Chapter 281 - Sabaody Archipelago 17.

[Chapter Size: 1800 Words.]

Third Person POV

Sabaody Archipelago, First Half of Grandline.

...

...

Both weapons clashed in the air, generating rays of Armament Haki, as Luffy continued his transformation into phase 2, battling a monkey five times his size. Their weapons clashed once more, creating another wave of Haki that spread like wind across the area.

Both vanished and reappeared in the air, a third wave of haki emerging. All the Straw Hats watched from a distance as the fight continued.

"So strong..." Vivi commented, watching the explosions occurring in the distance. The terrain was completely destroyed, with some trees down and the ground in pieces due to their fight with Kong.

"Luffy beat an admiral and is now fighting that monster...." Nami remarked with a hint of concern, since Luffy might have just come out of one fight and was already in another.

Nami began to release her transformation, returning to her usual appearance, as did all the others transformed into their hybrid forms.

"It seems like a clash of strengths..." Rayleigh commented, looking into the distance at the two fighters.

A more powerful explosion occurred in the air, as Luffy and Kong clashed with increased force, progressively upping their blows. Luffy did not prioritize speed, but strength, since this man was even stronger than him, though not faster than Kizaru.

The explosion had again shaken the ground of the group, who kept their eyes narrowed at it.

"The devil is losing..." Enel remarked with a narrow look.

"Hey, you can't be serious!" Nami exclaimed as her concerns became reality.

"It's true," Zoro responded calmly.

"Are you saying Luffy-Sama is going to lose, shouldn't we fight too!?" Shirahoshi asked, horrified.

"Kong is more powerful in that beastial form," Yamato replied calmly. "However, Luffy is not in his beastial form either, where his form prioritizes strength and endurance." She responded in a serious and rational tone.

"Woof!" Chouchou barked in his usual dog form.

"Look, it seems like he's about to transform." Alvida spoke as she watched Luffy and the Monkey King clashing against each other, while Luffy began to cover in flames, losing the clash.

Then all the Straw Hats saw flames rise even larger and from them a huge storm of purple flames flew into the sky.

"There it is..." Hugo commented as red eyes glowed among the flames as they vanished and the already destroyed ground broke even more with Ifrit stepping on it forcefully.

"So the devil has finally transformed." Enel commented in an arrogant tone.

Kong stopped at a distance looking at Ifrit for a moment. "So this is your beast... we've never seen anything like it... it's very likely that you are the first user of this fruit like your companions, which is very odd..." Kong murmured, after all, he had ordered many reports on this group since they had been suspected of killing a Tenryuubito near the reverse mountain.

It was shocking to see a group with akuma no mi that had never been registered even in the historical texts of the world government. Kong was assessing the situation and it wasn't very good for him, after all, he was already having some difficulty taking down the entire crew alone, now with Luffy being the strongest among them, he was fighting him alone after taking down an admiral, something quite shocking. He was in a fight with the enemy with an important hostage, he had to somehow deal with this.

Something began to grow in Ifrit's flaming hands, while Ace began to grow with the power of the moa moa no mi, reaching a size suitable for Ifrit, Luffy had never fought in this form with a sword, so it would be his first time doing so, hoping to perform well with it.

His hand began to catch flames in his fist, while the hand holding the massive Ace emitted rays of its own akuma no mi. Luffy was now 5 times taller than Kong, which made him frown at what he was seeing in front of him, but soon his eyes turned fierce again.

Roooaaarrr! Ifrit roared with the desire for battle.

Both stared at each other for a few seconds before charging at one another, exploding the ground beneath them.

From a distance, the explosion was heard along with two lights, both the blazing flames of Luffy and the golden energy of the Monkey King, which was different from Kizaru's.

At that moment, several marines and government agents were evacuating injured Tenryuubitos from a knocked-out auction on stretchers, taking them safely to the port to be shipped to Merry Geoise immediately.

There was a vice admiral on the island who had come on Kizaru's ship along with the admiral to assist him, a powerful user of observation haki, he could tell very well what was happening on his den den mushi, and he was also middle-aged, having served under Kong's command when he was a cadet, recognizing who was fighting with Luffy at that moment,

"I repeat, PX 4 and PX 5 have been destroyed, Sentomaru is knocked out near the port, Kizaru has been defeated and has become a hostage! Lord Kong is fighting Monkey D. Luffy in their beastial forms at this moment!" He spoke as the explosion occurred in the distance, generating a huge hot wind for them, even there.

"I am assisting in the security of the injured Tenryuubitos, while the battle happens kilometers away, but it's affecting not just this island in the archipelago, it's very likely that the whole place is feeling it too." He spoke through the den den mushi, which showed an upset face.

Sengoku was listening to this in his office, he immediately turned off the den den mushi, not wanting the person to hear what he would do next. "DAMN!!!" He yelled and his tone was heard throughout Marinefort.

Sengoku was in front of his desk, now destroyed with the punch that had shattered it with his yell.

If Garp had been at Marinefort, he would have been there laughing at him sitting next to him while eating his cookie, even though Sengoku doubted he would have the mood for it at that moment, after dealing with two people so close to him, not being Luffy.

"How can this be happening... Is it some kind of divine punishment or something!!" Sengoku couldn't believe it, Luffy had knocked down Kizaru, who was the Admiral who had the best chance against him out of all three... Now Kizaru was a hostage and only Kong, whom the World Government said they would send, was in conflict with Garp's grandson, the situation was not good, but he had faith in Kong, his former boss.

"Damn... In such a delicate moment I can't even pull forces from this place, that boy is causing even more problems..." Sengoku complained, but he could only hope that Kong would manage to turn the situation around.

Meanwhile, in the middle of the island the intense fight had begun with all the beasts, one holding a 25-meter sword and the other a smaller one with a staff that shrank and expanded in size.

BOOOOM!!!! 

Luffy launched a sideways slash, which Kong defended after spinning his staff.

"You will not defeat me so easily, child." Kong said with a primate sound as he threw the sword aside and opened a gap in Luffy, who pointed his staff at him, expanding it and striking Ifrit's chest, as he was quickly launched backward.

"Husband!" Alvida was surprised as Luffy had his body carved backwards.

The explosion of the ground being destroyed continued while the staff kept expanding, Ifrit's body passing through the entire island, while in a town, people were afraid of the explosions happening in the distance, suddenly an explosion occurred next to the city, with a formation surpassing any building while Ifrit's body was still being dragged by the staff.

'So this is the power of the monkey king...' Luffy was not having an easy time, as he felt his back continuing to be dragged across the ground.

Frustrated with that situation, he grabbed the staff in his chest with his free hand and turned his body, putting his feet to support on the ground while trying to stop the advance of the staff, he came off the ground and was on the surface being dragged through the place.

He finally stopped when he reached the edge of the island reaching the edge of the sea that divided all the islands of the archipelago, stopping at the edge of the place.

"You managed to stop..." Kong spoke from a distance and looked towards Luffy's companions who were keeping Kizaru knocked out with Seastone. His intention was never to throw Luffy into the water, but to move him away so he could first get Kizaru to safety.

"Now let's rescue the admiral." He said and set aside his staff as he advanced towards Luffy's companions.

"Get ready!!" Rayleigh called out as everyone awaited the monkey's approach, but a light appeared in the middle of that path, and Kong looked surprised to the side when a high-speed flame beam flew towards him.

Luffy saw this and released the same breath of flames he had used on Jack and Akainu, but this time he increased its speed 90 times to reach in time before the former fleet admiral could react, hitting him squarely at that moment.

Luffy's companions barely reacted when the monkey was coming and a torrent of flames like lightning struck him, covering the golden monkey as he flew with the flames while everyone tried to protect themselves from the flames and light that attack generated.

The fire traveled from the opposite tip of the island where Luffy was to the other side while heading to the sea passing through all the cities along that trajectory and people ran in fear.

Kong reappeared in the sky near one of the ports, with the flames heading to the sea, he was in not as good a situation as before, with half of his body charred by it.

"Damn... he got me there." He admitted, raising his hand to grab his staff.

Luffy tried to lift the staff, but he could not, it seemed heavier to him than anything else he had ever tried to lift.

"This staff can only be wielded by me, you can never pick it up again." Kong commented, sensing with the observation haki what was happening from a distance and Luffy saw the staff beginning to shrink in size as it flew to Kong on the other side of the island.

"Damn... I thought that weapon was really cool..." Luffy grumbled.

He then prepared from that side and flexed his knee breaking the ground, 'Moa moa no mi: Apply 90 times speed.' He commanded internally his fruit and then shot towards Kong, their fight was just beginning.
