Chapter 411 The Drum of Liberation

The ferocious appearance of the frost demon disappeared from Arthur's skin, and he returned to his human form and walked in front of Robin.

The shape of the eyes changed forever, and they were no longer human eyes.

The vertical pupils in the eyes were dark and layered like tar.

The area around the pupil is like petrified vitreous, with a frosted and frosted crystal-like outline.

A pair of dragon eyes materialized in his eyes and body, just like his manic domineering aura.

"Letting go is something that only the weak can do when they are powerless against the strong. I am not that kind of person, Robin. And now I am the strongest person in the world! All lives are inferior to me, and you want me to let go and...live an ordinary life?"

Arthur told Robin the truest truth and spoke to her confidently about his current situation.

Ice, shock, and soul, the three great powers of the devil fruit, plus the domineering power that is enough to shake the world, unrivaled swordsmanship, and a body and experience honed from fighting.

This overwhelming power that is enough to determine every life in the world requires Arthur to let go of the past, which Arthur absolutely cannot do.

"He... Luffy! He's just an innocent boy who pursues his dream as a pirate. Arthur, you don't have to kill him!"

Hearing this, Arthur smiled slightly and turned to look at the sunset in the sky.

"The person standing in front of you once risked his life to protect the lives of this world. He is innocent, romantic, kind, sincere, and righteous..."

The soul chains tied to Robin's limbs forced her to move again while Arthur was speaking.

He walked in front of Luffy and raised the blade in his hand again.

Arthur looked at her askance and continued:

"But what I faced was the bullets of those unruly people. They didn't know the truth, but only believed in public opinion and attacked and assassinated me again and again!"

"No... Arthur!" Robin looked at Luffy who was mentally broken in front of him, begging Arthur with tears in his eyes.

"I am no longer the same as before. Don't let me do this kind of thing with my own hands."

"Even so, I've never hurt anyone I cared about, Robin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Arthur stretched out his hand and actively controlled the soul chain to control Robin's knife-holding hands, and stabbed Luffy under her.

"What on earth did these little devils give you that made you so reluctant to give it up?"

"Youth!" Robin said these two words from the bottom of her heart, something she had never had.

The cold tip of the knife cut through the air and rushed straight towards Luffy's head on the ice.

"Fuck my youth...I never had it either!" Arthur was speechless and stared at the tip of the knife and complained to himself.

The stronger he becomes, the more he feels he can become his true self.

Besides, this body has stopped aging, so he has plenty of time to make up for it besides fighting.

At this moment, Arthur vaguely saw Luffy's hair flowing like liquid, and a force gathered in the surrounding air at an extremely fast speed.

Boom...the sound of drums came from Luffy's body.

Boom boom... The melody, filled with hope for the coming dawn, began to interfere with the environment around Luffy.

Boom! Instantly, a domineering shock wave intertwined with red lightning burst out from Luffy's body.

Robin was instantly blown away by the domineering color blooming from Luffy's body, and the soul chains binding her limbs broke in an instant.

The pure white liquid quickly wrapped around Luffy's body, making it look very elastic.

White flames linger around the shoulders, symbolizing the awakening of the animal system.

"Is the Devil Fruit soul resisting the ultimate awakening before death?" Arthur quickly regained his composure after seeing this scene and said disdainfully,

"But it's a dying struggle."

The domineering attack quickly dodged around with Luffy as the center, and the indestructible ice surface behind him bounced up in a large area like jelly with elasticity.

"What's going on...?" Luffy's hazy mind was also awakened by this sudden surge of power, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

“Hahaha… my body… is full of strength… it seems like I can do anything.”

dong dong dong...

The melody of the liberation drum emanated from Luffy's heart, and the sound of the drum became louder and louder, spreading to all parts of the world.

"That's...! A Liberation Warrior!" Robin, who was blown away by the power that suddenly awakened in Luffy's body, steadied herself and used the power of the Flower-Flower Fruit to spread her wings and hover in the air, staring down.

"Sun God, Nika."

The glacier under Luffy shattered and repaired, and instantly became as elastic as rubber.

"I have overcome everything!" Arthur, who was less than ten meters away from Luffy, clenched his fists and walked quickly left and right in the midst of Luffy's domineering shockwave that suddenly expanded a hundred times.

"This is what you wanted to see happen by stalling for time, right, Robin? Watch me fight him? Watch me tear him apart with my own hands!!!"

After saying that, Arthur also released a powerful domineering shock wave towards Luffy.

The two domineering forces collided in an instant, causing the entire glacier to shake violently.

The world seemed to be shaking and the space was shaking violently.

"Then you just watch carefully and see how I shatter the prophecy, ah!"

After discovering that the Conqueror's Haki impact created a collision effect, Arthur let out a terrifying beast roar and decisively rushed towards Luffy, clenching his right fist and punching out.

"My body... can actually move?" Luffy smiled, "I don't know what happened... but I seem to have gained some incredible power."

Boom! Arthur threw a brutal right straight punch right into Luffy's face.

The touch of the fist felt like liquid, which made Arthur's mouth twitch and he felt it was extremely outrageous.

Luffy's punch was greatly weakened by the flexibility of his body.

However, the remaining force of the punch still gave him quite a shock.

Just when his body was about to fly out, his pure white body seemed to be inflated, and he instantly mobilized a force to gather in his right fist, and attacked Arthur's face in front of him.

The fist was extremely fast in Arthur's eyes, and his unique observation Haki had no slowing effect.

"The little brat who couldn't even withstand my domineering aura just now! How could he get such powerful strength so easily!" Arthur stared at the fist and gritted his teeth.

"What are the decades of fighting and grief I have experienced?"

Arthur quickly twisted his neck and dodged Luffy's punch that was thrown at him unexpectedly.

"Hah!" Just as he was about to retract his fist into his body, Arthur grabbed his outstretched right arm and shouted, then turned around and threw him over his shoulder, pulling him up by the roots and smashing him to the ground as hard as a glacier.

"Oh... No...!" Luffy laughed, his body floating in the air and falling into the glacier like a sonic cannonball.

It looked like an ordinary shoulder throw, but it contained Arthur's terrifying power.

Boom! The moment he fell to the ground, Luffy instantly turned the hard ice into rubber to act as a buffer.

But Arthur's terrifying power was displayed for a moment, and even the elastic glacier became as hard as steel.

"Ah——!" Luffy fell into the ice, crying and laughing.

Although seemingly injured, the deafening rhythm of the drum of liberation became faster.

He stood up quickly, clenched his right fist, took a firm horse stance, and slapped the wavy ground with one hand. He grinned with his usual fighting attitude, raised his head and looked at Arthur in front of him.

“Hahahahahaha…! Nami, Chopper, Usopp, Zoro, Ace, Sabo, Sanji! They are all my most precious friends!”

Arthur also grinned at him, with an arrogant look in his eyes as if he was looking at a piece of trash, "Do you think you are still you?"

"Of course!" Luffy had the strength to resist and responded to Arthur with great determination.

"I am Monkey D. Luffy! The warrior who awakened after you killed all my family, benefactors, and partners!"

Hearing this, Arthur couldn't help laughing and looked up at Robin in the sky.

"Hahahaha! Did you see that? Robin! Once the oppressed weakling has the power to resist the strong, will he let it go?"

Robin stood there in a daze. Arthur taught her these profound truths every time with practical actions.

"Will he get over the fact that I killed his friend and live a peaceful life?"
