There was no light in the hot and cramped workshop, only the flame of the forge as the only source of light.

In the flickering light of the fire, Orn was shirtless, raising his hammer and slamming it down on the crimson block.

Bell, bell, bell.

The hammer and the block collided with a crisp sound of gold and iron, but there were not many sparks that burst out from it—indicating that there were almost no impurities and excess carbon in it.

As usual, the extended block was folded and compacted, until the final hammer fell, and a wisp of green smoke suddenly drifted out of the block.

The green smoke escaped in the workshop, and in a short time it became a rich aroma of wine.

The rising aroma of the wine is a sign of high-quality core steel forming.

Taking a few deep breaths of the somewhat intoxicating aroma, Orn's otherwise calm face couldn't help but smile a little.

The original plan was to forge high-quality wine core steel that might not be able to be forged in ten days and half a month, but now it only took seven days to complete.

Speaking of which, this is thanks to Yamato.

If it weren't for the fact that she took her to hunt with her every night, so that she could supplement the huge consumption of iron during the day by eating a large amount of food, the forging process of this wine-hearted steel would not have gone so smoothly.

Looking down at the block in his hand, although the block at this time was burned red, it was obviously a big change compared to seven days ago.

After seven days of refining, the whole block was a full circle smaller than before, but its weight did not change much.

If you don't fear the high temperature on its surface, if you look closer, you can also see that the surface of this block has at some point more than a wisp of pattern, which is a unique texture of wine-hearted steel.

The higher the purity and quality of the steel, the more obvious and magnificent the pattern becomes.

Placing his hand on the crimson block, the flow of information immediately came to mind:

[High-quality wine-hearted steel: The high-quality steel condensed after thousands of tempers has both unrivaled hardness and just the right toughness, which is the forging material that swordsmen dream of, and can also be used as the raw material carrier of legendary creations. 】

[Evaluation: This is called - a thousand tempers!] 】

With this thing, plus the hearts of the five animal-based Devil Fruit Abilities, the preparations for the Steel of the Heart are complete.

As he was thinking about it, a small pebble suddenly fell on his head.

Orn looked up at the exhaust pipe overhead, and could faintly see the Prajna mask behind the exhaust fan.

Why did you come to find yourself before it got dark, could it be......

Thinking of the possibilities that had arisen in his mind, Ounton felt his heart beat a little faster.

Grabbing the block, he quietly left the workshop, and followed the ventilation duct all the way to the back of the factory.

As soon as Orn landed here, he saw Yamato running over with four unconscious Hundred Beast Pirate minions, with irrepressible joy in his voice:

"Orn, what you asked for really made me dig it out in Quinn's lab, and besides, this is the ability that I have quietly knocked out in the past two days."

As he spoke, Yamato reached into the neckline of his upper body kimono, and after a while, he grabbed a ball...... Tinfoil.

Resisting the urge to look down and sniff, Orn took the ball of tin foil, and then pulled a thin strip of metal out of his pocket.

It was a gadget he had made in his spare time at forging the heart steel, a key the size of a key, with a groove carved in the middle, and countless small bars of serrated steel filed out of it.

Responding to Yamato's expectant gaze, Orn tore off a piece of tin foil and folded it into strips to wrap around the steel bar, then slipped it into the keyhole of the shackles he was carrying.

Because the size was measured in advance, and the toughness of the tin foil was strong, there was no stagnation in the process of reaching into the keyhole.

Orn pinched the steel bar and shook it back and forth, and after a moment twisted it in a clockwise direction, only to hear a "click" and the shackles under his feet opened.

"It's really opened!" Yamato let out an exclamation, and Orn couldn't help but smile.

This method was told by a classmate who had been a thief in his family when he was a child in his previous life, which left a deep impression on him in his childhood, but because he didn't know where to find tools, and because the method was too punishable, he never tried it.

I think it's also because the locks in the pirate world are relatively primitive, which can make him a novice success.

Without waiting for Orn to think about it, Yamato stretched out a pair of arms and looked at him with blank eyes.

Seeing this, Orn did not hesitate, and immediately tore off another piece of tin foil and concocted it in the same way.

In the process of unlocking Yamato, Orn's hand subconsciously pressed on the handcuffs, and although he withdrew his hand as if he was electrocuted the moment he touched it, a sense of powerlessness quickly swept through Orn's body, making him almost unable to hold the tin foil key in his hand.

Just touching it was enough to make his whole body weak, but Yamato had lived with this thing for a full fourteen years.

From being weak to being able to move freely, it is hard to imagine what kind of ordeal she went through during this time.

Adjusting his strength and spirit, this time, Orn deliberately wrapped the handcuffs with clothes, and after a while, Yamato's handcuffs were also opened.

Almost as soon as the handcuffs were opened, Yamato's figure quickly changed, wisps of blue-white smoke rose from his shoulders, his feet turned into giant claws with flesh pads, sharp claws grew on his hands, and a huge and fluffy tail swayed happily in mid-air behind him.

It's Yamato's fruit ability.,Animal line.、Dog fruit.、Phantom beast species.、Human-beast mode in the form of a big mouth true god.。

With this change in form, a terrifying momentum burst out from Yamato's body, and the unrivaled momentum turned into a spiritual impact like a substance, almost knocking Orn unconscious.

Fortunately, Orn was prepared and mobilized his fruit ability to resist in time, coupled with the timely control of Yamato, which did not make Orn show embarrassment.

"The handcuffs that imprisoned me for fourteen years, finally, finally ......"

Before Orn could adjust his mind, he suddenly felt an extremely elastic body crash into him:

"Aoun, thank you so much, I can finally pursue my own freedom after taking off these handcuffs!"

Feeling the strength of Yamato's arms and feeling the wetness of the tears falling on his shoulders, Orn couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and subconsciously reached out and patted Yamato's back:

"Don't cry, it's all in the past."

After a while, Yamato finally adjusted her state, she let go of Orn, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes rather embarrassed, but her mouth agreed:

"You're right, it's all in the past, from today on, I'm going to leave this ghost island, I'm going to live as freely as Otian on the sea! And all of this starts with ......"

With that, Yamato picked up his mace again, and stared at the huge torii gate with the dragon's head entrenched in the distance.

It's just that before Yamato could make a move, Orn grabbed the corner of her clothes:

"Calm down, even if you want to do something like that, at least wait for me to make some arrangements before you do it."
