The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

Chapter 1445 The Drum of Liberation

Garp didn't expect that his grandson would awaken the Conqueror's Haki in the middle of a battle, which really gave him a big surprise, but he didn't dare to show his happiness on his face.

The grandson has an amazing talent, but unfortunately the place where he shows it is not a good choice. There are countless pairs of eyes in Marineford, staring at the Straw Hat Boy.

If Luffy, who possesses the demeanor of a king, had not died halfway, he would have grown into a great pirate and would have become a major threat to the navy sooner or later.

Some poor unlucky navy officers were knocked unconscious by the domineering color of their own navy hero, and later they were knocked unconscious by the navy hero's grandson with the more immature domineering color. The grandfather and grandson were serving a group of people at the same time.

Standing on the city wall supervising the battle, Sengoku looked in the direction of the grandfather and grandson with a complicated expression, "Garp, the choice you made will eventually lead to a worse direction. Luffy, are you Nika?"

Sengoku recalls Sakaski's warning that if the lava demon in his dream wasn't deceiving, Garp's grandson is really Nika.

The legendary sun god and freedom fighter who liberated all slaves will always stand on the opposite side of the navy from the moment Luffy becomes Nika.

The navy is a group that controls violence. From the very beginning, it has only used force to conquer everything. Giving others freedom or liberating slaves is not in line with the navy's way of survival.

Garp also wanted to ask about the Senzu Beans. There were so many secrets about his grandson that even the grandfather was very curious about how many Senzu Beans Luffy had left.

Whether the Senzu Beans are useful to other people, if they are eaten by other people, the effect is the same as instantly restoring physical strength, then the Senzu Beans have strategic value and must not be obtained by the big pirates.

"Luffy, I know you are a good boy, but your strength is too weak to change the situation. No matter how many Senzu Beans you eat, it will be useless"!

What Garp said was true. In the battlefield of Marinford, the weak were not even qualified to sit at the table.

The reason why Luffy made it all the way here without encountering any obstruction from the admirals of the navy was because he was too weak and not worth the admirals' attack. The highest combat power had more important goals.

Luffy didn't respond to Garp. He raised his head and looked towards the execution platform, meeting Ace's eyes. Although neither of them spoke, the brotherhood between them was still surging in their hearts.

Teacher Muten gave Luffy only two Senzu Beans in total. He had already used one, and the remaining one was to be left for Ace. The Straw Hat Boy had no way out.

"Grandpa, thank you for raising me over the years..."

Before Luffy could finish his words, Garp's iron fist, wrapped in domineering aura, came crashing down, and the air let out a dying groan.

That was no ordinary fist. It was the strength that the naval hero had cultivated throughout his life. It was the iron fist that had once pushed Roger into a desperate situation.

At this moment, filled with anger hotter than magma and disappointment heavier than seastone, before the fist could reach the ground, spider-web-like cracks had already appeared on the ground.

Luffy stood still. He didn't even look up at the approaching fist. He just slowly raised his right hand, opened and clenched his five fingers, and the domineering color in his body was brewing.

"Luffy, get away!" Ace and Sabo yelled at the top of their lungs, but Luffy turned a deaf ear to them.

Luffy raised his skinny fist to fight against the iron fist of the navy hero. To outsiders, it seemed that he was overestimating his own abilities, and his skinny arm would definitely be pierced by Garp.

Garp's iron fist has been proven in practice, while Luffy's fist is tender and soft. In the eyes of outsiders, the Straw Hat Boy, who has lost the protection of his family, is a loser from the beginning.

The moment Garp's iron fist and Luffy's rubber fist collided, time seemed to suddenly freeze. There was no earth-shattering noise, but instead dead silence - the wind suddenly stopped.

There was no sound of bones breaking on either side, and even the tassels on Garp's cloak stopped in their raised arc. Outsiders finally realized that something was wrong.

Two domineering auras collided fiercely at the point of contact. Visible black lightning exploded and disappeared between the fists of the two men. The air was compressed into a transparent red barrier, isolating everything around it.

Garp's brows furrowed suddenly. He could clearly feel the recoil of his fist. It was not the reckless impact of a young man.

It is the tenacity accumulated from countless life-and-death battles, and the hard bones tempered after seeing companions bleed and tasting the bitterness of defeat.

This force actually firmly received his full-strength attack, like two reefs that refused to give in, pressing against each other in the raging sea.

Luffy's eyes were very calm, without anger or grievance, only a calmness like the sea, and in that calmness lay a stubbornness deeper than the sea.

"Hahahaha...Grandpa," Luffy's crisp laughter was trembling with domineering aura, but it was extremely clear, "My fist can now withstand your iron fist."

Garp's fist trembled slightly, and his domineering aura became a little disordered. He saw his own shadow reflected in Luffy's eyes.

The kid who had been chased and beaten by him in Windmill Village was now standing opposite him, using the same fist to catch his whole world. The image of Luffy began to change in his eyes.

"Who are you"?!

Luffy grinned and laughed, his hearty laughter made the air tremble, and there was a magical power in that laughter.

Amidst his hearty laughter, billowing white steam continued to gush out from his mouth and nose, swirling around his body like a steamer that had just been opened.

The white mist was not illusory, but carried a substantial heat, climbing up along the lines of his taut muscles and condensing into a vague mist behind him.

His black hair was the first to change. A layer of frost quickly spread across the roots, and in the blink of an eye it covered his entire head. His fluffy short hair looked like first snow, glowing softly in the sunlight.

The white mist was still swirling, flowing down his neck, wrapping around his shoulders and chest, and even the muscle lines on his arms were outlined more clearly by the steaming white mist.

Even more shocking was the movement in his body, as if an invisible war drum was beating in his chest, "dong dong, dong dong", the dull yet powerful vibration passed along his bones to his fingertips, and even the ground beneath his feet trembled slightly.

Not only could Garp hear the drumbeats, but even the navy who were farther away could hear the joyful sound of liberation. In full view of everyone, Luffy was undergoing a change that was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Before the laughter died down, the white mist had completely engulfed Luffy's whole body. His originally bronze skin was now covered with a hazy white, like a layer of moonlight, but with a scorching temperature.

Luffy raised his head and laughed even more happily, with a bright light shining in his eyes, as if there was a fire burning in them - that was the spirit of a liberation fighter who was determined to overturn all obstacles.

The pure white burning flame gradually wrapped around Luffy like a ribbon. This was the concrete manifestation of the awakening of the Animal-type Fruit.

In the white mist, the drumbeats became louder and louder, more and more urgent, announcing the coming of a storm.
