamr appeared before them, the entire group instantly lit up and surrounded him.
The leading dugong was slightly larger than the others.
There was also a scar over its left eye, adding a touch of dominance to its adorable appearance.
"Awoo!"
With a long cry, the leader dugong slowly approached Hamr.
Its tiny adorable fists pointed at Hamr, then at itself.
"Hahahaha!"
"As expected, you want to fight the mont we et?"
"Awoo."
Hamr, who knew Kung Fu Dugongs very well, naturally understood what it ant.
"Alright then, Dugong. Co on!"
"If I beat you, you and your little brothers are joining the Marines with !"
"I'll personally teach you martial arts!"
Hamr's goal was to recruit this entire group of Kung Fu Dugongs.
A species that worshipped strength this much, if trained properly, they could absolutely beco a Dugong Assault Squad.
And if possible, he also wanted to train them into top-tier blacksmiths.
"Awoo! Awoo!"
The Kung Fu Dugong leader nodded seriously, then waved at its underlings.
Instantly, the other dugongs retreated, leaving a fighting arena for the two of them.
"I am Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral Hamr!"
"Dugong, let see your strength!"
Hamr naturally wasn't going to attack first.
Nor did he care whether the dugong understood him or not.
Self-introductions ca first.
The Justice cape behind him fluttered in the wind, making Hamr look incredibly imposing.
The leader dugong gazed at Hamr's heroic figure with envy in its eyes, but quickly entered combat stance.
One fist forward.
One fist back.
The aura around the dugong instantly intensified.
"Oh? Pretty good presence!"
"Awoo!"
The leader dugong leapt upward violently, its right fist aiming directly for Hamr's face.
"Unfortunately…"
"Still not enough."
"Tekkai!"
Against the Kung Fu Dugongs, Hamr had no intention of using Devil Fruit abilities or Haki.
After all, these little cuties weren't that strong yet.
The Rokushiki were more than enough.
Clang!
The instant the dugong's fist struck Hamr's face, a tallic collision rang out.
Pain instantly appeared on the dugong's face.
Its eyes were full of disbelief.
It couldn't understand why this man's body was so hard.
It felt less like hitting a person, and more like punching solid iron.
"Dugong, don't stop!"
"Keep going!"
"I'll stand here and won't fight back!"
Hamr grinned and beckoned provocatively at the dugong.
The leader dugong snorted angrily and imdiately unleashed a rainstorm of punches against Hamr.
"Mmm…"
"Not bad."
"Oh, right there."
"Yeah! That feels great!"
Faced with the violent barrage, Hamr actually closed his eyes and let out comfortable groans.
It was as if the dugong wasn't attacking him, but giving him a full-body massage.
The leader dugong was absolutely furious.
It couldn't understand why, despite using its full strength, the man before it wasn't reacting at all.
This was making the dugong furious.
"You done yet, little dugong?"
"My turn now!"
"Soru!"
Hamr suddenly opened his eyes.
Then, in the middle of the dugong's attack, instantly disappeared from sight.
The leader dugong hurriedly searched for Hamr's position.
"Awoo!"
"Awoo!"
The surrounding dugongs imdiately cried out warnings.
Only then did the leader realize Hamr had appeared behind it.
But before it could react, Hamr's attack had already descended.
"Tekkai: Smash!"
Normally, activating Tekkai prevented movent.
But Hamr had fully mastered the Rokushiki long ago and completely integrated them into his fighting style.
Attacking while maintaining Tekkai was child's play to him.
BOOM!
Hamr's strike didn't hit the dugong.
Instead, it smashed into the ground in front of it.
Terrifying force instantly shattered the earth.
A gigantic crater appeared in the middle of the battlefield.
Even the surrounding dugongs were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated.
The leader dugong itself was blasted into the air by the shockwave.
While airborne, it stared wide-eyed at the enormous crater below, its eyes filled with shock.
The man who had caused all this was simply standing there smiling at it.
At that mont, the brave and mighty image of this man beca deeply engraved into the minds of every Kung Fu Dugong present.
