People are pirates, and a sheep comes to open the gate of heaven

There was no light from the sky in the hot and cramped workshop, only the raging flames in the forge could serve as the only light source.

In the flickering firelight, Aoun was shirtless, raising his hand and hammering it down on the red ingot.

clang clang clang.

The collision of the hand hammer and the ingot made a crisp sound of gold and iron, but there were not many sparks splashed out from it—this shows that the impurities and excess carbon in it are almost gone.

As usual, the stretched ingot was folded and compacted until the last hammer fell, and a wisp of green smoke suddenly floated out of the ingot.

The green smoke dissipated in the workshop, and after a short while, it dissipated into a strong aroma of wine.

The rising aroma of wine is a sign of high-quality wine heart steel.

Taking a few deep breaths of this intoxicating aroma, Aoun couldn't help but smile a little more on his originally calm face.

The high-quality wine heart steel that was originally planned to be forged in ten days and a half months may not be able to be forged, but now it only took seven days to complete it.

Speaking of which, I have to thank Yamato.

If she hadn't brought her to hunt with her every night, so that she could eat a lot of food to supplement the huge consumption of iron during the day, the forging process of the wine heart steel would not have been so smooth.

He lowered his head and looked at the ingot in his hand. Although the ingot was burning red at this time, it had obviously changed a lot compared to seven days ago.

After seven days of refining, the entire ingot has shrunk by a full circle compared to before, but its weight has not changed much.

If you are not afraid of the high temperature emanating from its surface, and take a closer look with your eyes, you will find that there are traces of patterns on the surface of this ingot at some point—this is the unique texture of wine heart steel.

The higher the purity and quality of wine heart steel, the more obvious and magnificent the pattern will be.

Put your hand on the red ingot, and the flow of information immediately came to mind:

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

[Evaluation: This is called - hard work! 】

With this thing, plus the hearts of five animal devil fruit ability users, the preparations for the Heart Steel are complete.

Just as he was thinking, a small stone suddenly fell on his head.

Aoun looked up at the exhaust pipe above his head, and he could vaguely see the Prajna mask behind the exhaust fan.

Why did he come to look for him before it was dark, could it be...

Thinking of the possibility born in his heart, Aoun suddenly felt his heart beat a little faster.

He grabbed the ingot and quietly left the workshop, followed the ventilation duct all the way to the back of the factory.

As soon as Aoun landed here, he saw Yamato dragging four unconscious Beast Pirates running over, with uncontrollable joy in his voice:

"Aoun, what you asked for really made me find it in Quinn's laboratory. Also, this is the ability user I have quietly knocked out these two days."

Saying that, Yamato reached into the neckline of his upper body kimono, and after a while, he grabbed a ball of... tinfoil.

Resisting the urge to lower his head and smell it, Aoun took the ball of tinfoil, and then took out a slender metal strip from his pocket.

This is a small gadget he got out of forging wineheart steel. It is about the size of a key, with a groove carved in the middle, and countless small steel bars with serrated teeth filed out of it.

Facing Yamato's expectant gaze, Aoun tore off a piece of tin foil and folded it into a strip to wrap the steel bar, and then inserted it into the lock hole of the shackles he was carrying.

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

Aoun held the steel bar and shook it back and forth. After a while, he twisted it clockwise, only to hear a "click", and the shackles under his feet were released in response.

"It's really opened!" Yamato exclaimed, and Aoun couldn't help but smile.

This method was told by a classmate who had broken into his home when he was young in his previous life. It left a deep impression on him when he was a child. However, because he didn’t know where to find tools and the method was too harsh, he never tried it. .

Presumably, it was also because the locks in One Piece World were relatively primitive, which allowed him, a novice, to succeed for the first time.

Without waiting for Aoun to think about it, Yamato stretched out a pair of arms and looked at him eagerly.

Seeing this situation, Aoun didn't hesitate, and immediately tore off another piece of tin foil to do the same.

In the process of unlocking Yamato, Aoun subconsciously pressed his hand on the handcuffs. Although he withdrew his hand as if he was shocked the moment he touched it, a sense of powerlessness quickly swept over Aoun's whole body, making him feel uncomfortable. He could barely hold the tinfoil key in his hand.

Just touching it for a moment is enough to make him weak, but Yamato has lived with this thing for 13 years.

From being weak all over to moving freely, it is hard to imagine what kind of ordeal she has experienced during this period.

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

Almost the moment the handcuffs were opened, Yamato's figure changed rapidly, wisps of blue and white smoke rose from his shoulders, his feet turned into giant claws with pads, and sharp claws grew on his hands. With sharp claws, a huge and furry tail emerged from behind, shaking happily in mid-air.

It is Yamato's fruit ability, the human-beast mode of animal **** fruit, phantom beast species, and Oguchi true god form.

Accompanied by this change in body shape, a terrifying aura erupted from Dahe's body, and the invincible aura turned into a real spiritual shock, which almost stunned Aoun.

Fortunately, Aoun was well prepared and mobilized his fruit ability to resist in time, coupled with Yamato's timely control, this did not make Aoun show embarrassment.

"The handcuffs that have imprisoned me for 20 years, finally, finally..."

Before Aoun could adjust his mind, he suddenly felt an extremely elastic body hit him:

"Aoun, thank you very much. After taking off the handcuffs, I can finally pursue my own freedom!"

Feeling the strength of Yamato's embrace and the moist feeling of tears falling on his shoulders, Aoun couldn't help feeling emotional, and subconsciously reached out and patted Yamato's back:

"Don't cry, it's over."

After a while, Yamato finally adjusted her state. She let go of Ornn, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes in embarrassment, but agreed with her mouth:

"You're right, it's all over. From today onwards, I'm going to leave this ghost island, and I'm going to the sea to live freely like Mita! And all of this starts from..."

Speaking of this, Yamato swung his mace again, staring fiercely at the huge torii gate with the bronze statue of the dragon head in the distance.

However, before Yamato could make a move, Aoun grabbed her by 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 doing it."
