Cricket dashes to attack Garling who has transformed into a 6-winged angelic creature, Seraphim. Both of them are taller and bigger than normal people, to begin with, but they've grown even bigger after transforming.

Cricket is using his half-dragon form while Garling uses his full Seraphim form. The half-dragon form is more comfortable for Cricket because he is a martial art master, so the gigantic full dragon form can't display his full power.

As for Garling, his devil fruit is a humanoid form, so he is comfortable in any form. It's just that being in his Seraphim form boosts his power greatly and he gains the ability to fly. Cricket can fly too although he needs to use his flame cloud to assist him.

Fists and sword attacks are colliding against each other in their fight. Both Cricket and Garling are using powerful attacks, but for those who know them, it's clear that they are just using their basic attacks. The 2 of them are still testing each other to know their opponents better.

Meanwhile, Kong the Monkey King hasn't started his fight. He is just staring at the man who stands in front of him who holds a big Warhammer on his shoulder. Palu is also just staring at Kong's new appearance.

Kong grew golden fur all over his body except for his face, long monkey tail, golden pupils, sharp and long fangs, and obviously a monkey face. Palu is very careful against Kong because he knows that Mythical Zoan's ability can't be underestimated, so he doesn't want to strike first.

"Black Hammer Palu, you must be the strongest shipwright in the world right now."

"What's with the chitchat, old man? We aren't close enough to have a small talk like this."

"Right, so why don't you attack me?"

"I see, you are waiting for me, huh? How sweet of you."

Palu decides to stop waiting and dashes to attack Kong. He is very fast even while carrying the heavy Warhammer on his shoulder. His Sky Race wings flap when he runs, increasing his speed multiple folds. Kong is surprised to see Palu uses his wings because he never saw Sky people use their wings.

Sky Race's wings are just decoration and identity for most sky people, but Palu can actually use them like Lunarian because his wings are bigger now. As a Birkan, his wings were already bigger than other Sky races like Shandians and Skypieans. But his wings are even bigger now.

They grew bigger with the help of Ruff who used King's Lunarian genetics to enhance Palu's genetics, resulting in his wings' growth that gives him the ability to fly. Palu didn't want to eat devil fruit because he needs swimming ability as a shipwright.

So Ruff proposed genetic modification using Lunarian genetic from King that he took when defeating Beasts Pirates 20 years ago. Ruff kept learning genetic modification and finally succeeded a few years ago before modifying Palu's genetics.

But Ruff didn't modify Palu's genetics completely. He only added some characteristics that would be suitable and useful for Palu. As a Sky race who has wings, gaining the ability to fly freely using his wings will be very beneficial to Palu, so Ruff modified Palu's wings and made them grow to reach the size that can make him fly.

Then obviously, Ruff added Lunarian's special ability, the power to control the flame. Palu swings his Warhammer toward Kong who sends his fist to counter it. But then Kong's eyes widen when Palu's big Warhammer is burning.

*BOOM*

A strong shockwave that shakes their surrounding appears from their clash.

"So tough! As expected of the Monkey King."

"Flame? I never knew you can use flame."

"And I never knew I need to tell you about it."

Palu spins his Warhammer and swings it from below. Kong blocks it with his palms, but he is sent flying up. He rotates acrobatically in the air before kicking the air to use Geppo and launches himself at Palu.
