Third Person POV

Orange Town, East Blue.

...

...

As soon as the explosion subsided and the entire area fell into silence, all those who had witnessed this spectacle were left wondering what had just happened.

*Whistle*

In the midst of the silence that enveloped the atmosphere, Luffy whistled, breaking the quiet, and exclaimed.

"That was amazing, the art is an explosion! Hahaha!" Luffy laughed heartily, snapping the rest of his crew out of their dazed state, and they stared at him as if he were a madman.

"How can you find this incredible!?" Kuina and Lami shouted comically.

Luffy paid no attention to them and looked at the island, still some distance away. He turned to his crew with a smile.

"I think our friends are waiting for us, so let's keep attacking them!" Luffy said as the ship regained speed after the explosion had temporarily hindered its progress.

"Are the cannons ready? Keep firing, Kuina, you're in charge of them. I'll head over there to attack the center of Buggy's camp with Yamato." Luffy said as wings sprouted from his back, and his hair grew.

"EHHHHH???" Yamato exclaimed in surprise when she was suddenly grabbed by Luffy and swiftly pulled into the air.

Luffy soared into the sky with Yamato in tow, covering two kilometers in no time and landing in the square where the bandits' camp was located. Chaos reigned at the fringes of the location, but the center remained relatively unaffected by the marine ship's explosions. Luffy observed that they were preparing another Buggyball to shoot at the ship quickly, and he wasn't going to allow that to happen again.

Hovering about 500 meters above the ground, with his arm wrapped around Yamato's waist, they rapidly descended at high speed.

"How is the ship intact after that attack?" Mohji asked in disbelief.

They had been celebrating when they witnessed the explosion, thinking it had hit the ship.

However, as the steam and smoke cleared, they were dumbfounded to see the ship approaching, seemingly unaffected by the explosion.

"Is it just me, or was the Buggyball explosion much more powerful than usual..."

"I believe they intercepted the bomb before it hit the ship since the explosion seemed quite close," Cabaji commented next to Buggy.

"So prepare another Buggyball!" Buggy shouted, and everyone readied themselves to launch another attack on the marine ship.

Meanwhile, unnoticed by them, Luffy and Yamato had landed with a powerful thud.

"Boom!"

The sudden noise caught the attention of the pirates and the orange-haired girl, who watched in surprise as these figures appeared after the dust from the earlier attack began to settle.

"Who are you, you scoundrels!?" Buggy was the first to speak, clearly enraged, as he witnessed these two individuals.

He shouted hysterically, seeing a tall, tattooed man wearing black pirate clothes with a straw hat on his back, along with a taller woman with horns holding a massive spiked kanabo. They seemed to have appeared magically in the midst of the ongoing battle against the "Navy," which was drawing closer.

"Hm? Since you asked, I'll answer. My name is Monkey D. Luffy! The man who will dominate all the seas of this world!" Luffy announced with a confident smile.

"Huh? Do you think you're the Pirate King? You're insane. Kill them!" Buggy immediately ordered, unwilling to hear any more of this nonsense.

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

As Buggy shouted, the approaching marine ship continued firing cannonballs at the pirates under Kuina's direct orders on the ship's deck.

Ten men ran towards Luffy and Yamato, brandishing swords with malicious intent. Yamato took a step forward and effortlessly used her kanabo to send anyone who came close flying like rockets.

The witnesses were horrified to see this scene.

"Captain Buggy, they're monsters!" Several of the men commented, their faces displaying shock.

"What? Kill them using the Buggyball!" Buggy ordered, seeing the broken and unconscious bodies.

"I won't allow that." Luffy stated as he used his speed to pass through the pirates and appeared next to the cannon. The pirates were preparing to fire at point-blank range.

"What?" A chorus of voices was heard as Luffy stood next to the cannon and used his muscles to lift the entire metal cannon effortlessly from the ground.

"Hehehe, sorry, but I'll take this." Luffy said as he casually grabbed the cannon and raised it high, tossing it more than 500 meters into the sea like it was a toy.

"WHAT???" A chorus was heard as the pirates witnessed Luffy's superhuman strength when he threw their primary weapon into the air.

"It can't be possible?" The orange-haired girl was left in shock, choking on her words after witnessing Luffy's incredible display of strength. She had never known or seen that humans could be so strong.

Both Buggy, Cabaji, Mohji, the giant lion, Richie, and the rest of the pirates were left astounded by the display of inhuman power.

"That must be the power of some Devil Fruit!" Buggy exclaimed.

Seeing the horrified silence that had taken over, Luffy turned to Buggy and said, "Buggy, I'll give you a choice. I'll either let you surrender peacefully or beat you up before taking your bounty. What do you say?" Luffy inquired, aiming to further provoke the comical clown.

"What did you say, you scoundrel? Are you Bounty Hunter Zoro?" Buggy shouted angrily at Luffy's audacity but soon asked, curious if Zoro had arrived in the East Blue.

"No, I'm a pirate, and I'm after money, so I'll rob you and claim your bounty. Big red nose!" Luffy grinned greedily and shouted to further provoke Buggy.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?! Curse you! Cabaji and Mohji, deal with that woman, and I'll take care of this audacious pirate!" Buggy said with hatred.

He yelled without any concern for the approaching marines, as he launched an attack at Luffy. This man had enraged him and mocked his nose.

"Bara Bara Ho!" Buggy launched an attack with knives between his fingers. Luffy looked at it and sighed.

"Then die!!" Luffy heard Buggy's words and, rather than using his Devil Fruit power, he simply dodged the knives.

"Don't run away, you scoundrel!" Luffy heard Buggy shout as he easily evaded.

"Hey, is that your best speed?" Mocking the clown, Luffy sprinted towards him with his fists.

Buggy, seeing him coming, smiled, thinking that this man didn't possess the same speed he had demonstrated when he had appeared next to the cannon earlier.

But Buggy, expecting to split his body to escape Luffy's attack, only detached his head, leaving his body exposed. Luffy didn't stop, remembering the same scene from the early chapters of the original story.

"What an idiot!" Luffy couldn't help but taunt as he punched the exposed body with his normal strength, yet his enhanced body and the benefits of his Zoan-type Devil Fruit made his physical power an effortless weapon. He felt

 his punch burying into Buggy's abdomen.

"I thought the fool would only do this in the anime, but it seems I overestimated him!" Luffy thought as he watched Buggy's body in front of him react to his punch.

Quickly, the body had shrunk under the explosive impact. Buggy's head, floating in the air, had eyes rolled up as he sputtered, spitting out saliva. Afterward, the body soared like a rocket towards some nearby structures.

*Boom!*

"Captain Buggy!" The pirates cried out as they saw their captain's body flying, while his head suffered in the air.
