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.
