[Chapter Size: 2087 Words.]
Third Person POV
Whisky Peak, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
Hours passed again, with Luffy fervently celebrating with his group and Bepo's fans, the latter still being more reserved in handling all that attention.
"Another feast... why am I not surprised..." Lami commented, arms crossed.
"Come on, Lami, don't be like that, let's celebrate!" Luffy appeared next to her, grabbing her by the waist with a mischievous smile on his face.
"Get your hands off me, you damn womanizer!" Lami growled at Luffy, but he paid no attention and held onto her even tighter.
In a corner, Vivi was with her partner Karoo, observing the scenes unfolding before her. She packed her bags, ready to leave with her new pirate group and was waiting for the group to finish the party before departing.
"Did we make the right decision... Karoo?" She said softly, looking at the strange group in front of her.
"Karoo..." The duck grumbled.
"Hmmm... are you Vivi-Sama?" A timid voice called her. Vivi looked surprised at the approaching mermaid in the air with a strange technique, gracefully jumping. It was the first time she had seen a mermaid since joining the group, and this one was even more beautiful than she imagined.
"Hm? Yes, you're the mermaid of the group, aren't you?" Vivi tried to be friendly, knowing they would be partners from now on.
"Yes, and is it true that you're a princess? Because I am too!" The mermaid said excitedly, as it was the first time she had met another princess. The exchange between them was full of curiosity, and a new friendship began to form amid the pirate celebration.
"You're a princess too? How did you end up here?!" Vivi was stunned by this.
"Luffy-Sama summoned me in the East Blue, but I can't explain how, I'm from the Fish-Man Island, quite far from here. I heard that Alabasta is a country with a lot of sand! I'm looking forward to seeing this new kind of place; I've never seen a desert in my life!" Shirahoshi was excited as she spoke.
"Indeed, Alabasta has its own beauty despite being a desert country. I love my country, and how about the Fish-Man Island? They say it's very beautiful there!" Vivi was also curious about the underwater kingdom.
"Yes, in the Fish-Man Island, there is..."
While the princesses bonded, Karoo was left aside.
"Karoo...." The duck lamented this, as he had nothing to add to the conversation.
"Woof!"
"Sharky!"
"GRRRR"
Karoo was surprised as other animals called to him while approaching. He found himself conversing with a dog, a shark, and a miniature whale. Thus, they started chatting in their own animal language.
At the same time Vivi and Karoo were bonding with their new group, Luffy and the others continued to drink, celebrate, and play their games. After a while, Luffy slipped away with Yamato to a remote corner of the island, beginning a private adventure that involved that beautiful woman.
This lasted for hours, and it was dawn when the festivities finally stopped. Now, they were ready to leave the island with the crowd crying and bidding farewell as if they were true legendary heroes, especially with Bepo's performance tonight, gaining even more admirers during the second feast.
The scene was magical, with lights flickering, fireworks starting to burst like echoes of the island's thanks resonating through the night air. Their journey was about to continue, but Whisky Peak would always remember the visit of the Straw Hat Pirates, and now this island belonged to Luffy as well, a strategic point in this part of the sea that he would use very well for his plans.
Just as they arrived, surprisingly, all the inhabitants were celebrating and bidding farewell, creating an atmosphere as festive as the one that initially welcomed them. It was as if the contagious energy of their arrival persisted, but with the surprising twist of intentions, as these inhabitants had initially wanted to capture them upon their arrival.
"That was funny, the first stop in the Grand Line was quite surprising and fun!" commented Luffy, observing the excitement around him.
"Yes, let's move on to our next stop. Nami, set the Eternal Log for Little Garden," said Luffy, indicating the next adventure in his daring mind. Nami promptly went to her cabin, grabbing an Eternal Log for her wrist and another to hand to the helmsman, Hachi, to navigate the ship.
The night sky was sprinkled with twinkling stars, complementing the colorful scene of the party on the island. The farewell music still echoed in the distance, accompanying the last moments of the Straw Hat Pirates in Whisky Peak. The crowd continued to wave flags and applaud, expressing gratitude for a visit that turned the ordinary into the extraordinary.
As the Black Pearl sailed away, the lights of the island gradually dimmed, but the vision of the animation persisted in the crew's memory. The night in the Grand Line was just beginning, and the Straw Hat Pirates were heading for new adventures.
"I'm so sleepy..."
"Me too, I'm going to my cabin already."
"I drank so much that I'll sleep on the deck tonight!"
"You always do that, Zoro!"
"Karoo!"
"Woof Woof!"
"Sharky?"
"GRRRR!"
"Does anyone understand what the hell these animals are talking about so seriously?"
"Who knows..."
"No one can speak all these languages. Shirahoshi understands Megalo and Laboon, Luffy and Yamato understand Chouchou, but no one understands the princess's duck."
"Karoo!!" Karoo became depressed at this moment.
"Don't cry, Karoo!"
"Hm?! Hey, what's that? Did you guys hear that too? Sounds like... cannons?"
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
As the Black Pearl sailed through the sea, explosions echoed near the ship, raising columns of water in its wake.
"Hey, Luffy! There's a small fleet of ships ahead of us!" Usopp shouted from the mast, drawing everyone's attention. Luffy, following Usopp's pointed finger, spotted 20 ships waiting for them outside the island, all displaying the Baroque Works organization's flag.
"They sent so many ships too?!" Vivi was frightened, observing the imminent threat.
"Well, leave it to me. I want to deal with them." Luffy spoke, moving decisively toward the bow of the ship.
"Let me show you the true power of an explosion; this is a good opportunity to see the extent of my current power using just a single hand shot." Luffy spoke calmly, and a tense silence enveloped the crew, watching what their captain planned, even those who were sleepy became attentive at this moment to see what Luffy intended.
"What does he plan to do?" Vivi seemed uneasy with the uncertainty of the moment.
"Watch." Luffy said, raising his hands as a flame began to illuminate the area around him, much more intense than the last. Once Luffy felt he had accumulated enough energy, he released it towards the center of the enemy ships.
Earlier, he created an explosion in the middle of one of those ships to eliminate Baroque Works agents. This time, however, he planned something much more destructive.
[Moa Moa no Mi: Mass, apply 40 times.]
*BAAAANG!!!!*
Like the explosion of a shot, the space in front of Luffy exploded, and the flame flew forward, tearing through the air and making the sea below the flame react to it. This sight left the entire crew stunned, while the Baroque Works ships noticed the sound and that light coming their way without being able to react, as it approached the middle of the small fleet, Luffy's attack had the shape of a bullet, the light flickered like a lamp, disappearing and reappearing, showcasing concentrated power like a true spectacle. (Think of the mini-Bijuu Dama that Naruto created with 4 tails in the fight against Orochimaru.)
But what came after shocked them even more. When the flame hit the center ship and expanded from that point, all the ships were instantly disintegrated under an intense light that blinded all spectators, and the victims didn't even realize they died there.
This was even more terrifying for observers kilometers away as they saw the flash emerge in front of them, illuminating the entire region as if it were day. Even the skies didn't escape it, causing all the stars to momentarily disappear in the intensity of the explosion. The power of Luffy's flame with the enlargement of Moa Moa no Mi had just showcased a spectacle of destruction that would leave a mark in the memory of everyone present for the rest of their lives.

Meanwhile, in a distant place:
Aboard the imposing Navy ship, lanterns swayed gently to the rhythm of the ocean's movement. The silence of the night was broken only by the murmurs of the sailors on duty at that moment.
"How boring..."
"I'm so sleepy; I can't wait to finish my shift and go to the cabin soon."
"Yes, but Captain Smoker asked us to stand guard, to report any pirate activity at sea, especially because of the Straw Hats."
"Captain Smoker is determined to capture them, even though the captain has suffered several defeats at the hands of that group."
"What do you expect? They're a crew worth almost 500 million. I heard headquarters is sending a vice-admiral to hunt them down too!"
"But Garp is a vice-admiral, and he failed..."
"You're thinking wrong. Garp is Monkey D. Luffy's grandfather. Some say the Navy hero let him escape..."
"I see... so they're not such a terrible group..." The sailor was convinced of this, but something happened at that moment.
The tranquil maritime scene was abruptly interrupted by an unexpected flash on the horizon. An explosion of intense and fleeting light, like a nighttime lightning bolt, stole the attention of everyone still awake. The shadows cast by the ship's sails danced frantically, while the few sailors, initially stunned by the surprise, directed perplexed looks toward the luminous phenomenon.
"What is this?!"
"A light? Isn't it the sun?"
"Of course not, idiot. It's the middle of the night. Call Captain Smoker; we must report this to him immediately!" The sailor spoke as the light disappeared, and the night returned to its normality. The expressions of perplexity and surprise remained on the faces of those sailors.
---------
Elsewhere.
"What is this light in the middle of the night?" A giant man looked at the suddenly illuminated horizon.
"It doesn't matter; I'm going back to sleep because I have a fight against Broggy tomorrow." The giant spoke, ignoring the disappearing light and going back to sleep.
--------
While some could see the strange glow in the sky, in the location where the explosion happened, it was much more than a light show.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!*
The explosion was so colossal that it grew to the size of half of Whisky Peak island, visible kilometers away. However, the magnitude and distance of the event did not prevent the explosion from affecting everyone. Soon, all the foundations of the island trembled, and a forceful shockwave knocked everything in its path through the sea; at that moment, Luffy increased the weight of the ship by 40 times so it wouldn't go flying as well. Even so, the ship felt the impact, and almost everyone went to the ground at that moment.
The sea area was consumed in intense heat, launching steam throughout the region, and the Black Pearl didn't escape being enveloped by the explosion of water in a gaseous state.
"WHAT IS THIS!!!?????"
"LUFFY IS A MONSTER WHO CAN DESTROY THE WHOLE ISLAND!!"
"HOW DID THE CAPTAIN HAVE SO MUCH POWER ALL ALONG?!"
"I WANT TO LEAVE."
"LUFFY, YOU WENT OVERBOARD!"
"KAROOOOO"
"I WANT TO LEAVE TOO, KAROO!"
"WOOLF"
"GRRRR!"
"Hahahaha, I guess I did go overboard; I didn't even know it could get so big..." Luffy was a bit embarrassed while the ship was inside the curtain of vapor created by the attack, realizing how exaggerated the explosion was.
He could have disintegrated half of Whisky Peak and burned the other 30%. If that attack happened on the island in one of the corners, with only 20% of the island remaining intact, maybe destroying the entire island if he managed to hit the center.
The air was filled with the smell of smoke and the persistent sound of some debris settling. The crew, still a bit stunned by the magnitude of Luffy's power, contemplated what had just happened. The spectacle of destruction was a vivid reminder that, even amidst fun and festivities, the Straw Hat Pirates were a force to be taken seriously in the Grand Line.
