[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.
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.
