Ever since incorporating Germa's weaponry and the rapid-fire guns crafted by Hamr, this was the first real head-on battle for Hamr's subordinates.
The previous skirmish with Roger didn't count, that ship was full of monsters.
The results brought by advanced firearms were imdiately apparent.
Any pirate standing in the way of the Marine fleet was ruthlessly eliminated by the firepower net.
The pressure on the Royal Army was instantly relieved.
Cobra was both delighted and thankful for his decision.
Unlike the ground battle, the sky battle between kings was explosive with the full power of the Fla-Fla Fruit.
Seeing his fla rays dodged by Hamr, Scree quickly changed tactics.
"Fla Wheel!"
Waves of fire burst from his body, transforming him into a fiery wheel-shaped monster.
"As expected, the more outlandish the move, the lar it looks."
Hamr reappeared, spitting out another brutal roast.
Scree really did look ridiculous in that form.
"Shockwave Punch!"
With a swing of his right hamr, a shockwave of air blasted the flas apart, turning them into a shower of sparks.
"Damn Marine! How dare you insult !"
"I'll burn you to ashes!"
"Sea of Fire!"
In his fury, Scree's entire body erupted in flas, unleashing a blazing inferno like a tidal wave.
"Oi?! An AoE move this big? That's just unfair!"
Hamr frowned slightly, not because he feared the fire attack.
But the flas were starting to descend and would soon engulf the ground below. Though Alabasta was a desert and unlikely to catch fire, the Royal Army and his own troops would suffer.
"Damn that old geezer Sengoku. If he told this mission involved a walking torch, I'd never have co."
"No choice... Frosbane!"
To protect his n, Hamr drew the treasured sword at his waist.
The Frosbane was unsheathed, releasing a terrifying chill.
"If you're fire, then let's see how you handle my ice!"
"Take this!"
With a powerful swing, the octagonal Hanjian imbued with intense ice energy slashed at Scree.
The raging fire was halted mid-air by a storm of ice crystals.
"Hell yeah! My craftsmanship never fails!"
"Next up... Soru!"
Seeing the flas blocked, Hamr seized the mont and flashed beside Scree.
Scree, still going berserk with flas, didn't even notice the enemy approaching.
"Eat this from Iron soone!"
"Big Hamr Eighty!"
With Armant Haki coating his Big Hamr move, Hamr smashed it into Scree's face.
"ARGH!"
BOOM!
With a scream, Scree was sent flying into the sand.
The sea of fire stopped spreading the mont he got hamred.
"Damn it... How can you even hit ? I ate the Fla-Fla Fruit! I'm fire incarnate!"
Scree was on the brink of madness after two brutal blows.
He couldn't understand it, he didn't understand it!
"Fla Fist!"
Driven insane, Scree launched a fiery punch.
Hamr frantically dodged; he didn't want his clothes burned.
"Fool. You think just having a Logia-type Fruit makes you invincible? I've hamred even light and magma. You think I can't handle a little fire guy like you?"
"Lie down! Armant: Omnidirectional hamr strike!"
Annoyed, Hamr crossed both hands and unleashed a massive assault. Armant Haki and air hamrs exploded all around.
DUANG!
THUMP!
DUANG!
THUMP!
Terrifying hamr strikes rained down from every direction, leaving Scree totally dazed.
He lost consciousness mid-beating.
But Hamr didn't notice and kept hamring away for several minutes.
When it finally stopped, Scree's soul had already left his body.
So...
Hamr vs. Little Fla Guy: Hamr wins!
Scree's subordinates, seeing their boss defeated, tried to run, but Lance wasn't about to let that happen.
The firepower net cut off their escape and trapped the pirates.
With no way out, the pirates surrendered.
"Lance, find a Seastone chain and bind him."
Lance glanced at the unrecognizable charred body of the fire giant Scree and twitched slightly.
'Tsk tsk tsk, too brutal. Even his own mother wouldn't recognize him now.'
anwhile, Hamr calmly walked up to Prince Cobra.
"Prince Cobra, the pirates have been wiped out. If there's nothing else, I'll lead the troops back now."
Cobra was still dazed, everything had happened so fast.
'That was a Logia-type Fla-Fla Fruit user... defeated just like that?'
'And when did the Marine get such terrifying firepower?'
Countless question marks floated above Cobra's head.
"Hey? Prince Cobra? Did you hear ?"
Hamr looked at the dazed prince, speechless.
'So this guy was already a dummy when he was young. No wonder Crocodile stole his country later. Too dumb.'
"Oh, oh, oh! Rear Admiral Hamr, I was just... thinking."
"You said you're leaving? Don't! Now that the pirates are gone, please allow to host you properly."
"At least stay for a al."
Cobra snapped back and grabbed Hamr's hand eagerly.
Hamr: '...What's with that look? Cobra's not supposed to be into guys, right? Otherwise, how was Vivi born?'
"No, no. I still have a mission, and these pirates need to be escorted. I'll take a rain check on the al."
Faced with Cobra's overwhelming "enthusiasm," Hamr made a hasty retreat.
Cobra stood there dumbfounded. 'What just happened? Why did he run off?'
"Hamr, what happened? You're drenched in sweat. Did the flas burn you?"
"And why did you tell to bind Scree? He's already dead."
Lance, in charge of escorting the pirates, looked at the sweaty Hamr with so confusion.
"What? He's dead?"
"Yeah, he's long gone."
Hamr: 'He couldn't take a beating, huh...'
Setting sail again, Hamr looked back at the shrinking harbor and finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Bururu bururu..."
"Bururu buru... click."
"Hello, this is Hamr. Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the mission is complete."
"Well done, Hamr. Escort him to Impel Down, then you may return to Marineford."
"Too late for that, Fleet Admiral. That Fla-Fla Fruit guy is long dead... so I can just head back to Marineford, right?"
Sengoku: '...Then why even ask?'
"He's dead. What do you think?"
"Heh, slipped up. Didn't expect him to be such a glass cannon."
Sengoku: '...Listen to this guy! A pirate with a bounty over 100 million, a glass cannon?'
Then again, this was Hamr, #4 among the Marines' new generation.
