...

...

Ifrit glared at Garuda with fury, its immense form standing out in the scenery as amethyst flames danced around it, giving it a threatening aura.

'I am being influenced by my own Eikon...' Luffy's thoughts echoed in his mind, realizing that the beast within him craved a brutal battle. Feeling the storm of emotions roaring like a hurricane, he murmured internally, deciding to fight against his opponent like a true wild beast.

[Moa moa no mi: Mind, apply 3 times!] Faced with the imminent loss of control to the inner beast, Luffy acted swiftly, invoking the power of his Devil Fruit to strengthen his mind and stay conscious for a while longer while battling for control. Luffy's mind briefly shone with a golden light as he struggled to subdue the instinctive fury of the Eikon.

'These Eikons are more dangerous than I imagined. I need to end this before my mind succumbs to Ifrit's will. It's a shame I can't apply the Moa Moa no Mi to other aspects, as I am using its application in the mind. I'll have to fight using Ifrit's power alone.'
'But I have to admit, it's incredible to be a colossal monster of 50 meters. The perspective is completely different when flying at this height. Looking down and seeing my crew like ants below is fascinating. This transformation isn't bad, despite making me an easy target. My body is much more resistant, and my strength is several times greater now, compared to the phase 2 transformation.' Luffy reflected, finding a hint of fascination amid the chaos of battle.

Transforming into a giant colossus of 50 meters, Luffy felt an overwhelming sense of power and grandeur. The elevated perspective provided him with a panoramic view of the battlefield, where his comrades and enemies resembled small dots compared to his immense stature. The feeling of dominance and control over the environment was palpable, while the world below seemed to shrink in the face of his colossal presence.

Every step Luffy took reverberated like a tremor, echoing his unparalleled strength. His now robust and resistant body contrasted with the apparent fragility of those below him. The higher breeze, distant sounds, and even the smell of the environment took on a new dimension when experienced from such an extraordinary height.

Despite becoming an obvious target, Luffy couldn't help but marvel at the unique perspective that the transformation offered. The aerial view and the feeling of being in control of a colossal force added an additional layer of complexity and fascination to the experience of being a true giant in battle.

Garuda growled, drawing Luffy's attention once again.

*ROAAARRR!* Garuda's thunderous roar echoed, challenging Luffy in his imposing Ifrit form.

While amethyst fire enveloped Ifrit, Luffy thought, 'Sorry, Nami, but I'll have to smack you until you're back to normal!' His scarlet eyes were focused on the gigantic harpy before him.

*ROAAAARRRR!* Ifrit responded to Garuda's challenge, releasing a powerful roar as a declaration of its own fury.

Amidst the tension, Garuda, consumed by uncontrollable rage, was the first to act. Emerging from the wreckage of the former Arlong Park, now reduced to ruins, she flapped her wings forcefully, gaining speed to charge at Ifrit.

The giant harpy closed in quickly, reaching a distance of 200 meters, and extended her sharp claws toward the purple fire drake. In response, Ifrit adjusted its feet, standing firm to face the imminent impact and confrontation.
Its colossal feet crushed some harpies that were dangerously approaching its crew and the villagers. The ground trembled under the impact, but Ifrit remained vigilant to the threat around it.

Meanwhile, Garuda, moving with impressive speed, was already before Ifrit, launching her sharp claws in a fierce assault. Luffy, still lucid, agile, and aware of the imminent danger, coordinated his movements.

With precise movements, Ifrit skillfully dodged Garuda's attack, flexing its colossal body to the side. In response, Luffy launched himself onto the giant harpy. Grabbing her arms after dodging, Ifrit held Garuda firmly using both hands.

Without wasting time, before Garuda could react, Luffy concentrated his strength. Spinning Garuda's massive body by the same arm, he executed an almost complete 360-degree turn. The force of the movement threw Garuda with momentum in the opposite direction, hurling her beyond the forest near the former Arlong Park. The strong wind generated by the impactful motion swept the area, leaving everyone around astonished at the display of Ifrit's immense strength.
*BOOM!*
The impact of Garuda's colossal body colliding with the ground made the entire area shake, echoing the brute force that Luffy had applied in a long-awaited strike.

People, who initially seemed like ants before the titanic movements of these two beings, couldn't help but be amazed at the incredible evolution of the battle. Amidst the chaos, the population ran, fearful that the fight between the two giants could result in the destruction of the island. Furthermore, hostile creatures in the form of harpies created by Nami's power tried to approach, but Nami's pirate crew skillfully prevented these threats from advancing towards the civilians, acting as a protective shield in the midst of the turmoil.
"GET THE UNCONSCIOUS ONES AND GET OUT OF HERE!" Reiju exclaimed, urging the villagers to act quickly.

*Bang Bang!*
"What are these things!" Usopp shouted as he fired, eliminating one of the creatures.
"Luffy said these things are created by Nami's power!"
"Shirahoshi, don't get into this fight, stay behind and take care of the villagers!" Kuina pleaded with concern.
"Yes, yes!" Shirahoshi agreed, running in the safe direction along with her shark.

"Chouchou, Nojiko, you must go with them too." Yamato insisted.
"WOOF WOOF!" Chouchou refused.
"I'm not going anywhere. My sister is out of control, and I don't intend to leave!" Nojiko asserted, picking up a spear that had fallen from the fishmen during the hurricane, ready to assist the crew against the creatures.
Chaos had already spread across the entire island at this point.
Even with the former captives, they were stunned by the sight of colossal beings emerging even from quite a distance away from that place, after that enormous hurricane, and trembled as those things began to fight each other kilometers away.

"What are those things that appeared after that sudden hurricane?!" One of them shouted.
"We should have stayed at Base 16! I don't want to be crushed if those things come here."
"Let's get back to the Marine ship and escape this island!"
They quickly ran to the Marine ship, eager to return to the sea.

Meanwhile, amidst the battle of those colossi.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!*
The thunder of Garuda being thrown into the forest, uprooting thousands of trees, while her body served as the very brake. Without wasting time, Luffy began to advance in her direction, determined to end the fight as quickly as possible.

*BOOOOOOOOOM!*
*BOOOOOOOOOM!*
*BOOOOOOOOOM!*
Every step Luffy took was like a sonic explosion, cracking the ground and crushing trees and rocks beneath his feet.

Garuda, still enraged, got up and faced Ifrit with her fierce yellow eyes.
*ROOOOOOOAAAARRRR!*
*ROAAAAAAAAAR!*
Once again, the two beasts roared at each other, echoing like thunder before launching into another round.

Garuda spread her wings, gaining momentum as she ascended dozens of meters into the air. Powerful winds began to circulate around her claws, creating a stormy aura around her. Meanwhile, Ifrit, the colossus of purple flames, formed fiery fists in preparation for the imminent clash. The tension in the air was almost palpable, enveloping the two titans preparing for the next exchange of blows.

Garuda flew towards Ifrit, who responded with fiery punches.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!*
The resulting explosion from the collision of different elemental fists tore through the forest. The impact was not limited to the collision site but reverberated throughout the island. The elements expanded violently, completely decimating that part of the forest for hundreds of meters. The roar echoed, making it clear that the battle between these two giants was far from over.
"AHHHHHH!!"
"The island is shaking!"
"The impact is coming, be careful!"
"This is the end of the world!"
"Sharly!"
"This is so scary!"

The villagers screamed, feeling the power of the clash between the two colossi, while carrying the hurricane-injured people along with Shirahoshi.

In the midst of the furious clash of elements, the wind managed to prevail over Ifrit's fire this time. Luffy, losing momentum, was thrown to the opposite side, colliding with a mountain in the heart of the island.

*CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACKKK*

A mountain, now being destroyed by the colossal body, was visible to everyone on the island. Although Ifrit was smaller than the mountain, the force of the impact significantly altered the landscape, causing a profound shock to everyone present to the core of their souls. The unexpected destruction turned the scenery into a haunting spectacle.
The tremors resulting from the impact between Garuda and Ifrit echoed throughout the island, like seismic pulses shaking the ground. Trees were toppled in a chaotic dance, rocks detached from the mountains, and the ground cracked under the colossal pressure. The atmosphere was imbued with collective fear as villagers ran in desperation, trying to protect themselves from the imminent chaos.

The visible destruction extended beyond the point of impact. Shockwaves radiated, affecting distant areas of the island. Nearby structures were reduced to rubble, and dust clouds obscured the air. The roar of colliding elements resonated like a continuous thunder, echoing through mountains and valleys.

The idyllic scenery of the island was being transformed before the astonished eyes of the local inhabitants. The lush nature was replaced by a chaotic scene of destruction, and the island faced a titanic test of strength that threatened to rewrite its geography.

"What kind of fight is this! I want to go home!" Usopp shouted in fear as he continued to shoot at the harpies threatening them, yearning to escape the destruction caused by Luffy's and Nami's battle. They felt the impact of the forests being destroyed and sensed the entire island trembling.

"Luffy..." Yamato murmured while watching Luffy being thrown into a mountain like a colossal puppet. Unfortunately, she couldn't reach phase 3 of her mythical zoan yet, as her development had always been restricted by the SeaStone handcuffs her father put on her. But she was moved by this kind of fight; it seemed like the island would be destroyed if they let Luffy and Nami fight like madmen for the next hour.

"We want to leave!" The bounty hunters, in turn, joined the chorus of requests to abandon the island, fearing the imminent collapse. The scene of destruction was so overwhelming that the idea of staying in that location became increasingly unsustainable. The epic battle between the two colossi was transforming the island from a peaceful paradise into a cataclysmic battlefield.

A harpy charged at the group, but before it could attack, Zoro delivered a precise cut, eliminating the imminent threat.

"Stop crying and pay attention to the fight here; you'll end up dying like this!" Zoro growled, urging the bounty hunters to focus on the battle against the harpies.

"Yes! Thank you, brother Zoro!" They thanked in unison, realizing the importance of staying alert in the face of the creatures surrounding them.

*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
Reiju, in turn, kicked several harpies, demonstrating skill in repelling these creatures. After defeating the last one, she paused to catch her breath.

"These things don't stop appearing..." She expressed her concern upon noticing that another group of these monsters was approaching, indicating that the battle was far from over.

"Yes, but we have to take care of them before they reach the village; the rest of the island can barely handle these harpies." Kuina, despite the difficulty in her fight, tried to defend herself with her sword, Tensa Zangetsu, pressed against the claws of one of the creatures in a strength clash, being an 11-year-old girl.

"AHHH!!" Nojiko appeared beside Kuina, wielding a spear she had picked up earlier, and struck a precise blow against a harpy.

"Thank you..." Kuina expressed gratitude upon seeing her fight end.

"It was nothing. Is Nami creating these things?" Nojiko was still trying to process the entire situation.

"She's out of control... Luffy said the fruit itself is in command," Yamato explained.

"WOOF!" Chouchou jumped towards a harpy but was thrown aside after being hit by one of the creature's claws.

"Chouchou!" Usopp shouted and aimed at the valkyrie, firing three shots.

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* After three shots, the harpy succumbed to the attack and dissipated in the air with a glow.

"Damn it, Luffy, stop Nami quickly!" Usopp complained.

"He's still lying on that collapsed mountain..." Yamato said.

"Nami will be fine; trust the captain, Luffy will manage!" Nojiko tried to calm everyone's concern with confidence in the crew's captain.

"Yes!"
"We have faith that Luffy will stop Nami without harming her!"
"Luffy..."
*ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*
Before they could continue placing their faith in Luffy, a thunderous sound echoed through the island once again, and an imposing Ifrit emerged from the wreckage of the mountain, roaring louder than ever, as if thirsty for another round of battle.

"LUFFY!"
"Go, Luffy, stop Nami!"
"Luffy, we trust you! End this and bring Nami back!"
"Just don't destroy the island, please!"

His crew witnessed Ifrit emerging gloriously from the wreckage that was once a mountain, the result of Luffy's impact. Ifrit faced Garuda, ready for another battle.

Meanwhile, Luffy surveyed the scene and the distance he had flown. 'I have to end this before the landscape of this island changes drastically or the island itself is destroyed,' he thought, facing his formidable opponent once again.

Garuda assumed an attacking stance once more, and Ifrit responded in kind, even from a distance. Thus, Garuda and Ifrit prepared for a third clash.
