I Am the Strongest (XVIII) / I Am the Strongest (Finale)

Unexpectedly, Whitebeard broke through the spell of his unfailing ability to Future Sight.

That makes sense, after all, this world also possesses Observation Haki, which Future Sight, and the incredible ability to 'Voice of All Things'.

It's only natural that Whitebeard, who fought Roger, could come up with a solution.

Chapter 275 I Am the Strongest (18)

"There's no other way..."

He watched as the Whitebeard, whose legs were bleeding but who seemed completely unaffected, strode towards him.

Arthur suddenly exhaled a breath of stale air, and a golden light began to emanate from his body.

Reaching out to grasp the radiance, the magnificent Excalibur was once again in his hand.

Gripping the sword hilt with one hand, Arthur's expression was utterly calm, but the pupils of his emerald green eyes contracted in circles.

An inexplicable pressure emanated directly from Arthur's body.

'Buzz~ Click!!'

'Boom--'

Upon seeing this tomb, Whitebeard, who hadn't even stopped Arthur from using his 'True Name Release: Excalibur', raised his fist again and unleashed a powerful punch.

As the atmospheric cracks spread, the force of the shockwave, no less powerful than before, roared toward Arthur like an invisible tsunami.

Arthur, who had been trying to capture that feeling, could only give up and avoid it.

"Gurararara... What Monster brat! Even at this level, you can still unleash such a slash?" Seeing Arthur dodge his attack, Whitebeard laughed heartily, but his eyes turned serious.

Whitebeard was naturally familiar with the feeling Arthur gave off just now.

On the contrary, he was very familiar with it.

Back then, whether I was fighting Shiki or Roger, I experienced that kind of slash that transcended the rules more than once.

There are countless swordsmen, but Great Swordsman swordsmen are extremely rare.

This statement directly divides the two into a world of difference, like heaven and earth.

Whether it was Shiki the Golden Lion or Gol D. Roger, the reason they were able to stand on equal footing with Whitebeard was largely due to the Great Swordsmen.

Golden Lion was alright; besides his outstanding Swordsmanship, he also possessed the incredibly powerful Paramecia Float -Float-Float Fruit, making him a formidable figure of his era.

But Roger was different; he wasn't a power user.

The reason he can stand on equal footing with Golden Lion and Whitebeard is because of the 'Conqueror's Domain' and the Great Swordsman's strikes.

'Voice of All Things' is an incredibly powerful ability. Besides assisting in overcoming adversity, it can also help Roger capture that fleeting feeling that even the Great Swordsmen struggle to grasp.

Therefore, he is a very formidable enemy.

Whitebeard knew all too well the power of Great Swordsman's strike.

However, the reason he interrupted Arthur was not because of the Great Swordsman's slash.

Although this strike is very powerful, it is a strike that transcends the rules.

But as long as you dodge it, even the strongest slash is nothing.

The reason Whitebeard had to intervene was because his sons were located about twenty nautical miles behind him.

That kind of slash that transcends the rules doesn't lose power like an ordinary slash, even if it travels a long distance.

Although Whitebeard had never experienced Arthur's Great Swordsman strike, he would never take that risk.

Great Swordsman's slash that can cleave an entire island, twenty nautical miles is really not far!

However, unleashing such a strike comes at a price; on the contrary, the price is extremely high.

Even ordinary slashes consume energy and spirit, let alone the slashes of Great Swordsman.

To be honest, in his prime, Arthur would rather use '500 Million Volts: Spear of Sanction's than unleash the Great Swordsman's slash.

'500 Million Volts - Spear of Sanction's at most consumes physical strength, while the Great Swordsman's Slash consumes spirit and energy.

Furthermore, the stronger the strike, the greater the consumption of vital energy and spirit.

"Very well, then let's fight to the death!" Arthur suddenly said with a smile, holding Excalibur in both hands as he charged towards Whitebeard.

In fact, Arthur can still use the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's power at will.

However, aside from Elemental Transformation, Whitebeard cannot use his 200 million volt attack. He might be able to use it, but he would inevitably be exhausted afterward, and it might not even be able to hurt Whitebeard. Attacks below 200 million volts are even less likely to be effective against Whitebeard.

Using energy haphazardly is a waste of unnecessary energy.

Arthur, who was familiar with the original Monster, knew all too well how strong Whitebeard's willpower was.

In the comic, even with half his head burned away and two huge craters smashed into his chest, and his internal organs burned to pieces, he could still unleash the power to shake the ocean.

With his ordinary physique, Arthur had no chance against Monster like Whitebeard.

So Arthur had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

Or rather, it's buying yourself time.

Arthur never regretted his decision.

But this time, a rare hint of regret arose.

If he had known he couldn't break the Seven Seals, he wouldn't have transferred all his Mana into them.

Now look what's happened; he's put himself in a dangerous situation!

"Gurararara... A frontal attack, huh? Just what I wanted!" Whitebeard laughed as he watched Arthur charge towards him, carrying his naginata and running heavily toward Arthur.

0...

On this precarious island, which seems poised to collapse and sink into the sea with just one powerful earthquake.

'Clang!'

'Clang clang--'

The loud clanging of metal echoed throughout the world.

Even without the clash of Conqueror's Haki, the sky turned gloomy.

The clouds were pitch black.

Sparks flew onto the two of them, grazing Arthur's face and landing on Whitebeard's trousers.

Two figures, one tall and one short, were engaged in a fierce battle with cold weapons.

'Pfft--'

'Clang!!'

The sound of a sharp blade slicing through flesh rang out, and blood spurted from Whitebeard's body.

Arthur, who had leaped into the air, was also struck by a gleaming blade, which sparked against his pale silver armor and left a deep crack.

"Laser--"

Before flying backward, Arthur seized an opportunity, extended his index finger towards Whitebeard, and released a blue-white bolt of lightning that pierced through Whitebeard's body, leaving a small charred hole in his stomach.

"Hmph--" Whitebeard grunted, assuming a stance with his naginata in hand.

'Buzz~'.

Chapter 276 I Am the Strongest (The End)

'Buzz~ Click!'

The blade, coated with a layer of transparent white light, swept out horizontally.

The atmosphere shattered, and a powerful shockwave surged forth, quickly catching up with the backward-flying Arthur and completely engulfing him.

Faced with this shockwave, Arthur was transformed into a shower of sparks.

After the shockwave passed through, the sparks of electricity that had been flashing in the air finally coalesced back into Arthur's figure.

However, much of that physical strength was wasted.

"He can still use his abilities. No wonder he's the World's Strongest Monster." Sweat beaded on Arthur's forehead. He glanced down at his chest and saw a deep gash on his silver-white robe, almost touching the long coat underneath.

"However, it'll be soon..."

After making that remark, Arthur's lips curled up slightly.

Looking at the Whitebeard ahead, who was also panting heavily, a meaningful look flashed in his eyes.

Whitebeard was very strong!

He's incredibly strong, completely deserving of the title 'the World's Strongest Man'.

Unlike Kaido, who is all muscle and easy to defeat once his defenses are broken, this is a different story.

Arthur had fought against three of the Four Emperors, and only suffered a loss once at the hands of 'Big Mom' Charlotte Linlin, and that was due to his carelessness.

He fought Kaido twice, and both times he completely outmaneuvered the Strongest Creature.

He also lost out in the contest of Shanks's Conqueror's Haki Shanks.

But the only person who made him look foolish was the 'World's Strongest Man' standing in front of him.

Despite his carelessness, this was the first time Arthur had found himself in a tough battle.

Before absolute power, all schemes and schemes vanquish.

That statement is absolutely correct!

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit, touted as the strongest Paramecia Fruit, renders any strategy useless unless Whitebeard is completely exhausted.

Now, both Arthur and Whitebeard have reached their physical limits.

Even though the Monster before him could draw Monster from the soul, Arthur was no match for it.

But now, Arthur is no longer afraid.

As the battle progressed, Arthur's depleted Mana had recovered somewhat.

"Show your might!" - Don Starion

At that moment, the Excalibur in Arthur's hand vanished in golden light, replaced by a slender, silvery Holy Lance.

The Holy Lance gleamed with a faint golden light as Arthur raised it high.

'Call out--'

A beam of golden light, similar to a laser beam, shot out directly from the tip of the Holy Lance.

Golden light shot into the sky and seeped into the dark clouds.

"Hiss..."

Before long, the sound of horses neighing reached the ears of the whole world.

A magnificent white horse descended from the sky.

Like a beam of light, it flew swiftly and landed beside Arthur.

'Riding Mode--'

Arthur leaped onto the back of the "East Starion" horse, and the slender, silver-white Holy Lance in his hand instantly changed shape, transforming into a long spear encircled by a halo of light.

At the same time, a glint of pale silver light flashed across Arthur's armor, which bore a long, narrow blade scar.

In the next instant, the sword mark left by the Whitebeard vanished completely.

In the next instant, the sword mark left by the Whitebeard vanished completely.

"Whitebeard, this is the final blow!" Arthur raised his heavy spear, pointing it directly at Whitebeard, and shouted, "Let's settle this!"

"Is it coming? The final blow!!"
