"What the hell is this?!" exclaimed Yamato, his voice muffled by the deafening roar of the wind emanating from the colossal storm. The entire island was immersed in the monstrous wind current that originated at the center of the Arlong Park and continued to ascend into the sky for several kilometers.

Despite Luffy's efforts to avoid fatalities, many people were thrown unconscious upon impact as Yamato's ice wall dissolved. The residents, mostly dressed in white, struggled to hold onto anything available, striving not to be thrown by the merciless winds battering them.

"What's happening? Where did this come from? Where's Nami?" Nojiko shouted in desperation, rising from the ground. She frantically searched for her sister, fearing the worst, as Arlong Park was now covered by the colossal storm that had formed at the center of the explosion.

The rest of the group shared the same fear as they tried to recover, not only observing the hurricane but also the strange creatures emerging at its feet.

"What's going on? Did Nami do this?!" exclaimed Reiju, shielding her eyes from the furious wind of the storm.

"What is that? Is that Nami?!" Kuina shouted alarmed, clinging to a tree while pointing at the hurricane. She had the same vision as Luffy, witnessing the manifestation of the gigantic Garuda.

"She's lost control..." Luffy murmured, fixing his gaze on the colossal shadow within the hurricane.

"What do you mean 'she's lost control'? There's no way she could just lose control!" Kuina argued, demonstrating familiarity with the concepts and workings of Devil Fruits.

"Fruits in the Zoan category have a will of their own, Kuina. Don't underestimate them, especially the most powerful ones in the mythical category," warned Luffy, not taking his eyes off the shadow flickering with green lights 400 meters away.

"And what are those things emerging in the hurricane?" Reiju asked aloud, watching the small army of harpies emerging in a green light.

"It seems to be a unique ability of Garuda. She can create these creatures. We better protect the villagers from these things as they might well attack anything in their path," cautioned Luffy, narrowing his eyes.
"What are we going to do about Nami?!" Yamato shouted aloud.

"We have to stop her, don't we?" Zoro reasoned aloud.

"Are we going to fight that?!" Usopp yelled, visibly apprehensive.

"Is that Nami? That's a monster; how are we going to face that?!" Jhonny exclaimed, expressing his fear.

"Yes, Brother Jhonny is right. We can't fight that!" Yosaku argued, raising his voice to be heard over the wind.

"Guys!" Luffy announced with amplified voice.

"Listen, I'll deal with Nami. You take care of the villagers; her powers can summon these miniature harpies. You must deal with them and protect the villagers," instructed Luffy, earning some stunned looks as everyone turned to the strange creatures emerging.

"Of all the Eikons, Garuda is the weakest; however, she is the most versatile in my opinion, even more so than Odin. In addition to the powers Nami has already demonstrated, Garuda can summon these soldiers, forming even a mini army of them. Nami is still far from fully controlling these abilities, but, as it happened once in the game where Garuda went out of control, creating a few dozen of these creatures on her own, the same is happening now with Nami. We have to stop them without hurting any villagers," reflected Luffy. These creatures could attack anything, as he had mentioned before, and Nami could regret it for the rest of her life if something happened to someone in the village due to her uncontrolled power.
