Marineford's Logistics Blacksmith Chapter 229: Everyone’s Target Is Hammer!

"Hamr-san! I feel completely fired up right now!"

"HAHAHA! Ice Ball! Ice Age!"

Wearing the suspenders pants, Kuzan gripped the blue sphere and leapt high into the air.

The power of the Logia Ice-Ice Fruit erupted completely.

In an instant, an enormous crystalline ice lotus condensed in the sky, growing larger and larger.

The terrifying pressure it emitted beca increasingly intense.

"Good lord…"

"Was Kuzan's freezing aura always this imposing before?"

"How co I never noticed?"

Looking at the ice lotus in the sky, Lance suddenly lost confidence.

"Don't underestimate that ridiculous outfit and that ice ball."

"The weapon I forged was custom-made specifically for Kuzan."

"It can massively amplify the power of his freezing aura."

"With Kuzan's current state, I'd say even if you dragged Golden Lion over here, Kuzan could probably fight him head-on."

Hamr wasn't exaggerating at all.

The Logia Ice-Ice Fruit was already one of the strongest fruits in existence.

After being amplified by the Frozen Ruyi, Kuzan's strength had increased trendously.

After all, he was ice itself.

However, as Hamr watched the increasingly massive ice lotus in the sky, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Whether it was because of the outfit's influence or Kuzan's own personality, if this kept going, things would beco difficult to clean up.

"Kuzan, that's enough!"

"There are still soldiers down there!"

"Why are you making so giant ice lotus, you idiot?!"

"Oath Hamr! Heavy Hamr Fla!"

As Hamr cursed loudly, his body instantly transford into the awakened Oath Hamr state.

The hamr shot into the sky while dragging massive flas behind it.

Endless fire imdiately ignited beneath the ice lotus.

To speed up the lting process, Hamr even flew circles around the bottom of the lotus while continuously spewing flas.

"Wow, Hamr, that form of yours is pretty unique."

"Your Devil Fruit awakening is really interesting, haha."

Seeing Hamr step in, Kuzan finally stopped fooling around.

At the sa ti, he canceled the transformation state of the Frozen Ruyi and allowed Hamr's flas to lt the ice lotus completely.

Only after all the ice had lted did Hamr return to human form and slowly land on the ground.

"Alright."

"You've already gotten your exclusive weapon."

"If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

"Old man Sengoku and old man Kong dumped a bunch of missions on . I still have work to do."

"Ah la la, Hamr-san is voluntarily doing missions now?"

"That's rare."

"Though honestly, I don't really believe it, hahaha."

Faced with Kuzan's teasing, Hamr silently smashed him with a hamr strike.

Naturally, Kuzan exploded into shattered ice again.

Then Hamr took Lance and the soldiers and left.

...

When Hamr's group returned to the Warhamr.

Lance and the soldiers were dumbfounded again.

What were they seeing?

Shirley was training a group of Kung Fu Dugongs?

Where had these fifty dugongs co from?!

"Why are all of you staring with your eyes popping out?"

"This is the Kung Fu Dugong Squad I specially recruited!"

"From now on, they're mbers of our Warhamr crew!"

Hamr proudly looked at the training Kung Fu Dugong squad.

"No, Hamr…"

"In just a few days, where did you even find so many Kung Fu Dugongs?"

Lance knew about Kung Fu Dugongs.

They were creatures that worshipped strength above all else.

"Obviously I subdued them and recruited them into the Marines."

"Did you really need to ask?"

"Alright, everyone board the ship and continue sailing."

"Lance, don't forget what I told you."

Lance nodded.

Of course he hadn't forgotten.

After his sparring match with Kuzan ended earlier, he'd already found a rchant guild and spread the ssage Hamr wanted distributed.

By now, rumors were probably spreading across the Grand Line already.

Whether Hamr's thod would work or not, though,

That was another question.

....

As the Warhamr resud sailing, a piece of news regarding Master Ornn spread rapidly across the Grand Line.

"Master Ornn has departed for the West Blue?"

"I heard Master Ornn invented a new tool capable of completely remodeling a weapon or item, giving it a new life. I wonder if it's true."

"So even an ordinary sword could have a chance to beco a famous blade?"

"Who knows?"

In an instant, every island across the Grand Line began discussing Master Ornn's weapon reconstruction.

This information also reached the ears of a certain young man.

The man carried a massive sword on his back, possessed a stern face, and had eyes sharp as a hawk.

It was one of Hamr's targets for this voyage: Dracule Mihawk.

At this mont, he was resting in Water 7 when he suddenly overheard passersby discussing Master Ornn.

As one of Hamr's previous victims, he naturally knew that Master Ornn was Hamr himself.

"That bastard went out to sea again?"

"Good."

"I'm going to cut him down!"

"…Wait?"

"He can remodel weapons?"

The mont he heard this, Mihawk instantly pulled out his Supre Grade Black Blade, Yoru.

"Hmph."

"Whether it's true or not, I'll go find that bastard first."

"The West Blue, huh?"

"Very well."

And just like that, after hearing the news, Mihawk imdiately departed for the West Blue.

At the sa ti, on a certain island in the West Blue.

A pitch-black ship filled with terrifying gothic elents was docked at the shore.

A man with horns on his head laughed wildly.

"Kishishishi!"

"Master Ornn?"

"Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral Hamr?"

"So he's coming to the West Blue again?"

"This ti I absolutely can't let him escape!"

"His shadow is mine!"

"With his shadow, I'll have an invincible blacksmith!"

"Then, boys, I'll replace all your weapons with the best ones available!"

"Kishishishi!!!"

Strange laughter echoed across the area, followed by cheers from pirates.

Gecko Moria.

A notorious pirate of the West Blue.

Just like Dracule Mihawk, he had also set his sights on Hamr, who was soon arriving in the West Blue.

Their goals were technically the sa,

Both intended to make a move against Hamr.

The only question was: In this ga of chess…

Who was the chess piece?

And who was the player?

....

anwhile, aboard the Warhamr.

Hamr was carrying a huge pile of gauntlets as he walked toward the training Dugong squad.

"Hey, Tiger Head."

"Try these."

"The weapons I forged for you guys."

"Gauntlets!"

"As the favorite weapon of martial arts masters, these gauntlets are my gift to you."

"Hurry up and put them on."

Hamr placed pairs of entirely black gauntlets before the Dugong squad.

The mont Tiger Head saw the black gauntlets, his eyes sparkled brightly.

The dugong imdiately rushed forward, grabbed a pair, and slipped them onto his fists.

"Awuu! (So cool! I must be the most handso Kung Fu Dugong on the seas!)"

"Hahaha!"

"Tiger Head, don't underestimate those gauntlets."

"I added a certain amount of Seastone to the outer layer."

"It massively increases hardness and lethality."

"They're absolutely perfect for you guys!"

Hamr had spent enormous effort integrating Seastone into the gauntlets.

He'd literally used tweezers, carefully working bit by bit.

In the end, he successfully completed fifty pairs of gauntlets for the Dugong squad.
