Third Person POV

Alabasta, First Half of Grandline.

...

...

Luffy's thunderous laughter echoed through the bar, filling the space with vibrant and uninhibited energy. He stood, an arrogant smile adorning his face, while the bar patrons looked on, open-mouthed and in absolute shock. The impact of his arrival still reverberated through the walls, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the hole.

"HAHAHAHA! I wanted to see your face, Smoker!" Luffy proclaimed, his chest swelling with pride for the feat accomplished.

The civilians in the bar, some still with their drinks halfway to their lips, remained motionless as if time had frozen. It was a scene that defied comprehension, the infamous pirate of 200 million berries not only challenged, but also struck a Navy captain, but a commander of the Whitebeard pirates.

"Hey bartender, don't just stand there! Bring me food!" Luffy announced, fiddling with his hat.

"Also, bring me a lot of food, my 400-meter whale is coming! Hahahaha!" Luffy laughed as everyone became even more stunned, wondering if this was a joke.

Luffy was served and began to eat with the waiter frowning at him, Laboon arrived at that moment, floating gracefully in the air with a bubble ring surrounding his waist, as if it were an aquatic display in the sky. The unanimous exclamation "IT'S REALLY A WHALE!" echoed through the space, with the customers and bar staff glued to the windows and doors, all wanting to witness the spectacle.

"Come Laboon, come eat," Luffy invited, waving to his marine friend with a piece of meat in hand. Laboon responded with a deep and joyful sound, "Grrrr...," which vibrated through the walls of the establishment.

As Luffy enjoyed his meal with contagious enthusiasm, the waiter approached him, his expression laden with caution and evident concern. Moving hesitantly, he said, "Hey, you should leave!"

Luffy, surprised, looked up, pausing his relentless gastronomic adventure for a moment. "Hm?! What's up?" he asked, an expression of innocent curiosity on his face.

The waiter, swallowing hard, pointed to a considerable hole in the bar's wall. "See that hole in the wall?"

Looking in the direction indicated, Luffy replied with a playful smile: "Yes, is that like an emergency exit from the bar?"

The bar's response was swift. "Of course not! You did that!" echoed a chorus of voices, with the bar patrons expressing both fear and disbelief.

Luffy, keeping the smile, feigned surprise. "Me? I don't think so..."

"OF COURSE IT WAS!" the bar shouted in unison, tension rising as the reality of the situation set in.

The waiter, clearly concerned about the possible consequences of Luffy's action, tried to argue again. "You sent a Navy officer and a member of the Whitebeard pirates flying, you have to get out of here if you want to live."

Luffy, unfazed, looked at Laboon, who floated peacefully by his side, and calmly replied: "I see... But it's okay, I can handle it. And we haven't finished eating yet, have we Laboon?"

“Grrrr...” Laboon made a deep sound, seeming to agree with his friend.

The waiter, realizing the futility of trying to persuade the pirate, sighed, accepting that there wasn't much he could do. The other customers watched the scene, a mix of fascination and apprehension in the air, while they wondered what else this unexpected and extraordinary day would bring.

“GRRR!”

At that moment, Ace emerged from the wreckage, clearly furious, looking for the one responsible for his current situation. Smoker, following closely, maintained his stern expression and the imposing posture of a Navy officer determined on his mission.

As he emerged from the hole in the wall, Ace could hardly believe what he saw. There was Luffy, sitting calmly at the bar, enjoying his meal as if nothing extraordinary had happened.

"LU...!" began Ace, his voice laden with surprise and irritation.

"MUGIWARA!" However, before he could complete his thought, Smoker quickly acted, pushing Ace back to the ground with Smoker's hand as he advanced towards Luffy.

Luffy, watching the scene with a relaxed smile, greeted Smoker undisturbed. "Hey Smoker, how are you? Did you like my kick?" he asked, the casualness of his voice contrasting sharply with the tension in the air.

"So it was you? I came to arrest you!" Smoker growled, anger clear in his voice, as he fixed his gaze on Luffy.

Luffy, still nibbling on a piece of meat, looked at his brother still on the ground and said to Smoker: "It was, but can you first get off my brother?"

The people in the bar continued to watch, waiting for any sign of an imminent fight. However, it was hard to believe that amid such bizarre camaraderie, something so violent could occur. The presence of the whale, in particular, seemed to confer an air of surrealism to the moment that disarmed the expectation of a confrontation.

Smoker, realizing the gazes upon him, knew he could not let the situation escalate there. "Just remember, Luffy, that your time is running out. And when it does, I'll be there to make sure you pay for everything you've done."

Luffy just nodded, his attention apparently more focused on the plate in front of him than on Smoker's warnings. "As you wish, Smoker. But for now, let's enjoy the food, right?"

As the meal continued, the bar began to resume a buzz of normality, even with the imposing presence of Smoker, Luffy, Ace, and the whale Laboon among them. Luffy and Ace, enjoying the food and each other's company, laughed and chatted as if they had forgotten the world around them.

The waiter, now a little more relaxed, served another round of drinks, while observing the unusual dynamics of the brothers and the Navy captain. The entire place was enveloped in the contagious energy of the pirates, until a sudden silence fell over the table.

Smoker's patience finally ran out. With a swift movement, he punched the table forcefully.

*CRACK!*

“Enough! I'm arresting you two!” He shouted, his voice echoing through the bar.

A customer, observing the scene in surprise, intervened: “Navy officer... They're sleeping...!”

It was true. Both Luffy and Ace, amid conversation and laughter, had succumbed to sleep, their heads resting on the destroyed table. Laboon, confused by the sudden change, emitted an interrogative “Grrr?”.

“HOW CAN YOU SLEEP HERE!” Smoker, completely losing his composure, broke what remained of the table with his two hands.

At that moment, Ace began to wake up, sleepy and confused by the noise. “Hm??!! What's all this noise, can't you see people are sleeping here?” he asked, rubbing his eyes.

Luffy, still half asleep, murmured: “I think I slept a bit.” He looked at the destroyed table, slowly processing the situation. “It was a good meal, but I think we have to go now. Let's go, Ace!” With a fluid movement, he grabbed a gold bar and threw it on the counter. “Waiter, this covers your costs!” Luffy said, grabbing Laboon by the arm and pulling Ace by the other.

“Goodbye, Smoker!” Luffy laughed, his voice full of amusement, as he left through the door.

“I won't let you escape!” Smoker, transformed into smoke, rushed after Luffy, determined not to lose sight of the pirates.

As Luffy left with Ace and Laboon, leaving the bar and fleeing from the Navy officer, the customers were stunned, witnessing an ending as sudden and chaotic as the meeting itself. The bar, now silent, was filled with incredulous looks and whispers about the surreal scene they had just witnessed.
