"I finally understand why it often took months for the ancient blacksmiths to make a magical weapon."
As night fell, Master Ao was so tired after a busy day that he could hardly stand up straight, and his arms were as heavy as lead.
He swung a hammer thousands of times today. Although the hammer was only an octagonal hand hammer of about 40 kilograms, it was not a big burden for a big man like him who was over 2.5 meters tall. Being able to swing the ball thousands of times can be considered an extraordinary performance.
But even so, the cooked wine iron ingot can only reach the level of nine forgings, and it cannot even be considered as low-quality wine-core steel.
"According to this progress, it will take at least ten and a half days to transform that large piece of cooked wine iron into high-quality wine core steel..."
This is just the preparation for forging the heart steel. Once the wine heart steel is forged, we have to find a way to collect the hearts of ability users.
After completing the preparatory work, there are still countless processes waiting for him, and during this period, he has to be careful to prevent the members of the Beasts Pirates from discovering the changes in his abilities...
"Things are really not as simple as I thought!"
With this sigh, Aoun walked into the factory canteen.
After waiting in line for a long time, he finally received his dinner.
The staple food is twenty pieces of the same type of rice dumplings that Luffy and Kid ate in Rabbit Prison, and the side dishes are something like kimchi. It's so dark that it's hard to tell what it is.
Because he was really hungry, Aoun didn't have the time to dwell on it, and ate up the millet dumplings and side dishes in just a few mouthfuls.
"Tsk~"
But after dinner, Aoun's brows furrowed even more.
This little food is really a drop in the bucket for him.
Before, he was overly hungry and didn't feel anything. Now, after eating the twenty millet dumplings, not only did he not feel full at all, but it actually brought out the glutton in his belly.
Suppressing the thought of robbing other people's food, Aoun controlled himself and walked out of the cafeteria quickly. In his heart, he wished Kaido and Black Carbon Orochi would never be able to eat four dishes in their next life, while thinking about where to go to get something to eat. .
It's difficult to even maintain the basal metabolism just by relying on those millet dumplings in the cafeteria, plus the huge consumption of blacksmithing... no matter how special the pirate's physique is, he can't withstand such a torment.
As time goes by, I am afraid that I will starve to death before I can create the steel of the heart.
If you can leave the weapons factory, you might be able to find a way to go to the beach to catch some unpolluted sea fish and bake them for dinner...
But the problem is that as a blacksmith at the lowest level, with shackles on his feet, he can't leave the factory at all. Even if he manages to escape, he will soon be discovered by the Image Phone Bug and be arrested by the Beast Pirates. return.
what to do!
Just when Aoun was upset, a hand suddenly appeared from the shadow around the corner and covered his mouth, followed by a huge force, pulling him and disappearing into the shadow.
Aoun was startled by this sudden turn of events, and subconsciously reached for his pocket. In order to defend himself, he took the opportunity to sneak attack on the animal-type ability user of the Beast Pirates, and secretly hid half of the weapon that had been fused by the magma. Fire tongs.
The half of the fire tongs has been polished by him to form a sharp tip. If he stabs it unexpectedly, it will definitely make the opponent bleed, and maybe it will also have a tetanus effect...
Aoun took out half of the fire tongs and was about to raise his hand to stab, when he suddenly heard an indistinguishable male and female voice in his ears:
"Don't be nervous, I won't hurt you, I just want you to do me a favor."
When the other party was talking, Aoun could clearly feel his back touching something soft and hard because their bodies were close to each other.
Um? !
Aoun, who was still a little hesitant at first, temporarily relaxed his tense body, leaned his whole body on the other party, and allowed the other party to drag him to an unknown place.
When Aoun realized that even if he did this, the other party didn't give him a big dick, he immediately made a guess in his mind, first let out a slight whine, and then nodded.
Noticing Aoun's movements, the person behind him finally let go of his hand, letting him regain his freedom.
Aoun turned to look at the mysterious man who suddenly appeared, and saw that the man was about the same height as him, with two horns on his head, a Hannya mask on his face, a white close-fitting kimono, a long red skirt, and a huge belt tied around his waist. There was a rope attached to his hand, and a pair of handcuffs were clearly attached to his wrists.
The moment he saw this outfit, Aoun couldn't help but secretly thought, "Sure enough."
The mysterious person who suddenly appeared was none other than Kaido’s own daughter, the ghost princess Yamato, who calls herself “Kozuki Oden”!
But...why did this filial daughter appear in this weapons factory?
Aoun was confused at first, but after carefully recalling the plot of the anime, he was quickly relieved.
This filial daughter was forced by her father to not even have a bite to eat, so she could only wander around the ghost island all year round, just like a randomly refreshed NPC in the game, but it didn't feel strange to bump into her wherever she happened to be.
However, Yamato, who is "wanted" everywhere, was able to sneak into a weapons factory full of real fighters. Doesn't this mean that... the other party knows the hidden route out of the factory? !
There’s hope for something to do!
Here, when Aoun was thinking about how to let Yamato take him out to eat, he suddenly saw the other party extending his arm as white as cream to him.
The arms were white and firm, but the original beauty was ruined by the pair of dark shackles.
"You are an esper who has not been discovered by your father...and the people of the Beasts Pirates, right? Could you please use your ability to help me open these handcuffs?"
As she said this, she was afraid that Aoun would reject her, so she spoke again:
"Don't worry, as a warrior, I pay the most attention to repaying kindness. As long as you can help me open the handcuffs, I will definitely protect you and never let you be implicated because of me!"
After finishing his words, he bowed deeply again, showing his full sincerity.
Aoun looked away uncomfortably, but couldn't help but ask:
"How do you know I am an esper?"
"I accidentally saw you using your abilities before."
Having said this, Yamato raised the handcuffs in his hand to Aoun again, and the smile in his tone could not be hidden even through the mask:
"For you, this should be a very simple matter. Just pour the less hot magma into it, and when the magma cools down to a solid key, you can open the key below..."
Aoun's eyelids jumped after hearing what he said. He interrupted before the other party could finish his words:
"Is it possible that even the slightly cooled magma has a temperature higher than ordinary flames, enough to detonate a bomb and blow us up into the sky?"
"Oh, is this possible?!"
