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.
