A fierce battle broke out between the two crews, with each side fighting to gain control of the Phoenix. The Straw Hats fought bravely, using their unique abilities and teamwork to take on the other crew.
But the ruthless captain had a secret weapon. He had made a deal with a powerful sorceress, who had promised to give him the power of immortality in exchange for the Phoenix.
The sorceress appeared on the battlefield, a powerful and terrifying figure. With a wave of her hand, she created powerful storms and summoned fierce creatures to attack the Straw Hats.
Despite the odds, the Straw Hats refused to give up. With quick thinking and determination, they were able to weaken the sorceress's power and take control of the battle once again.
Finally, with a powerful attack from Luffy, the ruthless captain was defeated, and the Straw Hats emerged victorious. They decided to leave the Phoenix on the island, knowing that the power of eternal life was not worth the price they would have to pay.
