"Hamr, are you really okay handing that stuff over to the society just like that?"
"What else can I do? After what happened earlier, I guarantee that bastard Santos won't dare pull anything again."
As Hamr walked out of the Hydra Society, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
The self-moving iron bed had already been arranged by Santos to appear in tonight's auction.
Hamr was confident it would sell for a good price.
And that bed was just one item. The iron bed, the X-ray glasses, and the invisibility hat, he had entrusted Santos to auction them all.
"You seriously just went to Sabaody to sell stuff like that? Aren't you afraid the higher-ups will co down on you later?"
Hamr gave Lance a side-eye.
"Do I need you to tell that?"
"I blew up the whole arsenal. If I don't sell sothing, how am I going to pay it back?"
Lance: '… Right, I forgot this guy just launched a fireworks show in Marineford…'
"After this auction, I think Master Ornn's na will spread like wildfire."
Hamr was confident. After the success in the North Blue auction, he knew how tempting these creations were to the nobles.
That night, the auction at Hydra Society was on fire.
The X-ray glasses and invisibility hat had already made waves among the nobility since their debut in the North Blue.
Their reappearance caused an imdiate sensation.
Countless nobles flocked to the scene.
anwhile, Hamr wasn't at the auction. He was in his base at Grove 66, forging away.
Even though he was still injured, his strong physique allowed him to recover quickly. And besides, what were a few injuries to Hamr? Nothing would stop his will to forge.
"Cryolite…"
"Refined iron…"
"Hmm… as long as I'm careful, it should be fine."
Clang
Clang
The rhythmic hamring rang out.
After the last explosion, Hamr was being extrely careful this ti, using special steel plates as the main material, with small amounts of cryolite and refined iron.
Cryolite carried ice elents, and refined iron fused well with steel. The two combined could suppress the instability of the ice elent.
He hamred cautiously, worried that one wrong hit could cause another explosion.
After exactly 333 strikes, the cryolite and refined iron fused perfectly with the steel plate.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
The hardest part was done; what remained was shaping the blade.
But he still couldn't afford to be careless.
Clang
The hamring sound shifted from heavy to light.
Using fruit-powered hamr blows, Hamr carefully began shaping the steel billet.
Clang
Clang
Gradually, the form of a long sword took shape.
Clang
"Hamr! Hamr!"
Suddenly, a frantic voice shouted from outside the door, startling Hamr so much that he nearly lost control of his strike.
"Who is it?! I said not to disturb ! Are you blind or deaf?!"
"If this place explodes again, the Sabaody branch will be wiped off the map!"
"I swear I'll smash you into a pot lid!"
Standing awkwardly at the doorway was Lance, now facing Hamr's furious glare.
Hamr glared daggers at him, waiting for a good explanation.
"My bad, Hamr. I got too excited and forgot."
"Santos from the society sent soone over… with a check for 1 billion berries! One billion!"
"Huh? So?"
"That's your reason for interrupting my forging?"
Lance was stunned. That wasn't the reaction he expected.
"Dude, it's one billion! Aren't you the least bit excited?!"
Hamr couldn't be bothered to argue. He turned back and resud hamring.
"Look at you, so easily impressed. Just a re billion berries?"
"I'm speechless. Can't you set yourself a small goal? Like… earn 10 billion first?"
"One billion, pfft."
Lance was completely dumbfounded. 'A billion is not a big deal?'
'That's a lot, okay?!'
Clang
The crisp sound of the hamr rang out again as Hamr spoke:
"Lance, broaden your horizons. As my adjutant, don't be blinded by money, it's just a worldly possession."
"Alright, go cool off. Also, call HQ and tell that old man Kong that the compensation for the arsenal has been handled."
See? That's vision. That's class. That's just how amazing Hamr is.
Lance nodded and was just about to leave when he suddenly rembered sothing.
"Oh, right, there's sothing else Santos told to pass along."
CLANG!
That sentence caused Hamr to hit the tal a little too hard. His murderous gaze once again fell on Lance.
"Uhh, I'll say it and go. Santos said… There was a Celestial Dragon at the auction. He bought all three of your items."
"Sothing like Roz… Watt… Saint?"
!!!
'Saint Rosward?'
'Could it be that Rosward he knew?'
He never expected an ordinary auction to actually attract the attention of a Celestial Dragon.
"I'm going now, continue on, continue on."
Lance hurried away, and Hamr resud forging.
But in his mind, an image of a Celestial Dragon in a glass helt and bloated suit appeared.
Yes, it was exactly the Rosward Saint he rembered.
"If it's really him, he should still be a young man right now. Tsk tsk tsk… guy must be really in need. Otherwise, why would he buy a bed?"
Hamr chuckled and continued forging.
Clang~
Clang~
As the hamr fell again and again, the long sword finally took shape.
[Ding! Critical Crafting Triggered: Sword Hardness 100%. Cryolite Ice Elent Effect 100%.]
'What is perfection?'
'This is perfection!'
With the prompt, Hamr knew this sword could truly be called a masterpiece.
He carefully inspected the blade from every angle. Once satisfied, he proceeded with an oil quench to stabilize it.
Ssshhh
The quenching process went smoothly. When he pulled the sword from the oil barrel, a long blade glowing faintly blue appeared before him.
"Looks good. Now, for the ice elent…"
Thinking of this, Hamr took the sword and walked to the shore.
The patrolling soldiers couldn't help but pause when they saw him.
Hamr's na was already legendary on Sabaody. His exceptional forging skills were well-known.
And after his special training at HQ, his status only rose, putting the local branch in the spotlight.
"Hope this works…"
Hamr solemnly dipped the sword into the sea.
Sssss…
As the blade touched the water, a surge of cold air began to spread, slowly freezing the surrounding seawater.
Hamr was overjoyed!
"It worked!"
"HAHAHAHA! THE FROSTBANE SWORD!"
Cackling madly, Hamr dashed back to the workshop, leaving the soldiers staring in confusion.
Though overwheld with excitent, the sword wasn't complete yet, its final parts were still crucial.
After careful selection for practicality and aesthetics, the final product specs were:
Handle: Wrapped in iron paracord
