Third Person POV

Sabaody Archipelago, First Half of Grandline.

...

...

"Hm?!" Reiju and Lami continued fighting each other while pausing to watch Luffy and Kizaru battle each other in the space above the city, quickly passing by them, and a tree in the distance began to shake due to the clash of their swords.

"Luffy..." Reiju commented as she followed him with some difficulty due to the speed of both.

"It seems that the Navy really came here..." Lami remarked, recalling those things they had destroyed some time ago along with Reiju knocking out that fat man with the axe.

A loud sound of a great thunderclap emerged in the distance along with other explosive sounds, as a battle seemed to have started on that side.

"They are them... our companions are fighting someone quite strong..." Lami, with a more developed observation haki, commented.

"Let's go, they seem to need help." Reiju said, and both began using geppo in that direction.

Meanwhile, in that very area, the fight intensified, as even Kong had a great deal of trouble dealing with all that pressure, receiving multiple attacks.

"You have great potential, one that I have never seen in a young crew in all my years, but at the same time, this potential worries many people and the balance of powers, your actions against the tenryuubitos also do not help, so I will do everything to take you down here." Kong declared as Zoro advanced against him, however as soon as their swords were about to touch him from an opening created by the others, Kong made a staff appear out of nowhere in his hand.

"Hm?!" Zoro immediately was surprised as his haki-coated swords struck against a strange wood also imbued with haki.

"You see... it has been a long time since I last used this weapon, so let's see if you can handle it." Kong declared, as everyone was on alert while he moved away from Zoro and began spinning the weapon, making a side slash in front of them, but he had no one within his reach, after all his staff was only 2 meters long.

However, something happened while everyone stared dazed at it, after all that staff began to expand a second later and started to get bigger as he swung it down forcefully, becoming twisted and fully imbued with Haki.

The Straw Hat crew quickly moved out of the way of it while dodging to the sides.

"He's going to hit Hachi and the others!!" Yamato quickly exclaimed, as the staff descended towards Haki running, even 1000 meters away from the fight, the staff expanded up to there while descending forcefully.

"Nee... This?" Hachi exclaimed unable to react.

"WE'RE GOING TO DIE!!!" Camie grimaced.

"I shouldn't have followed that pirate!!" Bonney exclaimed crying.

However, just as it was about to touch them, someone appeared in front of them and it was none other than Rayleigh with his sword, while the ground in the path of the staff exploded, Rayleigh managed to stand firm, while none of the three behind him got hurt by it, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief.

"So you decided to act...?" Kong commented while looking at the old enemy.

"Sorry, I simply cannot let you act against these young ones..." Rayleigh commented with a small smile, regardless of the consequences it would bring to his life.

As soon as Rayleigh gave his reply, Yamato appeared next to Kong, using his weapon. Without time to fully pull his staff back, Kong used haki while crossing his arms, making himself be struck downward, flying like a rocket while his staff began to rapidly decrease in size, returning to him as he exploded the ground with his own body.

Immediately two tornadoes began to dig into the ground, Nami and Vivi launched their attacks at the same time, exploding where Kong was supposed to be. Who, in the middle of the explosion, came out of the hole.

Zoro quickly approached him from above, as he began launching attacks with the power of Odin unleashed, while the former fleet admiral held his staff firmly, and began to defend, initiating a battle between weapons.

Kong released a golden energy while the other released a dark energy; both exploded in contrast, destroying the entire area while Zoro was thrown a few meters back losing this first bout. Alvida also entered the fight, but Kong quickly repelled her as Nami caught the woman and advanced against the man as well, but her claws were completely repelled and Kong expanded the staff again hitting her, while losing balance, flying a few meters backwards.

Kong suddenly looked up, a bit surprised, seeing a mermaid advancing with a trident. "How strange, I've never fought a mermaid before," he commented and struck his staff against Shirahoshi's trident.

Shirahoshi attacked with her haki, emitting an immediate impact, while both struggled against each other. Shirahoshi began to get surrounded by water, using her power against Kong, who in response, emitted his golden energy and quickly won the confrontation against the mermaid.

"Hm?!" Shirahoshi was quite surprised as she was flung backward forcefully, spinning her body trying to maintain balance until she finally managed to stabilize with the help of her tail.

The battle between them continued, after the pirates recovered. Baby-5 launched an attack that surprised the admiral along with Chouchou unleashing his elements, Kong dodged and jumped into the air. He raised his arm as if throwing a spear and hurled his staff over the group that was regrouping.

"He's growing even bigger than before!" Vivi exclaimed as everyone was surprised with the staff beginning to expand, not only growing in length but also in thickness, until it became as big as one of the large trees on the island.

"What is this thing?" Zoro murmured as he tried to dodge the huge structure growing, which now had dozens of meters in diameter. Just like Zoro, everyone managed to avoid it, but the ground that ended up being targeted was devastated, even Hachi at a distance of more than 2 km felt the impact as Bonney and Camie screamed.

The staff had buried itself into the ground, becoming a large tower. "This is my Sacred Staff," Kong commented, satisfied.

"Haha! So this is the impressive power of a fleet admiral? Really strong," Yamato murmured as Enel launched an attack on him at that moment while Kong was still in the air, Hugo also attacked and Kong had to dodge Hugo's fists and Enel's lightning trying to hit him in the air.

Meanwhile, Baby-5 and Chouchou launched their attacks from a distance. Once again, with Kong being pushed against the wall, he quickly raised his hand and the giant staff began to fly and shrink in size for him, flying directly to his hand as if by command amid all those explosions.

Kong began to parry the attacks right after that, Enel quickly turned into lightning and moved toward the enemy trying to gain an advantage with his lightning power.

But Kong began to strike him, while flying like lightning and returning to attack him, Enel soon found himself cornered once again by this man and tried to move away while no one was near to help him, Kong pursued him through the air, even having the speed of lightning, his opponent had very powerful haki after decades of constant battles and quickly helped to calculate the trajectory of Enel, striking him, while Hugo exploded on the ground, and Enel shortly after.

He saw the three-headed dog with the woman dressed as a maid on top preparing to launch an attack on him, Kong clenched his staff as the golden light began to flow.

Then he aimed at Chouchou and Baby-5 and launched the same golden energy being sent directly at them. Chouchou quickly began to move, moving away from the first attacks as the ground exploded, however, he could not escape the last attacks, with Kong already predicting his dodge trajectory and launching the attack to that location. Chouchou was thrown away with Baby-5.

Kong did not continue attacking them, as he calmly analyzed the situation. He was winning this fight even against several opponents, but he was still far from defeating this group...

A moment later, all the Straw Hats quickly regrouped in front of Kong, even some dirty and injured, they still seemed ready to fight as if nothing had happened to them;

"This way, it's going to take me a long time to deal with everyone..." He murmured, looking at Yamato, Zoro, Nami, Vivi, Hugo, Enel, Alvida, Shirahoshi, Baby-5, and Chouchou. He had to deal with 11 of them, and all had some degree of haki, some very powerful like Yamato and Zoro...

"Alright, let's continue..." He decided after thinking for a while as the entire area was unleashed, only with Rayleigh at a distance watching the fight, but still making no move.

Without wasting more time, he simply launched himself into the air against his opponents. But as he flew towards them, two new people appeared at that moment, Lami and Reiju finally showed up.

In the air, he sensed flames coming his way and Kong quickly dodged Reiju's flaming attacks. A huge energy sphere began to expand at that moment as well, turning the environment blue as he dodged the phoenix's attacks.

As soon as Lami activated her Room with Kong inside, she quickly executed her swap, as in one of the flames was an object she swapped places with, appearing in front of Kong who was quite surprised by this, and was ready to be struck by the girl who intended to take his heart.

However, he narrowed his eyes and, having no choice, his body began to expand, transforming into a large golden energy, making Lami quickly fly backward unable to reach her adversary.

With the force of the impact, she quickly swapped places with a stone and reappeared on the ground, near her companions, while energy began to expand from Kong's body in a golden and bright tone.

"It seems he's resorting to that," Rayleigh commented, approaching with his sword still out of its sheath.

"What do you mean by that?" Nami asked, looking concerned about the golden explosion.

"Kong possesses a mystical beast, like you," he said as a transformation began to happen.

The light began to fade gradually and there was a golden monkey at least 10 meters tall, holding his staff which was bigger than before, suitable for his size. It might be just a monkey, however, this monkey exuded great power, making everyone there realize that Kong was not the same as before.

"What is this?" Shirahoshi asked innocently, looking extremely surprised at the monkey, since she had never seen anything like it before.

"Kong is a user of the mystical beast King Monkey," Rayleigh commented with a calculating look, after all, the real fight was about to begin now.
